Where it is and the vibe
Dunes Village Resort sits directly on the Myrtle Beach shoreline at 5200 North Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC. The property is a short walk to the sand and offers ocean views from many rooms.

- Direct beach access — about a 1–2 minute walk to the shoreline
- Close drive to Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, and SkyWheel areas
- Quiet time in public areas starts at 11:00 PM
