704 43rd Ave. S

Tucked inside the beloved Ocean Woods community, this is the kind of place people come to North Myrtle Beach hoping to find---but rarely do. Just a short stroll or golf cart ride to the sandy shoreline in the Windy Hill section, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath patio home feels like your own private coastal retreat, where mornings start with salty air and evenings end with ocean breezes. Step inside and you'll immediately notice how light and welcoming the space feels. The family room invites you to relax after a day at the beach, while the kitchen---updated with granite countertops and brand-new appliances in 2023---makes everything from quick breakfasts to laid-back dinners feel effortless. The first-floor primary suite adds everyday convenience, giving you a quiet place to unwind without ever needing to head upstairs. Upstairs, two spacious guest bedrooms offer plenty of room for friends and family, complete with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, walk-in closets, and extra attic storage---so you'll never feel short on space. What really sets this home apart is how beautifully it blends indoor and outdoor living. Picture yourself sipping coffee or winding down with a drink on the Trex balcony overlooking the pool, or hosting friends in your private enclosed patio surrounded by lush landscaping and thoughtfully designed outdoor space. It's easy to imagine making memories here. You'll also appreciate the peace of mind that comes with thoughtful updates like new windows (2019), ceiling fans in the main living areas and primary bedroom, and removable hurricane shutters. And when you're ready to explore, you're just minutes from Barefoot Landing---home to great restaurants, shopping, and local favorites like the House of Blues and Alabama Theatre. An added feature: Ocean Woods allows long-term rentals only, helping preserve the peaceful, residential feel of the community. With low HOA fees and a location that's hard to beat, this home offers that rare combination of comfort, convenience, and true coastal charm. If you've been waiting for the right beach place to come along... this might be it.
