Two oceanfront stays. Two ways to settle into the coast.
Some trips call for room to spread out. Others are about keeping things simple: a king bed, an oceanfront balcony, and a few days with less on the calendar.
The Salty Mermaid and Ocean Currents are both corner oceanfront units in Garden City Beach, South Carolina. Both have a private oceanfront balcony, a living-room sofa bed, a large electric fireplace, and a large living-room TV. The choice comes down to the space, layout, style, and amenities that matter most to your trip.
The Salty Mermaid: room to gather
With two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms, The Salty Mermaid makes it easy to spend time together while still having a little space of your own. The primary bedroom has a king bed; the second has a queen bed and trundle.
Start the day on the private oceanfront balcony, spend an afternoon by the pool or on the beach, then settle onto the living-room sofa bed beside the large electric fireplace and 75-inch TV. This corner unit has ocean views from the living room and primary bedroom, keeping the water close even when you are spending time inside.
A special detail at The Salty Mermaid: you can step from the oceanfront balcony onto the oceanfront stairs and go directly down to the beach.
The year-round hot tub is another reason to leave a little room for downtime. For a family trip, a getaway with friends, or two people who simply enjoy extra space, this is a lovely place to gather.
