About this property

CLOSE TO THE BEACH, BEAUTIFUL ESTATE, SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY

This home is part of a 7-acre secluded estate, just 15 minutes from Myrtle Beach. My husband and I live in the other house separated from yours by a courtyard and interior hallway. The sweeping oaks, covered in flowing grey moss, that line the driveway and surround the deck overlooking the Waccamaw River. The large two-story home colored in dark green mixes in with the riverside environment, all of this giving a combination of quiet and peacefulness as it overlooks this historic, scenic river. There are families of deer that make their home here so drive carefully in and out of our driveway. There are plenty of turkeys too that bed in the woods next door. Plenty of privacy and quiet - yet just minutes from the Grand Strand-Myrtle Beach and other beachfront communities. Sorry, but we absolutely cannot accommodate more than 8 guests!
OUR NEWLY DESIGNED POOL PATIO OVERLOOKING THE RIVER IS A GREAT SCENE FOR A WEDDING!
This home features a roomy two-car garage with a washer/dryer combo to help keep up with everyday laundry.
Most folks enter through the garage for an easy unload into a hallway with several supply closets, some filled with towels and linens.
Into the dining room and kitchen that features a major remodel for all of our 2021 guests. The appliances are stainless steel and there are hardwood floors.
From there you get an impressive view of the pool, deck, tables, and chairs with pool floats gathered for your convenience. The rest of the quiet home is covered in plush, white carpet.
Into a spacious living room with a marble fireplace and leather couches and chairs, positioned to watch the large-screen tv. There are also two electric recliners. A charming half bath is near the front door.
The living room and kitchen opens into the Carolina Room, featuring a double daybed, a bar, a couch, and a sofa table with lots of board games inside.
As you pass through the living room into a hallway with shelves of books and trinkets that opens into a large master bedroom. Beyond there you see a private room of cypress with your personal hot tub and the room has its own heat/air unit. Best to keep the temperature in the room fairly warm so you are not cold when you get out of the hot tub. This room has an exit to the pool and deck.
As you look to the left from the master bedroom, there's a large walk-in closet; to the right of that you see an oversized master bathroom that has also just been remodeled. There's a large shower with a bench and a tub that acts as a jacuzzi as well.
Near the front entrance, you will see the steps to the second floor. The bedroom on the left has a great view of the pool, deck, and the Waccamaw River. There's a tv there as well. The view of the river is even better from the screened porch directly off of this bedroom.
Across the hall is another large bathroom with a tub/shower combination and a much larger walk-in closet.
Just down the hall is another bedroom with its own tv that opens onto the same screened-in porch.
River Bluff Estate is excited to announce our stepped-up process for sanitizing our property. We use a commercial fogger and Hydrolyte Excelyte Sars Cov 2, which is an EPA-approved disinfectant. (EPA Registration No. for Sars-Cov-2 Human Coronavirus Disinfectant 92108-1)
You can relish the best of both worlds here. Enjoy the plush home nestled in a natural, serene setting, and have fun at the beach with shopping, dining, and local attractions just a short car ride away! Sorry, no pets allowed.

Beautiful and Private Home
We enjoyed our stay here very much! Karole was a wonderful host and always made sure we had everything we needed. The pool was awesome and was a nice place to come back to unwind after a long hot day in Myrtle Beach. Even though Karole was right next door, we barely noticed. Very private and peaceful. It was the perfect distance away from Myrtle beach, only 20 minutes away. We would definitely come back! Thank you for your hospitality Karole!

Awesome property, owner and value
Amazing property. Very large rooms with plenty of closets and drawers, very clean, private and quiet, but close to stores and not far from any point in Myrtle Beach. The pool is excellent, and you could spend your entire vacation there. Karole is very nice, kept us well informed and made sure we had what we needed. Highest recommendation for this property.

A great vacation spot!
Our stay here was perfect. Everything was exactly as described. The house is beautiful. For us, the private pool was a deciding factor and it did not disappoint. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool as well as the outdoor patio. We didn't use the small boat, but the landing area for the boat is so peaceful it was nice to just sit there and enjoy it. We'd love to take that Master Bedroom/bathroom home! Karole is a great host - she kept in touch and followed up with us throughout the stay. We have visited Little River/Myrtle Beach area for more than 30 years - we rate River Bluff as the best place we have stayed so far. Hope to return again soon.

A total paradise!
My siblings and I stayed here for a week, and I can’t say enough great things about this property! The heated pool is to die for, and we swam in it almost constantly. Fishing in the little boat down the river was one of the most quiet and peaceful things I’ve ever experienced. The home has top notch appliances and everything you need for cooking at home, and the master bathroom is beyond luxurious. This home is so perfect and beautiful that it is more than worth the 15-20 mins drive to the fun activities in Myrtle Beach. Will definitely be returning here in the future!!

Beautiful home, wonderful getaway!
We loved our trip to Myrtle Beach and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful River bluff estate. The house was beautiful, clean, and fully stocked (kitchen, linens, bath towels and even pool towels, which really saves on packing!). There was plenty of room for our family's trip, which included grandparents, parents and two girls. And, plenty to do! We all loved the pool & hot tub, and watching movies on the smart TV after days at the beach. And, although we didn't fish, we enjoyed walking down to look at the river. It's a great location - tranquil and secluded, but close to everything Myrtle Beach has to offer! I cannot say enough about Karole and her team. They were wonderful. There was a slight refrigerator issue while we were there, but they were so quick to take care of absolutely everything. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Highly recommend and would love to return!

Wonderful place to stay
Best experience I’ve had in many trips to the area. The house is beautiful and clean and spacious. The fishing on the river was fantastic, we pulled in crappie, large mouth, rock bass and blues non stop from 5:30-8 every night. We will be back for our trip next spring for sure. No Myrtle beach resort has come close to the great time we had here. Thanks Karole! We will see you soon.

About the host

Hosted by Karole Jensen, Owner

Host profile image
I founded a non-profit organization in the 1970's to help abused/neglected and missing children. In 1993 I added Angel Flight - air transportation for sick and terminally ill children. I have been a pilot with my own aircraft since the early 1980's. I own and manage rental properties. I love to travel. My husband is a trial lawyer. Our offices are in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Why they chose this property

This is a magnificent property. It is a large duplex - approximately 4,000 sq ft on each side. It is just the two of us and our granddaughter that live in one side. The West Wing has been donated for the use of families of missing children (while they were here searching for their own children/grandchildren). We have had family in and some parties here. However, we have not really used this beautiful home and shared it like it should be shared. We love for families to come here and enjoy all that it has to offer. It is a spectacular property and we are proud to live here.

What makes this property unique

Only 5+ miles from Myrtle Beach, the home is on a seven-acre estate located directly on the unique, black, Waccamaw River. It is very upscale with custom decor. The carpet is very white and very plush, and there are rugs placed throughout. There is a beautiful marble fireplace, a jacuzzi, and an entire room for the hot tub which overlooks the Waccamaw River. There is no danger of flood here since we are 70' above the River. The view is very much like being in the mountains. The estate is one of the highest sections in this County that's on the Waccamaw River. There is a saltwater pool and a dock. The estate is very quiet and peaceful.
