Description

Behind the private gates of Calais, an intimate custom enclave within Myrtle Beach’s prestigious Grande Dunes, this fully reimagined Mediterranean estate offers a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and coastal resort living, with the beach just an easy five-minute walk away. With only 29 residences, Calais offers a level of privacy and exclusivity rarely found this close to the ocean. Full Ocean Club access is included through the HOA, placing oceanfront pools, dining, and private beach amenities just a short golf cart ride or drive away. Comprehensively renovated in 2025, the home has been transformed with newly installed finishes, fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, lighting, and stonework throughout. New marble flooring flows throughout the main living spaces, creating an elegant foundation for interiors defined by volume, craftsmanship, and architectural character. Coffered ceilings and tray ceilings rising up to 15 feet add a sense of scale and refinement, while Ionic columns, custom millwork, and new Restoration Hardware lighting complete the setting. Built with insulated concrete form construction, the residence offers both enduring strength and elevated comfort. At the center of the home, the newly renovated kitchen is as elegant as it is functional. Custom Wood-Mode inset cabinetry, finished with a softly glazed exterior and walnut interior, is paired with Calacatta Viola marble countertops, a matching full-height marble backsplash, and a striking oversized island. The new appliance suite includes Sub-Zero refrigeration, a 48-inch Wolf rangetop with integrated griddle, Wolf convection and convection-steam wall ovens, Wolf drawer microwave, and Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher. A new Shaws of England fireclay sink, dedicated reverse-osmosis tap, and California Faucets fixtures complete the main kitchen, while the custom cabinetry continues into the pantry, where a new walnut countertop adds warmth and refinement. The home’s living and entertaining spaces balance warmth with refinement, from the formal and family living rooms — each anchored by a gas fireplace with a custom-carved mantel — to the newly finished butler’s bar set behind wrought-iron arched doors. There, custom Wood-Mode cabinetry continues with antiqued-mirror accents, Calacatta Viola counters, a Wolf built-in coffee system, Sub-Zero beverage refrigeration, and a second Shaws fireclay sink, all introduced as part of the renovation. The split-bedroom layout gives the primary suite its own private wing, complete with a sitting room overlooking the pool and dual walk-in closets. The primary bath pairs travertine with dramatic black marble, creating a richly finished spa-like retreat with new California Faucets fixtures, a rain head, body sprays, and a Toto jetted soaking tub. The same custom Wood-Mode inset cabinetry with walnut interiors continues into the baths, giving the home a cohesive, carefully considered finish. Two ensuite guest rooms and a dedicated office add comfort and flexibility for hosting, working from home, or quiet retreat. Outdoors, the home continues its resort-like feel with a heated pool, raised spa, in-pool tanning shelf, and summer kitchen designed for relaxed coastal living. The pool terrace offers a private, polished setting for quiet mornings, afternoon swims, and evenings with guests. Additional recent upgrades include a new Rinnai tankless water heater and new LeafGuard gutter system, while a separate golf cart bay adds everyday convenience for beach and Ocean Club living. Fully renovated, exceptionally appointed, and set within one of the Carolinas’ most desirable resort communities, this private coastal estate offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, privacy, and coastal convenience — with the beach just an easy five-minute walk from home.
