Uncrowded Beachfront Getaway with an Ocean view

Enjoy our highly rated beachfront condo! See our 5-star reviews!

At Southpointe Villas you'll enjoy vacation days in an intimate setting with a spacious beach and the feel of privacy and seclusion. For the perfect getaway, the complex offers comfort and value with an oceanfront pool and dune walkway.

Southpointe Villas is a small complex with only 24 units, so the communal areas are normally uncrowded. Located toward the South end of the Peninsula, the spacious complex has minimal road noise. Public access to the beach in front of the complex is very limited, making this stretch of beach unusually uncrowded as well.

Southpointe Villas is located 2.4 miles south of the Garden City Pier. The complex is within walking distance from two great restaurants at Marlin Quay Marina. The condo complex and parking lot are gated.

Linens and bath towels are included with the booking. We provide limited toilet paper, paper towels and dish detergent. You only need to bring your beach items and towels.

Shade awnings are allowed on the beach here in Georgetown County, unlike further North in Myrtle Beach (Horry County). The beach and dunes are home to turtles, foxes and wide variety of marine birds. The Garden City Pier, Murrell's Inlet Marshwalk, shopping, restaurants and fun activities are only minutes away.

Unit #11 welcomes you and your loved ones to create priceless vacation memories year-round. The summer months are for relaxing on the beach, swimming in the surf and lounging by the oceanside pool (open Easter to November 1). During the off-peak months, #11 provides a great setting for your golf or fishing trip, friends get-away, or romantic weekend.

Unit #11 is located on the third floor and has views of the inlet, Garden City coastline and the ocean. The balcony is on the Northeast side of the complex, offering afternoon shade while enjoying some of the best views at Southpointe Villas. Access to the unit is via open stairways at both ends of the complex - there is no elevator at Southpointe Villas.

The third floor has only two other units available for rent, so it offers the most quiet, private location at Southpointe Villas.

Complex amenities include coin-operated laundry onsite, a grilling area, and gated parking. One parking permit is issued per condo unit. Motorcycles are allowed.

The HOA enforces the following rules for renters:
- No recreational vehicles
- No golf carts or trailers
- No parties or events
- No pets
- No smoking of any kind is permitted anywhere in the unit or on the balcony.

This unit was remodeled in 2021. The bedding and linens are all new. The unit has new ceiling lights/fans, window coverings. For you night owls who like to sleep in, all windows have blackout curtains.

There is new furniture throughout, except for the dressers and guest bunk bed frame, which are either freshly painted or in excellent condition. The unit has cable TV and high-speed wifi. There are three flat screen TVs located in the living room, master and guest bedrooms.

We update furnishings as needed, so some photos may show a different throw pillow or wall hanging. In February 2025 we replaced the flooring in the guest bathroom. In February 2026 we replaced paneling in the living room/kitchen area and the master bedroom.

The guest bedroom (sleeps three) has a bunk bed with a twin on top and a double below, plus a separate double bed. The living room has a trundle bed sofa (sleeps two), lounge chair and coffee table.

Check-in Procedure:
A week before check-in, guests are provided a property description flyer, with packing suggestions.
The front door lock is keyless. Guests are sent the door code the day of check-in, after the house keeper is finished cleaning.

This year we have changed cleaning services and no longer ask guests to manage dirty linens or towels.

Check-out Procedure:
1. Load and start dishwasher (you don’t have to put clean dishes away).
2. Leave nothing behind that you brought with you – remove food, trash, etc.
3. Lock and close the front door when you leave.

We do not make a profit on the cleaning service - we charge only enough to recover our actual cleaning and linen costs.

Corrections to VRBO's description of nearby attractions:
1. VRBO lists a "Murrells Inlet Beach", which we've not been able to locate as an actual public attraction. Murrells Inlet Marshwalk starts at Bovine's Restaurant at 3979 Bus US-17. It is a 16 minute drive from our condo, not 3 min.
2. There currently is no open waterpark close by. Wild Water and Wheels in Surfside no longer exists. The nearest water park is in Myrtle Beach and the hours are seasonal.
