5000 N Ocean Blvd

Finestere is a small oceanfront condominium completed in 1978 and organized as a low-rise block of 24 units serving mainly two-bedroom, two-bath layouts. The structure sits directly on the Grand Strand with ground-level construction that yields several true first- and second-floor residences requiring only one short stairway rather than elevators. Architecturally it is straightforward coastal vernacular: recent exterior renovations (new siding, balconies, storm-rated windows and roof completed 2019–2020) refreshed the façade while preserving a modest, beach-resort character. Interiors typically feature open living/dining plans, eat-in kitchens with solid-surface or granite counters, laminate or luxury vinyl plank floors, ceiling fans, walk-in closets and in-unit laundry or stacked wash/dry connections. Private outdoor space is standard in the form of covered balconies or decks with direct ocean or pool views. Common areas emphasize outdoor recreation: an oversized oceanfront sun deck and a deep resort-style pool with paver surround, plus ground-floor storage for beach gear. Onsite parking is surface-level, and the HOA package commonly covers cable, insurance, water/sewer, trash, pest control and internet. The building’s Cherry Grove setting places it a short walk from boat landings, nature paths, fishing pier and local restaurants, supporting year-round rentals and seasonal vacation use.
