About this property

BEGIN AT THE BEACH! OCEANFRONT 3BR BOUTIQUE CONDO IN PREMIERE LOCATION!

FRESHLY UPDATED FOR THE 2025 SEASON!

We are Duane and Catherine, and we are so glad you chose Begin at the Beach as your vacation home!

Find your dream home away from home here at Atlantic Dunes, which is one of the most well-kept buildings you will find in North Myrtle Beach! With only 22 units that are primarily owner-occupied, it is uniquely situated on a beautiful section of beach that is reserved for upscale low-rise condos and single-family homes. This means it is quieter, cleaner, and less crowded than most other areas, yet you are still walking distance (or a VERY short drive) from all of the action and excitement of Main Street and Ocean Drive Beach! Atlantic Dunes also has an elevator and luggage rack on site to make moving in and out a breeze!

This condo has a FANTASTIC open floor plan with STUNNING kitchen with custom granite countertops and tilework, stainless steel appliances, plentiful seating in the living and dining areas, and ocean views throughout the entire main living space!

It features a comfortable master suite with a full ocean view and ensuite bath that makes for the perfect retreat after a busy day at the beach! There is a second light-filled bedroom with queen bed and attached half bath, and a third bedroom with two twin beds, which is adjacent to the updated full bath in the hall. It also has a full-size washer and dryer- super convenient! And if you need to stay connected to work or school, you have access to high-speed wireless internet included!

Imagine waking up to a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean from the large wall of windows in the master bedroom! Make your way into the fully-equipped and stocked kitchen to fix your morning coffee and breakfast while watching the sunrise over the ocean!

You can enjoy the most important meal of the day at the breakfast bar or at the oversized dining table, but we like to sit outside on the beautiful balcony! Or, venture out to one of the many local family-owned pancake houses for some of the best pancakes you’ve ever tasted!

After breakfast, head downstairs and out to your "backyard"- THE BEACH!! No need to worry about forgetting something- after all, your condo is just footsteps away! Take a leisurely stroll or power walk on the beach; or bring your fishing pole, metal detector, or shelling basket to look for treasures!

But the beach isn't the only thing NMB has to offer! Hit the links at one of the many area golf courses, or putt to your heart's content at one of the many fun miniature golf courses! Shop till you drop at Barefoot Landing, Myrtle Beach Mall, or one of the TWO nearby Tanger Outlet Shopping Centers! And if you are into PICKLEBALL, there are both indoor and outdoor courts at the J. Bryan Floyd Center just a stone's throw away!

Come dinner time, you have a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, even pantry staples… practically everything you need to prepare and serve a home-cooked meal! Don’t feel like cooking? You will find plenty of chain restaurants as well as local eateries to choose from. Martini's is just a few minutes away, and hosts the best happy hour in town! Try a Calabash-style seafood buffet, or dine with a view at Molly Darcy's, Locals on the Water, or Boardwalk Billy's!

Of course, North Myrtle Beach is the Carolina Shag Dance capitol, so shaggers will love Fat Harold's and HOTO's! But if you'd rather just listen to the music, you can take in a LIVE show at the Alabama Theater, House of Blues, or brand new Legacy Theater!

At the end of your fun-filled day, fix yourself a drink at the mini bar and relax in the comfortable living room, or listen to the ocean waves on the balcony- it does not get any better than this!

There is just so much to love about Atlantic Dunes! But the best part is its location on one of the most desirable sections of North Myrtle Beach! You can WALK to some of the best restaurants and attractions! And you are within just a few miles of EVERYTHING North Myrtle has to offer! And with no high-rise mega-hotels in the vicinity, you will have plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean with all the comforts of home!

Last but not least, here are a few important HOUSE RULES:

As a guest of Atlantic Dunes you will have access to two parking spaces: one in the main parking area under the building, and one in the overflow lot across the street.
NO MOTORCYCLES, BOATS, RV's OR TRAILERS ARE ALLOWED AT ATLANTIC DUNES. This is an HOA rule, so please do not ask us to make an exception!

ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING, VAPING, OR ILLEGAL DRUG USE IN ANY PART OF THE CONDO BUILDING, INCLUDING THE BALCONY, HALLWAYS AND POOL AREA!! Evidence of violation of this rule will result in a $500 fine.

Quiet hours are from 11:00PM-8:00AM.

Clean, well-stocked condo. Hosts seem to have thought of everything and were attentive when needed. Loved the balcony, ocean view, and the pool. We enjoy a quiet, less touristy area to vacation and this was perfect! We're already talking about going back next year!

Wonderful location with a beautiful view. The beach in front of the condo is open with lots of room on the beach to play or relax in somewhat privacy. Beach to the South and North were crowded making this find a nice surprise. The condo is clean and the view breathtaking. Very quiet area and quiet condo.

Absolutely loved this place. Everything was wonderful. Great location to everything. Absolutely fantastic for family. One of the busiest weeks of the year for vacation (July 4th) our part of the beach was never crowded. Thank you so much for letting us use your wonderful condo we will be back.

Beautiful Oceanfront Escape

This is a great property and exactly as described. The sunlight floods the main living area and the view of the ocean is just perfect, even from the kitchen. The unit and the building overall are very quiet, but close to anything you may need. The beach is gorgeous and just steps away so it is extremely convenient. I highly recommend this condo. The owners went above expectations to make us feel at home.

So easy to navigate this property. The parking is under the building and out front. Overflow is right across the street. Has elevator with cart for your bags.

Winter rental

This was our 2nd. year at this property and we love this place. We were planning on staying for 8 weeks. After our first week there was loud construction during the weekdays. We needed to vacate the building during the day due to jackhammering of the concrete balconies. Duane, our host, was extremely helpful in trying to relocate us. He was unaware of the extent of construction. We left 3 weeks early. Duane worked with VRBO and processed a refund for the remaining days with no fee for early termination. This was an unfortunate situation for both of us. Thank you Duane for your graciousness.

I’m hesitant to share our experience because I’m worried that if everyone knows just how perfect this condo and its location are, it will be booked the next time we want to come back. We visited for a family vacation and a softball tournament, and we usually stay at a friend’s house, which has since been sold. This was our first time renting a place we knew nothing about, and it did not disappoint at all. The condo is spacious, beautiful, and clean. All the beds are very comfortable, and it has everything you need. The location is perfect. I didn't have many questions, but when I did reach out to the owners, they were prompt in responding. The check-in and check-out process was as simple as it could be. Our daughter is 10, so she has many years of traveling for softball ahead of her, with several tournaments held in Myrtle Beach throughout the year. This will definitely be the first place I hope to book for those trips.

Why they chose this property

We spent over a year searching for the perfect beach getaway in North Myrtle Beach, and finally found Atlantic Dunes! It had everything looking we were looking for: a bright, airy 3-bedroom beachfront condo with quality finishes, updated kitchen and baths, beautiful outdoor pool, and spectacular ocean views- all in a VERY well-maintained, low-rise building in an ideal location!
