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 this condo, 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. Under new ownership as of May 2024, many updates have been made to the unit. Bedrooms were updated last fall and the kitchen is being updated now in early 2025 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 has been 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 coin-operated 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)

Everything was excellent!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
My family of 3 spent a very enjoyable week at this location. The walk to the beach was short and easy …which made it convenient to pop back and forth as needed. The condo itself had all of the things that we needed during our stay …and was very comfortable. Martha was readily available for the one minor snafu that we encountered with the door lock when we first arrived …but that was quickly resolved, and we had no further challenges the rest of the week. The beach itself is a great one for kids …it is very sandy, with a gentle and slow grade out into the ocean …no quick drop off.

Excellent location in a quiet area of the beach. First floor unit was very convenient and needed with small childen. The unit itself was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family.

Sea at Last is a cute and charming little villa! It provided the six of us, four adults and two children, with the perfect place for an amazing beach vacation! The description on VRBO was accurate and the location was great! Just steps away from the beautiful beach which was never crowded, and a pool to also enjoy. There were so many restaurants and fun things to do nearby. The owner, Martha, was very easy to communicate with. We look forward to staying at Sea at Last on our next trip to Murrell's Inlet!
