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.

This house is in a great location, second row with decent ocean view, close enough to walk to pier and Sam’s Corner, far enough away that it’s pretty quiet. Also right down from public beach access.

This home is exactly like the pictures show, it is a bit dated with wood paneling and carpets throughout - some minor issues - but all in all a great little cottage for the price - EXCELLENT location across from the Beach Access and about a block from the Pier.

Reviewer Comments:
The Abernathy Cottage has a wheelchair ramp and we have stayed there several times. It is a comfortable place with great parking for 3 vehicles, one being a handicap van. It is a beautiful place. The view of the ocean from the front porch and large windows is wonderful. The homes in front of it are on stilts so that you can see under them and see the ocean waves. There are several rockers on the porch and it’s wonderful and calming to set there. It’s a great place to bring your whole family and to have fun together. Love, love, love this house! It meets our large family needs! ❤️

I say "our" beach house because our 2 families have been staying at the Abernathy cottage for about the last 20 years. Our parents and grandparents used to bring my cousin and I when we were small and now that we have families of our own we try to get together once a year and return with our children. I am in SC and she is in IN. There is no other place we would rent. It's walking distance to the pier and you get to enjoy the beach view from the front porch. We arrived this year to see a new deck on the front and we loved it!!

Not as good as in the past. We could not sit or porch for the flies. On Wednesday when trash was emptied we saw maggots in trash can. Not from us as we didn’t throw any food out. We had to wash the cans out. Sickening. Next came the ants. Also one bed had two fitted sheets. King b d has the hole coming back on right side. Frying pans left black on the pancakes, so old and used so much.

Reviewer Comments:
My family & I have rented Abernethy on 4 separate occasions, spending well over 15 thousand dollars. We always enjoyed the quite, clean cottage. Unfortunately, this was not the case during this stay. Early in the week, we quickly realized that we were constantly being "policed" by a lady that lived nearby. She would keep walking by the house trying to see if we were doing something wrong. One day while on the beach, a lightening storm suddenly approached. Trying to quickly make our way to safety, we followed this same lady down a pathway between two houses. Later that afternoon, I received a call from the realtor stating that she had reported us for trespassing. She continued to closely monitor everything we did for the remainder of the week. My family is made up of a teacher, headmaster, and an HR professional. All we wanted to do is quietly relax and unwind, but this was not the case. Garden City Reality and Abernethy are wonderful, but I cannot recommend this place if your looking for a relaxing, stress free, private vacation.

We had a lovely time here the week before Labor Day. The location is great, right across the street from a Public Access. I walked down most days to watch the sunrise. The pier is quite close as well. The cottage is very nice and much bigger than I thought at first. The front deck was a great place to relax and watch the beach goers. It is second row, but we could still see the ocean. The cottage was clean and well maintained. We plan to go back sometime soon and bring our kids and grandkids.

We really enjoyed our stay at Abernethy Cottage. The bungalow was reminiscent of beach houses of the past. The home was extremely clean and well taken care of. The location was perfect. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the waves come in on the beach. The only suggestion I’d offer is to invest in some new living room furniture. The material on the couch and loveseat was dingy and appeared soiled. We really didn’t want to sit on them.The staff at Garden City Reality was extremely helpful and great to deal with. We have rented a number of beach houses from them in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
