The Resort has a New Address

With the addition of our new front desk, we thought it appropriate for it to have a new address. Here are the changes:

Old Address was 1250 U.S. Highway 17 North, Surfside Beach, SC 29575

New Address is 1251 Grand Palms Resort Drive, Surfside Beach, SC 29575

• Swings - Infant and standard

• ADA-accessible Glider

• Swinging Benches

• Slides - covered, uncovered

• Tower - look-out tower

Paving, Sealing and Striping - Outdoor Pool Parking Lot

The Outdoor Pool Parking Lot has a fresh new look after being paved, sealed, and striped.

More New Sidewalks, Curb and Gutter

As you walk along Presidential Drive, you may notice the beginning of sidewalks that will eventually create a continual path along the odd-side of the road. There’s also sidewalks to the trash receptacle areas so that you can keep your feet clean and dry as you take out the trash. We redid the roadside sidewalks on the odd-side of Double Eagle Drive between building 201 and 223 adding ADA-compliant ramps. We’ve added curbing to the even-side of Double Eagle Drive from the Activity Center entrance to building 212, creating a more clean-cut and beautiful aesthetic. This also improves drainage when big storms come our way. We've redone the entrance to the outdoor pool making it more ADA-friendly. These comprehensive sidewalk and curb enhancements not only enhance the visual appeal of the area but also contribute to a cleaner, more convenient, and weather-resistant environment for owners and visitors of all ages and abilities.

Construction in the Community Surrounding Grand Palms Resort

The Ocean Palms residential development has begun construction on its second phase of homes along side of our Resort behind the odd-side of Double Eagle and Presidential Drives. A new developer has begun clearing the land behind the even-side of Double Eagle Drive. Although there may be lots of dirt to see now, we hope that these new developments will only add to the view of what used to be part of the old south golf course. And once the dust from the construction has settled, we will be planting additional palms and other beautiful greenery between our new neighbors and the Resort. We're committed to making Grand Palms Resort your vacation oasis and a beautiful vacation destination for you now and for years to come.
