1217 N Waccamaw Dr.

Welcome to Wow on Waccamaw, a premier second row beach retreat in the heart of Garden City Beach offering exceptional space, strong vacation rental performance, and easy beach access just a short distance across the street. This expansive seven bedroom, 7.5 bath coastal getaway is designed for large gatherings, beach vacations, and investment potential while delivering the relaxed lifestyle buyers are searching for along the South Carolina coast. One of the property’s most unique advantages is its impressive overall scale and setting compared to many surrounding second row beach homes. Positioned on a large corner lot, the home features a noticeably larger footprint, expanded outdoor living space, and ample/overflow parking rarely found in comparable vacation rental properties along this stretch of the beach, including additional side yard parking if needed. Outdoor amenities include a private pool, hot tub, covered entertaining spaces, spacious porches, and multiple gathering areas ideal for relaxing after a day on the beach. The nearby beach access makes enjoying the ocean simple and convenient for owners and guests alike. Inside, the home features oversized bedrooms, spacious accommodations throughout, and ensuite bathrooms for every bedroom, creating both privacy and comfort for family and guests. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes two impressive primary suites, one located on the main living level and another upstairs, ideal for multi generational ownership or maximizing guest flexibility. The open concept main living area is filled with natural light and flows seamlessly between the kitchen, dining, and gathering spaces, creating an ideal setup for entertaining large groups. The kitchen features extensive cabinetry, generous prep space, breakfast bar seating, and functionality suited for full time living or high occupancy vacation rental use. Just off the kitchen is a true dedicated laundry room, not simply a hall closet, thoughtfully positioned away from the bedrooms to help minimize noise and disruption during guest stays. Coastal inspired finishes and vibrant beach décor create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home, while the multiple porches and outdoor spaces allow guests to fully enjoy the relaxed coastal lifestyle. This meticulously maintained property reflects true pride of ownership. The current owners are extremely hands on and provide consistent personal attention to the property on a weekly basis, helping ensure the home remains well cared for, clean, functional, and guest ready throughout the year, with positive guest reviews and multiple repeat renters returning year after year to back it up. Recent renovations and improvements include a new roof installed in 2020, HVAC systems replaced in 2019 and serviced annually under warranty, new hot water heaters in 2024, pool motor replacement in 2024, and a new hot tub added in 2022. The interior and exterior were freshly painted in 2025, while additional updates include a new refrigerator in 2023, dishwasher and microwave in 2024, washer and dryer in 2020, new stove and grill in 2026, and flooring and carpets professionally steam cleaned in 2024. Nearly all mattresses have been replaced within the last three years, along with updated living room couches in 2025. The property sells fully furnished with only a few select paintings and personal items excluded. Conveniently located between downtown Garden City Beach and Surfside Beach, this home offers easy access to both areas and all they have to offer including the Garden City Pier, Surfside Pier, restaurants, shopping, live entertainment, arcades, golf, and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk less than 10 minutes away. Whether you are searching for a proven investment property, second home, or spacious beach getaway for family and friends, Wow on Waccamaw delivers size, location, and coastal appeal rarely found in today’s Garden City Beach market.
