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 Cafe, 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.

What a peaceful retreat! A large, screened-in front porch overlooking the ocean and the landscaped pool area is the perfect way to relax and enjoy this beautiful setting. The master bed was very comfortable. I really appreciate the linen service. We were provided with plenty of clean towels & wash cloths. The bathrooms were great--no plumbing issues. All appliances in the kitchen were great. My wife and I enjoyed dining at the excellent seafood restaurants in the area. Every convenience you could possibly want is within a few miles.

We had a very nice stay at this condo. The location and access to the beach was great. The depth of the beach even at high tide was terrific. I especially appreciated the access to the condo...very secure and private. While there are some good amenities included in the condo, it is quite dated. The addition of ceiling fans for the rooms would be an immediate update, for example. The porch view and comfort was a highlight.

The unit was nice, but it needs to be updated. Everything from the furniture to the carpet are out of date. There were too many glass/breakable knick knacks in the condo. The location was great. The pool was very nice The elevator would have been nice to have, but the first call for maintenance got ignored. We ended getting stick in the elevator for almost one hour. The fire department had to come rescue us. Then, when the maintenance company showed up, they did nothing. We ended up going home early due to the elevator being out. We had family members that need to use the elevator to access the pool and the beach. We hated missing a day of our vacation. The rental company was easy to contact and helpful. Check-in and out where very easy.

We found unit 31 at Compass Rose a wonderful place to stay in Garden City. There are only 8 units and it was quiet. We had plenty of room for the three adults and especially loved the screened in back porch overlooking the pool and facing the ocean. We also enjoyed the master bedroom balcony in the mornings, having coffee and watching the boats going out from Marlin's Quay Marina. It was clean and very well equipped and convenient for dinners in Murrell's Inlet which has many wonderful restaurants. Would love to return to Compass Rose.

We have rented this unit the last (3) years and were very pleased with the updates. We did have some issues with the cable connection but finally it was resolved. The only issue is that we have been staying at Compass Rose for over 20 years and there are repairs needed to the over all property. Roof leaked in Units 41 and 42 which we also rented this year, various plumbing issues, stairwells were not clean, step treads loose, landings and screened in porches in need of repair and sprucing up. Pool guy great but garbage overflowing so probably need addl garbage receptacles.

Unit needs a complete detailed cleaning. The base boards had a lot of dirt and dust, especially behind the beds. Unit is very outdated with the furniture. A lot of hand written notes taped with scotch tape thoughout the unit not to move furniture. Seeing the notes made you feel not welcomed! Compass Rose has a fantastic oceanfront view and having a screened balcony was a plus! Unless the owners spruce up the unit, we would probably not stay in the that unit again.

This is our 15th year that we have stayed at Compass Rose and our 20th year renting from Garden City Realty. We love our Kentucky Clan vacations and the wonderful friends we have made staying at Compass Rose. Garden City Realty has been great to work with and have gone out of their way over the years to accommodate our needs. While we love Compass Rose, we do feel some of the condos need updating. However, we have already made our 2013 reservations! Garden City is a perfect place for the perfect family vacation!

Loved the location, higher up. We usually stay in the 1st floor unit rental by Dunes which had very updated equipment and king beds with very plush matresses. It would be nice to see Rose 31 update the wall paper in the LR, size of TV's (could hardly see the ones in the Bedrooms if you turned them on then the remote would work, 2 remotes for TV in LR),twin beds need to be tightened they wabbled and install tile vs carpet. There were signs everywhere, do not move this, do not move that, Makes one not feel very welcome. Would I stay in 31 again, probably not if other units are available.

We had always stayed up between the two piers. Decided on a change and loved it. The condo was great and the amenities were better than anywhere we have stayed in previous years. Having The Gulf Stream cafe across the street was just an added treat. The only thing that was a drawback was walking over the dune to the beach and not having the ocean right at our doorstep. Access to the beach would be very difficult for anyone with a disability. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay. Nice pool, great view, picture perfect beach plus Books, cookbooks and a guide to Ireland on the shelf...Perfect!

This is an excellent location for a late summer fall vacation. Very quiet, never heard the other renters. So nice to hear ocean during the night. Unit is clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the "nautical" decorating, especially the low country art work and still life photography. Amenities were all one could ask for in a rental condo. Would reccomend possible microwave replacement, old but usable. Wood moulding and bathroom floors starting to show some aging. Overall a good vacation rental experience. The folks from Garden City Realty are outstanding. Hope to see you next September. Glenn and Kathy, Burlington NC.
