Mobile Phone use in the US is EXPENSIVE. Don't pay the rip off charges over there, get a MAXROAM sim before you go and get a US and Irish number in one. Call home for the price of a local call from your mobile!

    Hi, Theres a load of us heading 2 Myrtle Beach this summer, maybe 20. Thinkin bout gettin 2 houses but now looking towards Rainbow court. most likely that there would be 7 of us staying in 2 rooms. Is rainbow court the best option ya? also is it easy to get a job and would you want to have one sorted before you go?

    Any advice would be appreciated so tanx in advance!

    right i was in myrtle beach last summer!! best summer ever, seriously unreal!!

    but dont even bother to go if u dont stay in rainbow court, seriously.

    myrtle beach itself isnt an amazing city or anything but the people and the banter in rainbow court is what makes it! so if u dont stay there u'll probably get sick of it!! all the irish stay there. the darlington is about a 5 min walk from rainbow court but its much smaller and we had mates staying there last year and the owner is a complete bitch i.e. have a session and she basically evicts u and calls the cops!! and there pool is shit compared to rainbow courts. it isnt perfect or anything (i.e. NEVER get your roomed cleaned or u'll be completely fleeced by the cleaners) but it definately does the job!!

    any other questions about myrtler just ask

    rainbow court is grand....place is cleaned before ya move in (be sure to ask to check before handing over any money) and just keep da cleaners outta ur place for da summer... ders all bunk beds aswell (we had 9 in da same place)so u def wont be payin more dan 85dollars a week which is really good....

    any houses are a bit far out...i guarntee ul regret it if u dont stay in rainbow da irish just take it over... just give dem a call and dey'l reserve a place for ya...i kno a fair few ppl who have da place nooked already so get callin!!!

    was in myrtle in 06-there was about 12 of us the most unreal summer ever!
    stay in rainbow not in the darlington too far away, we got a house in rainbow for all of us, however dont let the cleaners in they robbed us blind!! and watch out foe scary wendy(the owner). worked in peaches corner-such a laugh and just a 5 min walk up the strip from rainbow ask for briggs the owner(really hot!) kryptonite unreal if your underage get a fake id they take them no bother!
