Avid Travelers Excited To Explore SC Beaches!

We are so excited about our upcoming trip to Garden City Beach and our stay at Star Haven. While avid travelers, we have never been to South Carolina’s beaches, looking forward to exploring a new place. I have said every day for the past two weeks, “I can’t wait to go on vacation!”. Fingers crossed for great weather.

Rented With Garden City Realty For 25 Years!

My family and I have been renting through Garden City Realty for over 25 years. They have always taken care of us and our needs. Never disappointed!

Great proximity to beach, pier and hwy 17. The four bedroom, 4 bath was perfect for my family of 5 adults. Having the pool and deck is a nice option. Glad to see those steps got painted light gray, making it not near as hot. The kitchen was well stocked. We don't want to stay anywhere else when we go to the beach.

We just love this place. Not too hectic and busy and can walk around. You are literally in the sand when you walk downstairs. Everything was perfect.

We had a great week here! The location was perfect. We really enjoyed the pool; it is a great size with lots of chairs and tables. The shelf was a perfect spot for our youngest to sit and play. My kids loved all of the wildlife in and around the pond, geese, ducks, herons, turtles and fish that jumped constantly! The grill and tables were great to use for lunch and jumping back in pool. Beach access was 2 min away and the playground we visit when we come was less than 10. The kitchen is very well stocked. I was so glad to see plastic kid bowls and plates. There was plenty of cookware. We sat on the deck upstairs and relaxed in the early morning and evening. There is a gate to close off the stairs so that was helpful with young kids. The house is nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable.
The only negatives (that will not deter me from renting again honestly) are that the washing machine and AC are incredibly loud. There was no doing laundry at night, I tried to make sure we would be mostly outside when it was on. When the AC came on, it felt great but conversation or TV volume definitely had to go up to compensate. The house is older so the doors do stick and can be hard to close.
We had an issue our last night and had to call maintenance out to help. When were finally able to get through, a person came quickly and was friendly and efficient in correcting our problem. It was an after hours call, so the we had to use the emergency number who basically just tried to take a message for when the office opened. We were finally able to get them to understand that 1) this is the emergency line, we would not call if it was not needed right away. 2) It was our last night and we needed to leave before the office opened. It's an emergency line, do not tell people to wait until the next day.

That didn't really affect our stay, just frustrating in the moment. We would stay here again for sure!!

In general this unit was clean and well decorated however it was in need of maintenance and updating. Sliders and screens did not lock and/or open & bathrooms were showing typical signs of salt corrosion. A little TLC would go along way. Great location and view on the beach!

We had a nice, relaxing, and restful week at Surfmaster in condo 206. This was our second time staying in 206, so for the most part, we knew what to expect: comfortable furniture, a spacious, King Bed, and am oceanfront view that was perfect for us!. There were two things that need to be improved, though. (1) This was a working vacation for me, and the internet signal was intermittent. I called the office and the office got in touch with the service provider who contacted me. The tech was very responsive, and ended up coming out to 206 and temporarily installed a signal booster, which helped improve the signal somewhat. The on-site maintenance person was very cordial and helpful! (2) The kitchen utensils, pot, pans, etc. are old and need upgraded, and we found one sauce pan that had been put up with what looked like grits stuck to the bottom (we handwashed it).

Love Garden City Realty like family and the condo was wonderful! The property is well-maintained and had everything I needed during my stay. And, you can't beat an ocean view condo - even in April. The weather was warm, the beach was beautiful, and there were no crowds. I can't wait to come back.

Three bedrooms, each with their OWN bathroom, is an absolute treat at the beach. Two the bedrooms open up right to the patio (9 floors above the pool with a spectacular view of the beach) -- and the third, a set of twin beds in the back.

The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you could need, and having our own parking space was a much needed necessity.

Only drawbacks were that the space it a little cluttered -- there are lots (and lots) of decorations on every surface. Made it hard to just find some space to put a laptop or a suitcase.

Same with the balcony/deck (which is where you will spend a lot of your time since it is beautiful) -- but there are a dozen chairs and tables making it hard to move about.

The location though makes up for all the clutter, just steps to the beach, and less then a 15 minute walk to the pier (with an arcade, ice cream shop, souvenir shop, etc)

Would 100% stay again, and recommend to others as well.

Monroe

We enjoyed our stay at Beach Therapy. There was plenty of room and we were pleased with the cleanliness. The only negative was that Garden City would not pro rate the rental of a golf cart for 5 nights. That was disappointing.

Camden

Very nice home! Was just as described! Didn't want to leave!
