🏡 Reunion villas in Myrtle Beach
Few beaches stretch a reunion budget like the Grand Strand, and the big oceanfront houses cluster north of the city in North Myrtle Beach. Its four historic sections - Cherry Grove Beach, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill - are where you find six- and seven-bedroom homes that sleep 16, many with a pool, a wide porch, and a boardwalk to the sand. Cherry Grove in particular is beloved for its tide-pool creeks and roomy family houses. Golfers have their own reason to gather here: the Strand packs in roughly a hundred courses, so a group can tee off every morning and regroup at the beach house by afternoon. The pitch is straightforward - oceanfront square footage that would cost double on the Florida Panhandle, a kitchen big enough to feed a crowd, and a short drive to Broadway at the Beach for the kids. Myrtle Beach rewards groups that want a lot of coast for the money.

Common questions
Where are the big group beach houses in Myrtle Beach?
The large oceanfront homes cluster north of the city in North Myrtle Beach, across its four sections - Cherry Grove Beach, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill. Six- and seven-bedroom houses sleeping 16 with a pool and porch are common, with Cherry Grove especially popular for families.
Is Myrtle Beach a cheaper option for a large group?
Generally, yes. Oceanfront square footage on the Grand Strand tends to cost noticeably less than comparable homes on the Florida Panhandle or the Outer Banks, which is a big reason budget-minded reunions and golf groups gravitate here.
Can a golf group and a beach reunion both work in Myrtle Beach?
Ideally so - the Grand Strand has roughly a hundred golf courses, so players can tee off each morning and be back at the beach house by lunch. A large oceanfront home gives golfers and non-golfers a shared base without anyone feeling stuck.
