We were looking to relocate in South Carolina. He showed us many homes, almost got one but we were a bit late. He took us on, yelling, cursing, crying etc.. But he showed us the house that was meant to be! We almost lost Ron, because it's so frustrating to find a home that we all were just literally beside ourselves. But he hung in there! He has the patience of a saint. He also went out of his way to help with issues in the house we sold. We don't know of anyone who tries to please as much as this gentleman! We're so satisfied! We can't even describe how much we appreciate Ron! If you need a realtor, contact RON BOYKIN! He's the BEST!!

After having multiple conversations in a months time with a realtor named Skyler Hearl, about our…read more(four people in total- one couple and two separate moves and looking for another couple) moving to South Carolina from Utah. She agreed to become our agent for the Myrtle Beach Conway area. We all hit the net and found multiple listings, and sent those request to her to review. Durning several conversations about our time there being short, we would like to see as many houses as we possibly can and that we started out in the Columbia area with agents. We at first had a set date for Sunday, which she really didn't want to do. It happened that we were able to get ahead of schedule due to some of the Columbia listings had just got contracts on them and that we had a free day open so we reached out to her and let her know that if she would like to move up the schedule it's doable and will free up the Sunday. She gladly agreed to do so...then at 5am on the day of the viewings, she dropped us like a hot potato saying that she can't represent us, and that her "team" decided the same thing. via email, even after being asked to send texts, that the email is attached to a business computer and not the phone so access is limited. So we flew out here to South Carolina to look at homes and the ones in the Myrtle Beach / Conway area, now is a total bust. Now we're lost, pissed and over this and yes, you probably guessed it, a text was sent with some extremely chose words in it, but after spending time , a boat load of money and adjusting to her schedule; can you blame it. In short: Do not use this real estate agent and or if true the "team". The whole time while setting up the schedule she just seem more interested in her baseball games and private life then trying to work with customers and earn a commission. This should have been our red flag from the start. Apparently this girl does not want to do her job if it gets in the way of her personal life, there definitely isn't a feeling of drive.

*HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED TO CHECK-IN OR OUT ON THE WEEKENDS*…read more Unfortunately, our check-in experience with Garden City Realty was extremely frustrating and poorly communicated. Everything leading up to our arrival was fine. On the morning of check-in, I received a text around 10:00 AM stating that our rental property was ready. I followed the check-in instructions we had been provided and went to the Garden City Realty office, only to find that no one was there. I sat in the parking lot for more than 20 minutes trying to reach someone so that we could check in and get our keys. I called the emergency number, and the only extension available was for housekeeping. The woman I spoke with tried her best to help, but there was only so much she could do. Thankfully, the actual homeowner happened to be at the property and was able to change the door code for us while my in-laws were there. Otherwise, I'm not sure how long we would have been waiting to gain access to a property that we had already been told was ready. What made the situation even more concerning was what I learned afterward. After I emailed the office about our experience, I was contacted with an apology and was told that our check-in packet was not even placed in the outside lockbox. I was also told that I should have been contacted with the information needed for check-in. However, I received no phone call, text, or email providing that information. Then, the following day around 2:00 PM, I received a call from the office asking if I still needed keys. At that point, we had already been at the property since the previous day. That made me question whether there was any clear communication or tracking of whether we had even successfully checked in. I do appreciate that someone from the office contacted me after my email, apologized, and acknowledged that the check-in process was not handled correctly. However, guests should not have to track down staff, call an emergency number, rely on housekeeping, or fortunately have the homeowner on-site just to gain access to their vacation rental. Weekend check-ins are certainly not unusual for a vacation rental company, so there should be a reliable process in place when the office is not staffed. The lack of communication and preparation made the beginning of our vacation unnecessarily stressful and inconvenient. I hope Garden City Realty uses this experience to improve its weekend check-in procedures so another family does not have the same experience.

After driving almost 9 hours, my family and I arrive to the unit, somewhat early. Wasn't a problem,…read morethe keypad code worked and we were able to get in. When we walked in it felt unusually hot, even for a unit that had been possibly vacant for a day or 2. I went to turn down the air and saw that house was 86 degrees inside and there was an error message on the screen. Upstairs it was 89 degrees and the screen said "low battery." We immediately called the property company and they sent someone out to look at the unit. He was unable to fix it and stated they would get the HVAC company out as soon as they could "it should only take an hour, 2 at the most! This happend just this last Thursday and it was the board that needed fixed." Hmmm so there have already been issues? Interesting. An hour later someone comes to the door with a window unit. We asked him how long it would be, " between 4 and 5 hours." Called company manager, Leslie, back, told her the situation, polite woman but no help at all. "According to the rental agreement, you must give us the chance to remedy the situation. We are unable to move you at this time and unable to give you any other options." She states she was the property's manager and there was no one else we could speak with. So there we sat, in an 86 degree house, with little kids, waiting for the HVAC team to get there whenever that was "may be a while since it is after hours." No "I'm truly sorry for your inconvenience, let me work on something to expedite the situation or fix the problem by moving you." Zero customer service. Zero help. Only reason I gave 2 stars was because it was clean and the house was as advertised (except the air conditioning.)

Floors were messed up, paint was messed up, we found a dirty sock under the bed in the master bedroom, yard wasn't maintained, etc. We purchased a home and moved out prior to the end of lease and paid a company to clean the house and get everything to a state of cleanliness better than how we received it. Candance Griffith walked thought the home and sent us a list of deficiencies. My family and I went to the home and fixed the deficiencies, sending Candance photos to show what was done. The house was absolutely in better shape than how we received it, and this is coming from a Senior Leader from the 82nd Airborne Division with two decades of service during a time of war. When it was time to receive out $2200 deposit, we received $1230. Apparently they paid a company over $500 to clean a house that was cleaned???!!! It is what it is though.

We did get a text saying the rooms were ready but the cleaning staff made us wait another 20 minutes in both condos. At condo 115 the clleaning lady came out sweeping dirt and sand out the door. These ladies were rude and pushy as if we were inconveniencing them. Once we were in both condos were still dirty . The beds were made with dirty blankets, under the bed had trash and sprite bottles. There was some dirty dishes in the cabinet and the refrigerator had catchup splattered all one the bottom right side. The washer vent was broke, I called and reported it and a maintenance order was supposed to have been written up but no one ever came. The floor in one was sticky and both had uncleaned bathrooms.

Our recent stay at the Cobia Cottage in Murrells Inlet rented by Dunes Reality was unfortunately…read morevery disappointing, especially considering we paid approximately $3,600 for the rental. The location of the house was perfect, and that was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. Unfortunately, there were several serious issues that overshadowed the positives. The most concerning issue was that $400 in cash was stolen from inside the house. Dunes Realty acknowledged that a service repairman entered the property without providing us with sufficient notice. We filed a police report regarding the missing money. Dunes Realty also acknowledged that the individual had only been working for the company for approximately three days at the time. Despite acknowledging the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized/insufficiently noticed entry, the company has not made good on the $400 that was taken. There was also no secure place in the house where we could lock up valuables. There were other issues throughout the stay as well. On the very first day, we were told our towels were "missing." We later discovered that the linens had been left in a Rubbermaid tote outside under the deck by the cleaning company. This was frustrating and could have easily been avoided with better communication. With that there were also no hand towels provided just wash cloths and bath towels. On the first day while entering the house as well the screen door handle kept falling off multiple times throughout the stay at Cobia Cottage. There were other issues as well, such as they did not provide paper towels, they left each bathroom with about half roll of toilet paper and they only provided one garbage bag. They also did not provide sponges or dish soaps. Considering how much we spent on this rental it's very disappointing that the basic essentials were not provided. The wash and dryer are also located outside in a closet which was an inconvenience. The garbage can outside also smelt as if something had died in it that's has disgusting and gross and smelling it was. On our last day, we were instructed to strip the linens from the beds. When we did, we found that the pillows were absolutely disgusting, with visible soiling and sweat stains. For a rental costing $3,600, we expected much better cleanliness and upkeep. The kitchen also did not meet our expectations for the price. The pots and pans were mismatched, and the knives were extremely dull. Additionally, the window in the front bedroom leaked when it rained and we had water all over the bedroom that we had to clean. Overall, while the location was excellent, the lack of communication, the entry into the property by a service worker without sufficient notice, the $400 that went missing, and Dunes Realty's failure to make the situation right were major concerns. The other cleanliness and maintenance issues only added to the disappointment. Based on this experience, we would not rent through Dunes Realty again.

Again Mandy made excuses that included salt air and defect in unit and she was calling the manufacturer. The fact is they used cheap batteries and/or the unit needed to be replaced . I contacted owners through instagram and they were not happy.Also the emergency Itrip contact number listed in the unit was an outdated contact and was posted but not the right phone number anymore.
