Steps from N. Ocean Blvd., near the golf course and cabana section at end of the Golden Mile IN Myrtle Beach (not miles away!) where beachfront homes end and hotels begin.

Everyone loves our guests & envies them staying here-! Close to Pine Lakes International Country Club (Myrtle Beach's first golf course), shopping, dining and the vast expanse of beach, this fun bungalow is far from noise, bunkbeds and cookie cutter houses lined up one next to another.
Relax in this renovated, distinctive home that was one of Myrtle Beach's earliest beach rentals now lovingly restored to modern living, where guests from decades ago brought handwritten recipes to leave in the cottage for future visitors. (Feel free to leave one!) There's just enough quirkiness to make you smile, kind of like the summer camp cabin you wish you had... with all the high-tech comforts of home. (Like grandma's beach house on steroids!) Everyone from the grandparents to the teens will love it-! Coastal-themed quilts, decor and art throughout. Think New England fishing village meets Key West with a bit of Southern charm thrown in.

We were in town for our son’s baseball team and this location was perfect for getting to the Ripken experience. MB was an amazing host and went out of her way to make us feel at home. There was a welcome basket of goodies for us and she even came by later in the week with a sweet treat. The house is right by the beach, great grocery stores, and other attractions. We would definitely book here again if we’re back in Myrtle Beach!

Thank you, Judi, for that vote of confidence! We always appreciate working together with our dear guests and accommodating their needs and desires to the best of our ability. It's wonderful that you found the home so spacious and were able to experience the very rare winter wonderland during the normally-warm and temperate January and February months. Wishing you all the best!
Extremely spacious and comfortable place in an odd little spot across the street from a very nice, uncrowded beach a little ways away from the main boardwalk. It was perfect for me and my three kids!

So happy that your family enjoyed the residential area of Myrtle Beach's "Golden Mile" where hotels give way to beach homes. Nestled among palms and magnolias, this vintage cottage proves ideal for family & friends' getaways. Those valuing peace & quiet in a beach house of their own - this is it! Hope the Beach Blue Sea Cottage & Myrtle Beach become an annual tradition! :)
Everything was absolutely perfect! This is our second time staying here, and it won’t be our last! We loved every single moment!

Thank you for allowing others to catch a glimpse of what kind of stay they can expect. All the best & look forward to hosting you again!
This was the perfect little cottage to stay in to enjoy the beach and avoid the chaos of the more touristy areas. MB was very responsive to anything that we needed.

Thank you for your kind review, Kelly, and your family's care for the beautiful beach bungalow! We always try to emphasize to guests that we are here if they need us in any way. Their comfort is our priority. So happy that your family enjoyed the peaceful privacy offered here, one of only a handful of vintage, in-town, short-term rentals remaining at the end of Myrtle Beach's Golden Mile. Come back any time you're in the area!
Amazing host, super responsive. Great location, pet friendly, and well appointed with all the essentials for a family visit. The one consideration would be if you have guest with mobility issues. All entrances to the house require some steps. Not a full staircase- but 4-5 steps.

Thank you for that kind review of the Beach Blue Sea Cottage! Located only one block from the shore, this vintage home has survived and stood the test of time without being built on stilts. Its sturdy character and updated charm have delighted guests for years and we're delighted that it worked for your family so well! Hope to see you again.
The home and its location were perfect for our family vacation with some of our grown kids and grandbabies. It was clean and comfortable and the property owner was incredibly sweet - even dropping off a homemade cake for Father's Day! It was a wonderful experience.

Thank you, Caitlin, to you and your family for choosing the Beach Blue Sea Cottage for your Myrtle Beach vacation! We agree--location, location, location! This is the safest and most picturesque part of town, far from crowds and congestion, but close to everything a guest might want. The historic cottage has been welcoming guests for decades (and under our care in recent years with many renovations & upgrades), so we love to see families such as yours enjoy her unique charms. Not to mention that spring and fall are awesome seasons to visit-- best wishes!
That says it all, Rich! Thanks for spending the holidays with your family and fur-babies at the Beach Blue Sea Cottage--location makes all the difference! All the best & come back again.
The beach cottage truly feels like home away from home and just steps to the beach! Location is perfect and the cottage is clearances & comfortable with everything you need. Our little pup loves relaxing on the deck.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 31, 2023
Thank you, Nick - we aim for the approach of a boutique hotel vibe! We're here if anyone needs us, or if they want to be utterly left alone, that's good, too. It makes the one-of-a-kind vintage home stand out from the crowd. Management by companies can work, but they're not always around for the extra touches. We love hearing about multi-generational family vacations such as yours - all the best & come back soon!
About the host
Hosted by MB
Our family has enjoyed Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand for years. It's a privilege to share this home with others who will enjoy it just as much as we do! Whether your passion is beachcombing for shells and photos, playing golf or tennis, surfing, sailing, fishing, outlet shopping, relaxing together as a couple or family, or visiting historic Charleston, we know that you will love making the area your vacation destination.
Why they chose this property
This was a labor of love, one of the few weekly beach rentals IN Myrtle Beach dating from long ago and beautifully restored. If you believe in historic preservation and like an old-fashioned feel with upgraded amenities, come and give the Beach Blue Sea Cottage a chance to charm you! Perfect for writers and artists seeking some inspiration, for professionals who need to stay in touch via free Wi-Fi, for families on vacation, for ladies' get-aways or as part of a more relaxed golfing experience.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location. You are IN Myrtle Beach, yet still very private and peaceful. A charming, gem-like property that appeals to those who appreciate a one-of-a-kind home. Rustic and cute-! You will love the beach being just a two-minute walk, the fashion-forward yet casual feel of the home, the idea of having a scaled-down bocce ball court in a shady corner of the property and living on two levels where the kids or another couple can have a retreat of their own downstairs (while still above ground with windows & light!). The early morning sunlight and the afternoon breezes are spectacular, hear the birds sing, the openness of the living room and kitchen all combine to create wonderful family time, as well! With beach-themed art and special touches throughout the cottage you will never forget: you're steps from the ocean in the center of Myrtle Beach! (Downtown congested boardwalk area -- short, beautiful drive as you pass lovely oceanfront homes.) Deep lot, not a noisy area, no loud hallways or banging hotel room doors. Free Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, all sheets & towels provided, paper products, toiletries, beds made, dishwasher, flatscreen TVs and cable, outdoor shower to rinse off sand, inside games and outside beach equipment provided.... Free parking for up to three cars (no campers, boats, motorcycles, buses, more than 3 cars or vans or any vehicle larger than normal 6-8 passenger size--this is inside the city limits, one block from the beach). An adorable, in-town home, close to everything for beach-goers, shoppers, golfers, anyone who needs a peaceful getaway any time of year! This is where beautiful memories are made.
