500 Fairway Village Dr Unit 8E, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588

This top-floor studio in Island Green immediately stands out for its soaring vaulted ceilings and private balcony — a rare combination in an economical Myrtle Beach condo. At roughly 594 square feet, the layout feels larger than the numbers suggest, with newer vinyl plank flooring underfoot and an open living area that captures the breezy, coastal vibe of the community. The private balcony faces quiet landscaping and provides a small outdoor retreat after a day at the beach or on the green.

The functional, single-bath floorplan is an ideal match for a first-time buyer, seasonal homeowner, or investor. Mechanical systems include central heating and cooling; the building’s construction (1986, wood frame) gives the unit classic Mid-80s condominium bones that have been refreshed where it matters. Storage and ease of access are enhanced by this top-level position — no upstairs neighbors and an airy, uncluttered feel throughout.

Island Green’s amenities are a major part of the lifestyle: residents enjoy access to two community pools and adjacency to the neighborhood golf course. Surfside Beach is only about seven miles away and Murrells Inlet dining and marsh access sits roughly eight miles south — convenient drives whether you’re hunting for a day on the sand or waterfront restaurants. Practical details include one assigned parking space and public utilities; buyers should verify current HOA fees and rules as part of due diligence.

Market-savvy shoppers will note recent comparable sales inside the complex clustered between roughly $80,000 and $100,000, and a current valuation midpoint around $85,000. Rental comps in the building support short-term or long-term leasing potential (est. rent ~$900/month), making this unit appealing for investors looking for affordable inventory with steady local demand. Schedule a showing to experience the vaulted ceiling and balcony perspective in person — this is an accessible entry point to Myrtle Beach living and Island Green community life.

Island Green is a mature, golf-oriented community tucked a short drive from Myrtle Beach’s eastern shoreline. The neighborhood’s character is defined by its fairways, low-rise condo buildings, and resident-focused amenities like multiple pools. Daily life here blends quiet residential streets with easy access to coastal recreation: Surfside Beach is only minutes away for sun and surf, while Murrells Inlet offers seafood restaurants and marshland excursions. Commuting is straightforward via Hwy 31, and family buyers will appreciate assignment to St. James schools in the Horry County system.
