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.

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.

A great vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 13 enjoyed the house and especially the pools. The hot tub didn't work. I was promised a refund of $250 but have not received it. Please send to my home address and we will part most positively. Your evaluation numbers would improve.

Short walk to the beach but house needs to be updated
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location and beach access is great. Parking is an issue if you have multiple cars. The house needs to be updated. The kitchen also needs to be restocked with pots, pans and utensils. The common areas are great for a large family.

Perfect Family Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was big enough for our family of 13. It was great having the option of two pools. The one on the top floor was beautiful and convenient before and after meals. Easy walk to the beach. Keeping the ducks out of the downstairs pool was a challenge but staff addressed the issue and pool was cleaned every morning. Overall, everything was just wonderful.

Spring Break Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is great for a large group. It has plenty of room with the 6 bedrooms and 5 and 1/2 baths. The bottom floor has a 5 of the 6 bedrooms and the top floor has 1 bedroom and the living area/kitchen. So, be prepared to climb the stairs a lot. The pool filter on the top deck and the fire pit didn’t work and didn’t get fixed during our stay. We would have enjoyed using the fire pit, as the last few days of our vacation were cold. We were told at check in it would be fixed by Tuesday, but it wasn’t. Outside pool has a leak and there were issues w it not staying full/overflowing. Maintenance came fairly quickly when called. We also had an issue w ants in the kitchen. They came and sprayed, but we still couldn’t leave anything on the counter. Neighbors closet to the beach are not nice and would probably keep me from renting again. Beware if you have a group w kids that maybe loud. For an older crowd, this shouldn’t be an issue. Overall, house is great. Owner just needs to fix pools and fire pit.

Marlin and Mermaids Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We picked Marlin and Mermaids for the room it offered and the proximity to the beach. We also choose this home as it had a hot tub and pool, something very important to us with all the children that were with us.Unfortunately there were issues with the hot tub and no heat in the pool until the last day. This is the main reason we'd chosen this home.The home itself offered enough room for our family and was set up nicely.It was close to many restaurants and the beach.The property managers were very quick to respond to issues,although the service men were unable to correct the issues (pool and hot tub)until our last day.We did enjoy our stay but were disappointed about the situations listed.

Some disappointments but overall great vacation.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house location and size were great and fit our needs as a large family great. The dining area was wonderful for our large Thanksgiving dinner. The sofa on the top floor was a disappointment as the sofa bed underneath was not bolted up and so you could only sit on one end with out the cushions falling through. The other main complaint from my family was that the home listed a hot tub, and there was no heat in it. We called several times and was told that since it was heated by a heat pump that it would be a little cooler than what we were used too, however it never got above ice water temperature, so it was not usable at all. House was clean and beds were very comfortable.

Disappointed- We Picked Wrong This Year!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented vacation homes for 50 years along the Carolina coast; and I will say we picked wrong this year. This has to be the worse designed house we’ve stayed in from the beginning. The main floor is on top, and with the exception of one, all the bedrooms are on the bottom floor. To get up to the main level of the house you have to traverse 2 long sets of stairs. The unit was not clean when we arrived; kitchen was bad with food chunks in the cabinets, mold on the kitchen faucet, and a dirty refrigerator. We had several things to break or already broken during our stay including: a toilet, kitchen disposal, and microwave. Housekeeping and maintenance were very responsive to our needs and did resolve the issues promptly. No access or view of the backyard pool from within the house; except up and down those long stairs. The hot tub was a nice feature of the pool and enjoyed by many in our group. Nice views of the marsh from the front deck! We will pass on this one for any future stays.

Bikeweek Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was very pleased with the overall condition of the house and the amenities. Loved the fact that it had queen or king size beds in all the rooms. Makes it great for a getaway with a group of adults. Only minor complaints, the headboards on the beds were dusty, could have use a couple more pots/pans for cooking. Other than that we had a great time. Glad we booked this house for our stay.

Marlins and Mermaids Review
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house itself was very spacious and clean upon arrival. The location, layout of the house, and the size of the rooms were great. The pool and hot tub on the other hand were not working properly, very dirty, and low on water. We called 2-3x day 1 to report the pool and hot tub were not working properly. They assured us someone would come out and fix it. Day 2 someone came out and somewhat tried to fix it but was not successful and didn’t really seem to care. Day 3 the pool company just happened to stop by again and we told them again the pool was not working properly. Unfortunately, this went on for all 5 days. Of course we chose this house and spent more money because of young kids and having the pool and hot tub there at the house but it never worked properly. Very disappointed that no one seemed to care.

Great week at Marlins and Mermaids!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Home was exactly as described with quick walk to beach access. House is great for large families. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces, especially the hot tub. We liked the close proximity to Murrells Inlet, with many restaurants to choose from, and the easy drive to Myrtle Beach for other attractions.
