Andrew, I was born and raised about 35 miles from MB. Not a lot of hotel experience, but the optimum place would be on the beach side of Ocean Blvd. You can easily walk to the beach from there. Anything on the far side of Highway 17 would not be advisable, as there are 6-8 lanes of busy traffic and usually 3-5 blocks of walking. There are tons of nice places to stay, just search around on the web for discounts and reviews. There are tons of golf courses and you should drive up to N Myrtle Beach to Nick's Cigars right off highway 17. Also, go south to Murrells Inlet for some great seafood fare. Have a blast!
