18th and 19th century records of the local estate houses associate Myrtleville House with the Daunt family.^[4][5] One of the other waterfront properties, Bunnyconnellan, developed around a cottage from 1824, operated for several decades as a restaurant, bar and a hotel^[6] until its closure in 2022.^[7] County development plans, including from the 1990s,^[8] allowed the building of modern houses with limitations ensuring the protection of the village's character, such as only allowing one-storey houses plus attic. Crosshaven rugby club has its sports ground at the top of Myrtleville hill.

The beach at Myrtleville is used by swimmers all year round,^[9] with frequent fundraising swims organized.^[10][11]
