The images and tours are provided to show the property's layout. Items, including furniture, décor, accessories, and bedding, may not be an exact representation. Additionally, Garden City Realty does not ensure these items are available as shown. This property may have video, audio or similar exterior surveillance equipment.

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 restaurants 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 close by include the waterfront community of Georgetown, the third oldest city in South Carolina and the second largest seaport in South Carolina, and historic Conway, with its 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 two hours. It's a picturesque and exquisitely preserved southern city with antebellum architecture, cobblestone streets, and historical landmarks.

Whatever your desire, whatever your need, the Grand Strand offers something on everyone's to-do list. We have a variety of restaurants, retail stores, miniature golf, entertainment venues, charter fishing, water sports... and, of course, nothing but relaxation.

Great Week at Murrell's Inlet

We had great week staying in this beautiful house directly across street from path to beach. House was comfortable and spacious enough for everyone to spread out. Kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. Very enjoyable beach week!

Starboard review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice. Having the kitchen and living area 2 flights up was a draw back for me, especially when bringing groceries in.

Just not for my group

If I would have seen the floor plan of the house, I probably would not have rented it. The majority of our supplies had to be carried up two flights of stairs. My group of ladies were not young and the stairs were too much. I looked forward to go to the beach, but that meant two flights of stairs down and two flights of stairs up. The house lacked storage for things like coolers, boxes, etc. It would have been nice to have a storage closet for these items. The lighting was limited in the living room. It was dark when we tried to read material. There was little storage in the bathrooms and no place to put your suitcase except on the floor. It would have been nice to have more "senior" equipment in the bathroom. Perhaps a handicap rail beside the toilets and benches in the showers. One room didn't have a lightbulb in the lamp. Maybe an elevator would have made a positive difference.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in this beautiful beach home. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses and silverware. I think a house that sleeps this many could really use a 2nd refrigerator. The location was great!! Directly across the street from beach access. The community pool is steps away.

Satisfactory

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family enjoyed our stay at Starboard. The bedrooms, kitchen and living areas certainly met our needs. The community pool is lovely and the house location is very nice. The beach access is literally right across the road. We did a lot of cooking during our stay and the kitchen had everything we needed. The enclosed garage area was appreciated from a security and storage standpoint.My only gripe is that the layout of the house is a little different as there are several bedrooms on the first floor and then the main living area and kitchen are on the second floor so you do a lot of stair-packing with groceries. Parking space is also very limited, especially if you drive larger trucks or SUVs that won't fit into the garage. Overall, our stay was very satisfactory and we'd consider renting this property again.

Fall Break Fun!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Starboard for my family during my grandkids Fall Break. We had to delay our trip a day because of Hurricane Ian and a sizable storm surge. Garden City Realty was amazing as we were trying to check in. They communicated by email and phone several times a day to keep us informed as to when we could get into Starboard. The storm surge knocked out the Internet/cable and maintenance was so prompt in getting it fixed. Starboard is a wonderful home! We had 6 kids and 5 adults and there was plenty of room. The home is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The bonus living room upstairs off the bedroom was an added extra! Beach access is very convenient, just across the street. You can see the ocean from the porch balconies. We loved staying at Starboard!

The coffee maker needs replaced. Overall it was a great experience and we would definitely stay again.

Very nice stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great second row house, directly across from public beach access. Loved this section of the beach as it was mostly just the other people renting along that strip, so not nearly as busy as closer to Myrtle. Plenty of space for our party of 12. Everything was pretty clean when we arrived, except for the two coffee pots that were there. The floors probably could've used a bit more of a scrub, but it's hard to expect a beach house floors to be spotless, so it wasn't that big of a deal. Would have been nice to have a few more basic necessities such as dish soap, salt and pepper, maybe a few more kitchen items, but overall was just what we needed.

GREAT VACATION

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed out stat here very much! It met the needs for our vacation and was a very convenient location. The public access was directly in front of the house so it was quick and easy access to the house. The only thing I would say is that the beds could have been a little more comfortable. Seem to be worn and could use some new mattresses but overall, a great house! Was clean and had everything we needed!

Happy New Year's Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is exactly as described and provided the perfect getaway for 3 families! Plenty of room, well-stocked kitchen, and a great location!! The bedrooms are good sized and the bedding is comfortable. Common spaces provide ample room for multiple groups and conversations. The garage space saved our rainy weekend with room enough to play cornhole and hang out. With the weather, we had limited beach time but the access is directly across the street. There are several steps involved, though, so might not be the easiest if you have a bunch of beach items during the summer.We had an issue with the ice maker and maintenance responded promptly. They were unable to repair it but we were offered reimbursement for our ice purchases. Honestly, the ice maker would not be sufficient for a large group anyway so we didn’t take them up on the offer, though it was appreciated. A stand-alone icemaker (and maybe a second refrigerator) would make this home totally perfect! Highly recommend!!!

Lovely, spacious home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived we were told our rental had a maintenance problem and were offered this home in exchange. The staff was wonderful to work with and very helpful. The house was very nice and so close to the beach. The garage was a great convenience. Overall, though, the house should have been much cleaner. The quilts on all the beds were dirty. The laundry area had lots of sand in front of the machines and generally not clean. The landing at the top of the stairs from the garage (walls, ceiling, window) was very dirty with many spider webs, bugs and dirt. False eyelashes were found on the pillow in the master bedroom. Spider webs in bathrooms, the banisters - especially around newel posts - were very dirty and the stove top was not clean. We usually leave homes cleaner than they were when we got there, but this one truly needed to be cleaner when we arrived. We truly appreciated the quick replacement location and overall had a wonderful stay, but the housekeeping needed improvement.

The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed for food prep. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable week. We needed a pool for two youngsters and the community pool was perfect. We would rent this house again with no reservation. A number of our folks went deep sea fishing and theMarlin Quay was close. The Arcade, water park,and puttputt golf were conveneiently located

The parking was a bit limiting, especially because we all had large SUV’s. The staff at Garden City Realty was very friendly and accommodating. Of course, there were minor housekeeping issues, but none that could not be easily corrected.

Booted out early

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was able to enjoy first few days of vacation, prior to mandatory evacuation, with other family members, who traveled from Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee, for our yearly shared vacation. We have rented from several rental agencies, but most pleased with Garden Realty's rentals and especially rentals in Murrells Inlet. Due to pending storm we all arrived running and we were able to still do some of the activities we enjoy doing in MB. Sad to have to leave early, but took more great memories of MB home with us. Always plenty to do and see when our family members meet in MB. We'll see you again next year.
