Carolina Forest has become a very popular Myrtle Beach area to live. Technically, Carolina Forest is a census-designated place vs a city or town, and an area west of the Intracoastal Waterway between Highway 501 and International Drive. Carolina Forest is an extremely convenient area for travel to other parts of the Grand Strand, with Highways 501, 31, 22 and 17 just minutes away. Merrill Villas is located in the heart of Carolina Forest.
