News Title:Pulte to be building in Long Bay Village along the Intracoastal Waterway in North Myrtle Beach
On March 4, 2025, the North Myrtle Beach Planning Commission held the first of two public hearings regarding the Development Agreement associated with the major amendment to the Bahama Island Planned Development District, converting Phase 2 to a single-family neighborhood.
The North Myrtle Beach Planning Commission recommended approval of the original Phase Two entitlement for the Bahama Island Planned Development District at its January 10, 2023, meeting, and the development passed second reading at North Myrtle Beach City Council on March 6, 2023. The initial plan included an RV resort with 361 spaces, a 6,000-square foot amenity center, a waterfront boardwalk, recreational facilities, and a large dry dock with a boat ramp. Last year, an amendment was approved revising the required offsite improvements and making minor adjustments to internal access. This amendment passed second reading at North Myrtle Beach City Council on October 7, 2024.
This new amendment discussed at the meeting on March 4, 2025, converts the previously approved RV resort into a single-family residential neighborhood – to be named Long Bay Village.
Long Bay Village will consist of single-family home 137 lots, including 35 single-family home waterfront lots with private docks along the Intracoastal Waterway. Each of the private docks along the Intracoastal Waterway will accommodate two adjacent waterfront lots.
Long Bay Village is designed around 9.1 acres of existing wetlands and a 110-foot-wide Santee Cooper power line right-of-way, which will remain undeveloped.
Key design elements of Long Bay Village include:
- Lot size: Minimum 7,200 square feet; Waterway “Piano” Lots 10,800 square feet
- Setbacks: 20-foot front/rear, 5-foot side, and 7.5-foot side setbacks for corner lots
- Access: Three entry points off Bowline Boulevard.
- Emergency access: Gate at C-Versie Road, served by a 22-foot-wide all-weather drive
- Amenities: Pool, clubhouse, playground, pickleball courts, two community boat docks, and two mail kiosks with parking
- Offsite Improvements: The developer will complete intersection upgrades at Old Crane Road and Bowline Boulevard
- Architectural Style: Homes will feature a coastal vernacular design, incorporating elements typical of traditional Lowcountry and waterfront architecture
