About this property
Luxury 8BR WATERFRONT Retreat w/ Heated Pool & Private Dock
Surrounded by OCEAN, INLET & CREEK, this luxury vacation home is personally owned managed with professionalism & integrity. My top priority is providing a 5-STAR experience with every stay, so you can count on excellent communication and thorough anticipation of all your needs any time of year. While this home is best suited for weekly family vacations, I do consider reservation requests from mature and respectful groups willing to uphold our House Rules & family-friendly values.
Right on the water with its very own dock, this "Sweet Escape" is perfectly positioned right between the Murrells Inlet Canal in back and Atlantic Ocean (just 120 meters away) in front! The ocean views from the front porch, and inlet in back, are sure to take your breath away. You won’t have to worry about overcrowded beaches or obstructed views here because there isn’t a high rise in sight! Garden City Beach is just a few miles from the Myrtle Beach Airport, and a short drive from all Myrtle Beach has to offer!
*POOL HEATING CAN BE ADDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE*
This private single family home is divided into two levels, connected by exterior staircases in front & back, accommodating 12 people on each floor. The first floor level houses the main living space with a beautiful fully equipped kitchen, living area, 4 beautifully decorated bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. • Fully Equipped Kitchen • Open Dining and Living Space • 4 Bedrooms • 3.5 Bathrooms • Front & Back Porch Access
The ground floor level features a private flex room that can be used for media den, or an 8th bedroom with a convertible futon and rollaway bed! On this level you will also find a kitchenette and game room sure to entertain the whole family! • Kitchenette • Gameroom • 3 Bedrooms • 1 Flex Room • 2 Full Bathrooms • Patio Access
But the BIGGEST reason you are sure to LOVE this Sweet Escape is the backyard. BREATH TAKING is an UNDERSTATEMENT! Your whole family will enjoy spending time on the spacious back porch, by the oversized SALT WATER POOL, fishing off the dock, grilling on the barbecue, sitting by the fire pit, or even playing basketball on our very own court!! I always look forward to hearing about the great memories created here.
INLET ACCESS: located right on the Murrells Inlet Canal with private dock in back BEACH ACCESS: 3rd row beachfront, 100m from beach separated by 2 rows of home/streets
LINEN PACKAGE: is included in "host fees" providing bed sheets, bath towels, washcloths, hand towels, small bars of soap, one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, and a trash bag in each trashcan.

It is always my intention to provide a 5-STAR experience, so you can count on excellent communication and thorough anticipation of all your needs. I live right down the street, so am readily available for anything you may need during your stay!

A great stay at a beautiful home. Plenty of space for all guests, everything we needed was available, the pool was perfect, and the beach just a short walk away. Do not hesitate to book this one!
Great homebase for golf in Pawleys/Murrells Inlet area
We used the property in late September for our annual golf trip and had a great time. The owner repeatedly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind review! Hope to have you back again soon :)
This house and location was perfect. The owner was also amazing during the entire stay as tropical storm Debby was approaching. Would definitely return.
We stayed here with my whole family during the week between Christmas and New Years and it was a great place to stay….clean, nice layout, nice location, lots of room. Very nice experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anchored Down. Loved the location and spaciousness of the house. The backyard was a hit with the pool, fire pit and all the lounge areas. Would definitely go back in a heartbeat.

Thanks Chris! I look forward to having you back :)
This property exceeded our expectations in every way! Our group ranged from ages 4 to 63 and everyone had a blast from swimming to fishing, playing basketball to going to the beach and best of all just hanging out in many of the areas on the property!
Best family vacation ever!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind review, Kathryn! I'm so thankful your family enjoyed their stay :) ~Angie, SweetEscapesMB
Our family of 10 had a great time on vacation, and this place had a lot to do with that. Comfortable, clean, well equipped (except I do wish there were beach towels), and conveniently located. Thank you.
Just returned from a golf trip of 12, and house was great. Plenty of room and activities. Tons of outdoor seating to enjoy the channel, pool, and beautiful weather. A bit away from everything as it’s at end of Inlet, but quiet and no traffic.
Great family of 17 experience. I only wished the check-in was earlier than 4 pm.

Thank you for your review Brenda! We use every single minute of the 6 hour turnover time to make sure the house is squeaky clean and good as new for the next stay! Hope to see you again :)
We visited this property just days after hurricane Ian. Angie was extremely helpful and communicated with us before and during our stay and made sure the property was ready for us. We came with a large group adults and had more than enough space for everyone. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the kind review, Christie! Would love to host your family again some day :)
We had a great week! Loved the backyard space- our teens and kids were constantly in the pool, playing basketball or kayaking. We even caught a couple of crabs off the dock. The beach access was so easy to get to! We would definitely come back to this house.
This is a great property. The house is beautiful and spacious and offers plenty of room to "spread out" for large groups (and also a ton of parking!). The pool was sparkling clean, and the close proximity to the beach was a definite plus. The owner was great to work with throughout the process. I'd highly recommend this property.
We had an awesome week. The house was perfect for our family. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the short walk to the beach. We had such nice weather that we were able to roast marshmallows in the fire pit and didn't burnup. Great house.

About the host
Hosted by Angie Harrison
I've managed personal rental property since 2011 and absolutely LOVE it. I’m so thankful to live my life here in Sunny Surfside Beach, SC. I like to bike, kayak, paddleboard and practice yoga on the beach anytime I get the chance! I teamed up with my Dad to manage the "House of the Rising Son" (VRBO #1118668), and with my son to manage "Anchored Down" in 2020. We look forward to the possibility of adding more homes to our Sweet Escapes Vacation Home Rental Collection in the future!
Why they chose this property
We looked at properties for months to find the perfect compliment to our vacation home, "House of the Rising Son". I knew immediately "Anchored Down" would be perfect for our guests and their families! The interior needed a little TLC, but we knew nothing could beat that location and backyard on the Inlet Creek!
What makes this property unique
Ocean view from the front 100m away, and inlet canal in back.. this house is positioned perfectly to experience the best Myrtle Beach has to offer! Our home is personally owned and operated with professionalism & loving care. I live local, so am readily available for anything you may need during your stay! ~Angie
