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.

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!!

OK starting with the pros: the hardwood floors throughout were beautiful. This house is a short walk to the entrance of the pier. The living room doors are huge and open to a deck with 4 rocking chairs and two small tables. We were able to fit four cars under the house and there's a public access right next door; if guests need to move to allow others to leave it is convenient. The living room has plenty of seating with two couches, could maybe use one or two additional chairs. Loved the fact that each of the main bedrooms had their own bathroom. The little Garden City amenity kits were a nice touch, and the laundry machines and dryer were efficient.Some of the cons: The layout is such though that only one couple will get the grand view of the ocean, the other two bedrooms are pretty tucked away and then the bunk rooms face the road. There were no coat hangers in the primary bedroom closet. You have to make your own bed on arrival – they bag up all the towel sets and all the sheets sets up in plastic and it's kind of a surprise whether or not you get a fresh smelling set of sheets...I had to open various sets from other unoccupied beds before finding some that didn't smell like too badly like old linen that’s been sitting in a closet. Neither the top primary bedroom that faces the ocean nor the living room has curtains so during certain hours of the day the sun just sears inside and there's nowhere to hide- it is BRIGHT. Also sadly, I primarily rented this house because I saw the amazing table with so much seating. We rented over Thanksgiving so we're planning a full-on cooking event for at least a few of the days. The kitchen was laughably stocked – better suited for a frat boy party than a family vacay. No cutting board, only a couple of dull knives, about 10 small pots and no big ones. No frying pan. No roasting pans, no serving bowls. The kitchen had around 100 plates (why?) but barely any cooking implements you would need for a family

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.

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.

It was wonderful! We loved every moment. The house was amazing, right near town, plenty of parking space. But the best parts were the deck and being right on the beach. It was all great! We even had parking room for the cart we rented.
We enjoyed our stay at this beach rental. It was close to the pier in Garden City. A live band on one end and karaoke on the other end. Great view of the ocean. Great customer service on a maintenance issue. Very prompt response. I would suggest adding a grill for outdoor cooking. Overall very happy.

We spent Thanksgiving week at the beach house and absolutely loved it. My husband and I loved waking up every morning to the sun rising. We also loved sending our daughter and her cousins out to play in the sand on the beach just steps away from the back door. The location was close to a lot. The kitchen was well equipped with the exception of a few baking dishes. It was Thanksgiving after all. :)

We had a wonderful time. The sunrises in the morning were amazing. The view of the pier and the sounds from the pier at night were great. We saw sharks swimming at the end of the pier and watched dolphins swimming just off the shore! The only complaint that I do have is that many of the people that vacationed with us (including children) got splinters from walking on the deck and walkway to the beach. Other than that we had a great time! Thank you so much.

Vacation was amazing. I have been travelling to N. Myrtle Beach every year for the past 10 years and this was my first time in Garden City. I am in love. We have already planned next year in same house or another with Garden city realty. They were friendly and helpful. Beach beautiful and quiet. Not nearly as crowded as the N. Myrtle area. Location close to everything you need. Town small and friendly. Views from house beautiful and a very very short walk to pier.

The inside of the place is really nice and clean and newly remodeled. However, the people on the other side of the duplex were extremely loud and over occupancy. We couldn’t even sit on the porch because they were so loud and obnoxious. You share the same porch, but there is a divider so you can’t see them. It really depends on who you’re sharing the duplex with.

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!

Reviewer Comments:
The home was spotless.Plenty of space for our family. The downside was music from pier late into evening ,fireworks that’s started every night in front of our house sometime still 1-2 am. There were no cookie sheets or casserole dishes Or containers for leftovers . Thankfully we lived close and brought a hose from home to be able to wash off feet from beach. Also brought my vacuum , house needs a decent broom The amount of sand tracked in was unbelievable until we did that.Needed more rugs at doors to clean off feet. The issues we did have decking,outdoor shower clogged tub were handled very quickly from realty
The location can’t be beat. Unfortunately, that doesn’t out way the negatives we encountered during our stay. The house has very few “extra’s”. The one and only knife was too dull to peel an apple. The pans are either unusable or too small to be useful. There were palmetto bugs and most likely roaches found throughout the house during our stay. That may be normal for a beach house I don’t know. The smoke alarm went off one afternoon. I called maintenance they came out and fixed it( per the tag they left). The alarm went off again that night at 2:00 am, not fixed. The outdoor garbage was overflowing and covered with ants and fly’s when we arrived. It was not picked up during our stay and had quite the odor by the time we left, 5 days later. The vents appeared to have mold in them. The patio door also appears to have mold along the tracks. The door is difficult to open/shut and should be replaced. We did appreciate the professionally cleaned and packaged bedding and the kits of soap, shampoo, etc. in each bathroom.

Reviewer Comments:
First I will say - we had an awesome vacation - however I would not stay in this property again, for a couple of reasons. The views were great and the location convenient, especially with teenagers, however, something we didn't consider was that the pier is very LOUD every, single night with live music. So you lose that relaxing lull of the ocean being drowned out by bass and drums. The furniture was not very comfortable and the selection of pots/pans was a joke. I had to reclean the bathrooms, and sweep the floor. I can't say re-sweep because I doubt highly that the floor was swept before we entered the home. I do not expect "white glove" perfection, however I do expect clean. 2 of the 4 showers needed maintenance - and they were great about coming out on Sunday. We love Garden City and will come back, just not to this home.
