Where else can you wake up to the Atlantic Beach and fall asleep to the sound of the creek? 2254 S Waccamaw Dr is a rare Garden City Beach estate that gives you both — ocean in front, protected water access in back, all within one exceptional property in Inlet Harbour! This nearly 6,000-square-foot home was built around its views. 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms- Every room is a great size and looks out onto the water, natural light pours in from every angle, and the balconies practically demand a slow morning with coffee or a sunset toast in the evening.

In Cherry Grove, where salt marsh meets the Atlantic and the pace of life slows down by design, this raised beach home at 412 35th Avenue North has been taken back to the studs and rebuilt the right way. The work started in 2022 and nothing was patched or prettied over. New roof, new windows, new siding, new decking and railings. New HVAC with all new ductwork. What you're buying is essentially a new house wearing a classic Cherry Grove address. Inside, luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main living area — durable enough for beach life, clean enough for company. Fresh paint, refinished ceilings, and good natural light make the space feel open without feeling cold. The kitchen is built for actual use: granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances. It works as well for a quiet Tuesday breakfast as it does for a house full of people. All three bathrooms have been fully redone — custom-tiled walk-in showers, contemporary vanities, no shortcuts. The ground-level bath handles the post-beach rinse-off duty perfectly, and the workshop and storage space below give you room to actually live here. Out back, a new deck extends over the channel. You've got a dock. You can launch a kayak from your own backyard, watch the marsh do its thing, and still be a few blocks from the ocean. That combination — waterfront calm plus beach access — is what Cherry Grove does best, and this house is positioned to take full advantage of it. "Move-in ready" is an overused phrase. Here it's just accurate. Call your agent.
