Senior Week beach house rentals in North Myrtle Beach are the most in-demand student accommodations on Ocean Drive from late May through June. The Decoy Condos on 1st Avenue North, The Morgan House on 8th Avenue South, and Shore Fun Two on 2nd Avenue South fill up months before graduation ceremonies happen — groups that reach out in January and February for June dates still sometimes find themselves competing for available properties. Groups that wait until April are working with what’s left.
This guide covers every Sea Aire property suited to Senior Week groups in North Myrtle Beach: occupancy, exact location, distance to the beach and to Main Street nightlife, and what the booking process looks like. If your group is graduating this spring and Senior Week is on the agenda, this page has what you need to pick the right house and get it secured before it’s gone.

Why Senior Week Belongs on Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach
Senior Week is not a Myrtle Beach tradition. It is an Ocean Drive tradition — rooted in the compact, walkable neighborhood on 1st Avenue North and Main Street in North Myrtle Beach, where graduating seniors from across the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia have been coming for decades to mark the end of high school and the beginning of whatever comes next.
The reason it works on Ocean Drive and nowhere else on the Grand Strand comes down to the same factor that makes Beach Week, Spring Break, and every other student trip work better here: the layout. Sea Aire rental houses on 1st Avenue North sit under two minutes on foot from the beach. The bars on Main Street — Fat Harold’s at 212 Main St, the Spanish Galleon on Ocean Boulevard, Duck’s at 231 Main St — are under ten minutes on foot from those same houses. The group leaves together, moves together, and comes back together. No rideshares. No one left at the hotel while others push on.
That walkability is not a marketing claim — it is the structural reason Senior Week has been a tradition at Ocean Drive for as long as it has. A graduating class of 25 sharing The Decoy Condos on 1st Avenue North has a fundamentally different Senior Week than 25 people in hotel rooms spread across Myrtle Beach’s commercial strip. The house is the center of the week. The beach is two minutes away. The bars are ten minutes away. That formula produces the Senior Week that graduating seniors actually remember.
Senior Week 2026 Dates in North Myrtle Beach
Senior Week 2026 on Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach runs from late May through the third week of June, with the busiest window falling in the first two weeks of June when the highest concentration of graduating classes arrives simultaneously.
Specific Senior Week dates vary by school and school district. Most North Carolina and South Carolina graduation ceremonies fall between late May and mid-June, with Virginia and Georgia groups arriving slightly earlier or later depending on their district calendars. The practical effect on Ocean Drive is that the Main Street bar scene and the rental house demand peak from roughly the last week of May through June 14 or 15, then taper off through the third week of June.
All Sea Aire Senior Week Rental Properties at a Glance
| Property | Location | Sleeps | Walk to Beach | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Decoy Condos | 1st Ave North | 8–40 | <2 min | Large Senior Week groups — top pick |
| Ocean Breeze | 1st Ave North | 8–16 | <2 min | Medium groups — best 1st Ave location |
| The Morgan House | 8th Ave South | 7–32 | Short walk | Large groups — best alternative to The Decoy |
| Shore Fun Two | 2nd Ave South | 11–25 | Short walk | Large groups on 2nd Ave South |
| Sea Aire Vacations | 2nd Ave South | 3–38 | Short walk | All sizes — most flexible booking |
| Grey Goose One | 2nd Ave South | 9–18 | Short walk | Medium groups |
| Grey Goose Two | 2nd Ave South | 3–12 | Short walk | Small groups |
| Shore Fun One | 2nd Ave South | 2–15 | Short walk | Small to medium groups |
| Bryant’s House | 2nd Ave South | 5–11 | Short walk | Small groups |
Large Group Senior Week Rentals — Sleeps 20 or More
For the biggest Senior Week groups — the ones where 20, 25, or 30 classmates are making the trip together — these are the Sea Aire properties that handle the numbers and deliver the Ocean Drive location that makes Senior Week work.
The Decoy Condos — 1st Avenue North, North Myrtle Beach
The Decoy Condos on 1st Avenue North is the most sought-after Senior Week rental in North Myrtle Beach and the first property that fills up for June dates every year. Its position on 1st Avenue North puts it under two minutes from the beach and under ten minutes on foot from every bar and club on Main Street — Fat Harold’s at 212 Main St, the Spanish Galleon on Ocean Boulevard, and Duck’s at 231 Main St. For a Senior Week group of 20 to 40, there is no better address on Ocean Drive.
The Decoy’s capacity range of 8 to 40 makes it the right call whether your Senior Week group is 18 people or 38. Groups that lock in The Decoy for their graduation week in January or February have the best Senior Week property in North Myrtle Beach secured. Groups that reach out in April for June dates are typically competing for whatever hasn’t already been reserved.
View The DecoyThe Morgan House — 8th Avenue South, North Myrtle Beach
The Morgan House on 8th Avenue South handles up to 32 guests and is the strongest alternative for large Senior Week groups when The Decoy is already reserved for their dates. It sits slightly south of the main Ocean Drive strip on 8th Avenue South, but stays within practical walking range of both the beach and Main Street. A Senior Week group of 20 to 30 sharing The Morgan House pays significantly less per person than the same group split across two medium properties — and they have the space and the privacy of a single large house for the week.
The Morgan House is also a strong first call for groups whose graduation falls in late May, when it competes less directly with the peak early-June Senior Week crowd than The Decoy does.
View The Morgan HouseShore Fun Two — 2nd Avenue South, North Myrtle Beach
Shore Fun Two on 2nd Avenue South sleeps up to 25 and is a solid Senior Week option for groups that are too large for a medium house but not quite filling out The Decoy or The Morgan House. Located alongside Sea Aire Vacations, Grey Goose One and Two, Shore Fun One, and Bryant’s House on 2nd Avenue South, it’s frequently paired with Sea Aire Vacations by larger Senior Week groups of 35 to 50 who want two adjacent houses on the same street rather than one large property.
View Shore Fun TwoSea Aire Vacations — 2nd Avenue South, North Myrtle Beach
Sea Aire Vacations on 2nd Avenue South has the widest occupancy range in the portfolio — 3 to 38 — which makes it the most flexible Senior Week booking option for groups whose final headcount isn’t confirmed when you need to secure dates. Senior Week groups frequently end up larger than initially planned; booking a property with a broad occupancy range avoids the need to upgrade later in the season when larger properties may no longer be available.
View Sea Aire VacationsMedium Group Senior Week Rentals — Sleeps 10 to 20
These properties suit Senior Week groups in the most common size range — a core friend group of 10 to 18 classmates sharing a beach house near Ocean Drive for the week.
Ocean Breeze — 1st Avenue North, North Myrtle Beach
Ocean Breeze on 1st Avenue North is the best medium-group Senior Week rental in the Sea Aire portfolio. It delivers the same 1st Avenue North location advantage as The Decoy — under two minutes to the beach, under ten to Fat Harold’s at 212 Main St and the Spanish Galleon on Ocean Boulevard — for a Senior Week group of 8 to 16 that doesn’t need 40-person capacity. Ocean Breeze and The Decoy are the two most requested Sea Aire properties for Senior Week dates, and both can be reserved for June dates as early as January.
View Ocean BreezeGrey Goose One — 2nd Avenue South, North Myrtle Beach
Grey Goose One on 2nd Avenue South sleeps 9 to 18 and works well for Senior Week groups that want a medium-sized house with the option to book a second adjacent property. Grey Goose One and Grey Goose Two together accommodate a combined Senior Week group of 12 to 30 with two separate houses side by side on 2nd Avenue South — a setup that works well when a group wants private space within a shared group trip.
View Grey Goose OneSmall Group Senior Week Rentals — Sleeps Under 12
Senior Week doesn’t require a group of 30. These properties are the right fit for smaller senior groups who want a private house near Ocean Drive without paying for space their group won’t fill.
Grey Goose Two — 2nd Avenue South, North Myrtle Beach
Grey Goose Two sleeps 3 to 12 and is Sea Aire’s best option for smaller Senior Week groups who want their own private house near Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach. It pairs naturally with Grey Goose One for Senior Week groups that want two separate houses side by side on 2nd Avenue South.
View Grey Goose TwoBryant’s House — 2nd Avenue South, North Myrtle Beach
Bryant’s House on 2nd Avenue South sleeps 5 to 11 and suits small Senior Week groups that want their own private house near Ocean Drive without the cost of a larger property. It sits alongside other Sea Aire properties on 2nd Avenue South, making it easy for smaller Senior Week groups to coordinate with friends staying at neighboring properties for the same week.

Senior Week rental bookings in North Myrtle Beach follow a predictable seasonal pattern. Understanding where the best properties go and when helps groups avoid the scenario where the house they wanted has been reserved since February.
September through November — Early planners secure the best properties
Groups that know their graduation date and have a rough headcount can reach out to Sea Aire in the fall semester. This is the earliest window and the one with the most flexibility — all properties are available, groups can compare options without pressure, and the booking process happens without competition from other groups chasing the same dates.
December through February — Peak booking season for June dates
This is when the majority of Senior Week bookings happen. The Decoy and Ocean Breeze on 1st Avenue North, and The Morgan House on 8th Avenue South, typically see their first-week-of-June dates reserved in this window. Groups reaching out in January and February for peak Senior Week dates are on time but should move quickly. Groups reaching out in March for the same dates will find fewer large-property options available.
March through April — Mid-range and small properties still available
By March, the largest properties for peak Senior Week dates are often reserved. Medium and smaller properties — Grey Goose One and Two, Shore Fun One, Bryant’s House — still have availability. Groups that haven’t booked by April should call Sea Aire immediately to find out what remains for their specific dates.
May — Last-minute availability only
May bookings for June Senior Week dates are possible but the selection is limited. Sea Aire will be honest about what’s available for your dates when you call. Last-minute groups sometimes find availability due to cancellations — calling directly is always worth it.
How to Book a Senior Week Beach House in North Myrtle Beach
Sea Aire handles all Senior Week bookings directly — no third-party platforms, no added service fees.

The Sea Aire team knows the Senior Week calendar and can tell you immediately which properties are available for your specific dates.
Before check-in, all groups complete the following forms, available at walktothebeach.com/forms:
- Responsibility Form — confirms the group’s awareness of house rules and policies
- Grantor Form — required for any group that includes guests under 18
- Group Listing Form — complete guest list for the property
- Guest and Vehicle List — required for parking and property access
Complete these before your arrival date. Sea Aire walks every group through the requirements at the time of booking.
What a Senior Week Beach House Costs in North Myrtle Beach
The per-person rental cost for a Senior Week beach house near Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach is determined almost entirely by group size. The larger the group, the lower the per-person share. A group of 30 splitting The Decoy pays substantially less per person than a group of 12 splitting the same property — which is why getting an accurate headcount before booking, and booking for your maximum expected size rather than your current confirmed count, matters more for Senior Week than for almost any other planning decision.
| Group Size | Recommended Property | Per-Person Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5–11 people | Bryant’s House, Grey Goose Two | Higher per-person rate | Small groups pay more per head — consider adding guests to lower the cost |
| 10–18 people | Ocean Breeze, Grey Goose One, Shore Fun One | Mid-range per-person rate | Sweet spot for most Senior Week friend groups |
| 18–30 people | The Morgan House, Shore Fun Two, Sea Aire Vacations | Lower per-person rate | Per-person savings increase meaningfully at this size |
| 30–40 people | The Decoy Condos, Sea Aire Vacations | Lowest per-person rate | Largest groups get the best economics on Ocean Drive |
Beyond the rental, a realistic Senior Week budget per person — covering the rental share, groceries stocked on arrival day at Boulineau’s Foods Plus at 700 Sea Mountain Highway, going out four to five nights, and one or two daytime activities — typically runs $400 to $700 for the week. Cooking breakfast and lunch at the house each day and going out three to four nights rather than every night keeps the total in the lower part of that range.

A Note for Parents Booking Senior Week Rentals
A significant portion of Senior Week rentals in North Myrtle Beach are arranged by parents booking on behalf of their graduating senior’s group — either as a graduation gift or to make sure the logistics are handled responsibly before the group arrives. Sea Aire works directly with parents on Senior Week bookings and can answer questions about house rules, occupancy policies, the required forms, and what the property includes.
A few things parents booking Senior Week rentals should know:
- All groups must complete the Responsibility Form, Group Listing Form, and Guest and Vehicle List before check-in. These are available at walktothebeach.com/forms.
- Groups that include guests under 18 must complete a Grantor Form in addition to the standard paperwork.
- Sea Aire’s house rules cover occupancy limits, noise, parking, and cleanliness. Reviewing these with the group before arrival — not on the day of check-in — makes the week go more smoothly for everyone.
- Sea Aire coordinates directly with a single booking contact. Parents booking for a group should designate that contact before reaching out, to keep the reservation process clear.
Call (800) 548-4551 or email seaaire@walktothebeach.com to discuss Senior Week rental options, dates, and what’s available for your group’s graduation week.
