Mermaid Tales

Weekly & Monthly Discounts Available!

Welcome to Mermaid Tales, a privately owned beach home just steps from the ocean in beautiful Garden City Beach, Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.

Perfect for families, couples traveling together, and groups of friends, this spacious three-level townhouse combines the comfort of a private home with an unbeatable coastal location. Set in a small oceanfront grouping of private beach homes, Mermaid Tales is the second townhouse from the beach, giving you easy access to the sand, beautiful ocean views, and a peaceful setting away from crowded resort areas.

The home features three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, an oversized two-car garage, and two large balconies with ocean views. The bright, open kitchen connects to comfortable living and dining areas, making it easy to prepare meals, gather together, and enjoy quality time after a day at the beach. With ocean views throughout, Mermaid Tales gives you plenty of opportunities to relax and reconnect without sacrificing space or convenience.

Start your morning with beautiful ocean views from the king-size bed in the Sunrise bedroom, or enjoy coffee on the balcony while listening to the waves. After a day in the sun, rinse off, settle into the comfortable living area, and dine outdoors as the coastal breeze rolls in.

Comfortable furnishings and locally inspired artwork create a welcoming nautical and coastal atmosphere that feels relaxed, personal, and distinctly beachside.

This beach townhouse is amazing. It is right on the beach and the views from the balconies are perfect. It had everything we needed and just felt like home. Communication with the owner was great, he is very fast to respond and very nice to speak with. We will definitely be coming back soon and would recommend it to everyone.
