Carolina Dunes
For a long stay at Myrtle Beach, the best way to operate is by not simply getting a hotel room, but by actually renting a condo. The Caravelle's Carolina Dunes serves as a base of operations while you take advantage of the resort's golfing specials. At Carolina Dunes, there are two- and three-bedroom condos to be rented out, at a spacious 1,200 and 1,400 square feet, respectively.

St. Johns Inn
The St. Johns Inn is an option for a frugal golfer who's looking for the Caravelle experience at the absolute lowest price. As of 2010, a room with two queen-size beds at the St. Johns Inn cost only 50 percent of what a two-bed suite at Carolina Dunes would cost. St. Johns is suited for solo travelers and couples who plan on being out at Arrowhead and Prestwick golfing while staying there, rather than cooped up in their hotel room.
