We had a wonderful stay at this place in Garden City. Everything was very comfortable and the house is beautifully positioned near the pool and beach. I also have to say that this place is incredibly well decorated. So well, in fact, that we had to have extra clear talks with our kids about what are and are not toys.
From when we arrived, it was so great to walk into such a clean, well kept up place after a long drive. The furniture is very comfortable (though the sofa bed has a very thin mattress) and let our family of 5 feel right at home.
Riding the cart around the community works out well and the kids really liked exploring and going to different places in that thing. It seems like everyone in the neighborhood has one, so its clearly needed.
Being right next to the water is also nice. There are regularly geese that honk by (as they cross the street) and its pretty relaxing watching them hang out by the water from the sunroom.
I also want to say that the owners of the place were very easy to get ahold of and very helpful when we needed it.
I would normally like to have rated the place 4 and a half stars, but could not. One reason for that is that, as a big guy, the showers are small (one is like the size of a cruise ship shower and the other is very, very slippery with little to hold on to). My kids liked sliding around, but I almost fell down a couple of times.
The other reason was that Garden City and the community itself are kind of blah. There is not much of a reason to be in either place (the community was a bit crowded but not in a friendly way) and Garden City seems like just a place next to Myrtle.
That being said, I reiterate that we had an amazing time at the house and I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay near the beach.
