Where else can you wake up to the Atlantic Beach and fall asleep to the sound of the creek? 2254 S Waccamaw Dr is a rare Garden City Beach estate that gives you both — ocean in front, protected water access in back, all within one exceptional property in Inlet Harbour! This nearly 6,000-square-foot home was built around its views. 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms- Every room is a great size and looks out onto the water, natural light pours in from every angle, and the balconies practically demand a slow morning with coffee or a sunset toast in the evening. At the heart of the home, the chefs kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. Custom cabinetry, butler's pantry, generous counter space, a Wolf range and stove, oversized pantry and a breakfast nook. Heart pine floors carry warmth through the entire house, giving the home a timeless, lived-in elegance that feels equally right for daily life or hosting a crowd. An elevator makes every level effortless to reach, while all-under-house parking keeps things clean and protected below. A dedicated office/library offers a quiet retreat for work, and fireplaces on every level add extra character! Out back, there's room to dream — plenty of space to add a pool, plus an existing outdoor fireplace already set up for cool evenings with friends. Part of what makes this location so special is the balance it strikes — close enough to the beach, yet tucked back just enough to provide a sense of privacy. That buffer, paired with true deep-water creek access, is a rare combination in Garden City Beach — giving homeowners the best of both worlds: easy beach access without being right on top of it, and a private dock ready for boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the water at your own pace. Beyond its appeal as a private residence, 2254 S Waccamaw Dr also presents a compelling investment opportunity. With no short-term rental restrictions, the home is well-suited for use as a high-end vacation rental, offering strong income potential in a market where waterfront properties with both ocean views and dock access are in high demand. The location also puts you just minutes from Marlin Quay Marina, the Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk, nearby state parks and many attractions. Schedule your showing today!
