5 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ 2619056 MLS
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.
