Two Randleman couples have opened a new motel at Myrtle Beach.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Swaim and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Davis own and operate the Star Lite Lodge, a 16-unit motel located seven blocks from the new Pavilion on the corner of 11th Avenue South and South Ocean Boulevard.

The court offers bedrooms and kitchenette apartments year-round. It overlooks the ocean and is just 75 yards from the beach. It's located on a quiet section of the Grand Strand, yet convenient to amenities.
