Vacation Rental Website Design for a Myrtle Beach Penthouse: Dunes Village Penthouse

Turning a Beachfront Investment into a Direct-Booking Brand

Dunes Village Penthouse is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath oceanfront penthouse that sleeps 8, inside Dunes Village Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, ranked #4 on TripAdvisor’s “Top 10 Family Destinations in the U.S.” We helped the owners name it, then designed a playful, family-friendly website with a built-in booking system so guests can reserve direct.

Dunes Village Penthouse direct booking website, designed by TAMARA & Co.

01 · A family penthouse inside one of Myrtle Beach’s top resorts

Who they are

Josh and Nicole own a penthouse at Dunes Village Resort, home to two indoor waterparks, a 250-foot lazy river, oceanfront pools and direct beach access. Families and groups come back for the ocean views from every room and the resort’s nonstop activities.

02 · A beachfront investment with no brand of its own

The challenge

The penthouse was booked through Airbnb, with no website, no name guests could search for and no way to book direct. The owners wanted their own brand: a site that sold the penthouse and the resort, and turned past guests into direct bookings without platform fees.

Tamara was great. After multiple web designers failed, She built a great website for our investment property. Very professional, very detailed oriented. She was timely and knowledgeable. We have multiple future projects and look forward to using Tamara again. So thankful we found her!
