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.
Whatever your desire, whatever your need, the Grand Strand offers something on everyone's to-do list. We have a variety of restaurants, retail stores, miniature golf, entertainment venues, charter fishing, water sports... and, of course, nothing but relaxation.

Pillows and quilts were stained . Dryer did not work. Long distance to walk to beach with little ones . No gas grill just little charcoal grill could not heat up enough to cook on. Would not recommend this place !!

We had another great year. The property was outstanding. Particularly noteworthy this year was the new fridge. It was great being so large.Two things to note. The trash pickup needs to be managed better. Both cans (all 3 actually when recycled circular can is included) were full upon arrival. Upon departure they all were nearly entirely full. We attempted to get most out Friday night.Second, the rental rate increases seem excessive. We reserved next year. It increases 10%. From last year to this year, without checking the exact numbers, it went up 5-10%. Roughly 17-20% increase in two years. Disappointed. I don't like writing it, but this does leave a bad taste. Please relay this to the owner. Thanks!

There were so many issues with our house that spoilt our vacation. We found large amounts of dog feces all over the unmowed lawn which we reported to the management company and was never removed. The king bed mattress was disgustingly stained all over. There were live hornets nests on the porch, the floors were filthy, even the rugs had to be taken outside as they were covered in filth and dog hair. The ceiling fans were covered in dust and the kitchen has old pot holders falling apart and stained. The porch furniture was falling apart and there were dog treats in the corner of the bedroom from the previous guests. No response from management regarding the bed pictures we sent them. We have plenty more pictures if anyone would like to see.

While there were a few small issues with the house, overall it was a great place for our family. The view of the Marsh was exceptional and we loved the pool. We were a large group of 16 family members ranging in age from 2 - 62, so the refrigerator was a little small but we made do. We did have an issue with the air conditioning one evening, but we called the rental agent and they sent out a technician that evening and he took care of the problem even though it was 10 pm! The house was exactly as the pictures portrayed and was clean and very comfortable.

We love the layout of the house with bedrooms to the front and living areas to the back overlooking the pool and the marsh. Perfect yard for having meals outside and playing games or just visiting with each other. We all love having the pool to cool off in after a day on the beach.
