Treated like criminals at check in
At checkin at Garden City Realty, I was accused of falsifying the contract and told in a threatening manner that the owners did NOT rent to 'my type'. Two women took the packet to the back while I was left waiting. Then 3 LARGE men came out and tried to intimidate me into leaving. I was called a liar and they demanded all of my guests come in and hand over their licenses to be vetted. They finally relented and said our background checks were ok and gave us the code to check in. As we were leaving, one of the large men said they would be watching us and if we did anything wrong that they would kick us out, not let us gather our belongings and no refund. They tried to scare us into leaving. I'd paid 3 months in advance and filled out the contract with all of the information on my guests and all was ACCURATE. It was an unbelievable experience that I will never forget. I did absolutely everything perfectly and honestly on the contract, 3 MONTHS ahead of time and at checkin I am treated like a criminal in front of my friends. I am still shocked that a business would treat customers so unprofessionally. My friends are all educated professionals who plan to report this to the BBB and the C of C. The unit was fine, and matched the photos. The location was great. If not for the threats at checkin it would have been a very nice vacation. But Garden City Realty ruined it. I thought you should know.

Dirty!!!
This property needed serious attention. We covered the couches with sheets just to sit on them. Sand caked in the corners of the stairs. We bought new comforters because the ones available had to be from the 70’s! They were disgusting! We found earrings and q-tips beneath the sheets! Not worth the money!

Had to wash dishes and cookware prior to using. Rattan headboard is full of dust. Lots of dust under both couches. House could use a thorough cleaning. Beach was awesome. Location was good.

Good location but be warned
It really is a good location,smack dab next to garden city pier. So walking distance to lots of stuff but this also means that traffic is kind of an issue and traffic sounds. Or karaoke sounds from the pier lol. Steps from the beach. Downsides to make you aware of would be cost of linen is more than the average and the Internet is not good. When we called about it we were told that “everyone usually uses their own data”. The library 8 min away has great internet though. Mattresses worn bad and need to be replaced and back door needs a screen so you can listen to ocean without bugs. Most of this is trivial and they can improve on

Awesome Vacation Rental
We enjoyed our stay at this beach rental. It was close to the pier in Garden City. A live band on one end and karaoke on the other end. Great view of the ocean. Great customer service on a maintenance issue. Very prompt response. I would suggest adding a grill for outdoor cooking. Overall very happy.
