We have stayed at the BH before and always enjoyed it. This unit was very nice and will be booking this one again!

We really liked this property. The layout, and comfortability and the location are great. The views were amazing. The only issue was the toilet in the master bath moved when you sat on it because it was not bolted to the floor! We called the office and told them to fix it, but that we didn't want maintenance to come while we were there. The next day maintenance came (but not for the toilet, they brought a broken chair back that they had fixed. Also most likely from the person who broke the toilet). And then 3 days later maintenance came again to look at our kitchen counter to see how it had been built (Was this necessary to be done during our stay???!!!)
Also, we received an entry code for the building prior to our arrival. I had a screenshot of it on my phone so that I would have it handy. Our first night there we took a late evening walk on the beach and when we returned to the building the door was locked (I believe the office locks it when they leave for the evening). We entered the code and it did not work. We tried several times and nothing. It was late, maybe almost midnight, and no one was around. We started looking for anyone who might be around or a door that might be opened. I found a stairwell door that was opened and we went up one flight which got us to the elevator and we were able to get to our room this way. I called Garden City Realty the next day but was unable to reach someone. The second evening we had the same thing happen again. But this time there was a person there who had the correct code and he gave it to us. It was NOT the same code that was given to me by Garden City Realty prior to our arrival. Everything was great the rest of the week until the last evening we were there and for some reason Atalaya Tower changed it again and we were not given a new one by anyone. I don't know if it was Garden City Realty's issue or Atalaya Tower issue but they need to inform guests of changing codes on the door!

My husband and I enjoyed a blissful week away from the stress of everyday life. The condo is well supplied with everything needed for a great week, including beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards.

We loved the patio set on the balcony and had our dinner there several nights while listening to the ocean and relaxing with a glass of wine.

Sunrises with a cup of coffee and morning devotions were amazing.

You will not regret investing your vacation budget of Surf Master 1110.

Another great week at Ocean View. A little maintenance would improve the experience. The shower off the back bedroom Is virtually unusable because you cannot adjust the water. The icemaker is not working properly and the refrigerator is showing lots of wear. We also had palmetto bugs this time

We love this little house and do not want it to fall into disrepair.

My family had rented this location in 2023 for one week and enjoyed it so much we rented for two weeks in 2024. The ocean views are wonderful, from the kitchen and livingroom, as well as the Master Bedroom.
This condo has an ocean front master, which leads out to the deck. The beds were very comfortable, and having the linens included is a plus.
The kitchen is well supplied with everything you could need, which makes for easy meal prep and storage. We had our friends to visit for one day and did a boil, we were able to enjoy the ocean views and eat outside on the deck.
This location is also excellent as it is close to everything. grocery, shopping and airport.
The beach items provided included 4 chairs and an umbrella. The pool is great for a quick dip to refresh yourself or to lay out if the beach gets to be too much. There were plenty of games and puzzles to keep us occupied in the evening.

Great 4 bedroom 2 bath ocean front with covered porch & rockers, 2 outdoor showers underneath, and a hose for spraying off sand on the private deck through the dunes to the beach. Large open kitchen/ living room area. Only negative issue, which may seem petty, is that every knife in the kitchen was dull. We had to buy some sharp knives the 2nd day just to be able to cut tomatoes & limes without cutting ourselves. Not a big deal but often overlooked by owners. Great week and our second year there.

This house had all the things our family needed, plus more. The rooms were all a decent size. The bathrooms were small, but we made it work. The open family room with dining area made the house seem so much bigger. Lots of deck space! The pool was wonderful. We love being only steps away from the beach!

Graysville

A wonderful family experience. Fishing was phenomenal! Location was perfect for us. Not being on the main road made everything much more relaxing. The floors were a bit dirty, but not bad enough to complain. The maintenance man’s (Buddy) side comment was offensive to my wife and I, but again that’s not Garden city’s fault. Overall, we loved our vacation home and are booking it again as soon as possible if that tells you anything!

We have been staying at Surfmaster since it opened in 2007. We always rent through Garden City Realty because they are always helpful and kind. We will continue booking through them for our future vacations.

Lee Center

Always a great place, 4th year returning and I love that the owners included the chairs reserved in the price for June July and August as that put them a step ahead of all the others.

great condo

Taylors

The location and view were perfect. Everything was clean and in order. The lock did not work when we arrived and Maintenace quickly came. About mid week it quit working again. The unit was fine, but we had a lot of construction noise late at night (9:00) from the unit above us. maintenance could not help with that because the unit is privately owned. A little aggravating. But as a whole a very pleasant unit.
Should consider new rugs as the rugs are a trip and fall hazard. They stretch and curl on the corners and in center.
