Vacation rental homes are selling for millions in North Myrtle Beach.

As of May, 743 homes have been sold in the city, according to RedFin. But, while the median sale price of a home in North Myrtle Beach has decreased to $376,008 — an 8.3% downward trend from last year — beautiful million-dollar-homes are still selling this year. Some are ocean view, some have pools, most are rentals.

This red-roofed house paired with a pool and hot tub sold on June 9 for over $1.4 million. The ocean-view rental has an extensive history, with the property being listed for sale in 2018 for $899,900. It was first sold in 2019 for $820,000, just to be listed for sale again a day later for $849,900. The listing was removed after a few days, and then reappeared on March 24 for $1.57 million, an 85.3% increase in value.

The price of this year’s purchase decreased by 7.9% from the March listing.

The 10-bedroom, six-bathroom home was sold fully furnished, with beach-themed wall colors like sandy yellow and baby blue. According to the listing, it can act either as a single-family residence or a duplex, where either floor can be rented out. Each floor also has its own thermostat.

Along with an open floor plan and game room on the first floor, the home contains an outdoor pool, hot tub, horseshoe pit and grilling area. The listing emphasizes the home’s location on a corner lot because it accommodates guest parking.

4. 1308 Springland Lane, $1.46 million

The home on 1308 Springland Ln. sold for $1,460,000. The custom-built home is the only home on the list not to act as a rental. It’s known for its circular driveway.

As the only non-rental, this Tilghman Estates home is in walking distance from the beach, and overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway. The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home sold on April 11 for $10,000 more than the last entry on the list.

The home surrounded by palm trees contains cherry hardwood floors, a massive walk-in closet — at 11 by 15 feet — a built-in entertainment system and a laundry room with a lake view.

The home was custom-built and first sold in 2004 for just $315,000. After seven years of love, a listing was posted for $949,000. In 2013, the home sold for $810,000.

The home’s most notable feature is its circular driveway lined with brick, as well as a brick staircase leading to a set of red doors with tall circular mirrors. The brick-red features of the house are also prominent inside the house, its decorations and even some of its walls.

Just down the road from the No. 5 home on this list, sits another ocean-view vacation rental. The whopping 14-bedroom, 10-bathroom house has been sold many times since it was built in 2002. Within its first year, the home sold for $942,450, which was a 277% increase from the home’s first selling price of $250,000.

The Jan. 5 purchase was the first time the home sold for over $1 million.

The home is nicknamed “Captain’s Palace,” and is being rented out by Elliot Realty Luxury Rentals.

It’s no surprise the most expensive entry on the list is an oceanfront rental home, as oceanfront properties tend to cost more than their ocean view or inland counterparts due to the appeal of being right on the water.

This eight-bedroom-four-bathroom home sold on Feb. 27. The property first sold in 2018 for $393,250 and then sold this year at a 739.2% increase in price.

While the online listing doesn’t contain photos of the inside nor a detailed description of the amenities and features, the listing does describe the home as a single family home. Elliot Realty Luxury Rentals is currently renting out this home.
