We're More Than Just Grand Strand Hotels - We're An Alluring Place To Live, Too

What's so special about this 60-mile stretch of golden sand beach? What makes people want to put down roots in this historic and scenic locale? Perhaps it's the rhythmic lapping of waves that soothes the soul. Maybe it's the gracious, relaxed lifestyle unique to the South. Or perhaps it's the fact that beyond the traditional Grand Strand hotels, there are miles of trendy boutiques, quaint diners, and family-friendly activities. However, despite the rapid growth of the communities in the Myrtle Beach area, we're still "small-town America" at heart. A truly wonderful place to visit - and live. Immerse yourself in antique churches with storied graveyards, plantation homes built by some of our nation's most prominent citizens, and landmarks designed in the classic style of early America. Join the growing number of folks living permanently among the surrounding Grand Strand golf courses and pristine beach, including:
  • Families with small children
  • Retirees
  • Young singles
