Great Experience!

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: This house was perfect for our family. The location was very close to the pier and Garden City restaurants and there was ample space in bedrooms and bathrooms for us. There was a lot of noise from the pier, but that did not bother us.

Ideal Location for Weekend with Family

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: We rented a five bedroom beach house for extended out-of-state family coming in for my mother's memorial service. We grew up in the Grand Strand, spending countless hours on the beach by Garden City pier. This house is less than a block from the pier and right on the ocean. It was a wonderful location, ideal for the 4 families who shared the house for the weekend. While the living/kitchen area is small compared to other beach areas, the location could not be beat.

Good but could be Great

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: We had a overall good experience with this property. The location was amazing but very close to the pier so just be aware of loud music playing until late in the evening. We had two big issues with the rental that could be easily fixed.1. A couple of the mattresses were TERRIBLE! One had a dip that was so big in the middle a person on the edge would literally roll into that middle dip. 2. The internet was really bad. It was super slow and even unusable at times.

Against the wind A - 2023

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: Liked the location and walkability to pier. Our request for bug spray was handled; the dishwasher was fixed quickly. Two kitchen chairs have missing support rungs so chair wobbly. Without any blinds on sliding door, could not use any of couches for about 2 hours after sunrise. Cupboards need to be cleared out of so many extras so we can put our food away (eg: there were 4 coffee makers and only one worked). Toilet in main ran every 5 mins or so. Bathroom towel bars in some rooms were broken off. Would recommend renting to someone if above concerns addressed

Against the Wind A

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Overall we had a great time and would stay there again. Location is very close to the pier good if you want to fish, downside of that is often loud music and karaoke (not always good) until 11pm most nights. Several decent places to eat within walking distance. There is a public beach access next to the property so you get to do some people watching ;) The unit needs some rethinking in the kitchen, there were a few pots and pans, but probably 25 lids that didn't go to anything, multiple strainers, no good resealable containers for leftovers, utensils were adequate. Fortunately for us we always bring a big frying pan, stock pot. utensils and resealable containers or ziplocs so we adapted. Multiple steep stairs into and within the unit but this is common for an ocean front beach house. If you have physical issues it will be a challenge for you. As I said at the start we would stay there again.

Great, with minor issues

The property itself is in a FANTASTIC location! It is right next to the little downtown area of Garden City, and the Pier (which is our favorite), but best of all we could walk off the deck and be at the beach!! It was so amazing to have short walks, especially with a 3 and 1 year old in tow. When we arrived an hour early, we were able to get into the house. There were some minor things not as clean as they should have been (bathrooms), and some portions of the property were not in top notch performing shape (dishwasher, sink/tub drains, rocking chairs). After reaching out to the property manager about multiple rocking chairs being broken, we were told someone would be by to address the issue, and that never happened. That was very disappointing. Which led me not to report the other issues we were having because I knew they would not be addressed. The limited supplies (both disposable and linens) provided, and having to make all the beds seemed a little ridiculous to me considering how much you pay for the property, and for the low quality of the products and linens (it can't be that much more to provide more than 1 trash bag). We will definitely be coming back to Garden City and staying beach side, but after our experience I do not think it will be at this property.

Great house in the perfect location

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: This was our second time staying in Against The Wind A, and I absolutely love this house. In fact, we had a conversation about if we win the lottery, we are buying this house. Haha! It's got lots of room, a great open kitchen and a gorgeous view being right on the sand. There was a place for everyone to hang out comfortably and being right next to the pier, we had live music every night. It made for a great vacation!

Family Beach Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great! easy access to town and you can enjoy the live music from the pier without leaving the deck. The house has a great set up for bedrooms not so great for the living space.There is an extremely large table that takes up most of the living room/dining room so the couches are laid in a vertical pattern as opposed to an L for easy conversation. They are also VERY OLD and in desperate need of replacement. The kitchen has enough plates to fed an army but no where near enough pans to cook for that many. There are a ton of pots. Recommend cleaning out the entire kitchen and getting a basic set of pots and pans that are more functional. The staff was fantastic and very responsive. In terms of cleanliness there are real hardwood floors through the property that just trap sand. We bought a broom and dust pan to try to keep up but its a losing battle. I think a little updating would go a long way with this property.

Things are getting Worn Out

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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, the experience was great as always, we can never complain about the location and roominess of this house. We've stayed here three times in the last 6 years and we can see the wear and tear on this residence. The owners need to put a few dollars into it to improve the customer’s experience. A side did not have an outside shower or hose hookup. Vegetation is overgrown preventing the use of the B sides shower. Floors need refinishing. Deck and rails need cleaning (pictures depicted in ad are very old). Suggest bringing the shower and hose hookup onto the rear deck to reduce the amount of sand getting into the house. Reduce the overabundance of kitchenware that has accumulated. I can get more detailed, but you get the picture.

I would recommend new conforters and mattress pad covers. The house could use a detailed cleaning and paint touch ups but overall was a very nice place to stay.
