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.

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!

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.

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.

The entire rental process was smooth & easy- from renting to departure. I love the Marlin Quay condos; they are so comfortable , nicely decorated, and always CLEAN!!!
The Garden Realty staff is top notch, excited to see us at check in, wanting the very best experience for us, always interested in how are stay was. I highly recommend Garden City for a vacation spot with Garden City Realty to help make it happen!

This condo is stunning and it an amazing location. Clean, had everything we needed, and the personnel at Garden City Reality were always pleasant to speak with. We only had one issue with our front door not want to close well and within the day it was fixed. Also, the dryer does take awhile to dry even if it is a small load. We had 6 people staying in the condo, but did not feel crowded. We have already booked for next year.

Riverview

This was our second time staying in Against The Wind A, and I absolutely love this house. In fact, we had a conversation about if we win the lottery, we are buying this house. Haha! It's got lots of room, a great open kitchen and a gorgeous view being right on the sand. There was a place for everyone to hang out comfortably and being right next to the pier, we had live music every night. It made for a great vacation!

Beach Lovers was the perfect beach house for our family. Great location. We have stayed at a few houses with private pools and this pool setting was exceptional! Surrounded by concrete means no dirt or mud to deal with The pool was clean and was serviced 3 times during our stay. We did have a couple of problems with the dishwasher and freezer and they were repaired within a few hours. House was clean and met all of our needs. Will be back next year!

Surf master was a very clean and well kept rental. The decor was inviting and comfortable. We would stay here again!

This vacation rental was by far one of the best experiences we have had. Home is perfectly situated on the Inlet with the most beautiful sunsets. Clean and in great condition. Will look forward to renting this home again in the future!

Lexington

I’ve been staying at Waters Edge for decades. This condo is sparsely stocked but we had what we needed for a nice stay. Some improvements would be a blanket or two. The sofa bed only had a sheet and the bedroom only had a bedspread. Also a real coffee table or ottoman would go a long way towards comfort and convenience. A table of some sort (even a cheap small one) would be nice on the deck to set food and drinks on. The TV in the living room had issues and is very old. We layed in the bed to catch a few football games in the bedroom. Bring salt and pepper as there are literally only dishes and the kitchen (but they were nice). Overall a good stay but bring your own blankets and salt and pepper (and a cheap side table for the balcony if you want to
be able to set food or drinks on something.

My wife and I spent a wonderful week with our daughter and her family. All six of us were more than pleased with Surfmaster 112. It was roomy with comfortable furnishing, including the beds. The view was fabulous from the moment you opened the front door. We felt as though we were not beachfront but on the beach! The unit had everything we needed and was good condition, except for some minor updates could have made it perfect. The unit was clean and the balcony was delightful. Customer service was spot on and the photos you see online are exactly what we experienced in the unit. Surfside Beach is a unique area with a calmer beach experience but with everything within a short drive - grocery stores, restaurants, mini golf and more. The beach alone was all we really needed and did not disappoint. This is the seventh time we have rented from Garden City Realty and they are #1 in Customer Service. Housekeeping is perfect and readily available. Already planning a return visit.
