South of MB from Murrells Inlet through Litchfield to Pawleys Island is much more laid back, low country living. There are quaint shops and eateries, and many very upscale neighborhoods. Traffic??? Yes, it's usually heavy because there is only one road, Highway 17.
Sailing ??? I'm not sure about. I'm not aware of any marinas south of Murrells Inlet, but you can access the ocean there, or in Litchfield. A person could spend a lifetime enjoying the laid back atmosphere and southern lifestyle in Pawleys Island and never have to go up to Myrtle Beach for anything. I suggest renting a condo or house for a minimum of a month, hopefully longer. August and September would be good. You can experience the low country heat and humidity, the busier month of August, and quieter month of September (with the exception of golfers).

Thank you!
From what you wrote it seems PI or another similarly quiet area outside MB would be the way to go. They are truly tired of living amongst tourists, especially the hard partying kind.
They resided in a 55 and over community in Southern California for nine years just prior to moving to HI, enjoying the relative peacefulness of that community. Since they have traveled the world, literally, they are familiar with spending time in hot, humid climates. Where they live now in HI it is hot and humid at times but then the Trade Winds kick in. Being in a coastal community is important to them. I agree they should rent for a couple months at least which I imagine they want to do.
