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.

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.

We had a wonderful time at the Salty Dog house. We brought our 2 little terriers with us and spent most of our time on the awesome back covered porch. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to the Garden City pier and 5-15 minute drive to restaurants or attractions. This was our second year in this house and we’re making plans to come back next year again.

This is the 3rd year we’ve rented this house. It’s perfect for our family! The 2 dens are great—kids upstairs, adults downstairs. Would love to stay next year but have been told the owners are not renting it next season. We are very disappointed. If owners read this please reconsider.

This was our 4th year at the Salty Dog. The upgrades are fantastic! I would suggest a gate on the deck in order to keep small children and pets safe and also move the foot wash spigot to the middle deck level. A hose in the garage would be nice. We are SO VERY VERY SAD that this property is not available for our vacation in 6/2024!!

We stayed the week of Memorial Day. The beach was not crowded, which was great. Great location, very short drive to dining and grocery stores.There were a few minor issues with the house that we did not bother to report (lights out on porch, broken frig shelf.) The only issue we did report was that somehow the linens were not in the house. 45 minutes after my call they were delivered with apologies. So great service!The house was very clean and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. We had 11 people and everyone had plenty of room.

We gathered our whole immediate family to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, 3 generations, including our little frenchie dog ... perfect setting 24/7 , the grands are little, so very convenient, literally steps from waves, and best sandy beach area, flat, firm sand and easy to walk on.Submitted a couple issues to Garden City Realty (loose carpet, burned out lights) and they responded very quickly.
