Homes for sale Barefoot Landing Resort and Community in North Myrtle Beach. Barefoot Resort is a large, master-planned resort community in North Myrtle Beach centered on golf, the Intracoastal Waterway and Barefoot Landing (the popular shopping/entertainment complex). It mixes high-rise and low-rise condos, townhouse clusters, single-family and luxury “golf estate” neighborhoods and has on-site resort amenities (pool complex, private beach cabana access, marina proximity, and four signature golf courses by Pete Dye, Davis Love III, Tom Fazio and Greg Norman). It’s a lifestyle development — think golf and water views by day, boardwalk dining and live music at Barefoot Landing by night. Recent neighborhood-level market trackers show the Barefoot Resort median/listing price around the mid-$300k to low-$400k range in 2025 with active inventory in both condos, townhouses and single-family homes; days on market can vary but some reports show higher-than-average DOM relative to peak-market years. (Local market data fluctuates — always pull live MLS comps when pricing.) 

What living in Barefoot Resort feels like

Day-to-day life has a relaxed, resort-meets-suburban rhythm. Owners enjoy easy access to the Intracoastal (marina vibes and water views), frequent golf traffic on resort courses, large pools and owner-only beach cabana access across Ocean Boulevard, and a steady stream of visitors in high season thanks to vacation rentals nearby. The built environment ranges from quiet, tree-lined neighborhood streets and lakes to denser condo towers and active commercial areas at Barefoot Landing. If you want both walkable dining/entertainment and quiet residential streets, Barefoot delivers both. 

Types of homes you’ll find in Barefoot Resort

• High-rise & mid-rise condos — units with views of the waterway, marina and resort pools. Popular for owners who want low-maintenance living and rental income potential. (Good for seasonal owners and investors.) 

• Townhomes & villa-style units — multi-level homes with small yards or shared green space, often built as part of the resort’s condo/townhome offerings — a mid point between condo convenience and single-family privacy. 

• Single-family homes & patio homes — from modest 2–3 bedroom family homes to larger homes backing golf holes or lakes; many neighborhoods were built for full-time residential living. 

• Luxury golf estates / Dye Estates — premium lots and custom homes, often with larger lots and golf or water views; these appeal to buyers seeking a higher-end, private product. 

Barefoot Resort HOA Info

1. Multiple associations & rules — Barefoot has a master Residential Association and multiple sub-associations with rules on exterior appearance, rentals, parking and common-area use. Read the Rules & Regulations and the specific CCRs for the neighborhood you’re buying into. (Violations can lead to fines and delay renovations.) 

2. Rental activity & short-term rules — many units are in short-term rental programs. If you plan to rent your property, confirm unit-level rental rules, registration and any minimums or black-out dates. Some sub-communities have stricter controls. 

3. HOA/COA fees and assessments — there are routine dues (amenity maintenance, beach cabana, landscaping, security) and occasional special assessments for major repairs — budget accordingly and request the association financials in due diligence. 

4. Insurance & storm considerations — coastal location means hurricane wind and possible flood exposure. Buyers should pull FEMA maps for the parcel, get elevation info, and request recent insurance premiums and claims history. Expect higher insurance and maintenance costs than inland properties.

5. Golf course & water-feature impacts — homes on fairways or water can have different maintenance needs (irrigation, bulkhead upkeep, occasional spray from fertilizers) and different resale dynamics — know who maintains bulkheads/docks if you buy on water.

6. Amenities access & membership options — Barefoot offers paid golf and social memberships with monthly dues; memberships are optional but useful for frequent golfers. Confirm membership costs and privileges before assuming access. 

Location & convenience — where you are relative to what matters

• Barefoot Landing — literally on the doorstep: shopping, dining, live music, show venues and family attractions are all adjacent or within a short walk/drive. That’s huge for rental demand and everyday convenience. 

• Beaches & the Atlantic — the community includes private owner access to a beach cabana across Ocean Boulevard; public beach access is also nearby.

• Medical, grocery & highways — easy access to Highway 17 for trips north to Little River and Calabash or south to Myrtle Beach proper; local hospitals, urgent care and grocery options are a short drive away.

• Airport & regional travel — Myrtle Beach International is a short drive (roughly 15–25 minutes depending on traffic), making Barefoot friendly for second-home owners who fly in.

Real Estate Market trends Barefoot Resort

• Why that matters: the mix of rental-friendly condos and owner-occupied single-family homes means pricing and demand differ significantly by product type. Condos near Barefoot Landing and the marina often have steady rental demand; larger single-family golf or water homes attract owner-occupants or premium buyers.
