1420 South Waccamaw Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a true coastal retreat offering the best of both worlds - direct proximity to the beach and deep-water creek access in the heart of Garden City Beach. Ideally positioned directly across the street from a public beach access, this raised beach home combines ocean views, inlet and marsh scenery, and private boating access from your own floating dock along the channel. The layout provides flexibility for a second home, vacation rental property or primary residence. This fully furnished 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers more than 3,100 heated square feet designed for comfortable coastal living and entertaining. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features multiple porches, spacious gathering areas, two gas fireplaces, first-floor bedrooms and baths, an elevator for convenient access between levels and an ex-large garage (1 - 60' x 11' bay and 1 smaller golf cart bay 25' x 7') with two enclosed storage rooms/shops (1 - 18' x 12' and 1 - 13' x 12'). Outdoor living is at the center of this property's appeal. Enjoy morning sunrises over the Atlantic and spend afternoons boating, fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding directly from your backyard with deep water access to the creek of Murrells Inlet. The combination of ocean views, marsh views, and waterfront access creates a unique setting that is increasingly difficult to find along the South Carolina coast. Located on the peninsula of Garden City Beach, just a short walk from Marlin Quay Marina, The Quay Bar & Grill and Gulf Stream Cafe, it is also a short ride to all the area's additional dining, entertainment, golf, and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, this property offers the coastal lifestyle buyers dream about - with public beach access literally steps away and private creekfront access in your backyard.
