| Fun Things to Do at Dayton House Resort in Myrtle Beach SC © Katrena |
The Dayton House Resort, located at 2400 N. Ocean Blvd. in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has been around since the 1960's and offers a friendly family atmosphere that encourages families with multiple generations to visit over and over again. Our family has stayed at the resort several times over the years and we've found that the hotel has evolved to incorporate a great mix of activities. The pools, decks, and grassy areas appeared to be well-maintained when we visited.

My favorite pool is the indoor/outdoor pool. I think I can get sunburned in about 15 minutes while being lathered with 70 SPF, but I really enjoy hearing the ocean waves while enjoying an outdoor atmosphere. This pool was a great option for me and tended to be less crowded than the largest pool.

A sauna and hot tub are located next to the indoor/outdoor pool. We visited in the middle of July in 2023 and it was hot and humid already, so I didn't try either one of them. However, my oldest daughter sat in the hot tub both days we visited and enjoyed it. She mentioned to be particularly careful when stepping into the hot tub because there is a third step that is easy to miss when the water is bubbling.

The largest pool offers zero entry, which is especially nice for people with mobility issues or for those who want to enjoy a very shallow area without going to a separate pool. This one tends to be quite popular. When staying in an ocean front room in the middle building, the balcony provides a nice view of this pool as well as the ocean.

On Sunday afternoon, a DJ played music between the snack bar and largest pool. I noticed people of all ages were enjoying the music and a few were dancing by the pool. We only saw the DJ with music on Sunday, so I'm guessing they only offer it on the weekends or just for special occasions.

To the left of the snack bar is a room with a ping pong table. Guests may check out paddles and balls at the front desk. A small kid's pool is also by the snack area at the south building.

The suites building features an indoor pool, which is a great option if weather conditions don't allow for outdoor swimming. A small indoor kids pool is located beside this one on one side. Another larger hot tub is located just outside the door by the other end of the indoor pool.

Dayton House now offers a lazy river that runs outside in front of the suites building. Guests can hop in a provided flotation device and float through various spraying features. We made a few laps around the lazy river one day.

A couple of sets of corn hole boxes are located in the grassy area with the yellow umbrellas. Guests can check out beanbags at the front desk. It's particularly nice to do this on grass because the sand can get particularly hot in the middle of the summer.

Dayton House offers a fitness center in the west building for those who wish to exercise indoors while on vacation. They have a couple of machines (pictured above) while the other half of the floor is open, so if you want to do dance exercise, kickboxing, yoga, tai chi, Pilates, etc., you'll have a space to do so. The fitness room has two mounted TVs and some towels for your convenience and is located next to the laundry.

We enjoyed days with no rain, so we opted for walking on the beach for our exercise, walking down to the Skywheel one evening and walking the other direction on the other day. Walking in the sand is a great workout while enjoying the sounds of the surf and perhaps a beautiful sunrise or sunset. I recommend wearing flip flops or slides because the dry sand can get quite hot in the hotter parts of the day. We went barefoot once we got out to the wet sand. Of course, swimming in the ocean is another option for those who are strong swimmers. Four of the current Dayton House Resort buildings are adjacent to the beach. Those staying in the west building are right across the street and parking for guests is free.
