We had a great vacation, our only problem was getting kicked out of the pool by property management. I was in the pool with my 5 yr old niece drinking a bottle of water and was kicked out because other people were drinking. Nobody was causing a problem and the manager was very rude. My niece was very upset. Situation handled poorly by manager

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend getaway at Sandy Shores. The unit that we had was tastefully decorated and felt so homey. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and we had an ocean view from our balcony. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer.

June was great!

June really went above and beyond my expectations. She succeeded on getting me the house I wanted. I would recommend her to everyone.

I CONSIDER THIS UNIT AS ONE OF THE FINEST YOU COULD FIND. A FEW TROUBLES BUT THEY WERE HANDLED VERY PROFRESSILY. WE WILL BE BACK

We loved the condo. It had the perfect view from both balconies. We loved laying in our bed watching the waves coming in. We hope to definitely stay there again.

Overall, this unit was very clean and comfortable. In its current condition, I would definitely stay here again.

However, if I had to give this unit a grade I would give it a B- based on the condition of some of its furnishings (blinds, TVs, furniture) as well as the overall condition of the unit.

The blinds are missing several slats that affect your privacy while in this unit as it is on the second floor right above the pool. The master bedroom is missing a single slat that is positioned perfectly to let the 6:45 AM sun blast you in the face.

While the master bedroom has a nice (wall-mounted) flat screen TV, the living room and guest bedroom both have TVs from the last century (literally.) Simply fixing the blinds and upgrading the TVs would immediately improve this unit to a solid B or B+.

The furniture is older, but very comfortable.

The guest bathroom has been upgraded and looks great. The master bathroom is in need of the same. The shower/tub is HUGE and very nice, but the cabinets are old and need replaced. The kitchen is functional, but is also in need of a renovation.

The photos on the Web site are pretty accurate as to what this unit looks like (which I appreciate!!)

However, with all of that said, the positives far outweighed the negatives and I would absolutely rent this unit again. I was very pleased with how clean it was at check-in. It had plenty of room for our family of four and all of our stuff. It is convenient to the elevators and parking deck which made loading and unloading our luggage very easy. The view is spectacular! We truly enjoyed our stay during this week.

As for Garden City Realty, I can't say enough good things about them. I had some scheduling issues after my initial booking and they were very accommodating in getting me into a nice unit on a week that worked out very well. I will definitely stay at GCR properties my next time in Garden City.

This is a great house for families. I picked this house based on the amenities and location. It would have been nice to be advised of the changes from when the deposit was paid. I specifically picked this house based on location, having a pool, the pool table and having a grill. The pool table from the pictures was gone and there was no type of grill. I had to buy a charcoal grill as I love to cook on the grill.
I would recommend this house because it was clean and has a great location. I loved the back porch and the rocking chairs.

Although we had to compete between sun and rain we had a wonderful vacation. We really enjoyed the porches up and down. We felt a step is needed off the porch to the beach.The house was clean and comfortable. Had a great vacation.
