We found the perfect home in Waterway Palms Plantation-and even more important found the neighborhood that matched our lifestyle in the community we needed. A slice of vacation tucked away in the suburbs of Carolina Forest

At Home on the ICW - Waterway Palms Plantation
When clients tell me they want the Intracoastal Waterway lifestyle—but also want convenience, community, and long-term value—Waterway Palms Plantation is always part of the conversation.
Tucked inside the heart of Carolina Forest, this gated ICW community offers something truly special: the feeling of being removed from the hustle, while still being minutes from everything that makes Myrtle Beach easy and enjoyable. It’s a neighborhood where people don’t just live—they settle in.
Waterway Palms is designed for buyers who value connection—to the water, to their neighbors, and to the way they want their everyday life to feel. Mornings might start with a walk under moss-draped oaks, afternoons by the resort-style pool, and weekends launching a boat directly onto the Intracoastal from the community’s private boat ramp and day docks. That kind of access isn’t common—and for many of my buyers, it’s a game-changer.
The homes here reflect that same thoughtful approach to lifestyle. You’ll find Charleston-inspired architecture and Lowcountry designs, from elegant row-style homes with balconies and courtyards to larger custom residences—some with water views or private docks. It’s a neighborhood with character, not cookie-cutter streets, and that matters to buyers who want their home to feel personal and enduring.
One of the things residents love most is the community energy. Waterway Palms has a true neighborhood feel—people know each other, kids ride bikes, and social connections happen naturally around the clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, and walking paths. It’s active without being overwhelming, polished without being pretentious.
Location is another major draw. From here, you’re just minutes to River Oaks Drive, Highway 501, and Highway 31, making it easy to reach beaches, dining, golf, shopping, and top-rated Carolina Forest schools. Many homeowners choose Waterway Palms because it supports every phase of life—a neighborhood not to be missed!

My wife knew this was the neighborhood for us as soon as we drove into the main entrance lined with palm trees with a view of the resort club house. We new this would be more than a place to go home it would be a place for our family to enjoy the full vacation lifetsyle.
