Picture this: eighteen of your favorite people, the whole crew finally in one place — saltwater pool glowing, putting green steps away, and the ocean literally across the street. Welcome to The Bumm'Inn, Garden City Beach's ultimate group escape. Heated pool, kiddie pool, game room with arcade and foosball, shuffleboard — and the Atlantic just steps away. This is where your group trip becomes a memory.
ABOUT THIS SPACE
The Bumm'Inn is a three-story, second-row beach house built for a crowd. Six bedrooms, 6.5 baths, and a full outdoor entertainment compound that sets this property apart from anything else in Garden City Beach.
Outdoor:
Your private heated saltwater pool takes center stage — 8 lounge chairs, a palapa shade structure with palm trees, and a kiddie pool for the littlest guests. The outdoor kitchen area seats 6 at the table plus 4 at the bar. Fire up the BBQ grill, rinse off at the outdoor shower, practice your short game on the putting green, and run a foosball or shuffleboard tournament before dinner. The fully fenced backyard means kids can roam freely without a second thought.
Main Floor:
Two living areas with Smart TVs, cable, and fast WiFi. The kitchen is genuinely equipped for 18: full stove and oven, two refrigerators, dishwasher, both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker, blender, rice maker, and all the cookware you'd use at home. Dining area seats 10 at the main table, 4 more at the kitchen counter. A covered balcony off the living area has outdoor seating with ocean and neighborhood views. A rear deck holds additional seating and the grilling area.
Game Room:
Full arcade games, game console, foosball, shuffleboard, wet bar, and a 60-inch HDTV with Fire TV, premium cable, and Roku. Rainy days solve themselves here.
The Six Bedrooms (sleeps 18):
- Bedroom 1 (Main Floor): 2 queen beds, ensuite bath. Great for grandparents or guests skipping stairs.
- Bedroom 2 (2nd Floor): 2 queen beds, ensuite bath.
- Bedroom 3 (2nd Floor): King bed, ensuite bath.
- Bedroom 4 (2nd Floor): Queen bed, ensuite bath.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Extended Family Reunions (up to 18 guests): Six bedrooms and five ensuite baths means no shared bathrooms between families. The main-floor bedroom handles grandparents or guests who need single-level access. Everyone gathers at the pool, game room, and kitchen then retreats to their own space at night.
Golf Groups: Multiple reviewers specifically mention this home for golf trips. With 90+ Grand Strand courses nearby and a putting green on-site, golf groups leave happy. Big house, heated pool, cold drinks after 18 holes — the formula works every time.
Multi-Family Beach Trips with Young Kids: The kiddie pool, Pack-n-Play, highchair, baby gate, children's dinnerware, and age-sorted toys make this home genuinely ready for families. The beach is across the street and the backyard is fully fenced.
Sports Teams and Tournament Groups: Several reviews come directly from post-tournament stays. Six bedrooms keep teams rested; the game room, pool, and outdoor space handle the postgame energy.
