Home Description

**SC IS OPEN for BUSINESS! Restaurants are back to normal, no masks required for dining/bars/bands; all going at 100%!**

Fireworks on the beach? It's legal in Garden City and everyone heads down there with their own fireworks, from sparklers to professional grade huge bursts, and has a friendly competition lasts well after the pink sunset. Or perhaps, some live music on the pier, fresh oysters, a sunset dolphin cruise, drinks by the fire pit, or maybe band-hope at the many venues on the Murrell's Inlet Marshwalk? Some fun at Helios will be a great way to enjoy your vacation!

The best location for going out or staying in.... Only 0.5 mile from gorgeous Garden City beach, great restaurants, world class golfing, and Garden City Pier .8 mile, all an easy ride or walk.

Kitchen is well-appointed for the gourmet and dining service for 18 is right at your fingertips.

About The Area

The best part of Helios is being near the ocean at Garden City Beach with something for everyone to enjoy. Whether it is baking in the sun, body-surfing and swimming in the ocean, building sand castles, surfing, fishing, para-sailing, golfing, shopping, reading a juicy novel, renting jet skis, arcades, miniature golf, riding the Pie Eyed Parrot sunset cruise, scuba diving, live music, restaurants and local seafood, driving at the mini-Nascar track, collecting sea shells, riding the dolphin-watch boat, or the nightly fireworks, Garden City Beach and Murrells Inlet have something for everyone! Fireworks are allowed on the beach until 11 pm and we have some fireworks stores within walking distance of Helios; summers have official fireworks and you’re sure to see some revelers out there every night adding their own. You can keep enjoying our spacious entertaining area under the house well after dark! We have automatic on-and-off café lights under the house (bright enough to grill but not too bright), and under-house dining area and sofa, pool-side dining, a large gas grill, and lounge chairs.

Helios is close to everything the Grand Strand has to offer and is perfect for those looking for a quiet family neighborhood with less traffic. You won’t hear the wild parties of the first row, the 4 AM garbage truck, constant traffic, and linen deliveries of the big hotels. Located between Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island, Helios it a short drive to attractions at either of these popular tourist locations. For history lovers, and/or veterans, it is around 1.5 hours to the gem of the south: Charleston. Visit Patriot’s Point and tour the USS Yorktown, checking out her impressive number of ships downed during WWII! Many say the ship is haunted, and Charleston has several ghost tours, as well! Charleston is rich in history, architecture, fine restaurants, plantations, shopping, and unique Southern charm; it is a comfortable one day outing from Garden City. Brookgreen Gardens, just 10 minutes south, is th largest sculpture exhibit in the US and includes a zoo, butterfly house, train, frequent live music and other entrtainment. Our two Tanger outlet malls (17N at 22; and 501) are perfect for finding some great deals: not to be missed outlets include the North Face, Coach, Under Armor, Vera Bradley, and others, as well as many sunglasses shops. Barefoot Landing is a fun walking destination of outdoor shops and restaurants; they have tigers on display as well as some unusual stores for fudge, kites, and magic. Alligator Adventure next door includes a thrilling dinner “show” and a lot of interesting animals, and Alabama Theater and House of Blues offer great night-time entertainment indoors and out. Don’t miss  Ripley’s Aquarium at Broadway, it includes a conveyor-belt ride under the sea with hundreds of animals (the saw fish and the sea dragons are a must see)!

Wonderful Place To Stay

We loved the house, the location, and the large parking space. It was a stand alone rental house, not a duplex or a condo and therefore no loud noise from neighbors or children. We can’t wait to stay here again. We have stayed at many other townhouses and condos around Myrtle Beach and they are very noisy and parking is a hassle. But not at this place, it was convenient and quiet. There was lots of room for everyone and morning coffee on the porch was extra relaxing. Access to the beach was very close and the added convenience of a golf cart was wonderful. The owner even included a guest booklet packed with details of the rental and the surrounding area. We will book here again.
