The images and tours are provided to show the property's layout. Items, including furniture, décor, accessories, and bedding, may not be an exact representation. Additionally, Garden City Realty does not ensure these items are available as shown. This property may have video, audio or similar exterior surveillance equipment.

Conveniently located close to some of the best area attractions, Garden City Beach is directly south of Surfside Beach and ends on a peninsula at the mouth of Murrells Inlet. One of the most renowned attractions in Garden City Beach is the Pier at Garden City. Other points of interest include Marlin Quay Marina and restaurants Sara J's Seafood Restaurant, Gulfstream Café, and Original Sam's Corner.

Just south of Garden City Beach is Murrells Inlet, a seaside community considered the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina" and home to some of the nation's best golf courses. Once primarily a fishing village, the town is best known for the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, a half-mile-long boardwalk overlooking a pristine salt marsh, and the many award-winning restaurants along Highway 17 Business in the central business district.

Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve built on four former rice plantations, is located slightly south of the MarshWalk. It features several themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, trails through several nature reserve ecosystems, and the Lowcountry Zoo.

If you're looking for places to shop, The Market Common, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, two Tanger shopping outlets, Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade, and many more shopping facilities are all within an easy drive from Garden City Beach.

Looking for entertainment and attractions? Take in a show at Pirates Voyage, Medieval Times, Alabama Theater, The Carolina Opry, or Legends in Concert. Then visit SkyWheel Myrtle Beach, Ripley's Aquarium, WonderWorks, Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium, Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center, and The Pavilion Nostalgia Park.

Other points of interest close by include the waterfront community of Georgetown, the third oldest city in South Carolina and the second largest seaport in South Carolina, and historic Conway, with its downtown Riverwalk area nestled on the banks of the Waccamaw River. Both towns include fine dining, shopping, and historic sites.

Take a day trip to Charleston to experience shopping, a harbor cruise, a city carriage tour, or a plantation tour. Charleston is only 87 miles from Garden City Beach - approximately two hours. It's a picturesque and exquisitely preserved southern city with antebellum architecture, cobblestone streets, and historical landmarks.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Pier at Garden City. The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

October Beach Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: October finds my siblings, our spouses and I at the beach for a week. Time to regroup, rest, and reminisce about our childhood, life now, and Grandchildren. Our parents introduced the love of the surf to us as children, and when they were here with us we hauled them along with us. They have since passed and we have and will continue this tradition. It’s always a happy week with lots of love and laughter! We look forward to it every year. The mattresses definitely need to be replaced. We were all stiff by end of week from what is on the beds now. Loved everything else about the house. We stayed there in 2006. The kitchen was much better stocked then, anything you wanted to cook the appliances and cookware were there to do it with. That has depleted somewhat now - but we made it through the week easily. Cooked in all week to keep from being out and about in what I pray is an end of the Covid-19 pandemic. New mattresses would make this place just perfect. I hope to see that update next years property description!

GARDEN CITY REALTY IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Garden City Realty is the ONLY company to find your rental! We have rented from them about 12 or 13 times now. Every single person I've ever spoken to there is so sweet, helpful and makes you feel as if they truly want you to enjoy your stay. The house was completely spotless and well maintained. Could use new mattresses and new living room furniture. None of the chairs in the living room were usable because the springs were so worn out. The mattresses weren't very comfortable for the same reason. However the house itself was nice. Well stocked as far as kitchen appliances, utensils and dinner and glassware. Nice location. LOVED the covered back porch and the synthetic wood walkway (no spinters). We will definitely return and use Garden City Realty. I do wish I had know there was public beach access right beside the house with public parking. It made for a lot of people coming and going right beside the house all day. But not a huge problem. I just probably wouldn't have chosen that particular house had I known there was public parking right next door. At times it felt like we were in the movie Summer Rental. Lol

Great Location but doesn't feel clean

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was amazing. House is dated which is ok. However cleanliness of furniture and carpet were not clean. Especially after not being changed for 29 years. Less than comfortable beds also. The location and functionality made up for this however, will have seriously consider coming back. Also had a late check in for repairs.

Love Garden City.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The dishes and silverware were Discussding, dried food on plates, silverware was used and put back in drawer. I have rented with GCR for over 25 years with multiple family's and always stayed at surf master. I beleive the price on this rental is a bit high. We're thinking about coming back to Garden City in Sept. Dunes reality has more pet friendly houses.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time. We loved the location of the house and the quietness of it. This property was not located near other rental properties so the beach front was not busy at all. It was like our own private beach!!! One thought that we had was to call the people in charge of the public access nextdoor to the property and have them empty the port-o-potty. Everyday the wind would blow that odor up to the house and it was not a pleasant one. Other than that - it was a wonderful experience.

A Great Family Reunion

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A nice house in a great location. We enjoyed our week overall, even though the first level beds were not very comfortable. Also the cleaning service needs to pay closer attention to the bathtubs and shower doors. Our home address is Westminster, SC.
