118 8th Ave. S

118 8th Avenue S is located just ~524 feet from the beach. This raised-beach single-family home offers a rare blend of flexibility and coastal walkability—well-suited for full-time living, second-home use, or short-term rental ownership. The property features two primary suites, a private pool, R3 zoning (short-term rentals permitted), and no HOA, all within the Town of Surfside Beach. Offering approximately 2,025 heated square feet, the home includes 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across a thoughtfully designed two-level layout that balances everyday livability with guest privacy. A main-level primary suite supports comfortable primary or second-home use, while the upstairs primary suite features direct access to a private covered balcony with an ocean view, a premium amenity for owners and guests alike. The main living level features 9-foot ceilings and an open living and dining area with abundant natural light, flowing directly to a covered porch for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen opens to the main living space and features Silestone countertops, slate-finished stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and ceramic tile and engineered bamboo flooring. The home conveys unfurnished, allowing buyers to tailor furnishings and design to their preferred lifestyle or rental strategy. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space, while additional bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged to accommodate family or guests while maintaining privacy comfortably. Outdoor amenities include a walk-in private pool with recent upgrades, including a heater/cooler, resurfacing, and new lighting, extending usability beyond peak season. A fenced yard with artificial turf, covered ground-level seating areas, and an outdoor shower create a low-maintenance, beach-friendly environment. Elevated construction provides under-house parking, a dedicated golf-cart garage, and generous storage for beach gear, bikes, and owner use. Significant capital improvements completed since March 2021 include a full exterior renovation with HardiPlank siding and trim, roof replacement, Carrier HVAC system, window and gutter updates, porch improvements, and multiple pool system upgrades—delivering predictable ownership with reduced near-term capital exposure. The home provides walkable or golf-cart access to Surfside Pier, the entertainment district, grocery stores, restaurants, parks, tennis and bocce courts, the library, and the seasonal farmers market. Myrtle Beach is approximately 20 minutes away, with Charleston and Wilmington each within two hours. Be sure to view the walking tour and immersive Matterport 3D Virtual Tour: www.bit.ly/1188thAveS
