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 its surrounding restaurants, such as 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 nearby include the waterfront community of Georgetown, the third-oldest city in South Carolina, and the second-largest seaport in the state. Historic Conway features a 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 a two-hour drive. It's a picturesque and exquisitely preserved southern city with antebellum architecture, cobblestone streets, and historical landmarks.

What a charming little cottage with the best view overlooking the marsh! One thing that caught me by surprise: housekeeping didn’t make the beds but did supply clean linens. First time I have ever had to make beds upon arrival when renting with Garden City Realty.
The home was well arranged and furnished for our Thanksgiving stay. The location was near restaurants and in close proximity to other family who live in the area. We were a short walk t the beach and the marsh was behind the home offering beautiful sunset views and various wildlife. We didn't cook, but enjoyed the coffee maker and efficient kitchen. Our only issue was with the TV in the main room that wouldn't maintain an internet connection, but the cable worked well. Thank you for such a good home. We would happily stay here again.

We really enjoyed our rental SEAcret Haven.Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, gorgeous view of the marsh, close to the beach and our family in Salter’s Cove.Appreciated the paper products left for us by Garden City Realty.The only shortcomings were no blankets ( it was chilly at night!) and the crispers in the refrig collected water. Otherwise it was a wonderful rental! for a small group.

Reviewer Comments:
For the most part it was nice. House was well maintained but small. Kitchen wasn't cleaned very well before our arrival so we had constant bug problems. The master shower area had no door or curtain of any kind so getting out after showering was tricky because there was always water all over the floor. No fans in any of the bedrooms meant that they were always hotter than the common areas. Master bed had no support/firmness so sleeping was uncomfortable for us.

This little house is so close to the beach and conveniently located to stores and restaurants. Nicely remodeled, stocked kitchen and fit our family perfectly. Needs some pest control control. Be prepared to put on your own bed linens. No beach towels provided but the full size washer and dryer are excellent to have.
