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.

Stayed here last year and it was not very clean when we arrived. We decided to give it a second try this year because the location is great. Again it was not clean, we won’t be back. The floors had so much dog hair on them that the first day walking around in socks, they were covered. I’m fine with some dog hair as i have dogs but it is bad when everything is covered including furniture/furniture pillows. Showers were not clean, one still had soap and razors in it.

First off let me say that the location was perfect! Beach access was right across the street and a very short walk to the pier, shops and a few restaurants. The pool was very nice as well.The house has vinyl flooring throughout which was convenient when coming in from the beach and also having a dog with us. Very nice washer and dryer.The only thing I can say that needs approved upon is the living room furniture. The couch was worn and not comfortable at all! Thankfully the loveseat was better. There were a few minor issues with the tub drains but thankfully that was taken care of by maintenance.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was dog friendly we understand that but there was dog hair everywhere. Couch cushions were not vacuumed just overturned to hide the dog hair. I vacuumed the cushions and put bed sheets over the couches to prevent all the dog hair from getting on our clothes. We also had to rewash the dishes because of dried food on them. The bed comforters were also covered in dog hair along with other things. Also had sand on floor throughout the downstairs when we arrived. We stayed at a pet friendly place last year same location different property and that was very clean. We will be back next year just a different house. Thank you.

The location of this home was great but the house was full of dog hair. I’m not sure if it was just a poor cleaning job or the home is always this way but dog hair was everywhere.

Our family loved this vacation home! It was the perfect size for our family, great location to the Garden City pier, and local stores! The home was stocked with the essentials which made our stay even more enjoyable! We travel with our Old English Sheepdog and this owner was kind enough to allow him to stay even though he was over the weight limit! We had a wonderful week! The only negative was not being about to get into the house until past 5pm and then finding it not as clean as we would have thought it would have been due to the delay.

This is our second time staying in this group of houses, the first time at Pierside Paws. We really enjoyed our stay. A very well-kept house, beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable and we really appreciated the small details like plenty of drying hooks for towels and laundry baskets in the bedrooms. Our kids enjoyed getting to play the retro Nintendo games. The only "complaint" we had was wishing there was a broom and dustpan to sweep up the sand from the beach.
