About this property

6 bedroom-5.5 bathrooms in the heart of Garden City Beach and Heated Pool

The Sandcastle is one of the largest houses on the Garden City Beach peninsula. Equipped with an elevator, in ground pool and 5500 sqft of space inside the house, you'll understand how this beauty got its name. There are two living rooms in the house and 6 bedrooms total, each having a bathroom attached to it.

* WE SUPPLY ALL LINENS, BATH AND BEACH TOWELS*
A lot of the greedy rental agencies will make you rent Linens and towels. We don't believe in nickel and diming our guests.

Enjoy the sunrise over the ocean with your morning coffee from the front deck and sunset cocktails over the Marsh from the back deck!

Located between Yucca and Cedar ave Beach access, beach views and listening to the wonderful ocean sounds and breezes are just a few perks of staying at this awesome beach house!

Some other things you can do near the house is to
rent a golf cart a few blocks away or stroll along the beautiful Garden City Beaches. You can also rent a jet ski, go parasailing or deep sea fishing out of Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, take an evening sunset cruise or simply head to the beach on southern end of this unique peninsula and spend the day watching the boats travel in and out of the Inlet. You may just be lucky enough to see dolphins playing in the water and and occasional SeaTurtle swim by!

Make your summer memories at The Sandcastle !

*There is NO EXTRA CHARGE for heating the pool. Outside temperature must be at least 50 degrees for the pool heater to be turned on.

We had the absolute best time at Karl’s vacation house! We were a group of 12 adults and 6 kids and there was plenty of room for everyone and we never felt on top of eachother. The location was perfect with beach access just diagonally across the street. The pool was so refreshing and great after a Long Beach day. We had a minor issue with a leak and Karl responded immediately and sent over their maintenance person who repaired the problem instantly. We would vacation here again if given the chance!!!

The house was perfect for our family group, everybody had enough space. The location was awesome right next to the beach, and the pool added another layer of fun! We rented a golf cart and E bikes for the week, which everyone enjoyed. Karl, the owner could not have been more helpful and responsive to every need. He is an exceptional host! We highly recommend this house for your getaway!
