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 Cafe, 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.
Whatever your desire, whatever your need, the Grand Strand offers something on everyone's to-do list. We have a variety of restaurants, retail stores, miniature golf, entertainment venues, charter fishing, water sports... and, of course, nothing but relaxation.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall it was a good stay. Spacious enough for four of us and it slept 8. I was a little disappointed in a couple of things. The floors had not been cleaned after previous guests and before we entered at 4:00. The sliding door became too hard to open but we put some olive oil on it and cleaned it up so it would slide more efficiently. No low dryer for hair. I loved the fact it slept 8 with 2.5 baths. The one thing I really dislike with no fault of the owners is parking and entering the same ramp used for cars coming down. That can cause frustration. We had a good week but the parking situation is a big no for future stays.

It was great all around. The room was clean, ocean was literally a few steps off the pool, very clean beach. It was generally fairly quiet. No people randomly screaming late at night. Easy access to pier a half mile away. Very close to murrells inlet for pirate cruise and plenty of good places to eat nearby that were reasonably priced. Also cool arcade at the pier for kids and fishing as well.

Reviewer Comments:
The overall experience was very good. The check in procedure and late evening check in time could be improved. The biggest complaint we had is the lack of communication concerning repair and service people appointments. The last two years we've rented, we have had several repair people just appear with no warning, knock, and if we don't get to the door immediately, they all just unlock our door and come in! That needs changed! It is very unsafe and unsettling to realize other people have keys to your rental. My cell number is on file and we should have been made aware these people were on their way. Otherwise, our experience was great.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. However, I was expecting something a little more special from a Penthouse. The condo was no different from other condos in the same building. We did enjoy our view of the marshland from this particular unit. I was disappointed by the dust bunnies and lint left beside the bed. We had to go to the store immediately upon our arrival as there was not any toilet paper in the 3 bathrooms. Also missing was soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. In the kitchen, there was not any dish detergent. The bed in the first bedroom was very stiff and made loud noises with every move. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will return to Royal Gardens. However, I would not spend the extra money on a Penthouse.

Love this condo! Only thing was both bedroom mattresses were hard to sleep on. Every move someone made you could hear squeaking. Just turning over the mattresses were noisy! Don't sleep well in either room because of this issue. We have stayed in this condo and never had that issue. They must have changed things since last year when we stayed in this condo.

We were not impressed with the entrance once we arrived. The inside was marked up with black streaks on the door facings that made it look nasty. It also smelled bad. The kitchen remodel was nice. There was an end table on the balcony that was rusted and broken as well as the ironing board that were unusable. They also need to replace the mattress set in the bedroom with the light bedspread. It has had it!We will not rent this property again

Reviewer Comments:
Royal Garden Resort PH 1610 was in a great location, close by everything that we wanted to be in proximity to. The condo was very spacious with a nice view of the ocean and the kitchen was nice. However, whoever is hired to clean the condo does NOT do a good job! Yes, the floors were swept, kitchen was clean, toilets clean, furniture dusted, along with clean linens & towels, etc., but the floors had not been mopped in who knows how long. Our first night there we were walking around the condo barefoot & all 4 of us had black feet. The bathroom floors were dirty along with the bathtubs. Not to say the tubs weren't cleaned, but not well cleaned. There were also cobwebs in the upper corners of the living room & hanging from the ceiling in places. Also, our bed was like sleeping on a rock. The other couple that was sharing the condo with us said the same thing about their bed. Other than the cleanliness & beds, nice place to stay. These two issues are very easily remedied. New cleaning crew & softer mattresses! Possibly sending someone in to check the cleanliness before guests arrive would be wise also. Minor changes & you get 5 stars across the board! I normally don't write reviews, especially bad ones, because I know things happen occasionally. However, this condo has not been deep cleaned for a while & it needs it. I would like to say that I would stay here again, but after coming home & viewing other properties in the area for next year, I'll pay a few hundred more for a more updated & cleaner condo.

The room (1610) we stayed in definitely could’ve been cleaned a little better than it was (I cleaned a lot when I stayed). It was a little out dated on some things. But overall it was a great place! Royal gardens is amazing, definitely with the little bar by the pool.. wish it was a little more affordable, but it’s at the beach at peak time. 🤷🏼♀️ So it’s understandable! This is the perfect place if you love ocean front, andddd the fact they have a indoor and outdoor pool and a hot tub!!!! You can not beat this place for the price. Will definitely be staying again!!! .... Also the table on the balcony definitely needs replaced lol

We love this rental property (location especially). This penthouse needs to be deep cleaned, (fans, top of fridge, behind washer and dryer and floors deeply cleaned). The bedroom to the right as you walk in needs new mattresses. They sink in the middle on both sides of the mattress. The oven burnt everything on the bottom even with rack on top. Light burnt out in microwave. Couches were also wore out just to sit on them. Would recommend if updated.

T he e rental was good. However, the condo needs some upgrades. The front bedroom window facing the ocean needs to be replaced due to high air leakage and loss of gas between insulated glass panels. The door and window unit, facing the ocean, needs to be replaced or gaskets replaced again, high air leakage felt. Entrance door needs new gasket to stop drafts.
