It goes without saying that the greatest Myrtle Beach vacation homes are right by the ocean, but even so, this condo manages to stand out with its spectacular water views.
There are enough sprinkles of decor to keep the interior interesting, while the furniture is predominantly white to match the beachy ambiance. The bedroom features two cozy double beds, and the combined kitchen & living area is incredibly charming. Even if you’re visiting in the winter, when swimming in the ocean isn’t exactly recommended, you can take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool.
The condo is tucked away in a strategic spot, close to many of the city’s attractions and eateries but removed from the hubbub of the main tourist spots in MB.
Why We Love It: Eye-catching condo with a great pool and a spectacular ocean view.
The sheer number of features and creative touches in this Myrtle Beach Airbnb is impressive by any rental’s standards, but this one doubles down on its quality with its extremely generous price.
The interior is incredibly spacious, and it sports a beige-and-blue color scheme that’ll make you feel like you’re out at sea… Just look at how eye-popping those kitchen counters are! Besides the obligatory bedroom, which features a single queen bed, the house features everything from a barbecue grill to a swing for the kiddies.
Windy Hills Beach is one of the definitive places to stay in town – you can get to the ocean and a lovely park in only a couple of minutes.
Why We Love It: Affordable getaway right by one of the city’s finest beaches
This vacation home in Myrtle Beach is the place to be if you want to vacation in South Carolina with your partner and up to 2 children.
Instead of beating you over the head with gimmicky design choices, this guesthouse does exactly what it’s supposed to – it provides you with a nice kitchen, a king bed and bunk beds, and a comfortable living area. In addition to all that, a quick and easy way to warm your heart is to unwind by the backyard pond and just gush over the waddling ducklings.
Adding to all that, staying in Cherry Grove is extremely convenient, given that the Coastal North Shopping Center and North Myrtle Beach Park are only 5 minutes away.
Why We Love It: Cozy rental close to everything you could possibly need.
The fact that this Myrtle Beach vacation home is so affordable is baffling on all counts, but that’s all the more reason to book it!
You could argue that if you’ve seen one fancy beach house, you’ve seen them all, but it’s rare that you stumble across an interior this elegant. On top of the abundance of space, you get an amazing-looking living area, a fully-stocked kitchen, and two of the most beautiful bedrooms the city has to offer. Also, did we mention the outdoor swimming pool and golf course?
As for the location, you’ll be in the center of Myrtle Beach, meaning you can take your pick of countless beach strips in the general area.
Why We Love It: Gorgeous condo with a great location and amazing amenities.
A lot of the standout vacation homes in Myrtle Beach are on a golf course, as is the case for this spectacular rental.
Combining lavish furniture, top-of-the-line appliances, and beautiful decorations, every single room was designed to make you feel welcome. Be sure to take full advantage of the amazing kitchen before setting out to do some golfing, then put the kids to sleep in their very own room before relaxing in that unbelievable king bed.
The beach is only 5 miles from the golf course, and for all your shopping and entertainment needs, the Broadway at the Beach should be your go-to place.
Why We Love It: Amazing-looking condo that can accommodate up to 6 people at a fair price.
One of the main reasons to vacation by the ocean is to bask in the sun, and this Myrtle Beach vacation rental is nothing if not sunny.
For starters, both of the bedrooms open up to balconies with some truly outstanding views, and the brightness of the living area (and the kitchen too, for that matter!) is especially pronounced thanks to the abundance of open space and sleek, wooden flooring. In addition, you and up to 3 guests can enjoy yourselves in the outdoor seating area or by the swimming pool.
You can drive or walk to the beach from here in a matter of minutes, and given the central location, you can expect to find countless great restaurants in the neighborhood too.
Why We Love It: Cushy rental with amazing connectivity to all things central.
This Myrtle Beach vacation home is part of a gorgeous condo complex that’s bound to make your vacation unforgettable.
Any interior that has so much going on without feeling crammed is a winner in our book. The colorful living and kitchen area is one of the best in town, and the 3 elegant bedrooms can sleep a total of 8 guests. The condo alone is enough to win you over, but for something really special, feast your eyes on the fitness area, tennis court, and 6 community pools!
The condo is situated in North Myrtle Beach, and it’s surrounded by beautiful little lakes from all sides. As great as the location is, however, we wouldn’t blame you if you never left the complex at all!
Why We Love It: Stunning condominium with countless communal amenities.
We wouldn’t want you to miss home while you’re out on vacation, so we recommend this inviting Airbnb in Myrtle Beach if you’re looking for something fresh, yet familiar.
This house doesn’t go out of its way to woo you with over-the-top features and decorations – instead, you’ll have a solid kitchen, 3 cozy bedrooms (for a total of up to 8 guests), and a living room that’s bound to remind you of your humble abode.
If you’re worried about noise pollution knocking your holiday down a few pegs, you’ll be delighted to know the house is in a quiet neighborhood that spares you of the boisterousness that Central MB is known for.
Why We Love It: Inviting house with a central location that still manages to keep things peaceful.
It’s important to plan your vacation around your kids, and this vacation home in Myrtle Beach puts the youngsters first.
As far as the interior goes, you’ll get a single bedroom, a charming living area, and a fairly spacious kitchen out of the deal. The real meat and potatoes of this rental, though, is the rest of the resort – you’ll have access to a whopping 6 pools and 7 hot tubs, not to mention the waterslides and waterparks for the youngest members of your family.
What few things you can’t find on-site, you’ll be able to reach by taking a drive to the center of town, which is right around the corner.
Why We Love It: Alluring condo with plenty of entertainment options for children.

Type: Entire Home (1BR, 1B)
Location: Golden Mile
Superhost: Yes
Price: $$
The best thing a beachside rental can do for you is put you in the mood for a day out by the water, and this Myrtle Beach vacation home does exactly that.
Everything about this condo was taken from the beach resort handbook, from the spacious, ocean-facing balcony to the airy, colorful interior. What’s more, the two double beds are extremely comfortable, and the kitchen is much sleeker than what you’d usually get at this price. Add to that a jacuzzi, several swimming pools, a gym, and even an arcade, and you’re left with a very easy sell!
The Golden Mile is made up of nothing but white sand and beach houses, so you’ll be conveniently close to the main draws of the city without the urban racket factor.
Why We Love It: Stylish condo in one of the most scenic parts of the city.
This vacation home in Myrtle Beach feels less like a place to stay and more like somewhere you’d live if you were native to the city.
The condo looks incredibly chic thanks to the touches of red, a daring alternative to the shades of blue that usually define oceanfront apartments. The kitchen appliances are all brand-new, the king bed is beyond comfortable, and if you happen to be visiting out-of-season, you’ll even have a fireplace in the living area.
Myrtle Beach stays don’t get much more central than this either. The city’s best restaurants, shopping centers, and the iconic Boardwalk are all in the immediate area.
Why We Love It: Incredible condo in the heart of the city.
Up next is a Myrtle Beach vacation home that rocks the ever-so-desirable combination of vintage and modern.
The predominantly yellow interior feels borderline gilded thanks to the earth tones of the furniture, and nowhere is this more striking than in the kitchen and living area. The condo has enough beds to accommodate 16 people, and the game room and communal swimming pool & jacuzzi certainly add to the experience!
The cherry on top here is the location… Who needs a front lawn when your building is literally right in front of the ocean?
Why We Love It: Lavish apartment that can house well over a dozen people.
Nothing will make you crave the ocean more than an interior that matches its sandy beaches, which is this Myrtle Beach vacation home’s claim to fame.
Every part of this condo, from the fashionable kitchen to the 4 bedrooms, falls somewhere between yellow and brown on the color spectrum, a seldom-utilized but objectively gorgeous color palette. For a change of scenery, all you have to do is step out onto the balcony and marvel at the seemingly endless ocean, which is only a hop and a skip away.
Whatever city you’re visiting, downtown is generally a great place to stay, and Myrtle Beach is no exception – there’s no major attraction that you won’t be able to reach on foot.
Why We Love It: Aesthetically pleasing rental right by the ocean.
It feels borderline unfair to compare this Myrtle Beach vacation home to almost anything else in the city… If you can get past the price, you can’t do much better than this.
The little walkway leading into the house feels genuinely tropical, and this theme carries over to the interior thanks to all the house plants. As a whole, epithets do this place no justice, as the living/dining area, modern kitchen, and 4 bedrooms are stunning beyond words. Also, when was the last time you stayed in a house with 4 bathrooms?
The house could have left it at that, but it solidifies its position as one of MB’s best rentals with a location right in the center of the city.
Why We Love It: Breathtaking house literal minutes from the beach.
“Zen” might not be the first word that comes to mind when describing this city, but this Myrtle Beach vacation home is the fantasy home to end all fantasy homes.
If relaxing in a hanging nest chair and listening to the crashing of waves sounds like your type of deal, don’t think twice about booking this place. Whether you’re napping in the heavenly bedroom or preparing a meal in the amazing kitchen, you’d best believe those white walls and furniture will put you at ease. You can even bring your dog, but good luck getting it to leave afterward!
Even when it comes to the location, this place hits the nail on the head, as the Skywheel, Broadway at the Beach, and every other attraction Myrtle Beach has to offer are only a short distance away.
Why We Love It: Serene, soothing condo that’ll make you forget about your phone for a few days.
As amazing as sunbathing in Myrtle Beach is, you’ll definitely want to shake things up with some fun activities. We recommend the following Airbnb experiences:
Rejuvenating Wim Hof spa experience – What better place to have a spiritual experience than in or by the ocean? At the cost of only a fraction of your daily budget, you can join a group Wim Hof exercise session, followed by a visit to a sauna and a swim with all your new friends.
Tropical Couples/Family Photo Shoot – Whether you’re visiting Myrtle Beach with that special someone or your group of closest friends, you likely won’t have the time to see everything within the span of a week or two. If you want to put together a holiday scrapbook and see some places that might have slipped under your radar, consider doing this photoshoot, which doubles as a crash course on all things MB.
