"Going Coastal" was a wonderful place, in a great location. Loved everything about it, and what great homeowners!

Our family has used Garden City Realty for several years in the past. This year, we adopted a rescue dog; she has become a huge part of our family. I searched for beach accommodations that allowed fur babies and came across Livin' the Coastal Life! So many other rental companies have either a strict no dogs allowed rule or ridiculously low weight limits.

We are delighted that Garden City Realty has so many options to choose from, and booking is always a breeze. We can't wait for our trip next month!

Moncks Corner

Very nice condo! Upon checkout, I told the agent that I wanted to rebook the condo for next year and asked if I could call them back later in the day to reserve. I was told that would be fine, no problem. Once I got home, I called to book for 2027 (around 12:30). I was told the unit was rented just a couple of hours prior to my return call. I was told it would be fine to call back, so I don’t understand why the agent did not place the unit on hold for 24 hours. I was offered a 24 hour hold when I had to look for another property with Garden City Reality (who I used to book unit 310 for 2026).
The only negative about the condo itself was the loud music and teenagers screaming at the pool most evenings of the week. It was so loud you could not enjoy your conversations and/or shows you may be watching. You want people to enjoy their time at the beach, but also be courteous of the other tenants. The noise and screaming was so loud one night, that we had to call security.

Stayed in Compass Rose 12 for a week. Unit was clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies. Had some problems with ceiling fan and light control - none of the ceiling fans were wired with separate wall switch controls for light and fan. I'm short and pull chain switches were a challenge. They were no controllers for the TVs or other devices in either the master bedroom, queen bedroom or twin bedroom - only in living room. Enjoyed the screened in porch immensely.

Loved it. We would like to have the unit December 1 through March 31 next year. Your people are very professional and the maintenance issues were handled by Dan immediately.

We were very happy with our unit at Royal Garden. It was beautifully decorated, not too 'beachy' inside. We really enjoyed our time in Garden City and were sad when it was time to leave.

Everyone thought the place was great. We plan on renting again next year.

Our condo was very nicely decorated. Everything was coordinated with a beach theme. It made our stay even that more enjoyable. We enjoyed eating breakfast every morning outside on the deck overlooking the ocean. We had a wonderful 2 weeks. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a beach get-away. The unit was clean and enjoyable.

We have been coming here for several years. All were great! We would have liked a three bedroom, but none were available. The people at Garden City Realty were the best. We are trying to negotiate a 3-bedroom for next year and hope it comes to fruition. This 2-bedroom has everything modern and up-to-date. We love it.

We had a great time and I would recommend Garden City Realty.

Simpsonville

No complaints! The house was clean and smelled refreshing. We had everything we needed for our stay. Garden City Realty acted quickly when ants decided they wanted to stay cool in the kitchen. They sent someone out and the problem was resolved immediately. Didn’t see any more ants during our stay.

Midlothian

We moved to this cottage second day of our stay. First cottage A/A was broken. This cottage was great! The pool was beautiful. It was hard to be by pool in late afternoon due to no shade. Needs umbrellas. Loved how well the kitchen was equipped, the gas grill and the ice machine! Porches were wonderful. It was a great stay.

Gastonia

This is our second year staying at Murray's Inlet Shack and we loved it. We have already reserved the house for next year and are counting the weeks! The only thing wrong was that I could only find one outdoor receptical for my ice cream maker.

We enjoyed being so close to the beach. It was nice to get away and relax. The house was great for our family.
