Our Ocean Boulevard is only about fifteen or so lots long, cut off on the north end by the Myrtle Beach State Park, and on the south end by the Lake that comes from the park and flows in our back yard.

Wireless Internet access is provided.
The 2 east bedroom's, each with a glass block wall, open up to the patio that faces the beach with sliding glass doors, and the fireplace room glass doors open to the pool patio and the Lake and your private yard. This can be rented alone as a 3 bedroom, or the additional seperate 2 bedrooms and full bath upstairs may be added to rent as 5 bedrooms, one with a queen sleeper and the other a king day bed, and making 3.5 bath total.
All bedrooms have sliding glass doors, except one has single glass door, with the upstairs bedrooms opening up on balconies. The upstairs bedrooms feature high ceilings of cypress decking and beams, and one has a screened in porch area. The balcony views are exceptional!

You may bring your own linens, or we can provide you with linen service. Ask us about the check out cleaning service.
Long Bay Estates enjoys the widest beach on the strand since we have no high rises for a couple of miles in either direction, and the State Park stretches for about one and a half miles along the coast. A walk up the beach takes you to the State Park Pier for fishing or ice cream, or walk a little further to Springmaid Pier for breakfast or lunch. If you prefer to walk only a few feet for fishing, walk in your own back yard to the Lake.
The Sea Unicorn is truly a unique family vacation of fun and privacy, yet still in the heart of the town, close to the excitement, and only 10 minutes from, the Theme Park. There is no worry about who to call if there's a problem, since the owner lives upstairs on the north side of the property. Call soon, we book quickly.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
The Sea Unicorn has been our family home since 1978. It was a simple wooden beach house with an unfinished downstairs. Little by little, my parents added the porches, the fireplaces, laundry room, brick, greenhouse, garage, patios, flowers, trees. Hurricane Hugo tried to take it but the family home stood firm, even the greenhouse, well the frame anyway. Dad built it with 4x4's, notched, and huge 6"bolts, and poured concrete. Mom said, "whats your father building now?". "He said he wanted to make sure it was still here if a Hurricane blew through". And so it did. The house lost the downstairs, and we had to gut the rest, but we built back with the same love and devotion, with updates, but in keeping with the character and nostalgia of our family memories. Our green row boat is the very boat my Dad purchased when he arrived and used himself for fishing. It ended up on the other side of the neighborhood in Hurricane Hugo, but we found it and brought it home, and there it remains, in Daddy's spot by the Lake. We invite you to share the quiet, peaceful pleasure of our lake with its wildlife on one side, the sound and the feel of the ocean on the other, and a few minutes walk up the widest beach in Myrtle to the State Park. We are sure you will enjoy our family home as much as we do.

My family of 15 spent a week at this wonderful location. The neighborhood was quiet with very little, if any car traffic. The photos give a true accounting of the home. We would have like a bed instead of the hide-a-bed in the 2nd floor bedroom but we made do. The owners were gracious, rarely seen and available if needed. We were directly across the street from the beach which was sparsely populated--a very pleasant surprise, in mid summer! We spent our days relaxing by the pool and evenings cooking out on the charcoal grill in the very spacious back yard. There was plenty of room for yard games and general "goofing" around. Several of us enjoyed the paddle boat, fishing and sitting out by the waterway in the rear of the property. In general, the home was as expected and served our purposes. Since we all took turns cooking the size of the kitchen worked well for preparing meals and daily activity. We are planning on returning next summer for our family vacation and would highly recommend this rental. A great time was had by all!!!!

I stayed at the Sea Unicorn from Oct 2009-Apr 2010. Our host, Janet, was wonderful- very friendly and helpful. When we had to leave it felt like I was leaving family. The house is situated right across from a gorgeous strand of beach. There is a waterway in the back that has a lot of different wildlife. I saw otters, fish, numerous birds, swans and turtles. My favorite place in the Myrtle Beach area is Brookgreen Gardens - gorgeous American sculptures and stunning gardens. I can't wait to get back again and visit with Janet and the kids :)

Our family rented the house for 3 weeks to visit it intervills and we simply ADORED the place. The owner Janet was a pleasure to have around. She was always more then willing to fix things if need be. But still gave us privacy! It was very nice to not have to worry about kitchen appliences as there was plenty of dinnerware cutlery as well as pots pans and baking appliencies. Please feel free to us me as a refrence anytime you'd like more info!!! The house was clean and the pictures and description of location were great and correct! We'd deffinatly recomend for food; Angelos steak and pasta about 5 minutes drive from the house. As we'll as grennormans austrailian grille in bare foot landing!
