We had a wonderful time staying at the SurfMaster 803 Condo. Spectacular views of the ocean and the condo was top notch in furnishings and was beautiful. The beds were even comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again.

We had a great time. The property was a great value when compared to the cost of others. It was very clean. The cleaning staff was still there when we checked in and though I offered a monetary tip, she refused. I appreciate her integrity. The view is wonderful from the deck and the porch. The furniture was quite adequate and in good condition. Upon our arrival inspection, we saw several nails protruding on the decking steps and we reported that to Garden City Realty. It was repaired immediately. Overall, we all were very satisfied and will use Garden City Realty again. For the negatives - this property needs updated, especially the electric. You cannot run the toaster, and microwave while the refrigerator is running. All of this is on a single 20amp circuit when the refrigerator itself should be on a single circuit. Though the air conditioning appears new, we were advised to not turn it below 72 or it would freeze up. That is a sign of something not being right and 72 is a bit warm for sleeping for many of us. Also, the bedrooms always seemed a bit damp as the a/c was not cycling enough to pull out the moisture. There are two zones for the thermostats and they act in opposition to each other as they are in the same space. The a/c deck needs some sound insulation for the adjoiniong bedrooms. The bathroom condition was somwhat less thanwhat we expected such as the caulking, age of fixture etc.The beds need new mattresses as our was a series of mattress pads. Still, those annoyances did not dampen our stay. I recommend Garden City Realty and the Shangri-la.

Property was just as described, clean and well maintained. Beautiful view and beach and not far to go to reach the beach.

Pittsburgh

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. Perfect location to the beach and other venues around the area. The keyless entry and no-contact arrival was great. The Garden City pier is about 3/4 mile down the road with great entertainment.
The only improvement that we would suggest is to have more skillets available in the condo (a 1 serving and 2 serving sized skillet is not enough for a rental for 8 people). We cook all meals, so we had to get creative and meals took longer to prepare without larger skillets.
Also—for awareness before booking: there are 51 stairs to the unit, right to the door. There is also elevator access and the complex has a dolly or 2 for luggage. If you use the elevator, you still have to descend 5-6 stairs to get to the unit’s door. That did not lend itself to easy entry because we had to unload everything from the dolly to get down those stairs.
Overall, we would rent this unit again if we ever came back to Garden City Beach.

The master bathroom only had a small stand up shower I would of preferred the master bathroom to have had a full tub and shower.

Surf Master 204 is newly redone. Very nice finishes. Shower in master bath is great. It is handicap accessible. There was no place to hang clothes in the master bedroom but there is drawers and a closet with shelves. We enjoyed our stay there but would prefer a higher floor to get better views.

Condo was clean but kitchen needed more utensils and cooking equipment

It was very nice....beautiful view! The only complaint we have is the master bathroom...the toilet is entirely to close to the shower wall. It was not easy to use the toilet. The other concern was when the elevator went down in the north tower it was not announced until after my husband called. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that the elevator would be down for a short period. We wish the pool was heated...and our beach chair got would be nice if there was a security gate at the beach entrance. Overall it was a great stay with minor bumps!!
