About this property

Beach-front 2br/2ba condo with 2 balconies overlooking ocean!

Spacious condo on third floor of the beachfront Seawatch VIII building, with its own private beach access, ample parking, and TWO balconies both overlooking the ocean.

If you choose Seawatch VIII for your vacation, you can expect a much more private and peaceful beach experience than you would get at a high-rise condo with a pool and elevator. You'll have plenty of beach space to set up your towels or play games, with a direct view of the ocean, not blocked by a hundred other beachgoers. You won't have noisy neighbors coming down the hall at all hours of the night, or have trouble finding parking. But fun activities like Garden City Pier or the Pavilion are just outside your door.

This unit has a full kitchen with breakfast bar, a breakfast nook dining area, and living room with pull-out sleeper sofa on the main floor. Also on the main floor is a bedroom with two twin beds and a closet, a full bath, and washer/dryer. A unique spiral staircase leads to the loft bedroom upstairs, with a queen-size bed, full bath, and a second private balcony. There is private beach access from the main floor balcony. Both bedrooms have new LCD TVs with cable and DVD players, and the living room has a 40" LCD with blu-ray. WiFi is available in the unit as well, with somewhat limited bandwidth (3 Mbps, enough to stream one video at a time). In addition to closets in the unit itself, there is a private storage closet on the ground level, right by the beach and parking lot, so you don't have to lug your umbrella or beach chairs upstairs. The kitchen is fully stocked with towels, dishes, cookware, and small appliances (including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, blender, and crockpot). We offer a limited cleaning service for guests at no additional charge. This includes vacuuming, sanitizing counters/surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms, and replacing all bed linens and towels. This cleaning service does not include taking out the trash, washing or putting away dishes, or cleaning small appliances. We are happy to provide dishes, cookware, and small appliances for your convenience in the unit, but our cleaning service does not cover these items due to the limited time between guests on Saturdays.

This unit is perfect for a family of 4-6, a couple who wants plenty of room to relax, or a small group of friends. The main-floor bedroom has two twin beds with an attached bathroom. The upstairs loft bedroom has a queen bed with a private bathroom. In the living room, there is a pull-out sleeper sofa with a gel-topped memory foam mattress, so it is just as comfortable as any normal bed. So you can comfortably sleep 6 in this unit.

Check-in is after 3pm on Saturday, and check-out is before 10am the following Saturday. Unfortunately, no pets are allowed, and there is no elevator. This is a time share property privately owned by several families, so not all weeks are available (please check the calendar before submitting an inquiry), and stays are always Saturday-Saturday.

Cringy, uncomfortable

Never regretted a vacation before til now. Left a day early. So nasty. The carpet looked like its never been cleaned. Completely filthy. Bathrooms were not clean, couch was gross. Outdoor furniture was old, cushions were torn, old and smelly. I spent 6 miserable uncomfortable days before I bailed. Its been neglected for years. Not worth $50 a night.

L emplacement est parfait sur un coin avec 2 balcons face a la mer. Le secteur est calme et familial. Vous etes a 1/2 km du Pier. Pour les gens qui aiment la marche, la plage est tres longue. La mer est belle avec une pente douce pour la baignade. Les vagues sont merveilleuses. Vous etes pres des activites de Myrtler beach et il faut absolument visiter le marshwalk a Murrell Inlet pour son ambiance de pecheur et restaurants. Vous avez les epiceries, pharmacies a peu de distance en voiture ou les gens louent une voiture de golf. Il faut prevoir monter 3 etages pour se rendre au condo ainsi qu un escalier etroit pour la chambre des maitres. La cuisine est petite mais fonctionnelle pour notre sejour. Il faut s'attendre a une qualite acceptable au niveau des meubles, accesoires et literies. Les matelas sont confortables malgre qu ils sont vieux. Il y a un espace de rangement sous le batiment qui est tres grand et pratique pour vos articles de plage. Notre famille avons apprecie notre sejour, la tranquilite de la plage et des lieux. Nous allons surement y retourner.

Wonderful location

We very much emjoyed our stay. The location is perfect and we loved the fact that it's a two-story corner unit with two perfectly positioned balconies. Kitchen has the supplies we needed. The unit is a bit worn out but we loved the location, big windows overlooking the beach and two balconies. The manager was very helpful. We would come again.

Great location, Dated property needing some updates

This property was in an awesome part of Garden City. Close enough to walk to the pier, but far enough away that the beach wasn't crowded at all. The property manager was great at communication and check in and check out was super easy. Yes, there were a lot of steps, but the view made it worth it. Both balconies were the best part. I spent every morning and evening on the top balcony. So peaceful. Unfortunately, the property wasn't very clean and everything was very dated. We cleaned a lot of it before settling in. We found a bag of wet, dirty clothes behind the downstairs bedroom door. The kitchen had everything we needed and was a basic kitchen, which was what we were expecting. The furniture felt grimy and wasn't very comfortable. The sleeper bed was very difficult to pull out and felt like it didn't work well. It was actually just more comfortable to put the mattress on the floor. The carpet could use a cleaning, but I know it is hard to keep carpet near a beach clean. The headboard upstairs was dirty and I had to clean it. The bedspread also had a stain and I washed it. There were a couple of palmetto bugs that we saw, but again, you are at the beach and that can happen. The property definitely needs updated. The outside furniture was rusting out and breaking apart. When I contacted Edward, he stated that it would be replaced in the future. The downstairs closet was AWESOME! It was great not having to lug everything up and down the stairs. There were umbrellas, chairs, and boogie boards (we left a couple there too) that we were able to use. Parking was just fine and we had room for both cars. We enjoyed our week here! The beach and the balconies were so peaceful. We saw sea turtles, sting rays jumping out of the water, thousands of starfish, and even caught a baby shark while fishing from the beach. If you are looking for a luxurious condo, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a basic condo, in a great location and can overlook it not being immaculate, and in need of some updates, this would be perfect for you!

Awesome location, unclean condo.

The owner was easy to contact and was very nice. The location of the condo was awesome, oceanfront, on an amazing, uncrowded beach. The loft balcony was my favorite spot. When My family and I arrived at the condo shortly after check in. Our first impression was that the condo felt unclean and there was a fishy smell inside. We put the air on a comfortable temperature for us and went to dinner. Once we returned the air seemed fresher and cleaner. I use VRBO regularly and this is the first time that I felt that the cleanliness of the condo was unacceptable. I don’t expect perfect just no visible signs of dirt as was on the walls, the spiral bannister, the couch, the refrigerator handle etc. The oven looked as though it had never been cleaned, the kitchen floor was Sticky and the garbage disposal had a a smell. The bath mat in the upstairs loft bathroom and shower curtain were also discolored. There was also red spots on the carpet near the downstairs bathroom. I realize that the listing specifies limited cleaning service, however, I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. I appreciated the lower rates, however, I would have been happy to pay more for a cleaner condo as the location can’t be beat. Using a consistent professional cleaning service would probably make a world of difference in the quality of many future renters stays rather than having someone to come in to just vacuum, change sheets and wipe counter tops down. I really did not feel comfortable at all on the condo. Yes, the location is great but the lack of cleanliness led to us cutting our vacation short.

Wonderful spot!

This was a wonderful find for my family! The location was terrific...close to the Garden City Pier, easy access to grocery stores, drug stores and restaurants. The building is older and the unit could use a little upgrading, but the pricing was great and the condo had everything we needed. Loved having the storage room on beach level! Excellent communication with the property owner. Loved hanging out on those balconies!

Nice family vacation

Great location. Plenty of room for the six of us that stayed. The steps can get a little rough after a long day of going up and down them but I needed the exercise anyway. The beach was way less crowded here than down the beach either way so that was a huge bonus. Loved sitting on the beach at night watching the sun go down. That’s my favorite part of every day. Only one small complaint was the limited parking. It was my understanding that one of the owners had booked a few of the condos for his own large family and they drove multiple cars there. Wasn’t too big of a deal but made it pretty tight for us sometimes. One suggestion would be to add a bathroom on the ground floor to eliminate having to climb all those stairs every time one needed to go 😬 We Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing get away

Loved our stay here, everything we needed for the beach was available in the storage closet downstairs. The only time the stairs bothered me was when we had to make several trips up and down bringing in groceries. The pier was a short walk along the beach and the sunrise and sunset was beautiful to see each day. Space is tight when using the pull out sofa, but otherwise just perfect for a family of 4-5. Would definitely stay at this property again- loved the beach access and location.

Cozy getaway with an amazing view!

We had a wonderful time staying in Seawatch 303. It was everything we were looking for--the beach right out from our back steps, amazing views from the patio decks, and a well cared for home away from home feel. We enjoyed drinking our coffee in the mornings and watching dolphins swim by! We were not bothered by the lack of an elevator, I pretended it was my stairmaster workout at the beach, haha. The condo was very well cleaned and we loved the simplicity of the place. The kids loved the spiral staircase and it really is just a great place. We would definitely love to come again!

Perfect Condo on the Beach

Condo exactly as pictured/described. Perfect beach location, not too crowded. Loved the 2 balconies. Well stocked kitchen. Nice, clean place to stay. Note there are 42 stairs up/down to get to the condo or the beach. Well worth the walk for the view and closeness to the ocean. The owner, Edward is very easy to communicate with and is helpful. Look forward to booking another stay. Linda D.

Loved our view all week even if the weather was a tad chilly and rainy for a spring break. The beach supplies in the ground floor closet were an awesome bonus! The steps are a bit daunting but Edward warns of this in his listing and I’m happy to say I counted it as exercise while we were there! Enjoyed our time in Garden City!!

No better way to relax

First, Edward was a wonderful host. Any questions we had, he answered within minutes. His condo is very well stocked from the kitchen to the outside beach necessities. There are plenty of beach chairs and "boogie boards" for the kids. That is nice to know because we will be able to pack lighter next year and possibly fly. I would definitely stay here again. If you cannot climb steps, this will not be the place for you. The stairs are the only criticism that I have, but was aware of them prior to the trip. The condo is situated within walking distance of many activities. The board walk is only a 5 minute walk and there is live music and fireworks every night. For those of you that love warm Krispy Kreme donuts, it is just down the street. Walmart is close by too. If you want avoid the traffic of Myrtle, there is plenty of shopping and activities in Murrells Inlet, Garden City and Surfside Beach. We are looking forward to returning next year. There is no pool, but the kids did not even notice. We could not keep my grandson out of the ocean. The close proximity of the condo to the water/beach is perfect; and the storage on the bottom floor made packing up for the day so easy. Thank you Edward for an awesome vacation!!

Great week at the beach!

This condo had a great view and everything we needed for our family of four. It was nice to be able to eat dinner on the deck and be able to cook and do laundry. There aren’t many high rises close so the beach was not crowded. A lot of rain for the week, but otherwise a great time!

About the host

Hosted by Edward Jones

Host profile image
I am an electrical engineer, and I help manage the rental of this time share condo in some of my free time. This property has been in my family since I was a kid, so I love the place and take great care of it.

Why they chose this property

I grew up going to this condo with my family every summer, and it is very special to me. I've put a lot of time with my father into renovating and updating the unit for years, and I am really proud of it. It's a great location for families, but also close to great night life for young people. I go there for family reunions with my parents and nephew, and also with my college friends. It's a time share property, so I only own five weeks out of the year, but I am authorized to rent weeks on behalf of some other owners as well.

What makes this property unique

I love the two balconies, so you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up to the sun rising over the horizon. And the spiral staircase is always fun for kids, because it is so unique. The location is the best part though. Close to the Garden City Pier, the Causeway, Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, mini golf, golf courses, water parks, shopping. And if you are up for a little bit of a drive, there are the more touristy attractions like the Boardwalk, Barefoot Landing, and Broadway at the Beach about 30 minutes away. But I rarely feel the need to go that far for a good time.
