Three color TVs (cable), DVD player, and Wi-Fi are also provided. Sleeping accommodations include two queen, and three double-sized beds, plus one queen-sized sofa bed.

Additionally, Garden City Realty does not ensure these items are available as shown. This property may have video, audio or similar exterior surveillance equipment.
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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker.

Inlet Joy is the best of both worlds. You get to carry your boat with a private dock and enjoy the Inlet. And just a few steps in the other direction is the Sand and Surf. My young Grandsons really enjoyed it as well as us Big Kids. 😎😎. Overall a great place to enjoy family and friends.

Reviewer Comments:
The home needs some updating, there's no water pressure in the master bath, sink clogged if you leave the little bit of water running. The 4th bedroom was not cleaned, and no linens were left for the bed. It was pricey for the condition of home but thought it would be easier with the boat landing for my husband, but you can only put in the boat and take out the boat on high tide.

The Corley Family has stayed at Inlet Joy for many years and have loved it. For the last 5 years we have stayed 2 consecutive weeks. When I called to reserve our 2 weeks go next year, we were told that we could only have one of the weeks. With much disappointment from our family, we hav had to leave Garden City Realty and move on to a new chapter in our life 🙁 Also the grass was knee high when we arrived and still had not been cut when we left after our 2 week stay.

I have rented Inlet joy 4 out of the last 5 years, the back porch screen door opens out which could cause someone to fall backwards down the stairs, the TV in the master bedroom has no volume control and could use tv's in 2 other bedrooms, a light at the coverd dock would be nice,

Reviewer Comments:
The location was great but the Inlet Joy needs some love and care. The dock and boat ramp are a plus. However, the covered dock could use some furniture. The house was not very clean and needs updated stove/oven. There was no light in the kitchen or in the showers. The outside shower was filthy and needs upgrades.

The house is cute and the boat dock and slip are very nice and convenient, however the palm tree makes it difficult when hauling a boat. There has been water leaks in the 2nd bathroom which made us worry durning our stay. The lawn had not been mowed in weeks which was not very aesthetically pleasing.
