About this property

Oceanfront Escape-Peaceful, Pet-Friendly, and Steps to Nature Preserve

Welcome to your peaceful beach getaway—where the waves are your soundtrack and the views go on forever. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath oceanfront condo comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and offers direct access to one of the most private and natural stretches of beach on the South Carolina coast.

Located in the only section of Myrtle Beach with no high-rises or houses, this quiet, protected shoreline borders the 500-acre Meher Spiritual Center—a serene forest sanctuary that ensures the surrounding land stays untouched for centuries to come. To your left, forest and dunes. To your right, a short walk to Apache Pier with food, fishing, and fun.

Inside, the unit is well-loved, simple, and functional—with soft beachy touches and updates underway. It’s not a luxury remodel, but it has everything you need to unwind. There’s a king bed in the primary, a queen in the second bedroom, and two twin trundle beds in the third (plus a sleeper sofa in the living room). It’s ideal for families, dog owners, and anyone looking for a low-key beach break.

You’ll love:

Oceanfront views from two porches (one open, one screened)
Falling asleep to the sound of the waves
A truly quiet beach—perfect for long walks, shell collecting, and dogs who love to run
Two swimming pools (one heated)
Grilling stations with picnic tables
Easy access to Tanger Outlets, restaurants, and shops
Dog-friendly with pre-approval

This is the kind of place where time slows down. It's not flashy—but it's honest, beautiful, and full of heart. Come as you are, breathe deeper, and enjoy the simple magic of oceanfront living.

Great beach condo

We have stayed at this condo several times. It’s the best for beach location-private beach to stroll on. The condo is always neat and clean, there are 2 pools and it is very close to barefoot landing and Myrtle beach attractions. The owners are always pleasant to work with and we plan on staying here in the future!

Perfect Views

An incredible private beach with one of a kind views of the ocean!! This is our 4th year staying here, and it checks all the boxes for us!! We would like to see some updating of exterior balconies and furniture for open balcony, fixing of the door between balconies, as well as interior peeling of wallpaper and older dishwasher. Excellent communications with property manager!

Great location, some disappointments.

Great location, property was clean except some previous guest's pets must have had accidents and there was a strong smell of urine in the living room and bonus room. We were really looking forward to sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view but one balcony had railing that was falling apart and the door adjoining the two had to be wedged shut with chairs as it was broken. The chairs on the porch

Fall getaway

The unit that we stayed in was very nice and had a great view of the ocean and nature reserve. I was contacted prior to our trip and I was provided with many details of the property. I was disappointed with the pool - it was supposed to be heated but it was colder than the ocean. The beach area and property was nice. The one thing we did not like was that there was not much to walk to in the area besides the beach ( stores etc) But we loved that shopping and restaurants were very close ( driving distance)

Great view. Great location. Lots of minor issues that add up. Nothing major. Very outdated but still functional. Great layout of property. Could have been cleaner but was fine overall. Felt it was a lil pricey for all the deferred maintenance that is needed. Owner easy to work with. Would stay there again if traveling with dogs. Bring your knife sharpener if you plan on doing any cooking. Could use a quality skillet. Overall good stay.

Lands End Review

Except for the exceptional beach, this unit and for that matter the entire complex needs a complete renovation. The unit itself was furnished with outdated furniture, a lot of mirrors and in desperate need of new paint, appliances and lighting. The same could be said for the entire exterior of the complex. Everything needs cleaned, painted and brightened up. It really is dark and depressing just the opposite of what you would expect from a beach rental. We just expected much more and was very disappointed in the rental.

Dated and Dirty

The location of this property is fantastic! Unfortunately, that's the only thing it has going for it. The furniture and beds are very out of date and uncomfortable. The master bedroom mattress was very hard an uncomfortable, the bedroom with full bed had pee stains on mattress and it was worn out, and bedroom with futon bed was filthy under the bed and carpet was missing. The unit had a dehumidifier and air purifiers leading me to believe they had a moisture/mold issue in past. The balcony had a broken/loose railing causing a possible safety concern. Also, chair on balcony was broken, but covered by a cushion making it look useable. Coffee pot had mold and kitchen utensils were out of date and didn't work well. I would not recommend this unit and do not think it's worth the rental price we paid for a week.

Location, Location, Location

As stated above, you can’t beat this location and views of the Atlantic. Great beach, very clean and not very busy. Having the nature preserve next to the property gives you a great sense of escape from all the touristy areas to the North & South. This all being said, the condo itself is very dated and definitely could use updating. Very questionable elevators and the exterior areas could use updating as well. Overall, we had a great time and would love to return if the place is updated. We definitely thought the price was a little steep for the quality of the condo itself. Even after factoring in the location.

Enjoyed the location it was between Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing. Facility was clean.

Great location, beautiful ocean views and pet friendly. Other than the condo needing updating, it did the job. The condo has all the amenities of home. Be sure to turn on the dehumidifiers as soon as you get there.

Relaxing Location

While the property could use some updating it was very clean and provided plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 children. Kitchen was well stocked with all the things needed to cook meals. Host was wonderfully accommodating before arrival and during our stay to ensure our vacation was enjoyable. Proximity to the beach was great with young children and the pool was an added bonus.

Perfect for families

The property was as described and great communication before, during and after stay. I always cook most meals and found the kitchen adequately stocked. Great view from both balconies.. You can hear the surf from inside with the windows closed! Perfect for pets, our fur baby loved the beach and we were so happy not to leave her in jail. I can't think of a better place to be for our first trip since Covid started. The beach was never crowded. My kids are 11 and 15 and they thought it was great too with enough activities close. We felt safe, distanced, and relaxed. Glad we found this gem.

About the host

Hosted by Steve W. Schwartz

Host profile image
I’m a family medicine physician who had the joy of living in this oceanfront condo for many years. I’ve always loved the peace and beauty of this spot—morning runs by the water, fresh ocean air, and quiet evenings on the porch. It’s a place that brings me a lot of calm and joy, and I’m happy to now share it with others.

Why they chose this property

As a family medicine physician, I sought a tranquil retreat after demanding days at the clinic. This condo, nestled in the serene Lands End community of Myrtle Beach, provided the perfect sanctuary. The peaceful ambiance, complemented by the gentle sound of waves and the absence of high-rise developments, offered an unparalleled sense of relaxation.

What truly captivated me was the proximity to the 500-acre Meher Spiritual Center, a preserved forest ensuring the surrounding coastline remains untouched for generations. This unique setting allows for a harmonious blend of nature and comfort. Additionally, the condo's features, including a reverse osmosis water purification system and an advanced dehumidification setup, ensure a refreshing and health-conscious living environment.

Living here has been a rejuvenating experience, and I'm delighted to share this haven with guests seeking both relaxation and a touch of nature's splendor.

What makes this property unique

There are plenty of condos in Myrtle Beach—but this one offers something rare. Right out your back door is what feels like a private stretch of beach, bordered by a 500-acre nature preserve that has remained untouched for generations. To the left, you’ll find peaceful dunes, wide open shoreline, and a quiet, natural setting that’s unlike anything else in the area.

To the right, you’re just a short stroll from Apache Pier, where you’ll find a more typical beach scene with families, sunbathers, fishing, and a laid-back restaurant. Whether you're seeking solitude or activity, this location offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful retreat with easy access to fun.
