Imagine an exclusive beach house, just a few steps from the water for 80,000 dollars! This is what you find in the Cabana area of Myrtle Beach. About a dozen of these 200-square-foot beach facilities land in the Ocean Boulevard area.
Boars are of dubious origin; some believe that they originally belonged to the beaches across the street, which have since been destroyed and replaced with pitchforks. Others say that the structure belonged to the hotel Ocean Forest, which stood from 1930 to 1974, and then offered for sale after the hotel was demolished.
In any case, these small buildings are among the hottest properties in the city; over the past seven years, only two have entered the market. As a rule, local realtors maintain lists of potential buyers, and if a unit or lot becomes available, it is usually sold within 30 minutes.
Myrtle Beach's own native, Steve Bailey, bought him a Kuban after a five-minute phone call with his real estate agent. Apparently, building codes were extremely restrictive, requiring multiple permits, installation of a septic system, and underground utilities. It cannot have a driveway, a park on its territory, a step on the dunes, a touch of sea oats or the movement of any sand on the site. Bailey argued that building a cabin was more restrictive than building a house, but it was worth the effort.
Most residents do not care about insurance, as the costs are so high that it is cheaper to recover. However, do not be fooled, these beach huts may be small, but they are powerful. One, in particular, owned by Kevin Warren and Dean Carroll, is estimated at more than 20 years. Its solid structure has been experiencing annual hurricanes for a long time.
Rod Scarborough, executive director of a retired bank, spent five years trying to get his plot of $ 78,000, located from a 40-foot setback to tide. His beach house is often used, and the open door policy applies to his friends and family.
These cherished little beach huts provided an exclusive holiday that only a few of the few could receive. I hope they will remain for many years, are transmitted as relics from generation to generation.
