We always go to Pawleys. Quiet, not crowded. Lovely.

What about Oak Island? You can take a day excursion and go do a few putt putts at Myrtle beach, plus there is the Fort Fisher ferry, Aquarium, and Southport.

Don't do Myrtle proper. As others pointed out, go a little further south to Surfside, Murrells Inlet, or Pawleys. There are not a lot of hotels, so you have to go with a local property management company (example: https://www.gardencityrealty.com/).
The Grand Strand has great beaches. Myrtle is not great, but the rest of the area is.

We went a couple of years ago and really enjoyed Myrtle Beach. We stayed at the Marriott Grande Dunes.

Another option is surf side. It’s about 10 - 15 mins south of Myrtle beach. I’m not sure about restaurants in that area as in if you can walk to them. Also check out ocean lakes. It’s a camp ground seems like a lot of fun. I have never been though.

Also crime there has ticketed up quite a bit.
We stopped there last August because we had a wedding near there. We hadn’t been in years . The whole area is just gross.
The embassy Suites just did a huge renovation a few years back and it’s basically crime city. Two rooms on our floor were robbed the nights we were there, The fancy Marriot property cars were broken into.
It’s a dump now,
+1. I haven't been in 30 years, but an old friend we used to vacation with said she stopped for a weekend while passing through SC and the area was nearly unrecognizable (crime, rundown, etc). And this is coming from a person I consider able to roll with things.
Do what you can to move this rendezvous to Hilton Head.
