Very nice rectangular shaped homesite on a duck pond in one of the Prince Creek’s premier neighborhoods. No time-frame to build and you choose your own builder. Within the gated community, Palm Bay has generous private amenities at The Park, just a short walk or bike ride away. You’ll find two beautiful pools, two lighted tennis courts, and a great community clubhouse that even includes a workout room. Also included in the The Park is play equipment for youngsters, picnic areas, a sand volley ball court, walking trails, and a groomed multi-purpose playing field. The Park is the perfect place to socialize, exercise, or relax. Palm Bay is only 5 minutes from the public boat landing and water activities at the Inter Coastal Waterway. In the other direction you’re five minutes from a modern hospital, and the heart and soul of Murrells Inlet where you’ll find all the famous seafood restaurants, the marina, and miles of bike trails. Ocean lovers are only 10 minutes from the sandy, pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches. And for golfers, the sidewalks lead to South Carolina’s only TPC, and you’re just minutes from many other top golf courses.
