Welcome to The Bays of Prince Creek, an exclusive gated enclave within Murrells Inlet’s premier Prince Creek master-planned community. Known for its coastal charm, golf-cart friendly roads, and vibrant lifestyle, Prince Creek spans over 2, 800 acres and 26 neighborhoods anchored by South Carolina’s only TPC golf course. The Bays is uniquely positioned as the ONLY neighborhood in Prince Creek with private access to both TPC Boulevard and Prince Creek Parkway, offering a scenic, low-traffic route to the Prince Creek Shopping Village, the famous Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, and the South End beaches including Huntington Beach State Park. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities including two pools, a true clubhouse, pickleball courts, basketball, volleyball, an event gazebo, activity field, and sidewalks winding throughout the community toward the golf course and nearby shops. Located in the only raised beach cottage community within The Bays, this beautiful home blends coastal architecture with thoughtful upgrades and modern comforts. The 3 bedroom / 2.5 bath open floor plan features hard surface flooring, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, tile baths, a gas log fireplace, and a Carolina Room with AC. One exceptional feature worth noting is the private luxury elevator, providing effortless access between levels and delivering both convenience and long-term accessibility. In elevated coastal homes, an elevator is more than a luxury, it transforms daily living by eliminating stairs for groceries, luggage, and guests while adding comfort and future-ready practicality. While the home features the charming raised beach cottage design, it is important to note that the elevation is primarily aesthetic and architectural, as the property is located in a low-risk X flood zone, meaning flood insurance is not required by lenders. Additional upgrades after original construction include a Generac standby generator, hurricane shutters, recessed lighting, renovated pantry and master closet, built-in dining banquet with storage, hardwood floors in all bedrooms, and a smart refrigerator. Outdoor living truly shines with totally serene and private views, creating a peaceful retreat rarely found in coastal communities. The backyard features a back deck with a sunken fire pit, reclaimed furniture, and ambient lighting, perfect for relaxing evenings or entertaining. A lower patio swing, spiral staircase connecting levels, leaf-guard gutters, garage shelving, and a concrete sidewalk connecting the front and backyard spaces complete the thoughtful outdoor design. The perfect blend of privacy, coastal living, golf, and resort-style amenities, all just minutes from beaches, waterfront dining, and everything Murrells Inlet is known for.
