Emporia

Stay was nice. Location several blocks from beach however we knew this and had no issues with the location. Rented a golf cart from S2 golf carts. House was clean upon arrival. Pool and in ground tub were great. Lounge area outside was nice however fans didn’t work. The only issue I had were the beds. They were all pretty firm. I dealt with it, however they could be nicer. it seems to be a common theme in rentals. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and have all ready booked for our return.

We have stayed at Compass Rose several times. We love the location and the fact that it is such a small complex. The only complaint we have is the twin beds desperately need new mattresses. The other beds were comfortable. We will be returning next year.

Third time staying at this condo building. First time in Unit 413,. It was a perfect place to stay with friends, had everything we needed and the bonus of beach stuff in the closet made the stay that much better. Staff very helpful, we had a power outage due to storm but response by maintenance was perfect

We had a great time. The place was in a perfect spot. Steps from the beach. The only issue we had was that none of the TVs would work and one would not even come on. But we only wanted to watch TV at night so no big issue. Great amenities. Plenty of things to do in a central location. Thank you for the stay.

We have stayed in this unit several times - Love the view- and the easy access from the room to the beach. No shoes necessary!! All the amenities you need. My only suggestion would be to upgrade to a more comfortable mattress.

Our rental experience was great! Garden City Realty was wonderful to work with. One if the agent, Pam, was extremely helpful when I had a couple of questions. She called me back prompl5with answers to my questions. We will definitely book this house again!

Afterdeck 205 is the best. We have rented this condo before and it is beautiful. The view and deck are outstanding. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Check in was contactless which was great. We enjoyed the beach and pool until we got our text that the condo was ready and could go right up! Such a nice convenience. We were sad to leave our beautiful condo. Always great to rent from Garden City Realty!

Very nice 3 bedroom condo with all of the necessary amenities in Garden city. I love the keypad lock for easy entry. It was nice having tile in the entire condo. It needed a few small maintenance improvements such as light switches not working and a bathroom drawer front being totally detached. Also the master bedroom mattress is thin and not very comfortable.

We had a great time.
Positive: The owners provided plenty of dishes, a bookshelf of books, games, and even some kids beach toys. Nice touches! The carpet was in good shape in the hallway and bedrooms. The balcony was one of the only ones that jutted out enough to see the ocean which was very nice. The condo stayed quiet to road noise. We thought the beds were comfortable (twins and King). The pull out couch is the nicest I've seen. My youngest slept there and said it was comfortable. Kitchen was a nice size and extra seating at the bar was needed and appreciated with a family of 5. The bathrooms were a great size (the back shower was very small) but the actual space to move around in the bathroom was good. There is a beach access lot one condo away. It had about 7 parking spots.
The negatives: Very low lighting because there are no overhead light fixtures, no overhead fans, the main bedroom does not have very good air flow so it was warmer than the rest of the condo (even after adjusting vents), there are no bathroom fans, there ARE heat lights in the bathroom which when accidentally turned on heat up the whole condo (so watch that), the beach at high tide here is quite shallow. So at low tide there's room for lots of people - but at high tide it's pretty crowded. No tents allowed in this county on the beach (that included the "cabana" type and the Shibumi (although that may change) This is summer 2023. The hall air return (I guess) tended to be noisy. It didn't bother us really bc it didn't stay on for long periods of time...but at night in bed I would hear it. There is no bathroom downstairs near the pool/beach area. You cannot park a vehicle with a top cargo carrier under the overhang parking - we always had a spot in the general parking area - but we went after school started back.

Property was a perfect location. Condo was beautifully updated and comfortable. Furnishings were as noted in pictures. Check-in was no contact and super easy and so convenient. The only thing that that needs updated are the older dirty bedroom carpets. I did wipe a spill up off the tile kitchen floor and the paper towel was black. It did smell really clean when we walked in. Overall great property and plan to stay here again!!!!
