We loved Rucker Cottage! Quiet little corner of the street. Clean upon arrival and had no real issues during our stay. Pool night light was out but fixed within a couple of hours after we called the next day. It was perfect for our group of 12. Comfortable beds and plenty of space when everyone was moving about the house at one time. Took about 30 seconds to walk to the beach access. The inlet view from the big screen porch was beautiful every morning/evening and a favorite hang out for everyone. Pool was a big plus with the teenagers this year. Separate outside entrance to the downstairs bedrooms was really nice. I would recommend adding a baby gate for the staircase in case renters have little ones. The dishwasher and refrigerator could use an update and the pots and pans are quite worn, BUT clean and usable for what we needed. We will definitely consider this property in the future! After years of rentals with GC, this has been our favorite!

Beautiful and well kept condo. We enjoyed two “recliners” just like home!!! A very quiet area and the condo was so comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed the electric fireplace in the living area and the fully stocked kitchen. The large walk in shower was simply wonderful!!!

We loved the condo it was very clean and had everything the only downfall is the location to the high rises and public beach access right beside it was hard to park and not much room on the beach because of all the chairs and umbrella put out by the city.

Overall good--would be nice to have some kitchen garbage bags available (there was only one) also, for the price of the cottage, it seems coffee would be provided.

This Surfside Beach vacation was our fourth year in a row in this home. We keep coming back because we love the Surfside/Garden City area, and the location and amenities of this home have exceeded our expectations year after year. The Portofino community offers great parking, easy access to the ocean, convenience of a private beach access with shower, bench, and trashcan for easy clean-up from the beach, and a pool nestled within the 10 houses that is an extra bonus for kids. We always make time for our favorite shopping, dining, and activities Myrtle Beach offers, but this year we squeezed in a few new stops that are definitely worth mentioning. We toured nearby Coastal Carolina University with our rising Senior and even followed the baseball team on television as they competed for a spot in the College World Series. We also visited the Surfside Beach Farmer’s Market (held every Tuesday near the library), and four new restaurants that we’ll definitely revisit: Bovine’s in Murrell’s Inlet, Hamburger Joe’s in Surfside, Rioz Brazilian steakhouse, and the Conch Cafe, which offers oceanfront dining. The layout of the home is ideal for family or friends vacationing together, as each of the four bedrooms has its own full bathroom. We love the ease of parking in this particular unit because you can always overflow into the beach access parking or visitor parking if you had guests over to enjoy the beach. We even moved cars around in the evening to grill, play Cornhole under the house, and make homemade ice cream. Hopefully future guests will find as much to love about this vacation home as we have.

Thank you Garden City Realty and thank you owners of the property we rented! We had a wonderful stay at our property! We were VERY satisfied with our stay. The condition of the property was was first class...you could see how well the owners maintained their property along with GCR. The kitchen was well-appointed, the furniture, beds, and all around surroundings were so nice. The appliances were top notch! The pool was fantastic...all the kids wanted to do was go from beach to pool and REPEAT! All our little 5 year old wanted was the pool and pancakes!!! We had 6 grandchildren there plus their parents and ourselves....we can't say enough about how impressed we were with the cleanness, the property's condition and our overall experience of l living there for a week! If we did need anything GCR was on it in a professional, courteous manner. Thank you for a memorable vacation! We so appreciate such a great rental property being available to us and letting us experience such a wonderful vacation!!!

This was our first stay in Garden City (first week of August). We've stayed many places up and down the coast. The room was great, just as advertised! A few minor repairs were needed but were quickly taken care of. It was very clean, kitchen was well stocked, and the balcony was fantastic! Our only complaint was that the beach was quite crowded and you are not allowed to put your umbrella up in front of their line of rental umbrellas and chairs, county ordinance apparently, and the lifeguards at this location enforce it even though you can see others do not. Two of the lifeguards were also somewhat rude when I spoke to them about this. Overall, however, we loved our stay there.

My stay at this Condo was great. Very clean, comfortable and in a good location. The parking is the only negative. Each condo does not have a specific parking spot. It is first come and you might not find a spot when you come in at night.
