The Neighborhood
Welcome to the vibrant and charming Garden City, South Carolina, where sun, sandy beaches, and oceanscapes come together to create the perfect beachfront getaway. Our main attraction is our pristine beach, teeming with opportunities for boogie boarding, building sandcastles, parasailing, and swimming.

Grab your gear from Express Watersports or Village Surf Shoppe and head for the water. Or cast a line off the pier for an afternoon of fishing, then stroll along the boardwalk to take in the ocean vistas. And if you love nature and adventure or have kids in tow, Gilligan's Island Funland and the Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk will not disappoint.

What’s more, seafood lovers are in the right place. The Grand Strand offers a plethora of dining options for you to taste fresh catches. And family-friendly fun awaits along the Garden City Pier, where live music creates an electric atmosphere. With karaoke, arcade games, and full-service bars, there's something for everyone to enjoy. And don't forget to explore nearby Myrtle Beach, brimming with exciting attractions and entertainment for vacationers at any age.

Other Things to Note
While Memories in the Sand offers an idyllic retreat with breathtaking views and luxurious amenities, we want to ensure our guests are fully informed about aspects of beachfront living that might affect their stay.

In Harmony with Nature: Being nestled directly on the oceanfront means we're closer to the natural elements, including local wildlife. Despite our best efforts, you might encounter some insects during your stay. But not to worry—we schedule our exterminator to visit bi-weekly, ensuring any potential concerns are managed proactively.

Embrace the Ocean's Kiss: The salt spray from the sea is part of the unique charm of beachfront living. It's a reminder of the untamed beauty right at your doorstep. We're dedicated to maintaining the property meticulously, but the salty air is a natural element that we work with and embrace as part of our coastal experience.

Security and Privacy: The property has 8 exterior security cameras in the following locations: 2 cameras covering the driveway, 1 camera covering the rear bottom stairs, 1 camera covering the top of rear stairs, 1 camera at the elevator entrance, 1 camera entering the stairwell, and 2 cameras covering the underneath the house. Video footage is recorded for liability reasons only, is not shared, and in no way infringes upon the guests’ expectations of privacy in these public areas of the property. The goal of using security cameras is not to monitor guests’ coming and going but to prevent break-ins, stop a potential party, and identify suspicious activity.

Guest Responsibilities: To ensure a pleasant stay for everyone, we kindly request:

No Pets: We love animals but for maintenance and allergen considerations, pets are not permitted.

No Smoking or Vaping: To maintain a clean and fresh environment, smoking or vaping is not allowed on the premises.

No Parties or Events: Please respect the peaceful nature of our community by refraining from hosting parties or events.

Guest Screening: You authorize the property manager to use a third-party service to screen my identity and check criminal databases to confirm my reservation. Full terms regarding guest screening will be provided by the property manager. You may receive an email to complete your screening.

Electronic Boarding Pass: All guests are required to use our electronic boarding pass which includes a verification process to enhance security and ensure compliance with our house rules.

We understand these aspects of nature and our guest policies may be different from what you're used to, but we believe they add to the authentic beachfront experience, bringing you closer to the natural beauty of Garden City. Our commitment to your comfort and enjoyment is paramount, and we strive to ensure these natural occurrences are managed effectively so you can enjoy your beach getaway to the fullest.

Beachside dream

It was so nice to stay steps away from the beach and a short walk to the pier. The pier had karaoke and live bands every night. That is a must if you stay here! The kids enjoyed the 2 arcades in the area too. The house was immaculate inside! Had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect vacation

The home was beautiful and the location was perfect! We had one little incident (that was probably our fault) and the owner responded immediately to correct it. We sat on the deck every morning and evening enjoying the ocean view and played in the sand all day. We had 11 people in a group and there was more than enough room. We will go back.

Family Beach time

We had an awesome time staying at Memories in the Sand! The location was amazing, the house updated, and being only steps away from the ocean was great! We could step out onto our own spot of beach and it wasn't crowded. The pier was only a short walk away. The views from the outdoor living space was great and comfortable seating! Check in and check out was a smooth process! The host was very easy to contact and communicate with. We would stay again and this home.

Family Beach fun

The location was amazing!! The house was updated and had an awesome view! The host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions. We loved being steps away from the ocean and the shower on the parking garage made it easy to clean off after a day in the sand. Check in and out was smooth.

Great house for a family vacation.

The property has been remodeled top to bottom, and the bathrooms, kitchen, beds, TVs were all brand new. Property is on the sand and my family had an amazing time. We even left a few things and the owners were kind enough to mail them back to us.

Perfect location!!

This was far enough away from the overly crowded beaches and a short drive away from lots of things to do. The owner was kind enough to come out of his way to stop at the house to help us figure a few things out we had difficulties with. Super clean and great location, highly recommend!!!

Perfect for our situation!!

A group travelled for the college Bassmaster Nationals in Georgetown SC - short drive to takeoff and a great location under the house to work on the boat - the breeze from the ocean was terrific! The ocean view was beautiful and relaxing. The beach was fantastic - breezy with packed sand, great for long walks! The house was spacious and very comfortable and the cherry on top is the boys did great in the tournament!! Thank you!

This property fit all our needs. From 70 year old to 9 year old. I loved the location. Easy access to beach, easy car ride to everywhere: restaurants, miniature golf, shopping, groceries, etc. my favorite part of the property was the large covered porch. Comfy, people watching, breezy, etc. when it rained we could watch the storm but not get wet. Thanks!

Beyond perfect.

There are tons of properties for rent in the Myrtle Beach area. However, if you are looking for a home away from home, this is the perfect place for you. Not only is the home in a wonderful location right on the beach and within walking distance of shops, restaurants and entertainment, it is beautifully decorated with all the items you need for a comfortable stay. The home owners are also extremely responsive and top-notch folks. You will not find a better rental property, more beautiful location or better people to rent from in the Myrtle Beach area.
