Del Webb Grande Dunes, Myrtle Beach

Del Webb at Grande Dunes is Myrtle Beach's most prestigious 55+ active adult community, set within the iconic 2,200-acre Grande Dunes master-planned development along the Intracoastal Waterway. Built by PulteGroup beginning in 2017, this community raised the bar for resort-style retirement living on the Grand Strand — and remains the benchmark every other community is measured against. Residents enjoy a dual-amenity lifestyle unlike anything else in the area: the Del Webb's own 15,000 square foot on-site amenity center — featuring indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, pickleball, tennis, bocce, and walking trails along the waterway — plus exclusive access to the Grande Dunes Ocean Club, a stunning 25,000 square foot private beachfront clubhouse with an oceanfront pool, poolside dining, and private beach cabanas. Golf cart access to both facilities is included in the HOA. For anyone asking 'What is the best 55+ community in Myrtle Beach?' — Del Webb at Grande Dunes is consistently the first answer. It is the only community on the Grand Strand offering this combination of Intracoastal Waterway living, private beach club access, resort-caliber amenities, and the nationally recognized Del Webb brand behind it.

 

The Del Webb amenity center sits along the Intracoastal Waterway and offers a 15,000 sq ft clubhouse with an indoor heated saltwater lap pool, outdoor saltwater infinity pool, two hot tubs, two cabanas, an outdoor kitchen and gas fire pits, pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, tennis courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, arts and crafts studio, card room, ballroom, and gathering spaces. A full-time Lifestyle Director curates a packed social calendar year-round. Residents also have golf cart access to the Grande Dunes Ocean Club, offering a 25,000 sq ft private facility with an oceanfront pool, private beach access with lounge chairs, an upscale members' lounge, bar and dining, and valet parking.

 

Del Webb offers seven highly customizable floor plans through the Expedition Series, ranging from 1,656 to 2,565 sq ft. Open-concept layouts feature large center-island kitchens, expansive owner's suites, and optional bonus rooms and flex spaces. The community also includes Waterside Pointe and Waterside Edge — two sub-neighborhoods offering direct Intracoastal Waterway frontage with private day docks, commanding premium prices and extraordinary views.

 

Del Webb Grande Dunes sits in the northern Myrtle Beach corridor — minutes from upscale dining along Restaurant Row, the YMCA, a dedicated dog park, and Highway 17 for easy access to all 60+ miles of Grand Strand beach. With over 90 golf courses within a short drive, and the Grande Dunes Golf Club featuring two 18-hole courses on-property, this community delivers on the full coastal retirement experience.

 

The private beach access is the single biggest differentiator. No other 55+ community in Myrtle Beach provides residents with their own private oceanfront club. For buyers coming from the Northeast or Midwest who have dreamed of a beach retirement, this is the community that delivers that vision most completely. The Del Webb brand also carries strong national recognition — buyers who have researched 55+ communities across Florida and the Carolinas know the Del Webb name and trust it.

 

Listing your home with a 55places Partner Agent means your property is marketed to a national audience of qualified retirement buyers actively searching Del Webb communities specifically. These are not casual browsers — they are pre-qualified, motivated buyers already familiar with the community. Combined with Luxury Presence's digital marketing, your home receives maximum visibility to the most relevant buyers in the country.

Yes — and it is the most exclusive beach access of any 55+ community on the Grand Strand.

Golf cart access to the Ocean Club is included in the HOA.

 

HOA fees at Del Webb Grande Dunes cover lawn care, roof and siding maintenance, beach club access, and full use of the on-site amenity center. Fees vary by home type and phase — always verify current dues directly with the HOA or your real estate agent, as fees may have changed. Contact Brendan D'Anna for current figures.

The community sits less than two miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Golf cart access to the private Grande Dunes Ocean Club beach facility makes the beach a convenient, everyday amenity rather than a special occasion trip.

Yes, for buyers seeking a premium coastal retirement lifestyle with strong brand recognition, private beach access, and Intracoastal Waterway living, Del Webb Grande Dunes consistently delivers. It also holds its value well due to the scarcity of 55+ beach-access communities in the Myrtle Beach market.

Del Webb offers seven customizable floor plans ranging from 1,656 to 3,818 sq ft with 2–5 bedrooms. Open-concept designs feature large kitchen islands, owner's suites, and optional bonus rooms. The Waterside Pointe and Waterside Edge neighborhoods offer additional waterfront homesites along the Intracoastal.

Yes, Del Webb at Grande Dunes is pet-friendly. The community features walking trails and nearby access to the YMCA dog park just outside the gates.

Del Webb is the premium option — larger homes, private beach access, Intracoastal Waterway setting, and the nationally recognized Del Webb brand. Cresswind at Market Common offers walkability to shops and restaurants, slightly lower price points, and a nature-inspired setting. Both are excellent — the right choice depends on whether beach access or urban walkability matters more to you.
