CHARMING, PRIVATE HOME/1 Block - Beach!/UPSCALE AREA/ Pets-! Nov-Dec Open - 2 Mo
The Beach Blue Sea Cottage — A Vintage Myrtle Beach Cottage Steps from the Ocean
Make memories here all year long!
Welcome to The Beach Blue Sea Cottage, a distinctive vintage beach home where history, privacy, and modern comforts come together just one block from the ocean. This is a private, entire single-family home—not a condo, apartment, upstairs/downstairs unit, or shared property—with its own peaceful outdoor spaces, parking, lush landscaping, bocce ball court, and mini putting green. No remote garage parking, no loud neighbors, no early-morning maids.
The charming cottage is tucked among magnolia and palm trees, just off N. Ocean Boulevard near the cabana section at the end of Myrtle Beach's Golden Mile, where the beachfront homes give way to the larger hotel area. The ocean is approximately a two-minute walk away, so there is no need to spend your vacation searching for paid parking or driving to the shore.
And this is a rare find: the cottage is one of only a small number of grandfathered single-family homes within the Myrtle Beach city limits that are permitted to operate as short-term rentals. You get the space and privacy of a real beach house while being wonderfully close to the ocean, golf, shopping, dining, and attractions.
A Little Piece of Myrtle Beach History
This lovingly renovated cottage was among Myrtle Beach's early beach rentals and has been restored for modern living while retaining its vintage personality. Over the years, guests even left handwritten recipes behind for future visitors. Feel free to add one of your own!
There is just enough quirkiness to make you smile—a little like the beach-house version of the summer camp cabin you always wished you had, but with the conveniences you expect today. Coastal quilts, artwork and décor give the cottage a relaxed character that feels more personal than a typical vacation rental. Think New England fishing village meets Key West, with a generous helping of captivating Southern charm.
Your Own Private Beach House
The approximately 1,500-square-foot cottage offers three bedrooms plus a den with a fold-out futon, two full bathrooms, an open-concept living/dining/kitchen area, and outdoor gathering spaces.
The home has two levels connected by a very gradual incline and is surrounded by mature landscaping, including palms, magnolias, roses, and cacti. There are no shared walls and no extremely close neighbors, making this a particularly peaceful setting for relaxing, reconnecting, reading, working, watching movies, playing games, or simply listening to the birds.
Enjoy your morning coffee at the front-deck bistro table, relax in the shady back patio area, or head down to the beach for a sunrise or sunset. The neighborhood is lovely for walking, jogging and bicycling, and small parks are within a block, including a beachside children's pirate ship playground, exercise areas, and places to walk the dog. It's the best part of town!
On the property, guests can enjoy bocce ball and a mini putting green. Beach equipment—including a beach umbrella, beach chairs, beach towels, body boards, and a utility wagon—is provided for your use.
Sleeping Arrangements
The adorable cottage is best suited for 2–6 adults, with a maximum of 8 guests including children, depending on sleeping arrangements.
Upstairs/main living level:
Bedroom 1 — queen bed Bedroom 2 — queen bed Full bathroom with shower Living room with double fold-out sofa Open-concept living, dining and kitchen area
Downstairs:
Bedroom 3 — two double beds Den/bonus sleeping room — single fold-out futon, best suited to a child or guest under approximately 5'7" Full bathroom with shower Laundry room with washer and dryer Two roll-away twin beds and two low twin trundle beds are available from the downstairs bedroom closet. These can provide additional sleeping options, although using all of them at once would make the room quite tight. Ceiling fans are provided in the bedrooms, along with air conditioning and heat throughout the home.
Everything You Need for a Comfortable Stay
The cottage includes:
Strong Wi-Fi Flat-screen TVs in the upstairs living room and downstairs den Cable and DVD player Fully equipped kitchen Stove/oven Refrigerator/freezer Dishwasher Microwave Drip coffeemaker and Keurig Teapot and blender Pots, pans, dishes, cups and silverware Starter paper products, including paper towels and napkins Bed linens, with beds made for your arrival Bath towels and beach towels Shampoo and body wash, starter toilet paper Hairdryers Iron Washer and dryer Ceiling fans Outdoor/beachside shower Simple gas grill & charcoal grill Beach umbrella, chairs, body boards and utility wagon—wow! Books, puzzles, board games and outdoor games Parking is available on-site for up to three regular-sized vehicles or medium-sized SUVs.
Beach, Golf, Shopping & Things to Do
The ocean is close enough to walk to—one block away! Golf, shopping, restaurants and Myrtle Beach attractions are an easy drive of about 10 minutes.
Nearby activities include golf courses and driving ranges, outlet shopping, Aquarium, SkyWheel, gardens, music dinner theaters, zip lines, parasailing, ropes courses, climbing walls and trampolines. The cottage is also around the corner from Pine Lakes International Country Club, Myrtle Beach's first golf course.
For a change of scenery, historic Charleston makes a wonderful day trip.
Of course, you may decide that your favorite activity is simply walking the beach, collecting sea shells, reading on the patio, playing bocce, putting on the mini green, grilling dinner, enjoying a movie, or watching the neighborhood go by.
Families, Fur-Babies & Longer Stays Welcome
The cottage welcomes well-behaved families or friends and up to two calm dogs, with children and pets fully supervised. Dogs may not be left alone in the cottage unless comfortably crated. All residents, both two-legged and four-legged, must be included in the rental agreement.
The cottage is also a favorite type of getaway for couples, families, grandparents, golfers, shoppers, ladies' getaways, anniversary and birthday trips, telecommuters, writers, artists, musicians, graduates, retirees and snowbirds.
Short- and long-term stays are available, including month-long winter rentals. Spring and fall can be especially lovely at the beach.
A Few Important House Rules
The Beach Blue Sea Cottage is a vintage home to be enjoyed and treated with care. It is not suitable for parties, events or large groups.
Please note:
Principal renter must be 24 or older. Principal renter must remain on the premises during the rental. No parties, special events or large groups. No smoking. No fireworks. No motorcycles, RVs, trailers or boats. Children and pets must be monitored. Please do not place wet or sandy bathing suits on upholstered furniture. Pet fees and the complete pet requirements are provided in the Pet Addendum. Please review the Rental Rules and Pet Addendum before booking; they contain the complete requirements for your stay.
Thoughtfully Prepared for Your Arrival
We intentionally leave one full day between guests rather than scheduling a same-day turnover. This allows the cottage to be thoroughly prepared between stays, less germs, and gives us time to make sure everything is ready for the next guests.
Keyless entry makes arrival simple—no reception desk, no long check-in line, and no remote hotel parking. Your private beach cottage is ready when you arrive.
Come Make Your Own Memories
The Beach Blue Sea Cottage is not a cookie-cutter vacation rental. It is a one-of-a-kind vintage beach home, surrounded by palms and magnolias and just a short stroll from the ocean.
It is peaceful without being isolated, charming without giving up modern conveniences, and close to everything while still feeling like your own little corner of the beach.
Come for four days, a week, a month—or return year after year!
We'd love to welcome you to the charming Beach Blue Sea Cottage—you’ll enjoy this gem, designed to create wonderful memories of your own—in a peaceful and private location near the sea....

The Beach Blue cottage was perfect for our family, so cozy & inviting. The host was so kind & when I say they had everything we needed,they really did. The cottage had beach toys,umbrellas & a wagon. The outdoor shower was my favorite & reminded me of growing up in Florida. The beach is right across the street & the neighborhood is quiet. We had the best time & will definitely come back.Highly highly recommend.

The people who get it, get it! Thanks for that top review, Jeff & family. There's nothing like a vintage home for renewing childhood memories for those who enjoyed such a getaway in their youth, as well as creating new connections for the next gen! As owners, this makes us so happy to hear the great vacation reports and what worked in this charming cottage/boutique hotel wannabe! Look forward to hosting you again....

We love when several generations of a family can enjoy the Beach Blue Sea Cottage! Thank you for that wonderful, 5-star review, Barbara - we try to do everything in our power to make it a positive stay for our special guests. Come and plan another getaway any time of year - best wishes!
We were very happy with the cottage. It was older but very clean and plenty of room. A 2 minute walk to the beach and they provided a beach cart full of everything you need, Not to mention the snacks waiting for you upon arrival. We were able to bring our dog and there was a park across the street for him to use. The owner was awesome and super easy to work with. We would be blessed to go back. Thank you MB and Frank!

Thank you for that special testimonial, Lee! So glad that you enjoyed the vintage vibe - a unique and captivating beach cottage. It's one of the very few in-town, single family rentals which accepts dogs. We try to think of the amenities that will help our guests feel comfortable and enjoy their time in beautiful Myrtle Beach. Thanks for choosing the Beach Blue Sea Cottage & hope to see you again!
The Beach Blue Sea Cottage was a great location for my month at Myrtle Beach! The hosts are outstanding and responded quickly to any questions I had. I was able to bring my dog with me, and it worked out great. The house is quiet and safe -- a 3 minute walk to the beach in a very residential and safe area. The house was clean and had the necessary items for a successful visit. I would highly recommend for a quiet beach vacation!

Thank you, Judi, for that vote of confidence! We always appreciate working together with our dear guests and accommodating their needs and desires to the best of our ability. It's wonderful that you found the home so spacious and were able to experience the very rare winter wonderland during the normally-warm and temperate January and February months. Wishing you all the best!
We were in town for our son’s baseball team and this location was perfect for getting to the Ripken experience. MB was an amazing host and went out of her way to make us feel at home. There was a welcome basket of goodies for us and she even came by later in the week with a sweet treat. The house is right by the beach, great grocery stores, and other attractions. We would definitely book here again if we’re back in Myrtle Beach!

Extremely spacious and comfortable place in an odd little spot across the street from a very nice, uncrowded beach a little ways away from the main boardwalk. It was perfect for me and my three kids!

So happy that your family enjoyed the residential area of Myrtle Beach's "Golden Mile" where hotels give way to beach homes. Nestled among palms and magnolias, this vintage cottage proves ideal for family & friends' getaways. Those valuing peace & quiet in a beach house of their own - this is it! Hope the Beach Blue Sea Cottage & Myrtle Beach become an annual tradition! :)
This was the perfect little cottage to stay in to enjoy the beach and avoid the chaos of the more touristy areas. MB was very responsive to anything that we needed.

So happy that your family enjoyed the peaceful privacy offered here, one of only a handful of vintage, in-town, short-term rentals remaining at the end of Myrtle Beach's Golden Mile. Come back any time you're in the area!
Great location, and a lot of space for family fun in privacy!

About the host
Hosted by MB
Our family has enjoyed Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand for years. It's a privilege to share this home with others who will enjoy it just as much as we do! Whether your passion is beachcombing for shells and photos, playing golf or tennis, surfing, sailing, fishing, outlet shopping, relaxing together as a couple or family, or visiting historic Charleston, we know that you will love making the area your vacation destination.
Why they chose this property
This was a labor of love, one of the few weekly beach rentals IN Myrtle Beach dating from long ago and beautifully restored. If you believe in historic preservation and like an old-fashioned feel with upgraded amenities, come and give the Beach Blue Sea Cottage a chance to charm you! Perfect for writers and artists seeking some inspiration, for professionals who need to stay in touch via free Wi-Fi, for families on vacation, for ladies' get-aways or as part of a more relaxed golfing experience.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location. You are IN Myrtle Beach, yet still very private and peaceful. A charming, gem-like property that appeals to those who appreciate a one-of-a-kind home. Rustic and cute-! You will love the beach being just a two-minute walk, the fashion-forward yet casual feel of the home, the idea of having a scaled-down bocce ball court in a shady corner of the property and living on two levels where the kids or another couple can have a retreat of their own downstairs (while still above ground with windows & light!). The early morning sunlight and the afternoon breezes are spectacular, hear the birds sing, the openness of the living room and kitchen all combine to create wonderful family time, as well! With beach-themed art and special touches throughout the cottage you will never forget: you're steps from the ocean in the center of Myrtle Beach! (Downtown congested boardwalk area -- short, beautiful drive as you pass lovely oceanfront homes.) Deep lot, not a noisy area, no loud hallways or banging hotel room doors. Free Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, all sheets & towels provided, paper products, toiletries, beds made, dishwasher, flatscreen TVs and cable, outdoor shower to rinse off sand, inside games and outside beach equipment provided.... Free parking for up to three cars (no campers, boats, motorcycles, buses, more than 3 cars or vans or any vehicle larger than normal 6-8 passenger size--this is inside the city limits, one block from the beach). An adorable, in-town home, close to everything for beach-goers, shoppers, golfers, anyone who needs a peaceful getaway any time of year! This is where beautiful memories are made.
