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.

Don’t stay here!!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than 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: When we arrived, I noticed the flour was disgusting, no welcome packet as the site stated. The sliding door is broken. Kitchen chairs And rocking chairs broken. The shrubs scratched our cars. There is black mold coming from all the air vents. The worst part is it was totally infested with roaches!!! Don’t stay here. When I told them of all this, the lady didn’t offer any compensation and just sent over maintenance to remove a chair and bring a dustpan. One good thing is it’s right in the beach.

The toilet in the green bedroom ran several times a night and was stained. I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay in that place.

Perfect family vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Our family stayed at Against the Wind B for a week. It is the perfect spot- it is with in walking distance of everything. We enjoyed swimming, surfing and playing on the beach with the grandkids. The pier is next door and we spent lots of time there fishing and enjoying the live bands. The house was perfect except for the pull out couches- I wouldn’t recommend that you use them - the mattresses on the couches were sandy and stained.

Great house, price, and loacation, BUT.....
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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed in both sides of this house several times and will definitely rent again, BUT.....this year several basic maintenance issues caused some frustration that can easily be fixed. 1. The kitchen is no longer well stocked with basic supplies. 2. The internet was randomly intermittent in maintaining a connection. 3. The sink drains were slow. 4. The sliding door did not open/close smoothly. 5. The vegetation is taking over the driveway which makes getting in/ out of vehicles difficult along with loading/unloading our luggage. Theses are all simple fixes, and overall did not diminish all the wonderfulness of the house layout, price, and location. We will definitely be back!!

Treated like criminals at check in
At checkin at Garden City Realty, I was accused of falsifying the contract and told in a threatening manner that the owners did NOT rent to 'my type'. Two women took the packet to the back while I was left waiting. Then 3 LARGE men came out and tried to intimidate me into leaving. I was called a liar and they demanded all of my guests come in and hand over their licenses to be vetted. They finally relented and said our background checks were ok and gave us the code to check in. As we were leaving, one of the large men said they would be watching us and if we did anything wrong that they would kick us out, not let us gather our belongings and no refund. They tried to scare us into leaving. I'd paid 3 months in advance and filled out the contract with all of the information on my guests and all was ACCURATE. It was an unbelievable experience that I will never forget. I did absolutely everything perfectly and honestly on the contract, 3 MONTHS ahead of time and at checkin I am treated like a criminal in front of my friends. I am still shocked that a business would treat customers so unprofessionally. My friends are all educated professionals who plan to report this to the BBB and the C of C. The unit was fine, and matched the photos. The location was great. If not for the threats at checkin it would have been a very nice vacation. But Garden City Realty ruined it. I thought you should know.

Great vacation, but a few issues
Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: House is in a great location and decorated nicely. It does needs a good detailed cleaning, too much dirt/dust build up. Ants were an issue just not in the kitchen, but also in the bathrooms.

Against the Wind ‘B’
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: The best part of this house is the location. The house has very small amounts of kitchen supplies, ie one mixing bowl plastic and small, not even a corkscrew. Stainless is so cheap it bends almost as you stir your coffee. The furniture is nasty and very very old. The house needs a major cleaning, not just a quick clean up on Saturday. Old dirt in corners, baseboards, etc just a major cleaning. There is no grill, one small trash can that all the neighbors use, so stays overflowing. The ice maker does not work efficiently. It never even filled the tray the whole week we were there and we had ants. Called office 4 times before anything done but once I got to the right person they came out right away and I appreciate that very much. There were 5 chairs on the porch and 2 were broken and I don’t think they have been cleaned in a very long time. I know it is the beach and I expect sand and things but not filth. Unless things were changed in the house, the location is not worth renting it again.

Family Beach House Vacation2022
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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our third time staying at this building, two times in A and once in B. Both sides are equally well equipped, but getting a little cluttered with dishes, pots and pans, etc. Open up some space for vacationer’s kitchen items. Coffee pot is fine, maybe add a Keurig style pot instead of two coffee pots. Outside is getting a little overgrown. There were sticker bushes creeping onto the deck that I had to cut back for the kid’s safety. As I always report, move the outdoor shower onto the deck. It doesn't make sense to rinse off in the sand and now sticker bushes and then walk through the sand to get to the deck. If it was on the deck, the house may have less sand in it. Disappointed that I could not grill under the facility as we used to be able, even though the neighbors didn't follow the rules. Ants were also another issue. You would think they were in the food areas, but no, in my bedroom. They also got into my vehicle. Takeaways: Get rid of the ant problem, cut back the brush and open it up, allow grilling under the building, move the outdoor showers, and put some of our money back into the building, it’s getting dated. Will I stay here again, questionable. I don't feel that the money spent is equal to the vacation experience people are looking for. I would recommend this house for location, but there are better quality houses for the money.

Dirty!!!
This property needed serious attention. We covered the couches with sheets just to sit on them. Sand caked in the corners of the stairs. We bought new comforters because the ones available had to be from the 70’s! They were disgusting! We found earrings and q-tips beneath the sheets! Not worth the money!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very disappointed in the cleanliness. There were large roaches, the louvered door on hvac closet looked like it had not been dusted in years, The corners on steps have not been cleaned in a while. These things tell me there is never real good cleaning done between tenants. I decided to eat out mostly because of the roaches which cost more money than I had planned.In addition, the sliding glass door needs repair. I had to fix it upon arrival myself.And no I did not call anyone because I did not want to deal with others coming in and out while on vacation. These were issues that should have been taken care of before I arrived. It was not an issue of air not working on day 4 or something where I would have called.Paid a lot of money for this unit on off season and just expected more.Your staff at check in and check out were great.

Oceanfront Close to Everything
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While we were initial concerned about the noise level being so close to a busy intersection (shops, public beach access, & the pier), the view and oceanfront access made all of our worries go away. The house easily sleeps 10 (and can accommodate more if you use the 2 pull out sofas in the living room). When we had an issue with the garbage disposal, maintenance responded quickly. I do recommend they invest in some additional kitchen utensils such as cookie sheets, mixing bowls, sharp knives, and a Keurig. A deep cleaning of the whole house is needed, but overall it has good bones.
