About this apartment rental

Enjoy this oceanfront, family-friendly condo! "Sea at Last"(Unit #3) is located in Southpointe Villas on the first floor of a 3-floor condo complex for easy beach and pool access steps away. Although incorporated into Murrells Inlet, this area is known as Garden City Beach. There is no elevator in Southpointe Villas, and this is one of only 8 condos on the ground floor which is a huge plus, and most of the other ground floor condos are not for rent. This one is just steps from the beach. Many updates have been made to the unit. Bedrooms were updated first and the kitchen next with quartz countertops, fresh paint, a new sink and faucet, and new hardware. This condo has excellent ratings and reviews.

Southpointe Villas offers an intimate setting, a spacious beach, and a very private feel. The oceanfront pool (open Easter through Oct. 31st) is near the walkway over the dunes. There is a rinse-off station on the walkway and an outdoor shower by the pool. Southpointe Villas has only 24 units, so communal areas are typically uncrowded making for a perfect family getaway. This wide, long stretch of beach has very limited public access. It is located 2.4 miles south of the Garden City Pier.

Southpointe Villas is the southern-most condo complex of Murrells Inlet/Garden City Beach before reaching the point. It is fully gated with a private beach access in an area with mostly private homes. You never need to fight the crowds for beach space! It is within walking distance to the popular Gulfstream Cafe and Marlin Quay Marina. Many other restaurants, golf courses, shops, etc. are within an easy drive.

This condo was listed on VRBO in the past by the Miles Family. We purchased it from them and have replaced the queen bed in the master bedroom with a new king-sized bed. We replaced the double bed in the second bedroom with a queen-sized bed. The bedrooms have new flooring and new area carpets. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom.

The master bedroom also has a full bath, en-suite. The second bedroom with the queen bed and a set of bunk beds and a full bath just outside the bedroom door. The sleeper sofa in the den folds out to a double bed.

The unit includes Wi-Fi, two flat-screen TVs, and a DVD player. We also have a blue-tooth system in the den. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. There is a patio with a view of the landscaped side yard. Outside grills are available for use on the grounds. We have a small, stackable washer/dryer, however, if you need to do a large load, there is a nice laundry room available for guests just below the pool on the edge of the complex. Check-out cleaning is included. Linens and bath towels are also included. Bring your own beach items and beach towels.

Shade awnings are allowed on the beach here in Georgetown County unlike Horry County to the north. There is plenty of local wildlife including birds and turtles.

-No smoking of any kind is permitted anywhere in the unit or on the balcony. (Includes vaping)

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this property. It was also modernized and well appointed. Very comfortable king bed. Convenient ground floor unit with very easy access to parking and the beach. The pool was nice as well. The owner, Martha, was super nice and very accommodating to our needs. We highly recommend this condo for a relaxing beach vacation. We have stayed in many similar units like this in the same area and this one was the nicest ever.
