About this property

Close to Shakes with Amazing Views of the Lake!

Myrtle's Beach House is the perfect house in the perfect location! There are stunning views of the lake from the large deck and from every floor of the house. Located just a block off the walking trail, you can walk to the beach, or downtown to get a raspberry shake. Walk down the trail to the public beach off the city park, or the beach off the marina. Easy access to Rendezvous Beach and North Beach.

This house is perfectly set up for a large group. There are 7 large bedrooms, 4 bathrooms AND a loft room with 8 beds and lots of room to play. Two family rooms and a kitchenette in the basement gives you plenty of room to hang out.
The kitchen table seats 8, plus 4 at the bar. Three picnic tables on the deck seat an additional 24.

The yard is a full 1/2 acre, with tons to do! Play a game of volleyball on the professional net, play on the play structure, enjoy the hot tub or make some s'mores around the large gas fire pit (seats 16). This is one of the nicest, largest yards in Garden City - so much outdoor fun!

There are 4 beach cruisers, two kayaks and two paddle boards in the garage which guests are welcome to use. When you're ready to go inside there is a speaker system, just plug in your iPod and enjoy! Free super fast WiFi, TVs in both family rooms, the master bedroom and basement bedroom. A tankless hot water heater means you don't have to rush back from the lake to get a hot shower!

We have been renting homes in Garden City for our family of 31 for years and we finally bought the house that we would want to rent! We know you will love it as much as we do.

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It had all you needed in the kitchen for a large family. The extras in the garage were appreciated as the kids use them most every day. The large lawn, the swingset and fire pit all were enjoyable. We had a wonderful time during our stay. Thank you so much.

We enjoyed gathering our children and grandchildren and having enough space and bedding for all of us to stay at this house. It was clean, comfortable, and close to town and the marina. Our family really enjoyed the fun backyard with all the activities it offered, and the fire pit was enjoyed as well! Great hosts answered all of our questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

BEST large group VRBO in Garden City

This home is the PERFECT location for a large family gathering at Bear Lake. The house was very comfortable and clean and has plenty of room. Plus they have sporting equipment (kayaks, bicycles, badminton court and rackets. We enjoyed the outdoor fire-it for evening relaxing and the kids made s'mores. The owner, Dana, was communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Family Reunion

The property offered a great location, close to beaches and restaurants. Rendezvous Beach was the family favorite just 12 minute drive from the house. Best part was a large deck, patio, and yard that kept the young ones outside and having old fashion fun instead of in the house watching TV and playing video games. Even the parents put their phones down for long periods of time. Great time!

We had a wonderful time! The kids and adults all loved the variety of entertainment options...badminton, ping pong, playset, video games, movies and lots of space to run and play. Having gathering areas upstairs, downstairs and outside allowed us to have different kinds of activities in different areas. We enjoyed a talent show around the barbecue pot, stories on the main floor and more upbeat family time in the basement. As organizer, I was especially grateful for 2 fridges, lots of pantry space and even a small fridge that we dedicated to anytime snacks. The cousins had a great time sleeping together in the loft area and we had enough bedrooms that each family could escape to their own space when needed. Beautiful home and area!

Great Family Fun

Our family of children, grandchildren and spouses numbers above 40. Most of us stayed at this house. The family members liked it so much that all but one voted for us to go to this house again for our next family reunion! Volleyball, Bad-mitten, and ping pong and the children's play area were great for everyone!

Great house and location!

The house is the perfect size for our group of 22. The kids enjoyed all the amenities it had to offer and the parents were grateful for that! The bikes and playstation were a hit. The listing says it can fit 39 but in my opinion 20 to 25 people is the perfect amount. The kitchen and counterspace was a bit small for preparing for such a large group but we made it work. The pantry was great for keeping everything off the counter. Great house and great location!

family reunion

Ideal for the size of our family. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we've ever experienced in vacation rentals over 20 years. It was great to have the kayaks, etc. in the garage besides what we brought. The carpet is worn enough in places that the carpet nails are dangerous and caused injuries. ( just band-aid punctures, but hurtful.)

Our family enjoyed our stay at Myrtle’s Beach immensely. The accomodations were perfect for our family size of 25 having 6 rooms for couples as well as 2 rooms for the grandsons and granddaughters to all be together. The girls loved the cute loft room although it was quite warm during the day even with the trundle bed pulled to free the covered air vents. It would have been nicer if both the windows could have been opened in the evenings to cool the cool the room down. (Only one window could be partially opened due to locks on one and no screen on the other.) Fortunately the backyard was so wonderful that much of the time the kids were outside anyway

Wonderful Family Gathering

Our family loves to come to the Bear Lake area and enjoys the activities available. We enjoyed our stay in this house very much. It was comfortable, clean, and roomy enough for all of us. The extras, such as the playground swings and slide, the badminton/volleyball net, and the ping pong table, were all enjoyed. We only had one issue with the cabin. None of us could figure out how to get in the front door because the code didn't work or something else was an issue because though we tried many times, we could never open the front door. Fortunately, we were able to enter through the garage door which opened using the code given. Otherwise, we would not have been able to get in the house. It was a great experience overall and we would rent this place again if we come back here.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Conway

Host profile image
I have been coming to Bear Lake with my grandma, Muriel "Myrtle" and our extended family since I was a little girl. I introduced my husband to this beautiful lake and we have been bringing our family here since we first got married. We LOVE Bear Lake and I have always wanted to own a home here. When we bought this house we knew we would name it after the woman who started it all - my grandma Myrtle.

Why they chose this property

1. VIEWS. There are gorgeous views of the lake from the large deck and from every window on the eastside of the house.
2. LOCATION. The house is just a few blocks from the walking/biking path that runs through Garden City. It is an easy walk/bike ride to town for shakes or to the public beach access at the city park.
3. ROOMS. With 7 bedrooms there are plenty of rooms for smaller family groups to have their own rooms and the loft is great place for the kids to hang out and sleep.
4. YARD. The 1/2 acre yard gives you and your group plenty of room to play and gathering around the large fire pit is the perfect way to end the day.
5. WELL APPOINTED. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a large group needs. The furniture, bedding and towels are all new.
