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,

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.

It made beach days a breeze when filling up our coolers.

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.

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.
