PittsburghWe thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. Perfect location to the beach and other venues around the area. The keyless entry and no-contact arrival was great. The Garden City pier is about 3/4 mile down the road with great entertainment.
The only improvement that we would suggest is to have more skillets available in the condo (a 1 serving and 2 serving sized skillet is not enough for a rental for 8 people). We cook all meals, so we had to get creative and meals took longer to prepare without larger skillets.
Also—for awareness before booking: there are 51 stairs to the unit, right to the door. There is also elevator access and the complex has a dolly or 2 for luggage. If you use the elevator, you still have to descend 5-6 stairs to get to the unit’s door. That did not lend itself to easy entry because we had to unload everything from the dolly to get down those stairs.
Overall, we would rent this unit again if we ever came back to Garden City Beach.
RoanokeMorning coffee and evening cocktails on the porch, watching boats go in and out of the inlet. Short walk across the street to the beach. Love staying at Marlin Quay.
Kristy S.BentonvilleOur family of 12 enjoyed the house, location and pool. The house gave us ample space to hang out together and yet have private space when wanted. The front deck off the living room quickly became our morning and evening hangout spot! The beach access was amazing.. super close and convenient. House was clean and modern, very comfortable. We had a minor issue with one of the toilet handles and maintenance was there promptly to fix it. We will definitely try to book this same house our next time vacationing in the area!
Apple CreekIt was very nice and clean and had everything that we needed to make our stay feel like home! We were very satisfied with our ocean front condo and would definitely rent it again.
Chantel G.Leesville2026 at Simply Dune Our Thing was just as perfect as 2025! So we have already booked for 2027! We love the cottage feel of the upstairs, with plenty of room for our family. The downstairs studio is perfect for that family member who may just need their quiet space. The shower downstairs is small and eater pressure could be better, but it works. Fenced in yard for our 2 dogs is perfect and I dare to say, one of the largest private pools in GCB. The beach peek from the front porch is cool. You can't go wrong staying at Simply Dune Our Thing!

Kevin C.Tega CayThe unit was clean and worked well for my family. There was plenty of space. The additional drink fridge came in handy. We accidentally broke the coffee karaf and the management team promptly provided a replacement. Felt very safe. There was construction on the beach, but was really only a minor annoyance. Only minor items for improvement...one of the elevators light did not illuminate for PH, but still worked. The unit is due for a master bathroom remodel. We would stay there again!
VernonWe really enjoyed our stay at Southern Sunrise! There was more than enough room for everyone to have their own space and the location close to the beach was perfect. We also enjoyed the pool, it was just big enough for us to relax and have the young kids swim a bit. The elevator was immensely beneficial as well! The 3rd floor bathtub/shower needs some attention and the cookware definitely needs to be updated/maintained. But overall, we had a great vacation experience! Close to the beach, good food options, the pier, shopping and entertainment! Food shopping delivery and pick up options from the local Walmart Supercenter was a huge help. Definitely would recommend for large families and groups of friends!
ApalachinGuest House 108 fully met our expectations as advertised. The accommodations were comfortable and well-equipped, and the close proximity to the beach was a significant advantage. While occasional nighttime noise from vehicles and individuals was a minor drawback, the overall experience remained highly enjoyable. Garden City Realty provided exceptional service throughout our stay, from the initial reservation to our departure, including proactive check-ins to ensure our satisfaction.
Barbara M.McConnellsRepeat stay for our family in Amazing Grace and we had another wonderful week! Great beach home with an easy walk to the beach and the pier. Well stocked kitchen. Clean and comfortable living spaces. Enclosed porches are a plus for the littles to safely play and enjoy morning coffee. Pool area is fun after a day at the beach and night swims (kids loved the pool light that changes colors)! Stove and refrigerator could use an update, but they serve the purpose. Bunk bedroom doesn't cool off as well, so we had to keep a fan running. We will definitely rent again!
SenacaThis wes perhaps our eleventh year at Inlet Joy...excellent dock for fishing and crabbing, boat ramp for fisherman and just across the street from beach access on a non crowded portion of then beach. Excellent sunsets from the screened porch and a large enough backyard to fly a kite...
Sherri F.RockwallWe truly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfectly set up for the hubs, our older boys and me. We made those stinkers sleep on the other side of the house. We enjoyed being close to the beach and having a fishing dock in the back yard. My only hesitation in staying her again is there is not a washer/dryer. Not a deal breaker but do enjoy not having SO much laundry to do when we get back home.
PinewoodWe really enjoyed our stay at Tide Tonic. This is a large home and is very well maintained. We had everything we needed for our large group. Have already booked again for next July fourth week. If you’re looking for a beautiful home on the marsh for a large group, Tide Tonic is it.
YorkVery nice house. Nicely furnished. No huge dunes to cross over to get to the beach.
Brent G.West ColumbiaIt was great place
