Garden Sands is a low-rise coastal condominium complex built in 1985, composed primarily of two- and three-bedroom residences arranged across a few stories with exterior access. Units typically offer compact, beach-oriented floor plans with living/dining combos, solid-surface or updated counters, and a mix of durable flooring types (tile/LVP) suited for low-maintenance coastal use. Many homes include covered balconies or decks that capture ocean or marsh glimpses, and interiors frequently show coastal finishes such as wainscoting, beamed ceilings, ceiling fans, and window treatments. The property’s common areas center on a resident pool and landscaped grounds with sprinkler irrigation; outdoor features also include patios, porches, fencing, and direct public beach access a short walk across the street. Parking is surface-level adjacent to the building, and several units on lower floors offer especially easy access without long stair climbs. The HOA is noted for modest monthly fees that often include insurance coverage; onsite laundry amenities and in-unit washer/dryer hookups appear in many residences. Pet policies are more permissive than typical area complexes, with at least some units allowing dogs. Located in Garden City Beach near the Garden City Pier and a few blocks from downtown amenities, the complex sits within easy reach of Murrells Inlet dining and Myrtle Beach attractions, supporting both seasonal vacation use and year-round living.
