Perfect location and plenty of space

We enjoyed our stay in Garden City and was pleased with the location and the space of the condo. This was my 8 year old nephew's first trip to the beach so it was extra special for him.

Steps from the beach

Great beach location for this multigenerational family. The locked bins on ground level made toting all the beach stuff a breeze. Very clean and comfortable beds. Enjoyed the balcony all throughout the day. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Host were wonderful and were quick to communicate.

Great location! Great value!

Great location right on the beach with access to a private pool. Condo was clean and neat, and owners were great to work with! Great area, close to lots of activities and restaurants, without being in Myrtle Beach. I would highly recommend!

Loved it!

We love this location! It is removed from the crowds and craziness of Myrtle, yet a short ride to every place we wanted to go. The condo was beautiful and immaculate. The view of the sunrise every morning from the balcony was amazing. The beach was clean and not too crowded and we loved walking to the pier at night for some live music

GREAT BEACH WEEK

Excellent host, clean and comfortable condo unit, over looks beach and pool, just north of the pier. As advertised. When the sun got to much on the beach, the pool started to go in-shade by midafternoon. This is an 18 unit condo building with it's own beach access so the beach area was not crowded like the beaches in front of high rise condos. A real plus.

The right choice

This was a great location, in Garden City. The condo was wonderful, clean, well equipped and so well layed out, it was like 3 separate suites. Everyone had privacy and our own baths. Nick was a great host and made our stay and check in easy. Having the separate entry way with a washer and dryer made coming in from the beach easy to drop the towels and sand. Beach access was great and the lockers with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and toys was a real bonus. We are so happy we chose this condo. ❤️

Wonderful Time

The condo is wonderful. Very clean, which is a top priority for our family. We purchased the linen package for $125 and had more than enough for our family of six. They even included beach towels. The condo is in the perfect location. Close to the pier and restaurants. Parking was never an issue. Loved the shade by the pool, and the pool was never too crowded. The fridge went out the first day, so the owner brought in a brand new fridge the next day. We had a great vacation.

2023 Vacation

Hadn't been to Myrtle Beach in about 13 years...a lot has changed since last time were here. The beach was clean and the ocean was blue and green like the gulf. Very happy with my stay at Dolphin Cove. Nick was very helpful and easy to work with. There was construction going on, which made the parking an ordeal but we survived. The only complaint that I had was with the parking. An overflow option would have been nice, but I do understand that it was limited.

Great Location and Unit!

We stayed from 4/19/2023- 4/24/2023. The unit was very nice and clean. It was well stocked with utensils and dishes. It was in the perfect location for us since we spent most of our time on the pier fishing. The owner was nice and responded to all of my questions. The pool was off limits during our stay which we weren't happy about. It was not communicated to us nor listed anywhere on the description so I wasn't too happy about that as we have a member of our group who has knee issues and can't really walk in the sand so we choose places with a pool for her. Overall a great stay though.

Perfect family spot!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for my family, which included two kids under 10. The beach and surrounding area was not crowded. The convenience of having storage bins for all of your beach items so close to the pool area and beach was amazing (it made lugging it all back and forth every day easy!) The storage bin also contained anything you’d need for your stay as far as beach chairs, sand toys, and umbrellas. Coolers were even available for use in the actual house. The private washer and dryer was so nice and convenient as well. 10/10 recommend this area and this property. The only downfall was the construction going on throughout our stay which made parking a little scarce some days and was very noisy while trying to relax at the pool on other days. We would absolutely book here again.
