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.
Take a day trip to Charleston to experience shopping, a harbor cruise, a city carriage tour, or a plantation tour. Charleston is only 87 miles from Garden City Beach - approximately two hours. It's a picturesque and exquisitely preserved southern city with antebellum architecture, cobblestone streets, and historical landmarks.

We loved this rental. The property is a close walk to a beach access and not too far for restaurants. Comfortable beds as well. We enjoyed the front porch as well.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall stay was excellent. Arrival was not so pleasant. We received a text at 3:50 that the unit was ready to be occupied. We arrived a little after 4 and housekeeping was still in the unit cleaning. We made no attempt to occupy the space and simply asked what was going on. The housekeeper was not polite and told us that we had to wait for her to finish and then for a supervisor to inspect. We went back downstairs and waited for another 30-45 minutes. When the supervisor arrived the housekeeper complained about the working conditions within our earshot. The supervisor was very polite but should have moved or delayed the conversation. When the housekeeper finally got in her car, she sat looking at her phone for several minutes parked under the house almost as if she was intentionally making us wait longer to occupy the property. Based on your policies I’m sure that people arrive early and try to muscle their way in. We were very polite and understanding with your employees and never made a request to occupy early. After everyone left, we then received a second text that the property was ready for occupancy.

Small home on a side street with friendly neighbors and close to the beach. Comfortable beds. We wish the king bed was in the room with the private bath. The kitchen needs more dishes/cooking supplies and utensils.

Reviewer Comments:
The Crab Shack was a nice pet-friendly rental. Location is fantastic. Property is pretty well maintained. Fairly clean. Roomy. Very comfortable beds. I would stay there again so I don't want to sound too negative, but .. it's showing it's age. Electric stove main burner doesn't work. Oven looked too dirty to try. But refrigerator and microwave are newer. Dishwasher is rickety and clothes washer barely working. Light fixtures and fans very dusty (allergies). Typical issues with these rentals - too many beachy nicknacks covering every surface (no place to put OUR stuff) and hardly any clothes hangers in closets. It'd be perfect with a little refreshing and updating, and a little less decorating. Oh, and the WiFi works good - but no cable - This didn't bother us but you'll need some good streaming subscriptions.
