Creekfront Beach Retreat with Private Dock & Boat Ramp, Just Two Blocks to the Sand! Imagine starting your mornings on the deck, coffee in hand, looking out over open water. Spend the afternoon on the beach two blocks away, then come back to fish for flounder off your own dock at sunset. Homes with this mix of creek views, private water access and walk-to-the-beach location rarely come up in Garden City Beach. Whether you want a second home, a full-time coastal home or a standout vacation rental, this one is ready.

Atlantic Avenue, the Garden City Pier, restaurants and nightlife are just moments away. The Murrells Inlet MarshWalk and some of the Grand Strand’s best seafood are a short drive. Designer-renovated, inside and out. An interior designer reimagined this home, and it shows. A blue hexagon-tile entry opens to ¾" engineered hardwood floors and exposed beams reclaimed from the original home. Large windows frame deep-water creek views and fill the space with natural light. Open it all up to the coastal breeze.

A 9-foot NanaWall accordion door folds away completely, joining the living room to the inlet-facing deck for true indoor-outdoor living. In the kitchen, a NanaWall fold-out window does the same. The kitchen pairs quartz countertops and a custom tile backsplash with charming Big Chill vintage-style appliances, a feature guests will remember and post about. Built for beach life and low maintenance. The lower level is finished with sealed concrete floors, spray foam insulation, waterproof Azek trim and shiplap. Its vanity is made from reclaimed lumber from the original home.

Outside are Hardie board siding, a standing seam metal roof (2020), composite decking with modern cable railing and a custom fence (2022). A dam wall is designed to help guard against tidal flooding. Recent updates include a new HVAC deck (late 2025) and upgraded stone landscaping. Made for entertaining. The covered back porch has a custom serving bar made from the original home’s reclaimed beams. An oversized hot and cold outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off sand after a beach day. Your own slice of the creek.

The private dock and boat ramp are ready for boating, kayaking and fishing in a creek known locally as a flounder hotspot. Creek views, character and a walk to the beach: this is the coastal home buyers wait for. Schedule your showing today!
