By the early 1960’s the likes of the traveling public were beginning to change. Rather than the traditional guesthouse atmosphere, vacationers preferred a more modern type of accommodation.
In 1962 the property was sold and was to be torn down and replaced with a high-rise motel. At the time, however, financing was in short supply forcing a postponement of these plans. While waiting for the financial picture to brighten, the owners decided to operate the building as a restaurant. This planned year or two of waiting has turned into over 50 years.
Over the years many have crossed the portals of the Sea Captain’s House, enjoyed the superb dining, ocean view and warm southern hospitality that the Sea Captain’s House offers. To this day, it is still known as the place for seafood where friends meet year after year.
Your visit to Myrtle Beach is not complete without a trip to the Sea Captain’s House!
