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.

Amazing property for family vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Salty Dog was the perfect space for our family getaway. Located close to the pier and a short drive to the marshwalk, this was a great spot on the beach. The kitchen was the best stocked rental we’ve stayed at, and the house was clean and newly renovated. There was a small ant problem and they sent pest control the next day. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the two living spaces, along with the large deck and plenty of furniture. We look forward to booking this home again and appreciate that this property came so well stocked! The only thing that would make this home better is a vacuum to maintain cleanliness throughout the week!
Response from VrboOwner on 16 June 2026
Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed The Salty Dog, especially the location, updates, and well-stocked kitchen. We also appreciate your feedback about the ants so we could address them quickly, as well as your suggestion regarding a vacuum. We’d love to host you again!

A pleasant vacation in Garden City

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a great vacation and stay at The Salty Dog. The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Loved the decks and the easy access to the beach. Some furnishings in the back bedrooms were a bit dated, but the living areas were so modernized we didn't care. The second floor living room and master bedroom views are STUNNING. Drinking coffee on the deck each morning was a highlight.My only issues were check in information from Garden City Realty and an ongoing ant problem we had with the house. Upon check in, there were not instructions for the house on how to use the TVs, functionality of the house (ice maker was broken so use the tabletop ice maker),or even the wifi password. We checked in late on Saturday night and attempted to get the Wifi password for over 48 hours. When the realty company reopened on Monday they were able to get it to us, but it was a bummer no one was available all day on Sunday for those who checked in past 5PM on Saturday.There is definitely a big ant problem in the house. I had read past reviews that this was happening and thought it would be remedied by the time we got there. Upon check in we noticed a trail of them throughout the first floor and the realty company did send maintenance and they sprayed again, but by the end of the week they were back with vengeance. It was so bad at one point they got into the engine of our car from falling from the floorboards above and were starting to get into the interior when we were driving home. We had to get our car interiors completely cleaned to ensure they didn't come to our house. The entire week we had to be super careful not to leave any food out and to clean things up quickly.Maintenance was lovely - so kind and helpful. Overall was a great stay, even with the ants. If they could get that dealt with would be much more comfortable overall and a 5 star review.

Wonderful vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at the Salty Dog house. We brought our 2 little terriers with us and spent most of our time on the awesome back covered porch. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to the Garden City pier and 5-15 minute drive to restaurants or attractions. This was our second year in this house and we’re making plans to come back next year again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 4th year at the Salty Dog. The upgrades are fantastic! I would suggest a gate on the deck in order to keep small children and pets safe and also move the foot wash spigot to the middle deck level. A hose in the garage would be nice. We are SO VERY VERY SAD that this property is not available for our vacation in 6/2024!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed the week of Memorial Day. The beach was not crowded, which was great. Great location, very short drive to dining and grocery stores.There were a few minor issues with the house that we did not bother to report (lights out on porch, broken frig shelf.) The only issue we did report was that somehow the linens were not in the house. 45 minutes after my call they were delivered with apologies. So great service!The house was very clean and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. We had 11 people and everyone had plenty of room.
