DAYTON HOUSE RESORT

Generations of Family Fun Creating fun for everyone has been the legacy of the Dayton House Resort for over 50 years and counting. It's the perfect place to enjoy a family vacation, cherish a romantic getaway, host a social event, or experience the entertainment that the Grand Strand has to offer. The Dayton House Resort features complimentary wireless internet, indoor and outdoor pools, Yella Umbrella pool bar and grill, spas and lazy river, game room, ATM, fitness center and a guest laundry facility. Restaurant and meeting rooms are also available for up to 150 guests. There is no better time than now to enjoy the amenities and indulge yourself with warm, Southern hospitality.

In September 1960, we moved from Monroe, NC to Myrtle Beach, SC to operate the Dayton House, a 14 room beach cottage on the oceanfront. As was the custom in the 50's and 60's, the operators lived in the cottage and did everything that needed to be done, rented and cleaned rooms, washed the laundry, performed the maintenance, they did it all. That's the way it was at the Colonial Inn, the Martha Fickling, the Helena Villa, and the Parker House. That was Myrtle Beach; beach cottages, snow cones, putt putt, cruisin' the boulevard and rides at the Pavilion.

In the past 40 years, the Myrtle Beach has changed. Once a sleepy little beach town that hosted Carolina vacationers from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Myrtle Beach has grown to be one of the top two vacation destinations on the East Coast, as well as the nations number one family beach, serving guests all year long from all over the globe. Besides the beautiful white, sandy beach, the Grand Strand now offers visitors golf galore, top notch entertainment, world class dining, shopping and more shopping, and almost anything they could want - including modern accommodations.

Over those 40 years, the Dayton House has changed as well. From it's humble beginnings as a 14 room cottage, the Dayton House has grown into a 328 room resort with five buildings spanning an entire oceanfront block. For your convenience and enjoyment, the resort now features a restaurant, oceanfront snack bar, meeting rooms, a business center and complimentary wireless internet throughout the resort. We've also created what many guests have described as the most beautiful and comfortable pool and lawn on the Grand Strand.
