Family Getaway
This stay was perfect for us! I loved sitting on the balcony looking out at the water. According to my husband, the king-sized bed is easily the best mattress ever! We brought some of our own things (chairs, etc) for the beach, but it was awesome to have so many extras in the storage closet (chairs, body boards, umbrellas, toys, etc). I would definitely like to stay here again!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Dolphin Watch! The unit was very clean, spacious and inviting. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect! We were steps from the beach. It was a nice short walk to the Garden City Pier and our new favorite homemade ice cream shop, Drippy's! Dolphin Watch is accurately named! Every morning around 7-730am while having coffee on the porch, we caught glimpses of dolphins heading towards the pier. Connie was very helpful and quick to respond anytime I had questions. We definitely hope to make many return trips to Dolphin Watch!!

Very nice apartment, great location, building needs updating
Overall, our extended weekend in Garden City and Murrells inlet was great. The Dolphins Watch apartment is very much as advertised, well appointed, clean 3 bedroom apartment with a terrific view of the Atlantic. Very centrally located.
I will point out that the building that this apartment is in is in need of repair. Aside from no elevator (2nd floor apartment, which means 3 flights up due to the building being raised), which really wasn't a problem other than dealing with luggage, some of the other apartments had broken windows, and the porch outside the apartment seemed to be leaning (I would not recommend leaning on the railings), which was a bit concerning. The carpeting in the outside walkways was also very aged. My overall rating and cleanliness rating was because of the building, not the apartment.
The apartment itself is a lovely apartment, clean and comfortable (starting to show its age a bit if I'm being totally honest) and the owners were very easy to work with and accommodating.
Overall, this is a nice beach apartment.

Perfect Stay
We loved this stay. We’ve stayed at many different units for short getaways along the southern coast, and every single place we’ve stayed (at even twice the price point) do not come stalked with ANYTHING. No cooking utensils, basic spices, soap, detergent… this host has it all to make basic meals for your family, basic spices and comes with coffee pods! I liked having full size soap bars, also. It’s the little things! The mattresses are very comfortable, the home is very clean, and it is much closer to the beach than we thought. You literally walk 25 feet and you’re on the gorgeous beach. We will absolutely be back and staying here!

Girls weekend
We really enjoyed our time at Dolphins Watch.
Such a cute place. Had all the things we needed for a girls weekend. Spent a lot of time on the porch. Very close to all the things we wanted to do. Our one suggestion is that it was a little musty. Particularly the cabinets in the kitchen. Could use a dehumidifier or some damp rid. Other than that, a perfect spot.

We loved our 1 week stay at Dolphin’s Watch! Highlights include the front entryway to drop off your beach things & shoes, the included beach towels and accessories and the balcony view. I particularly appreciated the well stocked kitchen so we could have home cooked family meals together. Even though there were ample chairs available we chose to take advantage of the beach service for chairs and umbrellas since we had a baby in tow. Speaking of baby, the second bedroom had the perfect spot for his pack n play, toys and included a book shelf. We will definitely return to Dolphin Watch in the future!

Clean and as described
We enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Watch. It was clean and just as described. The beach is so close! We used the stored beach chairs one day while we were there. I’m glad we didn’t have to pack ours! We had one issue with the code not working, but I sent Connie a message and she got back to me very quickly with a new working code. She also answered all my questions in a timely manner. If we stay in this area again, we would definitely consider staying here!
