I am by no means an expert but I would think your biggest weekend is going to be during the festivals.

We have dozens of top-notch golf courses, the annual Carolina Country Music Festival, a few annual bike rallies, and the Myrtle Beach Convention Center which hosts dozens of expos and events throughout the year. 

Being on the coast, there's a sea breeze that makes the humidity bearable and it's more of a small town feel (since you don't want the big city) with lots of great art, festivals and other quality of life aspects (not counting the occasional hurricane).Sounds to me like you need a big ol' road trip to find the place that appeals to you most.

They know that overstaying the festivities ¾ that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future ¾ will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice.

An area like Asheville may not have as large a season difference in rates but maybe there is say an event that drives up rates like a music festival. 

There's so many more shows for couples (Celine, Britney, Cirque de Soleil), clubs and music festivals for the twenty-somethings, and even more options for the family than before (like the LINQ complex).

It's going to be a day for football, for family and friends catching up and probably stories from old timers.Not all of us will have a traditional feast or opportunity to enjoy these festivities.

It's great to go down to the local art show or festival and constantly run into people you know.

Be sure to check out the upcoming Pigtown Festival to get a positive vibe for the neighborhood. 

I use Wheelhouse to price my listings and I would say my prices were pretty competitive and I was averaging $360 ADR but take into account this factors in Coachella music festival, tennis tournament rates where rates are much higher as you already aware.
