We stayed at Surf master 307 the week after Labor Day Weekend. It is a beautiful property with all of the amenities you'd expect. Great location right on the ocean front. The condo was clean and everything worked fine except the rear right burner on the stove. Loved the fact that they supplied beach chairs and toys for the kids although they should advertise that so we wouldn't have to pack all of it for the trip down. We wouldn't have had to bring a thing for the beach. Furniture was in good shape and the flat screen televisions were great. Great place to stay for the family.

The oceanfront building is located about midway between Garden City and Surfside Piers. Great location. The unit itself is beautiful and spacious. Recent renos look great. Bathrooms still need a facelift but overall very nice. New kitchen appliances, but old cupboards. Unit has an oceanfront view and the north side of the unit is all windowed so you have a great view when you sit on the couch. Mirrors on the south wall reflect north view so it's a nice touch. Patio is huge with ample seating and hot tub. Beds were comfy and bedrooms were tastefully decorated and each had its own bathroom. Master has a safe. Unit was clean. Property manager was very quick to respond to our issue with the furnace (had some cold weather). Conch Café is just a few hundred feet north of the building-good place to eat lunch or dinner. My only complaints are that we were not told that this unit is on the 9th floor and we arrived after the office closed so we had to find it - thought a Penthouse would be top floor. Also, the sign in the condo says the hot tub is cleaned every Tues, Thurs and upon departure but it wasn't. We had to request that service which we did on a Monday and it was cleaned on the Friday (the day before we left). Other than that, it was a great stay. I liked that there was an office on site which was very convenient especially when leaving, easy to drop keys off.

Very much enjoyed our stay. The unit was nicely updated and had everything we needed. The only negative was the condition of the mattresses in all 3 beds. They definitely need to be updated.

This was our second stay in the Surfmaster building. We really like the ease of getting to the beach for our son who uses a wheelchair. This unit is mostly remodeled, although they need to remove the carpet in the bedrooms, which were very dirty. Carpet in a beach place is never a good idea. A couple of maintenance things - one of the rattan chairs is broken and about to collapse. And the thermostat did not accurately reflect the temperature in the unit, causing the A/C to run constantly. It would say it was 76° when I’m sure it was more like 66°. We had to constantly adjust it. Other than that, the unit was very nice and we enjoyed our time there.

Wonderful time. Loved the location and the family atmosphere. We really needed
A bigger location but with the pull out couch we were very comfortable. Two children slept on couch. We will definitely go back.

This was a great find for our family!! The home was extremely clean and the decor was very nice. The price of the unit and convenience of the beach were absolutely amazing. The week we went, there just happened to be 2 other units filled out of 8, so it was like we had the entire complex to ourselves. It was only a short walk to the pier and entertainment on Atlantic and the public beach access was just at the end of Cypress...maybe a 1-2 minute walk. I can't not speak highly enough about our stay at this quaint home. Parking is a little tight for large SUV's, however, this is easily solved by backing in. It was the perfect size for our family of 5. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and cookware. The porch was a nice addition. Nothing like enjoying an incoming beach storm on the porch and a morning cup of coffee. The only down side about the porch is that it had a motion light in the corner that kept coming on while we were sitting out there at night. Not a big deal, just a slight irritant. We were also able to have a golf cart, which was a nice entity at a complex. The following week, we stayed at another property with extended family and rented from Dunes Realty. I must say, Garden City Realty has Dunes beat by far in the housekeeping department. I was such a relief to walk into a rental unit that looked and felt clean. What a difference that detail alone makes.
Applause to the housekeeping department at Garden City Realty!! We will definitely keep this GEM in our back pocket for future visits.

We have stayed in the Surfside/Garden City area many times over the past 20 years, always in a beachfront condo. This was one of the most pleasant visits ever. The condo was nicely furnished--not fancy, but comfortable. A very nice mattress made all the difference! Nothing to complain about. Clean, comfortable, quiet. We will be back to stay in this condo again.

This house is by far the best my family has ever stayed in. We have been vacationing in the Surfside/Garden City area for 6 years now, and recently started looking for rentals on the inlet. We hit the jackpot with this house. Tons of living space, dining, and entertainment spaces!! Has everything you could possibly need and more! There isn't a thing about this house that I would change. The homeowners have truly outdone themselves. We will be booking this home again, for sure!

This condo is beautiful, clean, and very well equipped. We always rent a 1-bedroom,and were excited that this particular unit had the bedroom oceanfront instead of in the back part of the unit. However, being on the 1st floor, which is one level above the pool/hot tub area, turned out to be a bit inconvenient. People standing by the hot tub could see directly onto our balcony and into the room. We just felt that we lacked privacy being on the first floor. I would still recommend this condo if this is something that wouldn't bother you.
