Owner Testimonials

Coastal Time, Owner

Satisfied homeowner

I'm very satisfied to work with Tim. It was a bit outside of his IT area, but we were able to debug the internet problem at the house working over the phone. That saves me 6 hours of driving.

I have the utmost confidence

I have had a relationship with Garden City Realty owner services for the past six rental seasons. I am more than pleased with the service they have provided. Being a very hands-on owner, I usually have contact with owners services at least once a week. As a long-distance owner, I have the utmost confidence when I have a situation that needs attention, all I have to do is make one phone call, and any issue is resolved in a timely manner. There are many choices in management companies along the grand strand and you would have a hard time finding one better than Garden City Realty owner services.

I highly recommend GCR for your rental needs, whether you are a guest or owner.

As an owner of 551 South Waccamaw Dr., “Summer Breeze,” I can say that Garden City Realty is first class. The two Ashley‘s are very helpful, and very nice which with to work. The maintenance and housekeeping team are also very good and very prompt when in need. I have other rental properties in North Myrtle Beach, and I can say that the agencies handling them are not as professional, nor are they as prompt in handling your problems as Garden City Realty.

Pleasantly Surprised

We have been pleasantly surprised with the change in programs. We appreciate the professionalism, support, and effort that Garden City Realty provides. 2021 is the only year we can compare apples to apples, as 2020 was not a full rental year for us. We have seen a 117% rental income growth from 2021 to 2022. Keep up the great work.

Surf Master Penthouse D, Owners

Deep cleaning of unit

We had Garden City Realty do a deep cleaning on our condo, Penthouse D, at Surf Master this month. Shannon did an excellent job on our unit. We could smell the clean when walked through the condo. Thank you again for a great job.

Kiss My Grits, Owners

Their entire staff has operated with the highest integrity

Our family has rented our beach house through Garden City Realty for over 25 years. During this time their entire staff has operated with the highest integrity. Their support services (cleaning and property maintenance) have always performed in an excellent manner. Their property owners group has always been very professional, responsive, and thorough in their market analyses in preparation for adjustments of future rental rates. As a result, we have averaged about a 90% occupancy every year. Finally, the head of Garden City Realty has always provided wise and sound counsel to our family over the years as the management of our beach house has moved from one generation to the next. In summary, I highly recommend Garden City Realty and consider them to be the premier organization in Horry and Georgetown counties.

Garden City Realty was successful in having tenants lined up

Frances and I built our beach house in Garden City Beach in 1976. While the house was under construction, we engaged Garden City Realty to list the house for rent that summer. Garden City Realty was successful in having tenants lined up as soon as the house was completed. The house was completed on the day our youngest daughter was born. At that time we had a family of three young children. Since that time we continued with successful summer rentals. Not only did Garden City Rental bring us a good component of rental clients, it provided us with good services for repairs and maintenance over the years. Now our family has grown to three married children who have blessed us with nine grandchildren.

Casual on the Beach, Owner

Effortless Venture

Prior to closing on our home, Ashley and the Garden City Realty team had already exceeded our expectations. Their team has made every aspect of renting our home an effortless venture. They have helped us every step of the way and bend over backward to see that we’re happy. Not only are they extremely helpful but they managed to rent my home at amazing rates for the entire summer in under a week’s time!  My family and I are able to have peace of mind knowing that Ashley is overseeing our beach home in all regards.

The GCR team goes out of their way...

I can’t say enough positive things about the team at Garden City Realty. After having my house off the rental market for a few years, I had lost my base of loyal renters and was concerned that it would take some time to get decent income again, especially with a new management company. Add that I was late in my decision to list, missing a large part of the traditional marketing season, and doing it all in the midst of a pandemic…

 Ashley and the team took all of my worries away, assisting with needed property repairs, establishing new annual service contracts, and arranging for an expert photoshoot. I knew I had made the right decision when my first bookings were confirmed within the first two weeks of listing. In the end, every week I made available for booking was rented, and all at published rates. The GCR maintenance team ensured a stress-free experience, helping me prepare the house for the season, responding to any renter need, and ensuring that I returned to a property that looked exactly as I had left it. The GCR team goes out of their way to assist in anything requested – from service calls to package receipt and delivery. And they do it all with a smile. Couldn’t have survived the 2020 season without them.

Exceptional Service

I can honestly say, my experience with Garden City Realty has been nothing short of exceptional. Ashley and the Owner Services team, maintenance, and housekeeping have done an outstanding job managing and maintaining my oceanfront beach house. As a first-time beach property owner, I have been very pleased with the bookings, revenue, and maintenance performed on the house. Even with the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, the team came up with a great plan and pulled through with an impressive number of bookings. I couldn’t ask for a better team to protect my investment.

REALTOR Referral

I will not hesitate to refer you to more vacation rental clients

I want to say what a pleasure it has been to work with you. The owners of Cozy Corner are long-time clients of ours and it was always my primary concern that I refer them to "service-oriented" vendors so their expectations would be exceeded, not just simply met. 

Garden City Realty Vacation Rental Division and Ashley Dixon in particular have met and exceeded those expectations. I commend you for your thorough and professional service to them. Rest assured, I will not hesitate to refer you to more vacation rental clients in the future. And I hope that is soon. 

One Ocean Place 1102, Owner

Vicky is amazing and always responsive. I hesitated to rate the maintenance staff better than in 2018 because we have always been very satisfied, and “better” seems to say otherwise. Dan is great.

Horizon East 301 and Royal Gardens 715, Owners

Jessy, Heidi and Lauren are a great asset to GCR. Each has always been very helpful with any question I have.
