Homes for Sale with a Pool in Myrtle Beach SC

The swim season here runs most of the year — which is why a private pool holds value.

Homes for sale with pools are one of the most requested searches in the Myrtle Beach market, and for good reason. The climate supports swimming for a large part of the year, so a pool here is used far more of the time than one further north.

It is also one of the features where what you are buying varies most. A screened in-ground pool on a private lot is a different proposition from a community pool you share with two hundred neighbors, and the ongoing costs differ just as widely.

01 / The lifestyle

Private or Community Pool

Both are common here, and they suit different buyers.

Your own retreat

Private Pool

Yours alone, available whenever you want it, and private. You carry the maintenance, the insurance and the repairs.

Shared amenities

Community Pool

Maintained by the association and paid for through your fee. No upkeep, but shared, and busiest exactly when you most want to use it.

The best of both

Both

Common here. In many neighborhoods a private pool sits behind a home whose owners also use the community pool, clubhouse and courts.

Several Myrtle Beach communities are known for their pool amenities specifically.

Houses for Sale in Myrtle Beach with a Pool

Every house for sale with a pool in Myrtle Beach, from the local MLS, in one list or on a map. There are usually about 100 of them: only a handful under $400,000, around 40 between $400,000 and $1 million, and more than half above $1 million, where the pool comes with the waterway lot or the oceanfront rather than being the reason for the price.

Homes for Sale with a Pool: What They Cost in Myrtle Beach

A private pool is not reserved for the top of the market. As of September 2026, homes with their own pool are listed from under $400,000 to more than $7 million, and the price is driven far more by the house and the location than by the pool itself.

The examples below run from the entry point past $3 million. The lower half covers the part of the market where buyers are most often surprised to find a pool at all. Higher up the pool stops being the reason for the price, and the water, the lot and the build take over; at the top a pool is close to expected rather than a feature worth searching for. Note too that the largest lots and the highest prices often carry no association at all.

A sample of listings active in September 2026, shown as examples rather than as a price guide, and stopping well short of the top of the market. Inventory changes daily, so call me for what is available now. HOA amounts are shown as supplied; confirm the billing frequency and current fee for each property.

One thing worth drawing out of that range: heated pools are common here, and that is what turns the long swim season from a selling line into something you actually use. Several of these carry a heated saltwater pool or a heated spa.

Several of the highest priced sit on the water, which you can browse on my Intracoastal Waterway homes and Myrtle Beach oceanfront homes pages, and several of the newest are covered on my new construction homes page. For the top of the market, see Myrtle Beach luxury homes.

Homes with pools sit across the price range, so it is worth browsing by budget as well as by feature. See Myrtle Beach homes for sale by price for the full set of price bands.

Myrtle Beach Communities That Allow Private Pools

This is the question to settle first, because it is the one buyers discover last. Some communities permit private pools, some do not, and the rule is set by the association rather than by the city or the county. Start with the neighborhood, then confirm the specific lot.

Carolina Forest

Elsewhere in Carolina Forest
Barefoot Resort
Grande Dunes

- Bal Harbor
Del Webb 55+ Neighborhoods
- Waterside Edge
- Waterside Pointe
Know the exceptions
Del Webb: private pools are not permitted.

North Village Estates: select homesites only, so the answer there depends on the lot rather than the neighborhood.

Permission is only the first step. Nearly all of these communities require architectural approval before a pool is built, so confirm the current rules in the association documents for the specific neighborhood and lot before you write an offer.

04 / The details

Buying a House with a Pool: What to Check

Can you even add one?

Three separate things can stop a pool. The association may prohibit them outright. It may allow them but require architectural approval. Or the rules may permit a pool the lot cannot take, which is the one buyers miss most often.
Will the lot take one?

Lot size alone does not decide it. Pools here sit on lots from about a seventh of an acre upward, so what matters is the usable back yard after setbacks and whether there is side access wide enough to bring equipment through. Walk the yard with that in mind before you fall for the house.
Insurance

A pool affects your homeowners policy, generally through the liability side. Ask your agent what it does to the premium before you commit, particularly on a coastal property where the base cost is already high.
Barriers and safety

Pools are subject to fencing and barrier requirements. On a resale, confirm the existing setup complies rather than assuming it does.
Age and equipment

Pumps, heaters, liners and salt systems all have a service life. Ask when each was last replaced, and have the pool inspected alongside the house.
Screened or open

Screened enclosures cut down on insects and debris and extend the usable season, but they add cost and eventually need re-screening.

Let Me Be Your Guide

Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist | Ashley DeLong, Realtor

I am a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist. At the upper end a pool is close to expected rather than a bonus, and what matters becomes the quality of the installation and how well it suits the lot.

The mistake I see most often is a buyer falling for a house and assuming a pool can be added later. Sometimes it can. Often the association will not approve it, or the lot cannot take one, or the access needed to get equipment into the back yard does not exist. That is worth settling before you make an offer, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a pool to a home that does not have one?

Sometimes, but not always. Three separate things can stop it: the association may prohibit private pools outright, it may allow them but require architectural approval, or the lot may not take one because of setbacks or a lack of side access for equipment. Check the association rules and walk the lot before making an offer.

Which Myrtle Beach communities allow private pools?

In Carolina Forest, The Battery on the Waterway, The Bluffs on the Waterway, Carolina Waterway Plantation, Waterway Palms Plantation, Waterbridge, Plantation Lakes, Berkshire Forest and Indigo Bay allow them. At Barefoot Resort, The Dye Estates, Leatherleaf, Oak Pointe, Coquina Pointe and Tuscan Sands allow them. In Grande Dunes, every single family neighborhood over the bridge allows them, along with Seville, Siena Park, The Cape, Castillo del Mar, Calais, Cipriana Park, Bal Harbor, Waterside Edge, Waterside Pointe and Living Dunes. Del Webb does not permit private pools, and North Village Estates allows one on select homesites only, so confirm the specific lot.

How much does a home with a pool cost in Myrtle Beach?

The range is wider than most buyers expect. As of September 2026, homes with a private pool are listed from under $400,000 to more than $7 million. Below roughly $650,000 they turn up across Carolina Forest, the Market Common area and the neighborhoods near the Golden Mile. From there they run through the gated, golf and waterway communities and on to the oceanfront.

Which Myrtle Beach communities have the best pools?

Waterbridge in Carolina Forest has one of the largest residential pools in South Carolina. North Beach Plantation has a three-acre oceanfront pool complex with infinity pools and a swim-up bar, Grande Dunes owners have the Ocean Club pool complex, and Kingston Plantation has a waterpark on site.

Can I have a private pool and community amenities too?

Yes, and it is common here. In many Myrtle Beach neighborhoods a home with its own pool also carries the community pool, clubhouse and courts through the association fee, so the private pool is an addition to the shared amenities rather than a substitute for them.

Does a pool increase a home's value in Myrtle Beach?

A pool is one of the most requested features here, and the long swim season supports that. Because some communities do not allow private pools at all, a home that already has one in a neighborhood where they are permitted is not something a buyer can simply create elsewhere.

How does a pool affect homeowners insurance?

A pool generally affects the liability side of a homeowners policy. It is worth asking your insurance agent what it does to the premium before committing, particularly on a coastal property where the base cost is already high.

What is the difference between a private pool and a community pool?

A private pool is yours alone and available whenever you want it, but you carry the maintenance, insurance and repairs. A community pool is maintained by the association and paid for through your fee, but it is shared and busiest when you most want to use it.

What should I inspect on an existing pool?

The age and condition of the pump, heater, liner and any salt system, and whether the fencing and barrier setup complies with current requirements. Have the pool inspected alongside the house rather than assuming it is included.
