    Rainbow court has apparently closed down and its the Beverly Motel. Its €100 deposit each and €75 a week for 4 ppl sharing. Myself and two other girls are going so i think its €100 a week each then for three?

    Thanks for the information. I checked the website and it looks like they are double beds? Might not be so suitable for 5 lads! Ill have to do some more research.

    Hi... For all of you thinking of Myrtle Beach Summer 2012.. I am currently looking into the possibility of opening a 100% Irish dedicated budget accommodation centre for J-1 Students. I have had first hand exp in the late 90,s as a student. I also witnessed the same difficulties Irish students have, during a spell in Myrtle Beach last summer. Deposits not being returned, Horrendous conditions, high rent and landlords who take advantage. This often puts a bad taste on the place for students when they leave. I am also hoping to put together a comprehensive guide to the Myrtle Beach, incl, jobs info, cost of living, transport, social scene etc..All I can say is that I had 2 great summers as a student and the place had the same buzz when i returned last year. 50 miles of beach...what can i say... send me a mail for more info.. conorkeane@hotmail.com

    Mr E,

    From what I understand most of the Irish stayed in Beverley last year but it got a bad rep, trouble with uncleanliness as well as getting deposits back. We are considering it as an option though. We may also look into getting a house but a motel seems most likely.
