Raised Beach House — 4BR/3BA Steps from the Ocean in Forest Dunes
This raised beach house on 67th Ave N is the rare Forest Dunes offering that combines immediate ocean access with thoughtful, lived-in character. Built in 1962 and expanded to 1,926 SF, the home sits on a generous 0.23-acre, level lot with 68 feet of frontage and is literally steps from the sand. Drive up Ocean Blvd in under a minute; return to rinse off in the outdoor shower before storing gear in the roomy garage and storage area beneath the elevated living quarters.
Inside, the current owners have custom-decorated the interior to embrace coastal living while keeping practical systems in place: central AC, multiple heating options (baseboard and forced air), a composition roof, and a working fireplace. The home’s four bedrooms and three baths provide flexibility for family living or short-term rental use, with bedrooms arranged to balance privacy and shared space. Under-house parking and storage accommodate beach equipment and multiple vehicles—an uncommon convenience in this part of Myrtle Beach.
What sets this property apart is location and lifestyle: Forest Dunes has preserved low-rise, residential character—no towering high-rises—so you enjoy ocean proximity without resort congestion. From this address you’re a short stroll to Ocean Blvd dining and local shops, 1 mile from Pine Lakes Country Club, and a few miles from the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Broadway at the Beach for entertainment and events.
For buyers seeking an entry to Myrtle Beach’s appreciating coastal market, this home marries investment potential with immediate use. The raised design addresses coastal considerations, and the under-house garage, storage, and outdoor shower make daily beach life effortless. Buyers should verify flood-zone designation, permits for previous renovations, and roof/structure condition during inspection, but the property presents a compelling mix of location, character, and upside in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Location
310 67th Ave N, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572
Forest Dunes is a cherished stretch of Myrtle Beach known for its low-rise, residential character and immediate ocean proximity. Streets here are lined with mature landscaping and single-family homes—a contrast to the high-rise development elsewhere on the Grand Strand. Residents enjoy easy access to Ocean Blvd dining and amenities, quick drives to the Boardwalk and Broadway at the Beach, and nearby golf at Pine Lakes Country Club. The neighborhood appeals to full-time residents and seasonal owners who value a quieter beach lifestyle while staying close to Myrtle Beach’s entertainment corridor.
Excellent shoreline access with the beach steps away, Pine Lakes Country Club (golf) about 1 mile, Myrtle Beach Boardwalk within 3 miles, and Myrtle Beach State Park ~6 miles for hiking and coastal nature.
A factual market snapshot around 310 67th Ave N.
The Forest Dunes pocket of Myrtle Beach is presently a market that leans toward sellers, driven by limited inventory and strong demand for beach-proximate homes. Local market metrics show roughly 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market around 35 days—conditions that favor well-priced coastal listings. Median area sale prices are reported near $600,000, but comparables and location premium for true beach-access homes push valuations higher; a sales-comparison approach here suggests a fair market range of $800,000–$900,000 for this property (midpoint $850,000).
Single-family homes in this corridor historically outperform general inventory because buyers prioritize proximity to the water and low-rise neighborhood character. Appreciation has been solid—approximately 25% over five years—and year-over-year movement is positive though modest (about 5%). Rental demand is strong seasonally; estimated monthly rent for comparable 4BR units is around $3,500, producing a gross rental yield near 4.9%. Given low months of supply and steady appreciation, now is an advantageous time for buyers seeking long-term value or a vacation rental income stream, though they should account for coastal maintenance and insurance costs in underwriting.
