            <title>Oceanfront Beach House Along the Grand Strand | Myrtle Beach Area Oceanfront Homes</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Grand Strand has many areas along the coast that offer
oceanfront homes, as of July, 3 2010 there are currently 132 oceanfront homes
listed along the Grand Strand. From oceanfront estates to vacation homes that
offer great investment potential you are sure to find an oceanfront home that
will suit your needs. I will break down the areas along the Grand Strand and
the type of oceanfront properties you will find in each area. 



Myrtle Beach is the most recognized area along the Grand
Strand and offers oceanfront homes from $975,000-$4,900,000. Many of the
oceanfront homes located along &ldquo;Golden Mile&rdquo; section of Myrtle Beach are
located on larger oceanfront lots. If you are looking for an oceanfront
vacation rental a majority of the homes found along the Golden Mile do not
allow weekly vacation rentals. At the very south end of Myrtle Beach you will
find an oceanfront community that borders Myrtle Beach State Park and Lakewood
campground. Long Bay Estates offers many oceanfront homes at reasonable prices,
many of the oceanfront lots are &frac12; acre and larger. We have several of the
oceanfront homes found in this community on our vacation rental program at
Beach Realty. Oceanfront homes within this community can do well over $100,000
a year in vacation rental income. At the northern end of Myrtle Beach the Dunes
club area offers some of the most beautiful and most expensive oceanfront homes
found along the Grand Strand. Two of the more expensive oceanfront homes are
found in this area. Both of these homes are newer construction and are listed
close to $5,000,000.



Heading north out of Myrtle Beach we find a small
incorporated town. Briarcliffe Acres offers several oceanfront homes that are
also on larger lots. Both of the oceanfront houses listed in Briarcliffe Acres
are on residential lots that are close to 1 acre. The two oceanfront homes
listed in Briarcliffe Acres range from $3,000,000-$5,000,000. Briarcliffe Acres
does not allow weekly rentals.



Just north of Briarcliffe Acres we find North Myrtle Beach.
North Myrtle Beach offers many opportunities to own an oceanfront home. Prices
for an oceanfront home in this area range from $900,000-$3,000,000, with 18
houses listed as of July 3, 2010. A majority of the homes in North Myrtle Beach
oceanfront do allow vacation rentals. This area has been a favorite for
vacationing families for many years, so an oceanfront home should prove to be a
good investment.



Just south of Myrtle Beach you will find an area that has
become recognized as the &ldquo;family beach&rdquo;; Surfside Beach offers many
opportunities to own an oceanfront home. A majority of the homes that are owned
oceanfront in Surfside Beach are rented through different vacation rental companies.
Beach Realty offers some great management rates and is less restrictive on
vacation home owners than many of the other companies in the area. Many of the
oceanfront homes in Surfside Beach are booked throughout the summer months as
many families vacation to this area year after year. Currently, there are 19
oceanfront homes for sale in Surfside Beach priced from $789,000-$2,495,000.



Driving along the coast south out of Surfside Beach you will
soon be in Garden City Beach. Garden City also offers many oceanfront homes
that are rented throughout the year as vacation rentals. As you head further
south along Waccamaw Drive in Garden City on the right you will see the
Murrells Inlet tidal creek and on the left will be many beautiful oceanfront
homes. There are several oceanfront homes on the very south end of Garden City that
also come with deeded boat docks on Murrells Inlet tidal creek. Garden City
also offers a marina that gives home owners and vacationers opportunities to
rent boats, go parasailing, and book fishing charters. If you own an oceanfront
home in Garden City there are a few restaurant options nearby, Gulf Stream Caf
and Sara Js both offer up a very good dining experience from fresh seafood
platters to delicious steak dinners. At the very south end of Garden City is
the private gated community Inlet Harbor. Homes found within Inlet Harbor
consist of primary homes, second homes, and vacation rentals. There are
currently 25 oceanfront homes for sale in Garden City with prices ranging from
$800,000-$2,600,000.



South of Garden City you will find Murrells Inlet; Murrells
Inlet is separated from the beaches by a tidal creek so there are not any
direct oceanfront homes found in this area. There are many waterfront homes in
Murrells Inlet that allow owners easy access to the ocean and beaches by boat.



Leaving Murrells Inlet heading south there is a 5 mile drive
before you arrive in North Litchfield. Murrells Inlet and Litchfield Beach are
separated by Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens. Huntington
Beach state park and Brookgreen Gardens spans from the ocean to the Waccamaw
River. Litchfield Beach offers oceanfront homes in 3 different areas accessed off 17.
North Litchfield offers many oceanfront homes on larger lots. Many of the
oceanfront homes in North Litchfield are vacation rentals and second homes.
Although many of these homes are rented throughout the summer months this area
still is much less crowded than Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, and Garden City.
Many of the families that own property and vacation in North Litchfield have
been coming to this area for generations. Currently there are 3 oceanfront
homes for sale in North Litchfiled Beach, these homes range in price from
$2,200,000-$2,800,000. The next area in Litchfield that offers oceanfront homes
is Litchfield By the Sea, a gated resort development offering oceanfront homes
in the Charlestowne Grant community. There is currently 1 oceanfront home for
sale in Charlestowne Grant listed for $2,990,000. Homes in Charlestowne Grant
are mostly second homes and vacation rentals. South Litchfield Beach is the
last area in Litchfield that offers oceanfront homes. Many of the homes located
in south Litchfield Beach are second homes and vacation rentals. Like all areas
in Litchfield Beach, oceanfront homes in south Litchfield Beach are just
minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and much more. There are
currently no oceanfront homes for sale in south Litchfield Beach. All of the
areas that offer oceanfront homes in Litchfield are very popular, if priced
competitively they do not stay on the market very long.



Leaving Litchfield Beach heading south we arrive at the last
area along the Grand Strand that offers oceanfront homes. Palweys Island is
recognized as the oldest resort area in the country and is recognized by many
property owners and visitors as being &ldquo;arrogantly shabby&rdquo;. The laid back,
shoeless way of life in the summer months is what so many families come back
for year after year.&nbsp; Pawleys Island
vacationers typically do not come to the area for all the attractions located in
Myrtle Beach just north of Pawleys Island. Usually families that visit this
area enjoy the less crowded beaches, restaurants, and crabbing if the vacation
home has a boat dock on Pawleys Island tidal creek. There are two ways to
access Pawleys Island, the north and south causeway&nbsp; are the only way to get over the tidal creek
that separates the island from the mainland. There are currently 19 homes for
sale in Pawleys Island with prices ranging from $1,500,000-$5,000,000.
Oceanfront homes in Pawleys Island are a mixture of second homes, primary
residences, and vacation rentals.



Just south of Pawleys Island are two gated communities that
offer oceanfront homes on larger home sites. Debordieu Colony and Prince George
are two very exclusive communities that offer oceanfront homes that are either
second homes or primary residences. Both communities do not allow vacation
rentals. Debordieu Colony is a gated community that offers a tennis club, private
golf course, and much more. In Debordieu and Prince George there are currently
16 oceanfront homes for sale, with prices ranging from $1,700,000-$4,700,000.
Many of the oceanfront home sites are 1+ acre. If you are looking for an
exclusive and very private community to own an oceanfront home both Prince
George and Debordieu Colony may offer what you have been searching for.



If you are searching for an oceanfront vacation rental,
second home, or primary residence, one of the areas along the Grand Strand may
have what you are searching for. Comparing the prices for oceanfront homes
along the Grand Strand to coastal areas across the country many people realize
this coastal area is very affordable.
