Beautifully furnished and recently remodeled, our oceanview condo is the perfect place for you and your family. Located on the second row in Garden City, this condo is the perfect place to sit on the balcony and enjoy the lovely sea air and the sound of the waves. The Atlantic Ocean just across the street is easily accessible for a day of fun in the sun. Just five blocks south is the Garden City pier where Dad can fish, the kids can enjoy the arcade and everyone can enjoy the live music. Our onsite swimming pool is the perfect place to spend the end of the day when you’re tired of the beach.

A short 10-minute drive away is the Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk - the home to several award-winning restaurants, water sports and deep sea fishing. If you are interested in golfing, the Grand Strand area is the place to be! Several award winning golf courses are within a short drive of our condo.

Our one bedroom condo has two Queen size beds and a Queen size pull out couch. We have recently (completed in January 2012) remodeled the kitchen/living room and bedroom having installed new countertops, cabinets, flooring and furniture as well as repainting the entire condo. Our complex has recently expanded the pool area with a new vinyl fence and landscaping. Our condo is located on the third floor with beautiful sunset views of the magnificent Murrells Inlet marsh from the front door.

Local activities include golf, mini golf, live musical shows, state parks, shopping, swimming, beach, surfing, deep sea fishing, parasailing, kayaking, banana boats, piers and amusement parks.

                            The condo had been newly remodeled and was extremely clean. Location is great for access to the beach and eazy walking distance to the pier.

                            Recommended for: Adventure seekers.

                            Owner response: Yes, we are only 6/10th of a mile north of the Garden City pier and just across the street from the beach. Hope to see you again in the future!

                            What a fabulous condo. Very clean and decorated beautifully. Very well maintained and updated. We will definitely stay here again. I have stayed all over Garden City, Surfside and Ocean Lakes over the years and this was by far the best ever. It is small but feels very large and open. I would highly recommend this place.

                            Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children.

                            Owner response: So glad you enjoyed it! Whispering Sands is a great location - walking distance to the Pier, just a few steps to the beach and no more than 3 or 4 miles from the beautiful Murrells Inlet Marshwalk and their many restaurants. I do hope that you will visit us again - maybe during "parent's week"???

                            Excerpt from guest book: Thank you for sharing your lovely condo with us. It was a very nice time here at Garden City Beach. The condo is very cute, up to date and clean. It was very close walk to the beach. We had no complaints with our stay. We did enjoy walking to the pier and listening to the bands play at night. Overall, a very nice and affordable vacation! Thank you!!

                            Excerpt from our guestbook: We have been staying at Whispering Sands for the past 17 years. Have stayed at all three sections and this is by far the nicest unit. Garden City is a great place for families to come to the beach to have fun or just plain relax. Thank you for letting us stay at your place. Looking forward to staying time and time again.

                            Owner response: So glad you had a good time! Yes, the pool is nice, especially for the kids and it's wonderful to be able to enjoy the fireworks without having to leave the condo. I do hope that you and your girls will come back. Thanks!

                            We gave this trip to our daughters for their college graduation. It's the first time they've vacationed without us. They had a wonderful time!! The condo was GREAT. It was clean and convenient to lots of places around Garden City. We love the area and always stay there. We didn't worry about a thing, Ms. Sweeney took care of everything they would need. She emailed directions to the condo and to various stores and resturants. They will definitely be back and have told all their friends about it. Thanks again for letting them stay in your condo.

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

                            Owner response: As you can see, our condo is perfect for the young traveler. We are within a short walk to the Garden City Pier and not far from wonderful restaurants. I was a little concerned about renting to under-25 year olds, but took the chance after speaking with their mother and being assured that the girls were responsible - I couldn't have asked for better tenants! I do hope that the girls will return - they are welcome anytime.

                            This place is a deal! This is the kind of place we keep coming to VRBO to get. Caring owners you deal with directly, and the ability to find a good place for a good price. This place is just across the street from beach access, and a short walk to the pier and shops. The grocery store, walmart, the mall, and restaurants are a very short drive away. The kitchen has all new appliances and is well stocked, the condo and the whole property was clean and maintained. It has been recently remodeled, it wasn't just a cheap coat of paint remodel either, the whole kitchen, all the flooring; it is beautiful. The pool is well maintained. It is on the third floor, which is really up 4 flights of steps, because it is on stilts, but it's worth it once you get up there because it is really nice inside. Marilyn is very helpful and there is a lot of great information about the area in the condo. Skip the corporate chain pizza and do yourself a favor by getting pizza from the Causeway Pizza. It was great! Also, we got a lot of great fish and shellfish from Seven Seas Fish Market. We loved Garden City and this condo and hope to be able to come back soon!

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

                            Owner response: Even being a "local" I didn't know about Causeway Pizza - that's something I'll have to try and make sure I get a menu for the condo. So glad you enjoyed our new kitchen preparing your seafood meals. Looks like I have a VERY satisfied customer and one I hope to see in the future for many years.

                          About the owner: Having lived in several locations across the United States, we have chosen the Myrtle Beach area in which to retire. We have fallen in love with the Murrells Inlet area and enjoy all that the area has to offer, no matter what the season.

                          Why the Owner Chose Garden City Beach:
                          Garden City is a wonderful family beach and our condo is a fantastic place to bring your family. The kids can enjoy the beach AND the pool, Dad can enjoy the many golf courses and Mom can relax on the beach and then enjoy a wonderful dinner and stroll along the beach or Marsh Walk.
