Backgroud- Family of three of a 12 yo looking to do a week long vactation to Myrtle Beach for the first time. I've gotten some recs for condo's/resorts from friends but no feedback on wether or not to book directly from the resort OR to use Vrbo/Airbnb. It makes me leary to book a unit that I have not seen but seems like even vrbo or airbnb can be decieving. Just looking for advice. Recs from friends are- Grande Shores resort, Baywatch, Montery Bay Suites, SeaWatch and Dunes Village.
