About this property

Oceanfront, 1st Floor, Fully Gated, Family Friendly, Private Beach 9.6/10 Prev.

Enjoy this oceanfront, family-friendly condo! Sea at Last (Unit #3) is located in Southpointe Villas on the first floor of a 3-floor condo complex for easy beach and pool access steps away. Under new ownership as of May, this condo had a 9.6/10 excellent rating previously. Southpointe Villas offers an intimate setting, a spacious beach, and a very private feel. The oceanfront pool (open Easter through Oct. 31st) is near the walkway over the dunes. There is a rinse-off station on the walkway. Southpointe Villas has only 24 units, so communal areas are typically uncrowded making for a perfect family getaway. This wide, long stretch of beach has very limited public access. It is located 2.4 miles south of the Garden City Pier. Southpointe Villas is the southern-most condo complex of Murrells Inlet/Garden City before reaching the point. It is fully gated with a private beach access in an area with mostly private homes. You never need to fight the crowds for beach space! It is within walking distance to the popular Gulfstream Cafe and Marlin Quay Marina. Many other restaurants, golf courses, shops, etc. are within an easy drive. This condo has been listed on VRBO in the past by the Miles Family. They had a 4.8/5 stars on VRBO. Under new ownership now, we have replaced the queen bed in the master bedroom with a new king-sized bed. We replaced the double bed in the second bedroom with a queen-sized bed.

The master bedroom has a new king sized bed and a full bath, en-suite. The second bedroom features a queen bed and a set of bunk beds. The sleeper sofa folds out to a double bed.

The unit includes Wi-Fi, two flat-screen TVs, and a DVD player. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. There is a patio with a view of the landscaped side yard. Outside grills are available for use on the grounds. We have a small, stackable washer/dryer, however, if you need to do a large load, there is a coin-operated laundry room available for guests just below the pool on the edge of the complex. Check-out cleaning is included. Linens and bath towels are also included. Bring your own beach items and beach towels.

Shade awnings are allowed on the beach here in Georgetown County unlike Horry County to the north. There is plenty of local wildlife including birds and turtles.

Please know that the HOA does enforce the following rules for renters:
-No smoking of any kind is permitted anywhere in the unit or on the balcony. (Includes vaping)
-No pets.
-No recreational vehicles.
-No golf carts or trailers.
-No parties or events.

The primary renter must be at least 25 years of age and must be present during the entire period that the unit is occupied. A photo ID may be requested for proof of age.

Violation of policies/rules may result in eviction and loss of rent paid including deposits.

Guests will be sent the door code the day of check-in after the housekeeper has finished cleaning.

Amazing Beachfront Location
What an amazing place to stay. The complex made us feel safe and secure and we loved the Pool and Beach Access. The Condo was clean and comfortable and had all of the amenities we could ask for. It was in a quiet area and made us feel as if we had the whole place to ourselves. We would definitely stay here again as well as recommend it to our friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great week!
Great condo. The beach at this part of Garden City is very wide and not crowded. Our granddaughters loved the pool as much as the ocean. The condo was well equipped and very comfortable. We had to contact the host with one question. She responded immediately, resolved the issue. We would definitely rent again!

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up coming with my family to Huntington Beach (just south of here) at least two weeks every summer and we all loved this area. For many years, my dream was to get a little place on the beach for our family and others to enjoy. I have finally retired, and my dream of a little beach place has come true! Hence, the name, "Sea at Last!" Being here brings back such great childhood memories of the soft white sands and the deep and wide beach. I would love to get an established clientele of great renters who love this area and this little family condo as much as we do!
This condo formerly belonged to the Miles Family. It was well-loved, updated, and tastefully decorated! We fell in love with it! They had a great rating (4.8/5 stars) on VRBO. We added a new king bed with a new mattress in the master bedroom and two new end tables. We replaced a double bed with a queen in the 2nd. Sea at Last is our little piece of heaven on earth!

Why they chose this property

This property has previously earned a 4.8/5 stars on VRBO. It is under new ownership. The property is fully gated and surrounded by single-family homes. This neighborhood is close enough to the activities of the cities, but is the most southern condominium complex in an area of private homes, and a great, family friendly place for relaxation and fun in the sun. The oceanfront pool is an added advantage. We are far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel secluded and peaceful, yet close enough to restaurants, shops, world-class golf courses, and the gorgeous Brookgreen Gardens.
Many units have full-time owners who are close knit, kind, and respectful. A few condos allow short term rentals. It is just a happy place!
This condo is in an area of private homes, so the wide beach is very private and relaxed!

What makes this property unique

The location is ideal. The area is peaceful. The beach is pristine, and uncrowded in this area of private homes. The complex is small and fully gated. I love the ocean best, but the oceanfront pool is a nice option, too. We are on the first floor. There are three floors and there is no elevator; being on the first floor is great for older people and children, alike. It is easy to walk right out to the beach and easy to get your luggage and groceries into Unit #3. We do not have an ocean view from our condo, but just a few steps away, I can sit on one of the walkway benches with my coffee and watch the sun rise over the Atlantic or sit on the bench and see the moon making a luminous path on the water. That was my mother's favorite thing, to see the moon making a pathway over the ocean. The walkway over the dunes is wonderful and the rinse station on the walkway is great, too. If you want to golf, there are over 100 fabulous golf courses in the area. There are putt-putt courses, arcades, shops, etc., all within an easy drive. Brookgreen Gardens is nearby. Pawley's Island shoppes and those great hammocks are fairly close. The restaurants in Murrells Inlet are fabulous. And there are many first class restaurants in the area. Fancy to fish camp, your choice. But most of all, I just love the serenity of the area around this little condo!
