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)

    Hands down the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. This property is absolutely ideal.The sweet condo is spotless, comfortable, and beautifully appointed, with thoughtful attention to every detail.The location is truly special. It is a gated property very close to the marina, and the condo is literally steps from the sand and the Atlantic Ocean. The inlet and wildlife are on one side and the ocean is on the other. It is rare to find a small condo-style property like this with direct beach access on this stretch of the Strand.Our host, Martha, is exceptional. She is prompt, responsive, and incredibly kind and helpful. This is a real gem, especially if you love the best of the inlet and the ocean!

    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.

    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!

    We just returned from a week’s stay. My family and I loved the condo, the beach and the area. The condo was super clean and stocked well. Everything you need was a short drive away. Very friendly people to communicate with. The owner made everything so easy. We would definitely try to stay here again.

    We had a great stay in this beautiful location and condo on Murrells Inlet. The condo is well represented in the pictures and description in listing. We had absolutely no issues during our stay. The owner Martha responded to all our communications as quickly as your friends would. This is the last complex on the inlet and made the beach uncrowded all week. We were the only people to use the pool until our last day. The Condo was furnished nicely and we had plenty of room for our family of six. Beds were comfortable and room with bunk beds had room for a playpen for our youngest grandchild. We ate dinner at the Quay, good food and service and unbeatable views but very limited parking at restaurant. We recommend this rental, location and owner.

    I took three of my children to Murrell’s Inlet for a spring break getaway. This property was perfect for what we needed. Martha was easy to get ahold of and checked in on us a few times. It was so easy to access the beach and the pool was great for a change of scenery. We would definitely come back!

    For our short trip to Garden City, this was the perfect place for us. Very clean, beautifully decorated and being on the first floor made it much easier coming in and out. Just steps away from the beach!

    We had a fantastic time. The pool was amazing and we always had it by ourselves. The beach is so close, simply a two minute walk. Margret was wonderful to work with and very accommodating. Highly recommend it!
