Pamplico

We love Channel of Blessings! It's a great house with an amazing view! All of the amenities are great! Staying in the gated community eases your mind of any trouble that could happen. We felt very safe and secure. One suggestion is the beds could use some new pillows!

We loved staying in this property. The house was very nice, the few very (and very minor) issues we had were addressed immediately and the location was great.

High Point

We all had a wonderful time! Well-appointed kitchen. We had all we needed. Plenty of seating for us all.
The pool was incredible -large and very well maintained
So grateful for the many poolside and porch furnishings.
Beds comfortable. Linens clean and sufficient for our needs.
Wonderful view out the back porch.

Some of the issues we had:
Extra room downstairs very musty smelling
Some difficulty in sliding the doors of tubs
Another HDMI cable needed for living room DVD player to work. We had to switch it back and forth.
Tray of DVD player in the MBR won't open so can't use it
Toaster needs to be replaced before it catches on fire. Bread debris in bottom cannot be cleaned out and starts to burn when toasting. Poor design of toaster only allows a smidge of crumbs to fall into the trays that can be emptied. The rest has piled up and hardened. I tried to clean it out but without success.
Very clean generally but should move furniture to clean behind from time to time. Also need to clean under the beds. Dropped items behind/under and when retrieved were covered in dust.
Disappointed to learn mattress pads are not laundered between stays. Dust mites, sweat and dead skin cells in the mattress pads are a big deal. Especially with monkey pox floating around. Including this service would be a boon for Garden Realty.
Laundry room needs a good cleaning.
Washing machine broke on Thursday. Maintenance unable to repair. Repairman came out Thursday evening but stated a part was needed and would have to communicate with the realty company about it. No further updates received on Friday. Very inconvenient.

In general it was a really nice vacation and we all had a fun time and are so glad we came!

This property was clean, had a terrific location and had a well stocked kitchen. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! The property management company was also excellent. I loved the fact they emailed me a pre-check out reminder instructing us how to leave the property.

Beautiful unit and decor is absolutely comfy and relaxing. Will definitely be booking this unit again and it’s on 1st floor so not to far to go with groceries.

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful condo for two weeks( Oct 24-Nov 7th 2020).
This was a much needed getaway and the location was perfect. Our weather was good and we enjoyed walks on the beach, a day at Huntington Beach Park....the tour of the Atalaya Castle was very interesting.... and strolling the Marsh Walk. Our outings were limited as my husband will have back surgery on Nov 25th and we were taking it easy.
We highly recommend SurfMaster By The Sea and PAM at Garden City Realty. She was lovely to work with on our reservations and after a few phone calls, you feel you have known her forever.
