I'm looking for suggestions from all the Myrtle Beach experts here. Me and my wife would like to buy a vaction property for our enjoyment. We are in our late 40's and our kids are grown. I would like suggestions on areas where to look.
We would like something in some sort of devolpement, as it would be most likely empty untill we use it, and we would like it is a safe area so a good neighborhood is a must. The distance from the beach is not that important. The only amenity that we would like is a pool. We would like something under 75k. Condo, town homes, high rise or low rise is all ok. Ok experts, hit me locations and devolments so I can start to compile a list areas to visit!

Do you know what town you'd like to be in? North Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove, Windy Hill, Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, Surfside, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Litchfield, Pawleys Island?
$75,000 is a good budget.
One thing I would recommend is that you get in a complex that has very few vacation rentals. Transient rentals are difficult to constantly be around if you move here permanently.
Personally, I would look from about 30th Avenue North up to the Dunes Club in Myrtle Beach. The best area would be from the 60s to the 70s Avenues and in particular the 70s. That area is older with better built townhouses.
I would go more for proximity to the ocean (at most these condos/townhouses are 6-8 blocks to the beach, closer on the east side of Kings Highway) than the pool.

I guess the town doesn't matter much. I like your suggestion about the beach. I'll look in that area you described. I see some condos in The Caravelle Resort. What do you think of that? Any other deployments I should be looking at? Thanks for your insight!

I like the Caravelle but it is ALL transient rental. You aren't going to get any peace and quiet there because your neighbors change every single week.
The upside is if you need to rent the condo to offset mortgage and upkeep, you'll get good rental income there.
Personally, I would look off the ocean in the 60s up through the 80s. Short walk to the beach, close to lots of shopping and dining, very few weekly rentals. Stay on the ocean side of Kings Highway.
I would contact Pam Guthrie at Seaside Realty. Her family has been in that area for decades and the also own property in the area. She's very knowledgeable about Myrtle Beach proper. It is a family owned real estate company (her parents own it and Pam has been a realtor here since she graduated from Clemson in 1986).
Thanks for all your help. I appreciate your advice.
