About the property

Grande Dunes Villa Firenze — 4BR Condo with Private Elevator & Marina Views

Experience a top-tier Grande Dunes lifestyle in this exceptional Villa Firenze residence. Enter via a private elevator that opens into an elegant foyer of this second-floor, 4-bedroom, 3-bath condominium spanning approximately 3,003 finished square feet. The floorplan prioritizes gathering and view lines: the great room, dining area and gourmet kitchen flow together for effortless entertaining. The kitchen is appointed with granite counters, a work island, breakfast nook and high-end stainless appliances, while tile and luxury vinyl plank floors provide durable, stylish finishes throughout.

The primary suite is a true retreat — dual-vanity bath, soaking tub and a substantial tile shower, plus double French doors that open onto the balcony, extending the suite to outdoors. Multiple rooms access the oversized wraparound balcony (approximately 600 square feet) and screened lanai, giving sweeping vistas of the Nick Price-designed golf course and the deep-water marina. A built-in wet bar and thoughtful storage solutions reinforce the home’s entertainer-ready design.

Residence amenities include a private elevator, access to the Grande Dunes Ocean Club and the community’s championship golf, tennis and marina facilities. The building is inside a gated section of Grande Dunes, offering both privacy and resort-style living. Practical features such as insulated doors, fire sprinkler system and modern utility availability round out the offering.

Whether you’re seeking a refined primary residence, a coastal second home, or a high-end vacation-rental asset (confirm rental rules with association), this Villa Firenze unit is a rare, move-in-ready opportunity within one of Myrtle Beach’s most prestigious communities.

Editorial market perspective

Grande Dunes sits at the upper end of Myrtle Beach’s market — inventory is thinner than the broader Strand and buyers are drawn to amenity-rich, low-maintenance coastal homes. Median prices for the broader Myrtle Beach area are substantially lower than Grande Dunes luxury pricing; expect marketing to a regional and out-of-state buyer pool. Recent local trends show modest year-over-year appreciation, with luxury and resort product experiencing slower but steadier value retention due to limited supply and high amenity access. Given this unit’s size, private elevator, marina/golf views and ocean-club privileges, it competes in the higher tier of the market and is well-positioned for buyers prioritizing lifestyle over bargain pricing.
