Marina Inn At Grande Dunes

Waterfront Luxury Just Minutes from Myrtle Beach’s Music Scene

Modern comfort meets coastal charm at the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, a stylish resort perched right on the marina and just 1.5 miles from the sandy shores of Myrtle Beach. With two pools, an on-site restaurant and bar, and in-room spa services, this upscale hotel offers a relaxed, scenic home base for concert-goers looking to unwind before and after the show.

Whether you're catching a live show downtown or heading to one of the beachside venues, this hotel puts you close to the action without the noise and crowds of downtown nightlife. Expect a peaceful retreat with views, convenience, and a touch of luxury.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Marina Inn’s location makes it easy to get to Myrtle Beach’s top concert venues in under 15 minutes by car. After the show, return to a quiet waterfront setting where you can relax by the pool or have a nightcap at the lobby bar. The flexible 4:00 PM check-in time gives you plenty of room to arrive and get concert-ready. And if you’re staying into the next morning, the 11:00 AM checkout gives you time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a laid-back base with space to hang out
- Solo travelers crossing an artist off their bucket list
- Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
- Fans who want a peaceful recovery spot after the encore
- Budget-conscious music fans looking for value in a resort setting

Food and Drink Options

Waterscapes offers locally-inspired American cuisine in a relaxed setting, perfect for pre-show dinners or post-concert bites. The Reflections Lobby Bar pours signature cocktails late into the evening, while the seasonal Anchor Café is the spot for a waterfront sunset. Though there's no 24/7 room service, the on-site dining covers most needs, and you're within a short drive of Myrtle Beach's many eateries. Breakfast is also available, ideal for those slow mornings after a long night.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, you're a short drive from downtown Myrtle Beach’s bars, lounges, and venues. The hotel’s serene atmosphere is perfect for those who want to experience the nightlife elsewhere, then come back to a more peaceful setting. Grab a drink at Reflections or head into town for more action.

What People Say

Reviewers love the spacious, clean rooms, especially those with balconies overlooking the marina. The friendly staff and resort-style amenities consistently earn high marks. Guests rave about the relaxing vibe and say it’s perfect for combining beach time with evening entertainment.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel isn’t directly on the beach—but the free seasonal shuttle helps make up for it. Others note that it’s not walkable to downtown, so having a car or rideshare plan is helpful. The dining options are solid, though a few guests wished for later night food service.
