About this property

Close to Shakes with Amazing Views of the Lake!

Myrtle's Beach House is the perfect house in the perfect location! There are stunning views of the lake from the large deck and from every floor of the house. Located just a block off the walking trail, you can walk to the beach, or downtown to get a raspberry shake. Walk down the trail to the public beach off the city park, or the beach off the marina. Easy access to Rendezvous Beach and North Beach.

This house is perfectly set up for a large group. There are 7 large bedrooms, 4 bathrooms AND a loft room with 8 beds and lots of room to play. Two family rooms and a kitchenette in the basement gives you plenty of room to hang out.
The kitchen table seats 8, plus 4 at the bar. Three picnic tables on the deck seat an additional 24.

The yard is a full 1/2 acre, with tons to do! Play a game of volleyball on the professional net, play on the play structure, enjoy the hot tub or make some s'mores around the large gas fire pit (seats 16). This is one of the nicest, largest yards in Garden City - so much outdoor fun!

There are 4 beach cruisers, two kayaks and two paddle boards in the garage which guests are welcome to use. When you're ready to go inside there is a speaker system, just plug in your iPod and enjoy! Free super fast WiFi, TVs in both family rooms, the master bedroom and basement bedroom. A tankless hot water heater means you don't have to rush back from the lake to get a hot shower!

We have been renting homes in Garden City for our family of 31 for years and we finally bought the house that we would want to rent! We know you will love it as much as we do.

Wonderful place to host a family reunion with plenty of rooms for our group. We loved having the large outdoor space and firepit; we were out there every evening! It was also so nice to have kayaks and paddle boards to use at the beach. Fantastic house that we’d love to stay in again!

The property was wonderful! The house was tidy, spacious, and the prefect space for our family reunion. It is close to the beach and easy to access. We missed the swings on the back porch that are in the photos, but this is a spot we would love to go to again.

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It had all you needed in the kitchen for a large family. The extras in the garage were appreciated as the kids use them most every day. The large lawn, the swingset and fire pit all were enjoyable. We had a wonderful time during our stay. Thank you so much.

Fun Family Getaway

We enjoyed gathering our children and grandchildren and having enough space and bedding for all of us to stay at this house. It was clean, comfortable, and close to town and the marina. Our family really enjoyed the fun backyard with all the activities it offered, and the fire pit was enjoyed as well! Great hosts answered all of our questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family (ages 3 to 84!) had a wonderful stay at Myrtle's Beach House. Finding a home that comfortably accommodates a large group isn't easy, but this one was perfect. Everyone had room to spread out, yet there were great spaces to gather for cards, board games, movies, meals, and conversation.The location was wonderful. Even in a neighborhood, it felt secluded, and the lake views from the deck were beautiful. Morning coffee overlooking the water instantly became a favorite.One standout was the kitchen. Everything was labeled! It may seem like a small detail, but with a large family cooking together, it made meal prep and cleanup nearly effortless. The large kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and pantry space. The double oven was also convenient!The big yard gave the kids room to play while the adults relaxed nearby. We made great use of the hot tub, volleyball net, kayaks, and paddle boards.This home is well designed for large groups. The roomy bedrooms, loft, and multiple family rooms gave everyone a comfortable place to sleep as well as gather. We especially loved the pull-out trundle beds. They gave space for the younger cousins to have their own "sleepovers" while still having beds of their own.Instructions for check-in & out were clear and easy.After renting places for our annual family vacation the last few years, this one is at the top of our list. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home; we would love to stay here again!

BEST large group VRBO in Garden City

This home is the PERFECT location for a large family gathering at Bear Lake. The house was very comfortable and clean and has plenty of room. Plus they have sporting equipment (kayaks, bicycles, badminton court and rackets. We enjoyed the outdoor fire-it for evening relaxing and the kids made s'mores. The owner, Dana, was communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Family Reunion

The property offered a great location, close to beaches and restaurants. Rendezvous Beach was the family favorite just 12 minute drive from the house. Best part was a large deck, patio, and yard that kept the young ones outside and having old fashion fun instead of in the house watching TV and playing video games. Even the parents put their phones down for long periods of time. Great time!

Great house and location!

The house is the perfect size for our group of 22. The kids enjoyed all the amenities it had to offer and the parents were grateful for that! The bikes and playstation were a hit. The listing says it can fit 39 but in my opinion 20 to 25 people is the perfect amount. The kitchen and counterspace was a bit small for preparing for such a large group but we made it work. The pantry was great for keeping everything off the counter. Great house and great location!

We had a wonderful time! The kids and adults all loved the variety of entertainment options...badminton, ping pong, playset, video games, movies and lots of space to run and play. Having gathering areas upstairs, downstairs and outside allowed us to have different kinds of activities in different areas. We enjoyed a talent show around the barbecue pot, stories on the main floor and more upbeat family time in the basement. As organizer, I was especially grateful for 2 fridges, lots of pantry space and even a small fridge that we dedicated to anytime snacks. The cousins had a great time sleeping together in the loft area and we had enough bedrooms that each family could escape to their own space when needed. Beautiful home and area!

About the host

Hosted by Dana Conway

Host profile image

I have been coming to Bear Lake with my grandma, Muriel "Myrtle" and our extended family since I was a little girl. I introduced my husband to this beautiful lake and we have been bringing our family here since we first got married. We LOVE Bear Lake and I have always wanted to own a home here. When we bought this house we knew we would name it after the woman who started it all - my grandma Myrtle.

Why they chose this property

1. VIEWS. There are gorgeous views of the lake from the large deck and from every window on the eastside of the house.
2. LOCATION. The house is just a few blocks from the walking/biking path that runs through Garden City. It is an easy walk/bike ride to town for shakes or to the public beach access at the city park.
3. ROOMS. With 7 bedrooms there are plenty of rooms for smaller family groups to have their own rooms and the loft is great place for the kids to hang out and sleep.
4. YARD. The 1/2 acre yard gives you and your group plenty of room to play and gathering around the large fire pit is the perfect way to end the day.
5. WELL APPOINTED. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a large group needs. The furniture, bedding and towels are all new.
