This is the 3rd year we've rented this unit for the month of October -- it's like going home! We love the view and the amenities of this condo. The beds are comfy, and the view is fabulous! Thanks for updating the furniture!
We had an issue with the dishwasher and it was handled promptly by the Garden City Realty Staff. Dan is very responsive.
I feel the cleaning staff could do a little better job next to windows and walls (dead bugs), on cupboards above stove (grease from stove), and ceiling fans (dusty). My hope is that it's cleaner next year since the cleaning fee has gone up.
Overall, we love this unit and are already looking forward to next October!

I have stayed at SurfMaster four times. My experience has always been great. I love the view from the condo. I feel as if I'm standing on a ship's bow because all I can see is ocean before me. I love to constantly hear the waves pounding on the shore just below my window. Making reservations, checking in, checking out go seamlessly. On site repairmen are available if I need them. Everything is as described; no surprises. I will return soon.

great rental
- Anonymous from Chester, Posted: 07/15/2024
everything was fine with the booking, the staff and the unit. The only thing we aren't happy with is the check in time. We are paying for that day but it is almost over by the time you get in it. You have to be out by 10:00 so the turn around time seems to be a little long.
- Julie H. from Fairmont, Posted: 06/23/2024
We loved it. The condo was great and it was close to everything. I really appreciate the Surf Master maintenance department. We have a 2 year old that could fit through the balcony rail and they came right up and put a netting up for us. So kind and considerate. The only negative we experienced was the loudness of the large AC units outside our unit. They kept some of the family awake at night. Thank you for a lovely time.
- Della T. from Greenville, Posted: 06/16/2024
Only minor negative was a lack of silverware if we were to have more than 5 people for dinner. Rest was good.
- Tim L. from Clayton, Posted: 03/16/2024
Tim - thanks for bringing out attention to the lack of silverware. Since receiving your review, we have re-stocked the property to include the utensils necessary to accommodate the entire party. We look forward to having you back at the beach very soon.

This was our second year staying here for the month of October and we've already booked next year! Great to see that they replaced the refrigerator and microwave right before we arrived! The sliding door has also been fixed and is very easy to open.
Condo has great view, comfy beds, and is in a great location. It could use a couple good knives (I started bringing my own).
The only issue we ever have is with the blinds. The slats fall off all the time, sometimes just randomly. We are seniors and use them properly (not rough with them), but slats just fall off. Also, chairs in the living room are getting kind of thread-bare on the arms.
- Lynn G. from Parma Heights, Posted: 11/29/2023
Lynn - Thank you for returning to Surf Master 408 year after year! I'm very happy to report that the property owner takes your feedback to heart. She has recently replaced the living room furniture as well as the appliances as you have already noted in your review. We are excited to see you here at the beach again next year!
- Garden City Realty staff
This was our 1st time staying in this unit in Garden City. Location is great. It’s ~ a 1.5 mile walk to the Surfside Pier & ~ 1.2 miles to the Garden City Pier. We had perfect weather all week and took full advantage of the beach and pool.
The unit was very clean upon arrival and the fresh linens were already on the beds. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The balcony provided the perfect view for the sunrise and coffee.
The only negative thing is that the refrigerator looks horrid. It works fine and makes tons of ice, but the outside of the fridge is awful. It has some type of black stain that really makes it appear old & moldy, but it isn’t. It’s just stained. We wish the owners would either replace it or buy a little appliance paint. One of our group threatened to purchase contact paper to cover it. It is really hard to look at.
Overall, it is a great unit. Spacious and with up to date furnishings. We hope to rent this unit again in the future..... hopefully with a new fridge.
- Anonymous from Charleston, Posted: 09/11/2023
Susan - Thank you so much for your feedback. We're so glad you like the condo and that you felt it had everything you needed. Unfortunately, the refrigerator damage you noted in your review was the result of an improper cleaning chemical being used on this surface by one of our cleaners. This appliance has since been replaced, so there is no longer need for concern in reference to the refrigerator. We appreciate your continued patronage and look forward to having you back at the beach soon!
- Garden City Realty staff
As always with Surf Master, was a great vacation. This rental does need more pots and pans, as well as silverware but we made it work. The Frig looked horrible but worked, actually i figured it was a loaner after regular frig broke or something. Overall very pleasant place. Location location location, I have stayed at surfmaster many times and different units. I recommend Surf Master to my friends frequently.
- Kimberly S. from Hagerstown, Posted: 08/21/2023
Kimberly - Thank you very much for your feedback. Unfortunately, one of our cleaners got a bit carried away with an improper chemical and it ended up damaging the refrigerator doors. As a result, this refrigerator has now been replaced. Similarly, the kitchen drawers have been restocked with the supplies needed to accommodate the entire traveling party. We look forward to having you back soon!

My family had a great time. The view out to the ocean is beautiful, I love how they have the double windows - really just opens up and gives great ocean views. The beach wasn't overly packed - one thing to note, is that they have a chair/umbrella renting service on their beach and spans the entire property. You can bring your own but would have so sit behind the row of umbrellas. The pool was fun for the kiddos, and I enjoyed being able to relax and view the Ocean from the pool :). The keyless entry was extremely convenient; especially for the check in process. I was worried I would have to go off site to get keys or something, and this wasn't the case. The elevator was pretty easy to use most of the time except on check out date (was a Saturday), I probably spent 10-15 mins waiting ~ 9:30am for a 10am checkout. I would recommend staying here though. Overflow parking on the 1st level was always open if needed.
- Anonymous from Johnstown, Posted: 08/07/2023
Great location and view. Easy to check in and out. The main balcony door was a hard to open and the outside handle on bedroom balcony door was broken off. Other than that PERFECT
- Denette N. from Cuyahoga Falls, Posted: 05/15/2023
Denette - We are happy to report your feedback was heard and the rollers on the balcony doors have been replaced. They are now operating smoothly, and will be that way when you return again.
- Garden City Realty staff
We were pleased with the Unit.
- Lynn M. from Fenton, Posted: 02/17/2023
Beautiful condo with a stunning view. It had everything we needed for our month-long stay. Comfortable bed in the master. It was great to have another king sized bed in the guest room for visitors!
We arrived right after Hurricane Ian came through, and the staff did a great job overseeing getting the elevators running, pool and hot tub operational, and general clean-up of all the sand!
We have already booked for next year!
- Lynn G. from Parma Heights, Posted: 11/11/2022
Condo was very clean & updated, Beautiful views!
- Myra B. from Pennsboro, Posted: 10/11/2022
Our family loves Surf Master 408 because of the size of the condo and huge balcony that allows for long clear view of the north and south stretch of the beach. We have stayed there twice and love it. But due to our advancing age we would suggest that at least one bathroom have a handicap shower, perhaps two beds in the second king bedroom and a recliner in the living area. That would make it PERFECT! The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware.

There was a small hiccup Saturday night with the cooling water flow. They did a great job getting it repaired. I met Dave the Building manager and he went above and beyond to get all of the issue’s corrected. He is the most detail oriented manager I’ve ever met!
- Clyde M. from Baltimore, Posted: 07/11/2022
The property was exactly as described and just as nice as one could imagine. Had a wonderful time with kids, grands and great-grands. Looking forward to returning some time in the future for another stay.

Very attractive but living room furniture not very comfortable
- Anonymous from Fryeburg, Posted: 02/17/2022
We loved unit 408 at Surf Master! Parking was easy, location was prime, and the views from the corner unit were breathtaking! Only thing is I wish I had brought kitchen essentials such as liquid soap and paper towels. Kitchen towels and dishrags would be great. We had plenty of bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths, however. The unit was clean and adequately furnished and the beds were comfortable. Also, upon arrival, two of the toilets would not stop running. I called the maintenance number and a repairman was there in minutes! Good to know someone would take care of the issue so efficiently! Communication, check-in and check-out were a breeze! We were very pleased and will return!
- Natalie C. from Beckley, Posted: 12/30/2021
The condo was nice, but the love seat and couch were very uncomfortable. The fabric was dirty looking, it was covered in fabric knots, and the couch was VERY worn out. You sank so far down into the couch. We had to put blankets under the cushions because the metal cut into your legs. Jackie and Maggie were so helpful and sweet to help us with a few issues in the condo. Wonderful view
- Joyce L. from Rocky Gap, Posted: 11/04/2021
very nice condo,great location
- John M. from Lexington, Posted: 09/28/2021
Very happy with this rental process from the booking to check-out we were very happy. We were very pleased with the unit as it appears newly remodeled and most things were in very good condition. No complaints at all. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an outstanding place at the beach!
- Greg P. from Greer, Posted: 09/06/2021
First time we stayed here. The view was amazing. The condo was big very spacious. Plenty of room. Dining area was nice to made it to where we could have family time together. Would def recommend. The pool area I thought would've been a problem with everyone e staying there. But no had plenty of places to recline back enjoy the pool and the ocean.
- Ricky B. from Marion, Posted: 08/02/2021
We were extremely happy with our Condo (408). It was very clean and had a wonderful view. Everything was comfortable and up to date. We will def. be staying here again.
- Brian L. from Cumberland, Posted: 07/13/2021
We have stayed at the Surfmaster several times and it is a great place. The actual condos and amenities seem to be varied. This condo was nice, the beds were comfortable. The kitchen needed some updating, the fridge would freeze things and the oven doesn't cook evenly. Usually that wouldn't matter but with the current covid situation we chose not to eat out as much as we would. Otherwise the condo was great. I hope in the future that the descriptions will include whether there is a keypad entrance or actual keys because that will determine where I would stay. The keypads should be on every door. We love Garden City Beach and will definitely return!

- Janice R. from Winchester, Posted: 08/21/2019
overall great as usual. My only complaint is the WiFi was horrible. We have stayed there yearly for 10 plus years and this was worst it has ever been.
- Abby R. from Wentzville, Posted: 07/17/2019
We had a perfect vacation with our entire family of children and grandchildren at Surf Master 408. The room was clean and beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The very best part was the large balcony and the unobstructed view of the ocean! A continuous breeze was able to circulate across the entire balcony and there was room for all 9 of us to enjoy it together. The short walk to the beach, pool and hot tub made it more enjoyable for the small children and their parents. I would highly recommend this unit and will definitely be returning!
- Dale M. from Easley, Posted: 06/25/2019
Surf Master suite 408 is a beautiful suite, tastefully decorated throughout and well suited for families with or without children. The open floor plan keeps everyone together but yet allows for multiple activities and visiting inside and on the balcony. The main living space, kitchen and hall have a beautiful wood looking flooring that cleans up easily. The kitchen has a very nice work area/bar for prepping and serving meals. It is well equipped with pots and pans, utensils, a blender and hand mixer. The washer/dryer are a big plus! The bedrooms are also very tastefully and yet efficiently decorated for vacationeers. And the 3 bathrooms are great for large groups.
- Anonymous from Phoenix, Posted: 06/17/2019
This was our second month of March in 408. Just like last year, the unit was clean and everything in order.
Maintenance manager Dan DeFreest was again friendly and helpful. The elevators are truly a perfect piece of reliability. My longest wait in the whole month was 17 seconds.
The only disappointment was the carpet removed from living room area.The website picture should be updated to reflect this change.
- Jerry D. from Kincardine, Posted: 04/11/2019
This condo is very well maintained. The decor was beautiful and the view is breathtaking. We will definitely be back
- Deanna C. from Plainfield, Posted: 04/11/2019
Our stay at Surfmaster 408 was absolutely wonderful! The condo with spacious and clean. Close to restaurants, activities and entertainment. We especially enjoyed this unit because it was a corner unit so the oceanfront balcony was larger than the other units. We also liked the fact that there were two king size bed in the condo which allows to adult couples to sleep comfortably. We highly recommend Surfmaster for 08. Hope to take the kids back there summer 2019
- Cassey G. from Leesville, Posted: 11/07/2018
We stay at Surf Maaster every year, especially enjoy it for the World Amatuer Golf. Guys do the golf and the girls stay on the beach and go shopping. Location is great for any activity.Terrific view. We are now making plans for next year.
- Barbara S. from Anderson, Posted: 09/03/2018
I have nothing negative to say about my stay. The condo was very clean. The staff I dealt with over the phone, email, and in person were all extremely kind and helpful. The beach was very clean and not too crowded. I truly cannot say enough good things and I cannot wait to go back.

We enjoyed our stay at M408. From the beautiful view to a very good condition of the whole unit to helpful staff.
When we found out there was no phone service in the unit, the manager Drew McElveen promptly arranged for a cell phone service with no cost to us.
Maintenance manager Dan DeFreest was very helpful and professional when we needed his help.
Jackie Alston friendly and helpful as always.
Booked M408 again for March 2019.

This was the nicest condo! The Renovations were great! The condo was very clean and decorated very well. The views were fabulous. The beds slept very well and we loved the fact that it had two king beds, one queen and one double. We also liked being in an end unit and not having foot traffic when resting. We are already discussing plans for next year. If we rent another condo, we will certainly request 408 again! Loved it!
- William B. from McColl, Posted: 07/11/2017
Was decorated very nice with a beach theme and comfortable. But Was very disappointed with wifi situation and the fact that there was only 2 TV'S in the condo. Had to go and purchase more forks, there was only 8 forks for a condo that slept 10 and couldn't even serve 10. The kitchen could use few new storage items. Also new pillows are needed.
- Debbie C. from Johnson City, Posted: 06/26/2017
Debbie - We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the condo and the new décor! I'm sorry to hear that the WIFI didn't work well for you. Since your stay we have checked the connectivity to ensure that a signal reaches the entire condo. At the time we checked it, the signal provided 2 out of 4 bars at the weakest point. You're correct in stating that the condo only has two TV's. The owners are currently looking into the idea of adding smart TVs to the back bedrooms since there are not cable connections in these bedrooms. Since your review was posted, the pillows have been replaced. Lastly, we apologize that you had to go out and purchase additional forks. Our on-site office is here to provide you with anything you need during your stay. Please make sure to stop by and talk to us next time you are experiencing issues. - Surf Master Management

A beautiful condo that exceeded our expectations! We have stayed at Surfmaster many times and by far this is our favorite unit. After several hours of travel with 3 children, it was so nice to come into a lovely, very clean and beautifully decorated place to stay for the week. I didn't feel that I needed to spend any time cleaning before we settled in. The beds were made and bathrooms clean. Beds were comfortable - great sizes for each room. Washer/Dryer is so useful to be able to wash towels every day. Love the location! Beautiful views! We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this unit! Very Satisfied! 5 Stars!
A couple of simple recommendations for the owners: sleeping pillows definitely need replacing in room with two beds, beach chairs that remain with the unit would be a great bonus, a tv in all bedrooms would be nice when everyone is settling in for the night, we bought a few small items for the kitchen that we needed and left with the unit but might want to add a muffin pan, a few more eating utensils(forks/spoons) and storage containers for food that stay with the unit
Thank you for offering such a lovely rental place for our family to enjoy some much needed time away! We truly enjoyed our stay!

- Debbie B. from Simpsonville, Posted: 04/13/2017
Since we spent 5 months here this winter, we really wanted a nice comfortable condo.For the most part this unit met our expectations. The master bedroom mattress is not the best..needs to be replaced. But the others are in fine shape. Lovely appointments in all rooms. I love the beachy colors. I would suggest that the stove be replaced or given a very good cleaning.We found several problems but the manager addressed most all of them to our satisfaction.I think that is one of the bonuses of renting from Garden Center/Surfmaster....our manager was very kind and helpful.We love this area because it is much quieter. There are so many great places to eat not far from our home away from home. We'll be back next winter for sure!! It would be really great if we had security during our stay as we found there were lots of people, especially teens coming in off the beach and taking advantage of the hot tubs.Some even using the parking that is reserved for the guests. Each unit is allowed 2 parking spots so if someone off the street comes in to park that takes up space that a guest or resident could use, especially during busy times or when there is work going on as it was this winter.
- David S. from Waynesboro, Posted: 04/03/2017
This area has become our winter home away from home.We love the area because you don't have all the hustle and bustle found in Myrtle Beach proper. Our condo is beautifully decorated in lovely beach colors with very adequate furnishings.
- David S. from Waynesboro, Posted: 03/03/2017
We've stayed in this lovely unit for 2 winters, now, and hope to come back again. Very clean,beautifully decorated and what a view!
The staff is one of the best we encountered since coming too this area the past 10 years.

Very workable as far as maintenance arranging a beginning time, but our balcony was unable to be used for 5 hours one day. After learning no one was checking in after us, we would have appreciated the ceiling repair on the balcony to take place after we left.
- Deb O. from Greer, Posted: 09/26/2016
We have stayed at the SurfMaster 4 times, each being better than the previous. We look forward to returning to the Best Vacation spot.
- Christine A. from Aldan, Posted: 09/05/2016
We have been coming to Surfmaster since 1987. We understand that each unit is individually owned The kitchen utensils were in adequate in this unit Not enough plates, cups, silverware There were only two TVs in the unit, leaving no TVs in either of two bedrooms
Surfmaster has done a nice job of fixing up the outside of the facility
The lifeguard, or should I say umbrella and chair sales person, was the most arrogant one I have ever seen at this place I did complain to the office, knowing that they have no control of this individual He threatened me, deliberately kick sand on my towel and blanket, and threaten to damage my umbrella because I did not rent one from him
One suggestion is that you do not empty ice out of the freezer between rentals We had to go buy a bag of ice because the icemaker was in adequate
- Bruce L. from Mt Laurel, Posted: 08/29/2016
Beds were very comfortable will stay in the same room again everything was very clean I loved the location everything was an A+ view was great
- Hank and Sandra D. from Pendleton, Posted: 07/18/2016
Had a great time at Bike Week 2016. Had a wonderful condo to come back to and relax after a busy day of running the roads and dealing with traffic. I know myself and the others that stayed with me enjoyed this place very much, and we will more than likely try to get it again next year. It was bigger and nicer than a Penthouse some other friends were at down the road. Thank for everything.
- David S. from Moncks Corner, Posted: 06/07/2016
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We arrived an hour early and were told our condo was ready. We were able to move right in. The unit was very clean. We had a great view of the beach. The unit was very well laid out. The pictures of the unit on the website are exactly what the unit looks like. It is very relaxing. The only issue we had was that we could not use a canopy/tent on the beach. We had our mothers aged 75 & 80 years old with us. Also had our one year old granddaughter. None of them are able to spend a lot of time in the sun. A resident of Surf Master told us there is a 500 dollar fine for using a tent. This should be explained to renters. It should also be posted on the beach. I understand this is not a rule of Surf Master but would be nice to know about. It appears that the local government officials are not very family oriented.

We spent the winter months here at this beautiful 4th floor unit and have really enjoyed it.
- David S. from Waynesboro, Posted: 05/17/2016
We've spent the past 10 winters in this area and have found that the management here at SurfMaster has been the most courteous and helpful of them all. We love the condo we're in. The owner has decorated it in beautiful beachy 's a real treat to wake up every morning to see the awesome sunrise over the ocean. We love this area more than any part of Myrtle Beach, because it's very family orientated and quiet.
- David S. from Waynesboro, Posted: 01/03/2016
We've been coming to this area for quite a number of years. This is the cleanest nicest condo we've had yet. It's in one of the best high rise buildings in this area and right on the beach. Very convenient to shopping.

- Karen G. from Pottstown, Posted: 10/16/2015
Surfmaster is a wonderful place to stay. The location is awesome. This is our 4th stay, but in a different unit. Unit 408 is beautiful, but could use more kitchen amenities. Also, the internet connection was very slow (we use internet for work). All considered, I would recommend the Surfmaster.
- Anonymous from North Huntingdon, Posted: 09/22/2015
The condo was beautiful! Recently updated with plenty of space for the whole family. You can't beat the view! You can see out to the ocean, as well as up to the Surfside pier and the Garden City pier from the balcony. Comfortable furniture and beds. Nice flatscreen HDTV in the living room and Master suite. We hope to return in the future.

The condo was very clean and nice. Our only issue was the frequent breakdown of the elevators. We had 31 family members in 4 condos on several floors. My mother is wheelchair bound and because of the elevators was unable to enjoy several family events held on other floors. We will consider this when booking in the future.
- Abby R. from Wentzville, Posted: 07/27/2015
Abby,
Abby,
Thanks so much for taking the time to post a review on your stay at Surf Master. I apologize for the trouble we had with the elevators the week you were here. We did, indeed, have several difficulties with them that have now been resolved. It is very unfortunate that these issues arose during your family?s stay. We hope that you will return again next year, trusting that the elevators will be in good, working order.

We loved our condo--it was beautiful and very comfortable. We were disappointed that during our stay there was a water leak in the front bath and leaked into the closet and caused some water damage to a few items in the closet and we were unable to use the closet for the rest of our visit (5 days). The problem was addressed and corrected promptly however. There was also only 1 elevator for all but the last day (sat) of our stay which caused major inconvience for us as we had 4 small children with us. We would definitely recommend this condo and hopefully the problems we experienced has been resolved.
- Donna P. from Lexington, Posted: 06/29/2015
Donna,
We're so glad that you got to stay in Surf Master 408 and enjoy the recent renovations. I'm sorry to hear that the shower mixing valve inside of the wall cracked while you were here. This is something that happens very rarely, but certainly causes a bit of an inconvenience when it does. Luckily, we were able to get the leak stopped and place air movers in the closet to dry the carpet right after the incident. Also, I'm sorry that one of the two elevators was down during your stay. The necessary repairs have since been completed as the parts arrived shortly after your departure. Thanks so much for staying with us this year! We hope to have you back in the near future!

This was the first time for my family to stay in Garden City, had been to Myrtle Beach area three times in the past, but this place was the best. The unit was beautiful, decorated very tastefully, had absolutely everything we needed for the week. We did not have to take our own sheets/towels, they were in our room individually packaged. The balcony was very large overlooking the ocean with plenty enough seating. The location was perfect, lifeguard right in front of the condo, umbrella and chair rentals from the lifeguard. Within walking distance to the Garden City pier. We will be returning and hopefully staying in this unit again!
- Dave L. from Robertsdale, Posted: 06/03/2015
Michelle,

The Garden City Reality staff was very nice and helpful. We had broken furniture on the balcony and they replaced it so we could enjoy the views. The condo was clean and well stocked with whatever we needed. More then two TV's would have been nice though.

For the past 20 years our family has reunited from NC and VA to the Surfside area for the Christmas holidays. Getting away from "home responsibilities", we have certainly found our vacations most relaxing and enjoyable at Surfmaster's resort. Entertainment, shopping and eateries are abundant!

The condo was very clean. I loved the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathroom. Prefect location. The balcony was the best part of the condo. The condo does need work: carpet and paint, and the hardware in every bathroom needs replaced. The furniture was great, plenty of places to sit and relax. Location was prefect and beach was great. We had a great time. The lady in the office could have been a little more friendly.
The elevator broke, so I went to the office to report and she acted like I was bothering her.
The maintaince guys around the building were always friendly and were always working. The outside (pool, hot tub, landscaping) were always clean and prefect.

The virtual tour showed two lounge chairs and 5 regular chairs on the outside patio, but the 5 chairs were broken down and dirty and there were no loungers. Since a lot of time is spent on the patio, this was a disappointment. The virtual show should match the actual features. I also think the clouded window looking over the ocean needs to be replaced. Otherwise, the beds and furniture were nice and comfortable and the place was clean and pretty well appointed.

2 Families of 3 each, all adults, had great time at Surf Master by the Sea. Don't miss the Conch Cafe 3 buildings to north for beach-side lunch/dinner. Easy walk!

We have stayed at Surfmaster numerous times and it is always a very enjoyable trip. That said, this unit has what I would call the minimum in what needs to be provided on a vacation rental. No extras and the furniture was not in good shape. 2 chairs had missing slats.
