Late Summer Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such a beautiful home in a great location. One of the best things about this home was the pellet ice maker. It made beach days a breeze when filling up our coolers.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gamblers Retreat is a great beach home that has just about everything you need to enjoy your home away from home. Too bad it wasn’t clean though. Most of the beds need new mattresses, the grill outside needs to be replaced. It’s all rusted and went on fire. The sheets on the beds were dingy.We made due with what it was and did a lot of cleaning. The location is great.

Great week in Garden City with some Issues to Start

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gambler's Retreat is a wonderful property with lots of positives primarily location and amenities. The home is thoughtfully decorated for the comfort of families and guests. However, there were some negatives as well. Upon arrival, we immediately noticed that the pool was not clean with significant amounts of algae. We promptly contacted the rental company on Saturday and requested that the pool be cleaned. This happened on Tuesday. The house also had some issues with cleanliness. Overall, the kitchen and bathrooms were clean and although the floor had been swept it did not appear to have been scrubbed or mopped. Could not walk around barefoot without turning our feet dark. The rental company was very responsive to our concerns and sent housekeeping back to the house as well as contacted the pool company for a cleaning. Other suggestions to consider would be to replace the mattresses, they are not comfortable, add a handrail to the pool to assist with getting out particularly for elderly people, replace dining room chairs or recover and be careful going down the stairs inside.First time visit to Garden City Beach and we really enjoyed the area. Will not consider this property again even though our issues were addressed. If we had not brought it to the attention of the rental company, the pool probably would not have been cleaned until the end of the season. Yuck!I appreciate Garden City Realty for being pleasant to work with in addressing our concerns. Nice group of people!Hopefully this feedback will enhance the stay for other families.

July 4th Week Vacation 2025

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gambler's Retreat is ideal for our family with a spacious living area, connected to a covered screened-in deck on one end and a sunroom on the other. Pool area is fantastic for children under 5 years old. Across the street beach is wide and spacious due to the limited homes of this penisula south of Garden City pier,

Nice place, great location, awesome pool!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at this house. The location to the beach was perfect and a quick 1 minute walk. We could listen to the waves from our screened in porch in the evenings. The kids loved the pool which was the biggest we have seen in the area. The roads were much quieter that what we experienced in Surfside.

Gambler’s Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, this is a great place to stay. We love the screened in porch, the swing, the pool, and the great ice maker! This year, however, the dishwasher was broken and didn’t get fixed, the pool turned green and no one came to check it, and we had to change out the air filter downstairs and clean the wall in the bathroom. The bedspread in the master bedroom was stained and the knobs on the bed’s footboard kept falling off. The ceiling fans have lint on the blades. This is a great house, but it needs some care.

Saved us after original cottage A/C broken

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

It was hard to be by pool in late afternoon due to no shade. Needs umbrellas. Loved how well the kitchen was equipped, the gas grill and the ice machine! Porches were wonderful. It was a great stay.

Moore and Smith 2022 Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental experience started out badly. The A/C for the upstairs of the house was not working and had to be repaired. When checking in, there was a notice attached to our package that the stove was not working. This was a major inconvenience to us due to our grandkids having severe allergies which we combat by bringing foods to cook that they can eat. When we inquired about the repairs, we were told that it would be Thursday before the repairs could be performed, which I told them that was totally unacceptable. I was direct with them and told them what was expected if they could not repair the stove on Monday. The stove was repaired that day and it was surprising to find that the gas line to the stove was never hooked up and was laying on the floor under the stove. Otherwise, the remainder of the week was delightful.

Enjoyed our vacation in Garden City

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 12, enjoyed our vacation in Garden City. For years now, we have rented house n Ocean Lakes, but decided to try something different. I can say we are probably done with staying at Ocean Lakes, we all really liked the laid back, relaxed feel of Garden City Beaches. Best trip we have had in years. I am the un-official "trip-organizer". I always have to book the accommodations, etc. I was very satisfied with my experience with Garden City Reality, they were professional, and easy to work with. I would recommend them and I would definitely use them again.

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!

Summer Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my 3rd year renting the same house. Love the location,the house and pool is great. It seemed to me that house is not as well kept as 1st year we stayed. Had issue with toilet leaking from top floor to bottom floor. This was quickly resolved by realty company. Clothes dryer would not cut off and this was not fixed during our stay. Something should be done about tree/bush in edge of yard on north side. Very dangerous when trying to back car out. Cannot see if car was coming or if someone was on sidewalk on bike or walking. I usually put deposit down for this house for same dates next year but did not this year. Think rental amount on house has gotten too high. Will have to think about it and explore other rental properties and compare prices for comparable house.

It was close to everything, but quiet and relaxing.

Response from repairman was excellent.Cleaning needs to include fan blades, as all of them are layered with dust.House layout fits our family well, we have stayed here multiple years.
