Surf Master 509

Overall we enjoyed this property and the experience in renting it. The bed was extremely hard and there weren't enough chairs on the balcony for all of us to sit at one time.

I have never had a bad experience at the SurfMaster in all the many years I have stayed there. I was so relaxed by the time we left that we forgot our bodyboard.

PROS: Location is oceanfront wonderful, all amenities are there (although you many need to either replace the coffee maker or get the proper glass coffee pot size for it to work properly), and it is peaceful and quiet (usually, except July 4th).

CONS: Wish it was vacuumed a little better as I found wrappers and/or leftover snacks on the floor under the furniture (I moved them to do some yoga). There was only 1 set of sheets, not another for the pull out couch.

I will definitely come back there again and again, if financially possible!

One of the best condos I’ve stayed at in the area and all staff very helpful and kind.

3rd time at this same unit and we hope to book again soon.

- Robert S. from Jamestown, Posted: 11/12/2023

Our weeks was fun and relaxing. The people involved with the Realty office were on the ball and there when needed. We would definitely stay there again.

- Ted B. from Hermitage, Posted: 11/01/2023

It was a very clean condo and good size for 2-4 people. The bed was not comfortable and the blind in window lets too much light in the bedroom, other than that we enjoyed our stay and will be back to surfmaster in the future

Rental with GCR was, as always, flawless!

- Theresa R. from Germantown, Posted: 08/23/2023

Very enjoyable and relaxing vacation with my family.

- Harold B. from Monroeville, Posted: 07/31/2023

Using Garden City Realty made our entire experience simply effortless. The selection process is easy with very detailed descriptions as well as photo's. The check-in and out process is simple with keyless entry. We needed maintenance, just to operate the TV and a technician was there in less than 30 minutes. Surf Master is our choice resort in Garden City!

- Karen C. from S CHESTERFLD, Posted: 07/18/2023

We enjoyed our stay very much and looking forward to going back. Great view, ocean front! Beautiful!

- Jane T. from Lancaster, Posted: 07/17/2023

It was good! This was our second time in this unit. Had hard time getting comfortable and sleeping, mattress very uncomfortable, ac unit was definitely more noisy than before. Overall very clean unit as it was before.
Disappointed situation at the beach, we couldn’t sit right at the beach due to beach rental chairs and had to pay for. We had to be behind them and at so many feet away. We felt the cost of unit and traveling 14 hours we should have been able sit right at the ocean with our own chairs an umbrella. Definitely limited beach space for renters and beach goers.

- Chad and Taryn G. from Fulton, Posted: 06/26/2023

This was our third time staying in this particular condo and once again it was perfect. The unit is always very clean, all the furniture is comfortable and in new condition. I’m sure we’ll be back again later in the year.
Garden city realty does an amazing job with managing their properties and they are the only company we use when coming to the Grand Strand!

- Kevin M. from Etna, Posted: 05/08/2023

This unit was quite comfortable, including the sofa and bed. Great view, too.

- George M. from Baltimore, Posted: 05/01/2023

Overall, relaxing stay - we really enjoyed our time away to walk the beach, hear the ocean and spend some time together away from work.

- Angela S. from Delaware, Posted: 04/24/2023

Awesome rental. This is our second year in a row at this rental and we will definitely stay again in the future. Thanks!

- Robert S. from Jamestown, Posted: 10/08/2022

We stayed here for 2 weeks in September. Great condo. Perfect location. Very clean unit and has everything we need. The only bad thing is the resin balcony furniture. It was very dirty (stained) and broken. We stay in this unit a couple times a year and would like to see them buy a little nicer furniture for the balcony.

- Deborah C. from Scott Depot, Posted: 10/08/2022

The unit was very, very clean, bright and inviting. Great views of the coastline. Nice and private also. Was nice to have the keyless entry for the front door so I didn't have to worry about lugging around a key. Bed was very comfortable too. Livingroom furniture seemed brand new and was very comfortable too. Nice to have a washer/dryer in the unit also. Pool was very clean and the pool area was always clean too. Maintenance kept the building, elevators and the grounds very nice and clean. I can't wait to come back!

- Jill L. from Patton, Posted: 06/14/2022

We have been staying here for many years and have never been disappointed. Very clean and well maintained. Perfect location.

- Deborah C. from Scott Depot, Posted: 06/06/2022

Such a nice area away from all the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach but still close enough to drive to all of the attractions. My only little displeasure was that the bedroom was a little warm compared to the rest of the condo. It could use another a/c vent in the ceiling.

- Anonymous from Hewett, Posted: 05/01/2022

Awesome! Very nice complex and condo. Condo was fully equipped with everything. Weather always plays a big part and we got lucky.

- Thomas S. from Milan, Posted: 04/18/2022

Mary was great. Easy to reach and good follow up. Excellent property. On the Beach. Roomy. All furniture in good condition. Bedding was nice and firm. Would enjoy a little more water pressure in the shower but certainly adequate. All Appliances work. Clean and neat. Easy to get to. Many needed businesses close by. Golf courses within 20 minutes

- Frank W. from Draper, Posted: 11/02/2021

Excellent condo

- Robin & Richard D. from Tallmadge, Posted: 10/18/2021

Unit 509 was a very comfortable unit. We stayed a week in May and another week in Sept. I tried to book a 3rd week in Oct for a 10 day stay but it was already booked the week we were going. We did however book another unit at Surfmaster for the Oct trip.

- Terry W. from Roebuck, Posted: 09/20/2021

Awesome location with spectacular views!

- Robert S. from Jamestown, Posted: 08/30/2021

Loved it and would recommend Surfmaster for all that inquire about our stay. we've stayed numerous times over the years and have not one complaint!

- Anonymous from Leechburg, Posted: 07/09/2021

upon arrival we found the unit to be very clean and had a pleasant smell.

- Shawn M. from North Charleston, Posted: 05/11/2021

Everything went smoothly. Pam from Garden City Realty was great to work with.

- Anonymous from Mansfield, Posted: 05/07/2021

Very nice condo, #509 !! Would stay here again. Master is good size, living and dining area is large, and kitchen is superbly stocked. Front and side ocean view from the balcony are excellent. Only con might be that the master bath is a little tight but what the heck, I am not at the beach to spend all my time in the bathroom. Check in and check out very easy.

- Mark B. from Rock Hill, Posted: 05/05/2021

The place was very lovely! Loved sitting in the den area with the sliding doors open and listening to the ocean! Whole property was very clean and kept up well!

- Shelia E. from Winston Salem, Posted: 05/02/2021

Weather was okey. Had a chance to go to eateries we usually go to under the situations we are in. Scenery you couldn't ask for a better view (beach). It was good to have a different scenery and be able to sit inside to dine. The place was very spacious. I just recommend they leave a tv channel menu since our channels aren't the same.

- Patricia F. from Staten Island, Posted: 01/18/2021

Our trip in October was our second trip to unit #509 and our 5th trip using Garden City Realty. The unit is perfect! The new furniture is nice and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils and cooking pans you could ever need to whip up a meal. The only downside to our visit this year was the pool was extremely cold. The temperatures were 76-80 all week and we couldn’t get in the pool at all because it was so cold it hurt. Other than that we will for sure book another stay at unit #509.

- Kevin M. from Etna, Posted: 10/27/2020

Rey much enjoyed the visit. Relaxing and easy with no hassles. Property mgmt was very responsive, courteous and helpful.

- Jack R. from Greer, Posted: 10/16/2020

We love staying at Surf Master. It has everything we need and it’s close to all of our favorite restaurants. Condo was very clean. The mattress needs replaced but everything else was great. Looking forward to coming back in the spring!

- Deborah C. from Scott Depot, Posted: 10/01/2020

Very pleasant, clean and easy no hassle check in and check out.

- Nathan O. from Simpsonville, Posted: 06/23/2020

We had a very enjoyable stay in this condo. Kept very clean and a perfect view. Didn’t need anything more. Nice size bedroom. Nice complex.

- Richard R. from Mineral Ridge, Posted: 06/11/2020

It was clean, had all the appliances needed. Happy to see new living room furniture. Fantastic view!

- Jody G. from Utica, Posted: 03/03/2020

We stay here every year and it’s always a wonderful time. Very clean and has everything we need for our extended stay. Location is perfect. Pools are clean. Definitely recommend this condo and Surf Master.

- Deborah C. from Scott Depot, Posted: 10/28/2019

Condo 509 is very nice. Everything is there that you need. The only thing is that the living room furniture is uncomfortable. Large divots from wear.

- Anonymous from Front Royal, Posted: 09/16/2019

We had a great experience staying at SurfMaster 509

- Kirk G. from Buchtel, Posted: 06/25/2019

This is our 4th trip to this same condo and we have had a good experience every time. The condo has not been modernized in years but everything works and is adequate. The view is great and height (5th floor) is about right. It would be nice to have some more comfortable furniture on the deck.

- William R. from Jefferson City, Posted: 06/05/2019

As always an amazing stay..love Myrtle Beach. The rental was very comfortable, clean, great view. Garden City Reality makes a pit a great experience.

- Anonymous from Fulton, Posted: 06/03/2019

Condo was great; could use some new living room furniture. Toilet in 1/2 bath had a bad valve; kept running. Called maintenance Monday morning and Dave was there in 5 minutes, had the problem fixed in 2 minutes! Thanks Dave! Overall it was a great week and stay! Looking forward to next year! Will probably try for 509 again!

- Tim N. from Maysville, Posted: 05/27/2019

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Surfside 509. The condo was great, clean and neat. The weather was amazing all week! Second time at Surfside, very happy there!

- Joseph H. from Sharon Springs, Posted: 05/12/2019

We loved the view and the condo! The furniture was nice and there was everything we needed to cook with in the kitchen. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice rental. It was spacious and clean.

- Anonymous from Jamestown, Posted: 05/06/2019

My wife and I love staying in the Garden City Beach are. You're just far enough south of the main strip to avoid all the congestion and close enough to enjoy the local attractions. Garden city realty has always treated us great! I will use them for all our rental needs in the area when we visit. Surf Master 509 was a very clean and nice. The balcony is very large and the unit overall is in great condition. The kitchen is well stocked with all the items you need to make a nice meal. The deck and pool area was also well taken care of. You won't be disappointed in any of the Surfmaster Units!

- Kevin M. from Etna, Posted: 04/25/2019

Nice condo that is well-furnished. Freezer makes an occasional jackhammer sound. Maintenance stopped by to repair heavy drip from the toilet tank. Can opener was nearing its end.

- Anonymous from Columbia, Posted: 01/17/2019

We were looking for a quiet condo right on the ocean to spend a week, and we found that through Garden City Rentals. The condo was exactly as it was portrayed on their website and had everything we needed for our stay.

- Anonymous from Iron Station, Posted: 10/29/2018

As usual, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to 509, our fourth. Although the condo could benefit from some upgrades (back bathroom faucets come to mind, furniture) the condo is clean and functional. We had some difficulty getting the unit to cool down as it had in the past we finally figured that the cooling works fine when folks move in around the unit. The staff went out of their way to attend to our needs, as usual.

- William R. from Jefferson City, Posted: 10/16/2018

wonderful

- Donald F. from Lenoir, Posted: 09/04/2018

Our first visit to Myrtle Beach and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. We are planning next years vacation and if we can stay here we definitely will.

- Anonymous from Camp Hill, Posted: 08/26/2018

The condo we stayed was in need of some repair and updating. The sofa bed was unable to be used. The property itself is wonderful. The staff, especially jackie are wonderful. Will definitely return, just not the same condo.

- Denise W. from Prescott, Posted: 08/06/2018

Great

- Anonymous from Spring Grove, Posted: 06/11/2018

This was our third visit to this condo. As usual, we had a great experience. The only complaints were a running toilet and TV remotes that worked less than ideally. My only suggestion for an improvement would be to put a lounge on the deck so I could nap! Also, we missed having an ice cream scoop!

- William R. from Jefferson City, Posted: 05/28/2018

Not only was the door unlocked and the key awaiting our late arrival, but so was a fully equipped kitchen, clean, functional and comfortable furnishings and equipment, hospitable property manager and the constant purr of ocean breakers. Good value for money.

Very enjoyable stay

- John S. from Friendly, Posted: 09/11/2017

Great balcony for enjoying the ocean view. This unit is very convenient to elevator, pool, and parking. The kitchen was well equipped. We slept well. A curtain would be nice in bedroom to keep out light infiltration. Could use some minor updating. We called Maintenance because of a water leak from laundry room of the unit above and they came immediately. Very pleased with the management.

- Anonymous from HENDERSONVILLE, Posted: 08/09/2017

Surfmaster was a wonderful place for my family, as it has been in years past. Condo was nice, great beach access and no trouble parking. No complaints...will stay again for sure.

- Dustin G. from Union, Posted: 08/08/2017

We had a great week! The rental was clean and well stocked. A little issue with the water from the hot water heater burst in 909, but maintenance was on it even at 2am and checked in with us 2 or 3 times the next day. Brought in dryer for the ceilings. Most water went into the bathtub so other than the wet ceilings, there was no clean up for us. We were there a very busy week and the parking was an issue, but only had to park on side of road once.

- Rhonda H. from Grovetown, Posted: 07/10/2017

First unit I've rented that did not have a hair dryer. Found that out when I got out of the shower. Could have used one.

- Earlene C. from Concord, Posted: 06/04/2017

The only negatives were a faulty kitchen faucet and some windows not cleaned. However, we love the place and hope to come again next year.

- William R. from Jefferson City, Posted: 05/29/2017

Great

- Anonymous from Spring Grove, Posted: 05/29/2017

We like to rent from Garden City Realty because the units are clean. The linens are included in the rentals and the beds are made when you arrive.

- Ronald F. from Bethlehem, Posted: 09/05/2016

Stay was excellent. Few very minor issues with second toilet having to be flushed twice (this stopped happening mid-week - no explanation) and stopper in main bathroom restricting water drainage.

- Donald A. from Wolcott, Posted: 08/22/2016

Positives: One-bedroom bed was very comfortable; clean environment; well stocked; great view.
Negatives: Sofa bed was torture (unusable); patio furniture is peeling; outlets worn out in some areas; sofas are faded and worn.
Best Part: Lifeguards did a great job rescuing people caught-up in rip-tides and keeping the beach safe!!

Great location. Everything worked properly. The only complaint is a minor one: the side living room windows were not clean. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We hope to return.

- William R. from Jefferson City, Posted: 05/31/2016

Rain when we arrived, unit was beautiful, had excellence food at Nance's, Flo's, Hot Fish Club and always Sam's. The sun came out and what a great weekend! Will love to come again!To top everything off we got to meet Jackie at Garden City Realty that told us about this unit and she was very nice! Overall great trip!

- Linda H. from Amissville, Posted: 04/07/2016

Everything worked out fine and also everything worked in Unit 509 for our 8 day stay last week. This particular unity is overdue for a makeover of furniture, bedding and appliances. It is not a modern unit as you can feel the wear on the couches and notice some rust on the patio furniture and refrigerator. Many units in the Surfmaster need updating as we have stayed in many of them over the years. If you are not fussy and want clean, reasonably decent looking furnishings then #509 will be an OK choice. The views were outstanding and the pools were clean and working perfectly. I will return to the Surfmaster but will look for another unit more up to date. All in all better than a hotel and you can't beat the privacy of you own place undisturbed for a week.

- Joe G. from Niagara Falls, Posted: 03/30/2016

This was the first time that we stayed at Surf Master and absolutely loved the location. Unit 509 was nice. There was a problem with the light in the kitchen, not coming on, we reported it to the office, but no one ever came to look at it. We finally got it to come on and just left it on all week. We also found it odd that there was not any hangers in the closets. We went to WalMart and bought some and just left them there for the next person. I do love working with Garden City Realty, have been going through them for 6 years. Would definitely stay at Surf Master again.

- Debbie F. from Murrells Inlet, Posted: 10/12/2015

Mrs. Fowler - I'm so sorry to hear about the kitchen light and the fact that we failed to respond in an appropriate amount of time. In most cases, our on-site staff is able to fix any maintenance related issues within hours of their occurrence. I'm glad to hear that this will not be deterring you from staying with us again. - Surf Master Management

This is our 29th yr at Surfmaster. It was a great vacation however some minor difficulties with condo were a problem. Slightly warm water til we called on Tues a.m. Svc man came on Tues late in day and said he would be back on Wed to replace hot water tank. Never came til Thurs and then we had hot water for the last 2 days. Lighting is not bright enough, esp in master bath. Kitchen light ballast bad - light may or may not come on. Had to leave on entire week. TV screens not large enough for size of rooms. Condo is very pretty.

- Anonymous from Scottdale, Posted: 10/01/2015

Mrs. Dyzak - Thank you so much for posting a review of Surf Master 509. I'm so sorry to hear that you had a few difficulties this year. There is no doubt that going without hot water for a few days is a very big deal. Thankfully, we were able to have this hot water heater replaced within two days of your report so that it did not effect anyone else. Also, after your comments and the comments from one other guest, we were able to get the ballast in the kitchen light replaced. As a result, this light is now functioning just as it is supposed to. I hope that these things will not deter you from visiting us again next year. - Surf Master Management

Everything was clean and ready for our week of fun in the sun!!! We have been here @ Surf Master 509 before and will return again!!!

Great sunrises and sunsets on your private deck. Doesn't get much better then this to be right on the beach.

- Jody F. from Aiken, Posted: 10/07/2014

This was our first time renting a condo and we had a wonderful stay. Everything was as advertised and the management team very polite. Ashleigh was most helpful in meeting our needs and we appreciate her working with us!
I would have given 5 stars to the general condition but the couch and bed are beginning to wear and losing support as with the mattress...nothing major just wearing. Thank you all for a wonderful stay!

- Tommy S. from York, Posted: 09/30/2014

When I first arrived the rental was supposed to be at Carolina Shores. I was promised a 1st floor ( did not happen ) Not a big deal but there was only 11 parking places for numerous rentals. I mentioned this to the employees out front and did not recieve any help. They just stated that the parking is bad and would get towed if parked any other place. ( NO Help ). This is when I insisted on seeing the manager ( He changed my location and was very professional / due to him and him only I plan on going thru your company again. I have been going there with my family for 20 plus years straight. This was my second trip this year and only took my wife. Thanks the manager for me.
