We do a family vacation every year, and this was our first stay at The Sanctuary. We have a family of 16, plus 4 children. It is a beautiful home, and it was clean when we arrived; however, neither of our dryers worked, and only one dryer was fixed around the middle of the week. A few cabinet doors fell off, the ice maker in the fridge was not working, and the ice maker in the wet bar was dirty and not functioning. Even with the mishaps we had a wonderful time and hope to stay here again next year.

The spread on the master right on the 3rd floor needs to be replaced....very lumpy and unattractive. We took it off and replaced it with a blanket for sleeping. Otherwise it was a fabulous house for our family group of 15, ages 8 to 80! All enjoyed both the ocean and pool as well as the many game and entertainment options.

Great Stay!

Despite arriving a day after the hurricane, we still had a good time. It is our third year in the house and we will return again next year. It works for us but there are alot of little things that should be addressed. Loose faucets, toilet paper holders hanging loose, toilets hard to flush, light fixtures hanging loose.

This extremely accommodating home suited everyone of our needs. We have been vacationing in Garden City since 1995 and this by far is the best home we have rented. It has exceeded our expectations and we shall return next year. The office employee's were exceptional with kindness, consideration, and helpful with all concerns. The ocean views from the picture window was a sight to behold and the large swimming pool was like a breathe of fresh air. I can't forget the Theater room where we took in one movie while enjoying popcorn and soda!!! Thank Goodness for the elevator that accommodated my 81 year old Dad who can't climb steps the way he used to. Easy access to the beach made life easier. BUT, the breathe taking views from the home and the deck, why there is NOTHING to compare that to !!! I've only been home 4 days, yet still, the glistening waters, sunrises,sundowns, rising of the moon, sound of the waves, happy laughter, family games,each day full of sun,and God remaining in the midst will forever be in my heart. Unforgettable !

We had some issues when we arrived at the house. The garbage disposal was leaking and did not get fixed until Wednesday. The two beds in the first floor bedroom were not usable all week. The air conditioning went out on the 2nd floor. But other than that, the house was great and fit all of our needs. It is in a great location. We got a lot of use out of the beautiful pool, which is where we spent most of our days.

Great beds and plenty of towels. Bathroom soap and shampoo along with a few dishwasher pucks would be a nice.

We had 8 couples staying at the house and with the size of the house would not have known 16 people were there. Everything about the house was great including the large TV (great to watch the football games on),the rooms, the large amount of outdoor seating, the pool, the various game tables and the great kitchen. Had a initial problem with the whirlpool and Beach Realty was great in correcting it quickly. Beach Reality also did a great job on the weather for us. The only negative to the whole trip was that there needs to be a bathroom at the pool level. Thanks for a great time and we have already booked again for next year.

Perfect House For 8 couples!!

We loved our week stay at this wonderful beach front house during the Pandemic! Hated to leave the beautiful ocean with it's gorgeous sunrises. Nothing better that waking up to a beautiful sight. We love cooking in the well equip kitchen and having dinner on the 2 large tables. Great house in the spring and fall with excellent prices. My only suggestion is to change the cable company so ALL TV's have boxes that work and a remote for each TV. All remotes must be counted for after each renter leaves!!!

It was our second year in the same house and we are booked for next year. Love the house and location but have given you a list of alot of little things that are being let go. The 2 major things are the clothes dryer on the 2nd floor and the whirlpool is starting to lose alot of tiles that dump into the swimming pool. The biggest complaint is that there is no bathroom at the pool level. A pain to get out, dry off and go upstairs. Don't get me wrong, we love the house, had a great time but hope they will take better care of the place. If you want to discuss any of this, I can be reached at. Thanks and have a great day

Aptly named, The Sanctuary is truly a peaceful place of respite and protection from the onslaught of daily stresses and worldly worries. Our group found it to be a home of grandeur and elegance, yet at the same time a place of comfort, restoration, and great fun. It is difficult to imagine a place more enticing for cheerful camaraderie. There was plenty of room for our large group to be together or to wander off and find a favored nook for personal quiet time. Big Kudos to the owners, designers, and decorators; you built a gorgeous home and filled it with more amenities than we had time to even explore or enjoy. The Beach Realty ladies who are in charge of the rentals couldn’t possibly be more professional, helpful, pleasant, or accommodating. All of our party is heartily impressed with BR. They do business “the right way.” They expressed genuine concern for all our needs & desires. We DO hope to return and absolutely recommend this classy home to anyone who treasures a top quality vacation experience. There are a couple of items that our group would like to have brought to the owner’s attention. *All bathrooms are begging for places to hang towels, etc. Hooks would be a tremendously helpful. *Upon arrival, ALL the cushions on the main deck furniture were soaking wet & were a bit yucky. Our visit was in the cooler, later days of Oct., so we were not hanging around in wet swimsuits. Granted, our visit was after some record setting rains in SC, but we wonder if these cushions couldn’t have been protected & kept dry before our arrival? Many of these cushions were FULL of water & never dried out during our stay. Even the furniture below the cushions was wet. Given that the outdoor furniture on the main deck is large, heavy, & cumbersome, albeit beautiful, we all found ourselves pining for rocking chairs that we could move around. Would you consider adding rocking chairs? The 3 on the upstairs balcony are simply divine and lovely!Full review sent to Beach Realty.

The Sanctuary provided a wonderful location for our thirty-third family beach vacation. Loved having plenty of bedrooms with private bathrooms. The three living areas gave ample room for the working generation to work, the youngest generation to play, and the oldest generation to snooze. The recliners in the movie room were so comfortable that several naps were taken there also. The bathroom on the movie room floor can also be reached from the hallway. That was a bonus for the teenagers that didn't want to disturb their parents. Looking forward to next year!!!

What a great vacation and place to stay. All 7 families enjoyed every aspect of the house! I couldn't have imagined a better week! The house and property are beautiful and may be the nicest place I have ever stayed. With 14 adults and 7 kids in the house, we all enjoyed it with more than enough space in the house and outside! We had a few minor issues when there, but the management company was very quick to fix things and they were very professional.

Great week, great house. We have been going to Garden City for years and staying in similar type homes and The Sanctuary was the best we have stayed in. Lots of space, great amenities, huge pool, etc etc.

Only two small improvements we could find if being picky. One, the outdoor shower does not drain well at all. It renders the shower almost useless.

Two, as the house is right along side the beach access, it would be nice to have more of a solid privacy fence or additional plantings along the existing fence so that everyone walking to the beach on the beach access walk can't just look in and have a clear view of everything going on in the pool.

Again, these are very minor issues as overall our large family was very pleased with the home.

I am the Owner of a Child Care Center in Columbia S.C. we have been in business for two years. Both years we have stayed in Garden City our first year was at Key Lime Pie and this year we stayed at the Sanctuary. Both homes were more than we expected my staff didn't want to come home. My only complaint with the Sanctuary was not enough pots and pans and the knives should have been shaper. The rooms, the view and the space was WONDERFUL. I left this home telling my family I needed and wanted to build a home with this same design in Columbia. Choosing the Sanctuary this year for our retreat was the Chose! I will highly recommend this home to everyone.

I read previous reviews before selecting this property and there were a few suggestions, I can honestly say every suggestion that was made, the owners listened and acted upon all of the suggestions.

Just a couple of weeks after the huge storm/hurricane Matthew hit the East coast and dealt a huge blow to Myrtle, Surfside, and Garden City Beach (and so many other East Coast areas), this magnificent home was set to rights and made ready for another magical visit for our beloved group of friends. The Sanctuary truly lives up to its name in every conceivable way. It is a gorgeous house that is incomparable in amenities, comfort, and spaciousness. It is perfectly located at GCB, away from traffic and crowds. It is a luxurious haven where relaxation and restoration are compulsory. We were most impressed that after such an incredibly devastating storm, this home was sparkling clean, and would have passed any ‘white-glove test.’ The pool, hot tub, movie theatre, massive kitchen, and oceanfront outdoor lounging spaces, all provided the best of times for our camaraderie, reunion, and renewal of spirits. Highly recommend this property!!!! Beach Realty folks are the Best also!

"The Sanctuary" was a wonderful place for our family reunion. The eight bedroom, eight and a half bathroom property was ideal for privacy and convenience. The kitchen is large with plenty of room to cook for a large group, as well as the living area and decks. There is also lots of places to slip off for some quiet time alone. My family enjoyed the media room with the giant screen for movies and football games, and also the large flat screen TV in the living room for different football games. This house has everything we could possibly want or need. We liked it so much we reserved it for next years reunion before we even left the area. Desiree could not have been more helpful with our reservation and needs. She was professional, courteous, kind and helpful. Thank you Desiree!!!

Especially enjoyed having the outdoor kitchen - perfect for bbq for a large group. Great spot!

The temps were very cold so the hot tub couldn't hold heat (not much to do about that)...The house next to us was under construction, a lot of framing going on (we turned the music louder!) Our first night there was a storm which set the electronics haywire...called SC Beach Realty, they sent maintenance ASAP and he got us back the best he could (super patient man). When all said and done...we have a great family and can overcome. We'd gladly come back again. Desiree was very helpful and understanding to our needs..Thank you.
