When the summer crowds fade and the ocean breeze turns crisp, the Grand Strand reveals one of its best sides: the off-season. From Garden City up to North Myrtle Beach, the months between October and April offer an ideal opportunity for remote workers, small groups, and snowbirds to enjoy a longer stay in one of our beautiful coastal homes, without the summer chaos.

Whether you’re escaping the cold, working remotely in paradise, or simply craving peace near the ocean, BASK Away’s collection of monthly vacation rentals on South Carolina’s Grand Strand are designed for comfort, convenience, and coastal living.

Why Stay in a Monthly Rental on South Carolina’s Grand Strand?

More Space, Less Rush, Pure Relaxation

Our monthly rentals have everything you need to feel at home: full kitchens, spacious living areas, private outdoor spaces, and, most importantly, the peace and charm of the Grand Strand in the off-season. Each home is unique, but all share what matters most: walkable beach access, comfortable furnishings, and room to unwind for weeks at a time.

These homes are ideal for:

-Snowbirds seeking an extended coastal stay

-Remote workers who’d rather answer emails with a poolside or oceanfront view

-Couples, small groups, or families looking for a peaceful, low-key retreat

Stay at spots like Pelican Point, Meant To Be, or Anchors Down—where the beach is your backyard and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk is just around the corner.

Mild Weather & Quiet Beaches

The Grand Strand’s off-season weather is a dream, mild days, cool evenings, and a refreshing break from summer humidity. With average daytime highs in the 60s and 70s, it’s perfect for beach walks, bike rides, outdoor dining, and exploring without crowds or long waits.

Things to Do on the South Carolina Grand Strand 

Explore the Shore by Golf Cart

One of the best parts of an off-season stay? The freedom to cruise. Many visitors rent a golf cart for easy trips to the beach, morning coffee runs, or exploring local shops without the summer traffic. In places like Garden City Beach, Surfside Beach, and North Myrtle’s Cherry Grove area, it’s the perfect way to soak in ocean views at a slower pace.

Year-Round Golf in the Myrtle Beach Area

With over 90 courses, many award-winning, Myrtle Beach earns its title as the Golf Capital of the World. In the off-season, you’ll enjoy shorter waits, cooler playing conditions, and discounted tee times, perfect for a full day on the greens. Popular nearby courses include:

Tidewater Golf Club

Caledonia Golf & Fish Club

Barefoot Resort & Golf

True Blue Golf Club

Shop, Stroll & Savor

Even in the cooler months, the coast stays lively with many restaurants open year-round offering happy hours, live music, and fewer crowds. Enjoy charming shops, waterfront dining, and open-air strolls at:
