Marriott's OceanWatch Villas is part of a 2,200-acre master planned community called Grande Dunes, which includes luxury residential homes, a Roger Rulewich Group-designed 18-hole golf course, a tennis center and the 405-room Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort.

"The South Carolina coast provides an excellent vacation destination and we are happy to add Myrtle Beach to our portfolio," said Stephen P. Weisz, president, Marriott Vacation Club International. "Together with owners at Marriott's OceanWatch Villas, those families who own elsewhere with Marriott can enjoy this resort's choice location in Grande Dunes."

Providing 1,157 square feet of living area, the spacious two-bedroom, two- bath villas accommodate up to eight guests and offer oversized private balconies, most with ocean views, as well as fully-equipped kitchens, separate living and dining areas, a television in each room and DVD in the living area, master suites with soaking tubs, washers and dryers. Prices currently average $24,000 per week of deeded ownership, depending on villa view and season purchased.
