About this house rental
The Fran-Ma-Ray, a wonderful ocean front family beach house on the beautiful beach of Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach, is available for year-round rental. The Fran-Ma-Ray has the delightful and comfortable atmosphere of an old-style beach house, but with many modern conveniences.
The Fran-Ma-Ray, located at 821 South Ocean Boulevard of North Myrtle Beach, has been owned by the same family since it was built in 1939. After extensive damage during Hurricane Hazel in 1954, the Fran-Ma-Ray was rebuilt in 1955. It has been enjoyed by many family and friends since that time. In 2009-2010, The Fran-Ma-Ray underwent still another extensive remodeling. The updates include a new open front deck and five sets of new French doors in the living area which open up a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean. While the house now features many modern updates and additions (including central heat and air-conditioning, washer and dryer, cable TV, internet access and ceiling fans throughout), the original knotty-pine paneled and hardwood floors heart of the house has been retained and provides the nostalgic feel of an old-style beach house.
The Fran-Ma-Ray features all the comfort and convenience a vacationer could want with the Atlantic Ocean right outside your front door. Everything from the excitement of Myrtle Beach entertainment to the quiet of sitting and rocking on the front porch and watching the waves. The Fran-Ma-Ray offers it all!
For a little extra room, we also have Ginger's Place located on the same property just behind the Fran-Ma-Ray which has just been completely renovated and is a beautifully appointed 600 sq.ft. studio apartment. Please see VRBO listing #1316925 for more information.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope you will enjoy our beach house as much as four generations of the Smith family and friends have over the last 70 years.

Clean and perfect for us on our annual golf trip.

The house was perfect for our family! The layout was great and provided ample space for us to all spend time together comfortably. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, pans, and utensils, and having a grill to cook out on was great. The porch was amazing! There were multiple rocking chairs facing the beach that were perfect for reading or just relaxing. The location was excellent, close to shopping, entertainment, and restaurants. On-site parking was great. The owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, home away from home!

We had a great time at the Fran-Ma-Ray! Beautiful beach house just steps to the beach. Loved having our coffee and afternoon wine on the porch. The beds were all super comfortable and the house is set up perfectly for multiple families!

There were nine of us celebrating my niece’s graduation from the University of South Carolina. We had plenty of space to spread out and there just happened to be nine rocking chairs to enjoy our coffee in the morning and our cocktails in the evening. We loved our view of the dune grass, sand and ocean as we sipped our beverages and enjoyed delicious food prepared in the very well-equipped kitchen. Eating breakfast and dinner on the two large picnic tables on the deck was so much fun! The house was close to everything, including an awesome used bookstore next to Kroeger. Blue tooth speakers in the living room were an added bonus. We did a huge Instant Cart order from Publix that was delivered within two hours of arriving. Best decision ever. Fun, fun week with family in the perfect house for us to relax in....
