Looking for lockout condos in Myrtle Beach? What follows is that slice of the market and nothing else. Broadway at the Beach and Coastal Grand Mall are within easy reach, and most driving here runs on Highway 17 Bypass and Highway 31. The full Myrtle Beach condo list is a click away when you need it.
A lockout condo in Myrtle Beach is really two spaces behind one front door. An interior door locks between them, so the unit can be used whole or split into a smaller suite and a larger side.
Owners use this two ways. Some rent the lockout side year round and keep the rest for themselves. Others rent the whole unit in July and the smaller side in the shoulder months, when a full two bedroom is a harder sell. It helps to look at something like A Place at the Beach V - Shore Drive alongside the numbers.
Myrtle Beach is big enough that the street you buy on changes the whole experience. Ocean Boulevard puts you in the middle of everything; Market Common feels like a small town with its own park and shops; Carolina Forest is quiet and inland with the schools nearby. The beach itself changes character block by block. The stretch north of 29th is quieter than the boardwalk end, and the south end toward Myrtle Beach State Park has wider sand and fewer people.
The trade-off is that the smaller side is usually an efficiency with a kitchenette rather than a full kitchen. Look at how the two halves are metered and how the building treats the lockout for rental registration before you count on the income.
Day to day, Myrtle Beach means Broadway at the Beach and Coastal Grand Mall nearby and Highway 17 Bypass and Highway 31 for anything further out. That mix is what keeps people coming back to buy here instead of somewhere else on the coast.
