Iris & Howard Real Estate

215 Portofino Dr., Myrtle Beach, SC 29579

Overview:

Welcome to Merrill Villas in Carolina Forest, where a central location puts you close to all the Grand Strand has to offer, including award-winning schools, shopping, dining, and days at the beach. This two-story home offers room to gather, space to spread out, and a backyard designed for making the most of coastal living. The kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while a convenient first-floor guest suite provides a welcoming space for visitors. Outside, the owners have transformed the large, fenced backyard into their own private oasis, complete with an extended patio, pergola, built-in outdoor kitchen, and a spa that conveys with the home. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee on the covered porch, hosting a weekend cookout, or unwinding in the spa, this outdoor space invites you to stay awhile. Upstairs, the primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath, while three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family and guests. A spacious loft provides the perfect spot for a playroom, homeschooling area, or home office, and the upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience. With inviting indoor spaces and a backyard ready for relaxing and entertaining, this home brings it all together in close proximity to shopping, dining, hospitals, and, of course, toes in the sand.
