Waccamaw Dr., Garden City Beach, SC Beautiful Views & Beach Access Directly Across The Street! \*\*NEW TO BASK AWAY FOR 2026!! Life Is Grand is a custom beach home in Garden City Beach, SC, blending comfort and luxury. Perfect for families or groups, it features an open floor plan, private baths in every bedroom, water views, and covered porches for sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails. Amenities include a private pool (with optional heat), elevator, dual laundry rooms, and a gourmet kitchen with a massive island and oversized pantry. Concierge services, including a personal chef, can elevate your stay. Set on the quiet side of Garden City, the home is steps from the sand and walking distance to the marina’s dining and charters. Murrells Inlet’s Marsh Walk is just 10 minutes away with live music, fresh seafood, and waterfront fun, plus top-rated golf nearby. Whether for milestones, holidays, or a coastal getaway, Life Is Grand makes every gathering unforgettable. PRIVATE SALTWATER POOL (19.5' x 37') Open year-round. Pool heating is available in spring and fall (Apr 1–May 31, Sept 1–Oct 31) for an additional $500 + tax per week. Heating is only effective when temperatures—day and night—are forecasted to be above 60°F. We recommend checking the forecast closer to your stay (but at least 5 days prior) before adding heat. PRIVATE OVERSIZED SPA (12' x 6') This is an open-air spa, not an enclosed hot tub. Complimentary spa heat is provided year round; however, because it is open-air, the desired water temperature may not always be achievable when outdoor temperatures—day and night—are below 60°F. Spa heat is most effective during mild or warmer weather conditions.
