Myrtle Beach, SC, features 60 miles of Atlantic coast beaches. There are many accommodations in the area, from hotels to condos to Myrtle Beach house rentals. However, one of the best ways to experience all this popular destination has to offer is to stay at a beachfront property.
Most people who stay here once start booking the same week every year. The six properties below, all managed by Sea Mountain Vacations, are some of the best reasons to make that first trip.
Reach for the Moon started as the Sun and Sea Motor Inn in the 1960s, a beachside motel that locals still remember fondly. The building has been completely rebuilt across four floors, but the light-up crescent moons on the rooftop are still there. Twenty-four guests spread across eight bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and the rooftop deck gives 360-degree views of the ocean, marsh, and pier that no condo balcony can match.
Outside, there's a fenced private pool for the family and an indoor swim spa in a private sunroom for the adults. The game room covers air hockey, foosball, a pool table, and a LOTR pinball machine. Younger guests get a kiddie corner play area and a secret Shore Floor cubby hideout. Every floor has filtered water dispensers, and the whole place is pet-friendly.
For large family reunions or multi-generational trips, it's hard to find anything more thoughtfully designed.
Sitting in the Cherry Grove neighborhood, Camp Coquina is with a private dock, a hot tub, and two balconies overlooking the waterway. The dock has a fish-cleaning station for anyone who plans to use it. Inside, natural wood floors run through bright, open rooms with smart TVs in every bedroom and a fully equipped kitchen stocked for real cooking.
The gas grill handles dinner outside when the weather cooperates, and the washer, dryer, and high-speed WiFi take care of the practical side of a longer stay. Two queen beds, a king suite, and additional sleeping across the other rooms comfortably house 14 people. For a group that wants a private waterfront home rather than a resort unit, this is the right pick.
Palm Cove is a waterfront home in Cherry Grove with a heated private pool, a spa, and something most beach rentals don't offer: a private balcony off every single bedroom. The layout runs open-concept on the main level, with the living room, kitchen, and dining area all connected and plenty of natural light coming off the water.
Two king suites, a queen bed, and bunk and trundle beds cover 13 guests without squeezing anyone. Smart TVs throughout, high-speed WiFi, a BBQ grill in the fenced yard, and an outdoor dining setup round out the outdoor side. The water views from the balconies are what people talk about after the trip.
Brightside House is a three-level Cherry Grove property built to accommodate the whole group's needs to be under one roof. Seven king beds, six twin beds, and a full pullout sleep 22 people across five bedrooms, and there are two full kitchen areas on different levels, so nobody is waiting in line to make coffee. Two game rooms, including a garage hangout and a hidden arcade room, give the group somewhere to land after dinner.
The heated private pool sits in a fenced backyard with swing chairs, outdoor dining, and a poolside lounge setup. The beach-themed décor runs through the whole house, and each bedroom has its own smart TV and plush bedding. For large family trips or big friend groups who want to stay in one place rather than splitting across units, Brightside handles it.
Beach Days & Fairways sits on a channel with a floating dock, a fishing landing, and direct water access that most beach houses don't have. The name tells you who it's built for: groups that split time between the water and the golf course. Five bedrooms sleep 14, and the private heated pool and covered hot tub take care of afternoons that aren't spent on a fairway.
The kitchen seats the full group with stainless steel appliances and a dining area for 14. Two ocean kayaks are included for guests who want to get on the water without booking anything extra. With over 100 golf courses within easy reach of North Myrtle Beach, the access is hard to beat.
The Chateau Grand is a professionally designed coastal estate steps from the beach, with four king beds and four queen beds across five bedrooms sleeping 16. The pool is heated and chilled with a tanning ledge and an infinity spa alongside it. An elevator connects all three floors, which is a practical detail that matters when you're traveling with grandparents or anyone who doesn't want to navigate stairs after a long beach day.
The interior design shows that the finishes are deliberate, and the spaces feel as if they were put together rather than assembled. This home is perfect for milestone celebrations, multi-family retreats, or any group that wants a step above the standard beach rental.
