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.

There are so many great things to say about IR House, but hands down the location, the layout and the Inlet views were just perfect! The home is well appointed and we were able to take our boat and keep at the private dock for the week. The house is literally across the street from a beach access point so that was wonderful as well. Although the house is older, don't let that fool you. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained and did I mention the LOCATION? :-) We are planning to rebook for next year!

Upon arrival the GCR inspector said that several TV remotes were missing and would be replaced. Never heard anything about that. We did without. The door codes didn't work so we contacted GCR and they were able to reprogram the codes remotely. Very professional maintenance department. We were surprised to find a King Bed in one room so the listing hasn't been updated for that upgrade. Bedrooms have AC window units and central air and some were still uncomfortably warm. Outdoor grill and some of the deck furniture needs to be replaced. Very pleased that linens were provided. A downstairs ice maker would be a great addition. Beach access and dock/inlet access was awesome.

This property was recommended after our original reservation was unavailable due to Hurricane Ian. It was a perfect fit for our vacation! It was extremely convenient to the beach, and we loved the fishing in the inlet from the dock out back. Grocery stores and other shopping were very close by also making our week wonderful.

This was our first year staying in the Ir house in Garden City and we loved it! We had 11 people and it was plenty of room for us all! The front and back decks were fantastic and I was able to even sit out during a rain storm under the tin roof section! The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean! And the beach access and inlet were wonderful!!

Our family has diverse interests when it comes to the beach. My two sons ages 20 and 18 wanted a marsh front home so they could use the john boat and fish. I love the beach and the ocean so it was great for me too! My boys were able to have their own space downstairs with two bedrooms, a bath, and a kitchenette, and my husband and I were upstairs with plenty of room for company. The living area is very spacious and we enjoyed the sunroom when it was chilly. The outdoor decks were just great too. The area under the house is very open and there is plenty of parking. We will definitely vacation here again. Also, check in and checking out was a breeze.

We stayed at the IR house for the week of July 4th. Everything was clean when we arrived and the kitchen had everything we needed....including a crock pot! The family room was very large and our granddaughters had plenty of room to practice and perform their dances. The sunset was perfect over the inlet every evening and the sunrise was beautiful from the front porch. The dock was easy to access for our boat and we had a grand time catching crabs.....plenty to eat. We loved the glass sunroom on the back. We had one small maintenance issue and it was taken care of very quickly. We have already reserved this house for next summer! It was so nice not to have to share bathrooms. The mattresses were the only down of the trip. Next year we will purchase egg crate toppers if they have not been upgraded. It was the perfect house for us, our children, and grandchildren.

My extended family and I had a great time here. We had ages ranging from 4-79, and everyone loved it, though the stairs were hard on some of them. All living areas are on the upper level, as is typical of the area. The older teens loved the ground level rooms with easy access to the outdoors.We usually stay closer to the pier, but moved south in search of better fishing. We were not disappointed- plenty of crab, a flounder and a few others. We rented kayaks which we were able to use straight from the dock and the beach this far south is less crowded. Beach access is right across the street and very convenient. It was my in-laws' first time visiting, and she loved watching the inlet in the mornings. (Honestly, one of my favorite things, as well.) We had fantastic views of the inlet, and also an ok view of the ocean on the other side. The kitchen was in great shape and well stocked, there were ceiling fans everywhere and room AC units in some areas, as well as overall AC. On a hot week, we were very comfortable. The living room furniture was not super comfortable- low chairs and such. The beds were old and creaky, but we slept better than expected. The covered outdoor area (under the house) was fantastic, with plenty of tables in the shade. I would absolutely stay here again. If you haven't been to Garden City before- I'd recommend a golf cart so you can have easy access to everything up by the pier (where all the excitement happens)and a life jacket for any little one who will be near the dock. It's deep and there is a current. The only complaint I had was the lack of extra blankets. They provided plenty of towels and sheets. However, the futon came with sheets but no actual blanket. My dad in law needs to sleep in a recliner and we had trouble finding a blanket for him to use. All in all, a great place with good fishing.

The bunk beds have no rails. My 4 year old granddaughter fell off the top bunk. We spent that day seeing a dr. and getting x=rays. The next day she had to stay out of the sun and water. So we missed 2 days of our vacation. I had travel insurance. Will that pay for medical expenses and 2 missed vacation days?
