Very nice and comfortable place. Only problem was with one of the remotes and the beds seem to be needing new mattresses.

The condo was beautifully decorated and had plenty of amenities. Unfortunately, the ice maker didn't work. We called for service but they needed approval from the owner and they never got it. So we had to buy ice and tote it all the way to the top! Inconvenient but didn't ruin the trip. There was no way to transport our luggage or purchases other than to carry them. Again, inconvenient but doable. It was a nice trip but would have been better if we didn't have to work so hard!

Our experience with the condo was wonderful! We had minor issues with telephone, a missing kettle and a microwave that decided to stop working and the Garden City Realty customer service was excellent. They dealt with all of these issues with no inconvenience to us and to 100% of our satisfaction. I would suggest that the owner invest in minor repairs and changes to make the condo even more appealing. Paint the ceiling in the master bedroom bathroom (water stains on ceiling), change the floor under the washer, buy new cutlery and pots and pans. But in spite of that, the condo was spacious, bright, clean with an AWESOME view of the ocean. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone and would definitely rent it again.

Nice rental for the most part. Pretty clean and amazing views. We stayed in late September so being on the 1st floor was fine but it would be too noisy to stay that low in the busy summer time. The patio door needs replaced. It will barely slide. A small child or an elderly person would have significant trouble with it. Will definitely stay in this building again but on a higher floor next time.

I've stayed at the Compass Rose since Hugo hit and our old school beach house was swallowed by the Atlantic. I was a young boy then. Today I'm 40 and now I bring my family and three kids to the same place that I grew up vacationing in. My entire family would rent 4 or 5 of the 8 units.I've stayed in almost all of them but we keep returning to #22. We absolutely love it. Perfect views from 2nd floor, not to many steps, wonderfully decorated for the beach and just an all around feel that you belong there. It makes me smile knowing that this place is there waiting for us all winter long and the moment we do return it feels as though we never left.

This home was perfect for our needs. The 7 full baths gave lots of privacy and never having to wait for a bathroom even with 21 people in the house. The view from the front decks was beautiful and we spent lots of time there. The kitchen and dining area worked out great for our large group too. Very short walk to the beach was a plus. The kids loved having our own private pool. My only real complaint is the house was not the cleanest when we checked in. But there were cleaning supplies, a vacuum, broom, and mop so we cleaned the floors daily our selves while we were there. We would definitely stay here again! It met our needs perfectly!

Condo had everything we needed but would prefer a king size bed. We’re thin people but the bed seemed smaller than a queen size.

Fantastic. Great house. Great time. The first two days were stormy but that makes for good sleeping with a window opened slightly to hear the rain and crashing of waves. After that the water was calm and the breezes were fair. The house was well-stocked with anything a family needs for a week. And I'm not just talking about the kitchen. There are games, books, and flat-screen TV's throughout. There are even beach toys and chairs stored in the large laundry room. We suspect that some families bought these during their trips and simply left them due to lack of room to haul home. And the big plus is the roominess of the house which affords people enough space to avoid constantly bumping into each other which is essential to maintain sanity for a weeks stay. Let's face it, everybody needs a little space, and this house gives you that.

We have been going to the beach as a family for over 50 years. First time we stayed in Garden City always stayed at Cherry Grove. Loved this house, loved the location. Kids loved the location. They could walk to pier or Sam's. House had lots of space for family time. A few of the mattress's need replaced everything else about the house was great. Can't wait till next year!

Glad tidings is a perfect venue to have your family reunion. We enjoyed the ocean, channel, and pool immensely. Also, we rented a pontoon boat and were able to dock it at the private dock. We highly recommend this property and this real estate company and Mary Black in particular. She was very helpful through the entire process. It's a good sign when 14 people do not want to go home.

We had a very smooth rental process as well as a "no complaints" stay. Garden City Realty does a great job managing.

Eleven family members enjoyed a beautiful Easter week at the Metzler's. It is located perfectly, in that you can walk to the pier but you're far enough away to not have noise or traffic. The pool and hot tub are great features and were enjoyed by every age. This was our third stay there and we are amazed at how well stocked the kitchen is. For the first time ever we did go out to buy a lemon squeezer and extra closet hangers. It was really nice (and unusual) to have herbs and spices there although we brought many of our own. Aside from the size, age and condition of the Master shower, this is a total thumbs-up vacation home.

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!

We had a great week here! The location was perfect. We really enjoyed the pool; it is a great size with lots of chairs and tables. The shelf was a perfect spot for our youngest to sit and play. My kids loved all of the wildlife in and around the pond, geese, ducks, herons, turtles and fish that jumped constantly! The grill and tables were great to use for lunch and jumping back in pool. Beach access was 2 min away and the playground we visit when we come was less than 10. The kitchen is very well stocked. I was so glad to see plastic kid bowls and plates. There was plenty of cookware. We sat on the deck upstairs and relaxed in the early morning and evening. There is a gate to close off the stairs so that was helpful with young kids. The house is nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable.
The only negatives (that will not deter me from renting again honestly) are that the washing machine and AC are incredibly loud. There was no doing laundry at night, I tried to make sure we would be mostly outside when it was on. When the AC came on, it felt great but conversation or TV volume definitely had to go up to compensate. The house is older so the doors do stick and can be hard to close.
We had an issue our last night and had to call maintenance out to help. When were finally able to get through, a person came quickly and was friendly and efficient in correcting our problem. It was an after hours call, so the we had to use the emergency number who basically just tried to take a message for when the office opened. We were finally able to get them to understand that 1) this is the emergency line, we would not call if it was not needed right away. 2) It was our last night and we needed to leave before the office opened. It's an emergency line, do not tell people to wait until the next day.

That didn't really affect our stay, just frustrating in the moment. We would stay here again for sure!!
