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.

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.

Beach Week
Our stay was off with a rocky start as my daughter got stuck in the elevator when it ceased to open while unloading to begin our stay. Fire and Rescue rescued her after a harrowing 30 minutes of anxiety in the elevator. Whew! But from that point on,, the stay was great. Comfortable lodging, beautiful oceanfront views, access to many attractions…. It was wonderful

My sister and I had a wonderful time at this ocean front condo. The view was spectacular, especially the morning sunrises. The condo was well furnished and clean. We had to leave 2 weeks earlier than expected due to a family medical emergency. Duane, our host, was understanding and very accommodating. Thank you Duane. We hope to return next winter.

Saltwater Gospel at the Boutique
Our stay was fabulous! My sister needed to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally after a three year battle with cancer surgeries. The Boutique was the perfect place to do it. Duane was extremely helpful by working with the management group to get the house ready early enough that we could check in upon our arrival to all my sister to lay down after the day long trip. The view was perfect, the layout of the boutique was perfect and so was the noise level (no neighbor noise). The easy trek to the beach allowed for multiple visits daily for some saltwater gospel and chats. The boutique put us close to stores and restaurants which allowed us more time resting, playing dice and sitting on the perfect balcony to listen and watch the ocean waves as they came rolling in. Will I stay there again….absolutely YES!! PS…for all renters…do your part of leaving your place the way you want it to be when you arrive. It’s part of the magical experience for the next guests.

We (4 adults and 2 children: 4 and 6), had a very nice time at this beach front property. It's an easy walk to the beach, and the pool is nice also. The location is very handy to N Myrtle Beach activities, especially Barefoot Landing, a "must visit". This property has all the essentials that are needed for a successful vacation.
