Live your Vacation

More than 19 million vacationers come to the Grand Strand every year to enjoy the wonderful area and the vast attractions. With 60 miles of natural beaches, one can see why it is a huge draw for tourists in the summer season. Thousands of restaurants, bustling shopping centers, and lushed oceanfront resorts offer a variety of options to suit everyone’s tastes and budgets.  There are over 90 golf courses that are open year-round, and the mild climate allows for them to be enjoyed almost 365 days of the year

Many of the local natives and transplants are more than willing to explain why they relocated or continued to reside here. Obviously, the weather and being near the beaches are the top 2 reasons. But locals also enjoy the lower cost of living, especially the decrease in taxes. During the offseason one can envelop the pleasing small town feel of the area. During tourist season, excitement levels soar with an increase of business, events, and attractions leading to a big city feel. One can easily get anywhere within Horry County in under 40 minutes, even though it is the largest in the state of South Carolina. This leads to convenient access to the beach, restaurants, shopping areas, and even the local farms for fresh produce. This area has become a magnet for families who want to raise their children among genuinely nice people and for retirees to enjoy fine weather and other amenities while not exhausting their budget.

Communities such as Carolina Forest, Burgess, and Briarcliff have seen expansive growth, and offer varied appeal.  There are several diverse communities, and one can easily find a strong sense of connection with at least one if not many of these. No matter what your desire is – oceanfront, river, suburban or farm – any of the well prepared Grand Strand area realtors would be happy to help you find your dream home. The friendly locals are always happy to welcome a new neighbor.
