Surf Master by the Sea 111, Owners

We would highly recommend GCR

We have owned our Surf Master property since 1990. We have seen a lot of changes throughout the years with realtors and property managers. Garden City has been our realtor since they acquired it in 2001. Drew McElveen, who has been our property manager for the past two years, and his staff, are a breath of fresh air. They are all very diligent about keeping owners informed of what is going on with our property and in the Garden City area. Questions are answered in a timely fashion and they try their best to accommodate owner needs. We would highly recommend them to be your property manager.

Very quiet time of year to visit! Was super convenient to be able to walk right out onto the beach, with the option of using the pool. A previous review from about a year ago mention roaches, but we had no such problem. Would like to stay here in the future.

My daughter and I truly enjoyed our stay the the Beach House 206. Not only was the condo clean and well-maintained, it was the perfect location to relax and enjoy Spring Break. Garden City Realty was great! Simple, easy and convenient check in and check out. Looking forward to staying again next year!

the best of both - convenient beach access and inlet fishing. The house is "beachy" and we like that! Spacious and plenty of room for our family to spread out. The kitchen is stocked but could use a few more sharp knives. Thank you for a memorable week.

Had a good time. Weather was a little chilly, but warmed up in the evenings.

We have vacationed in the Myrtle Beach area for over 20 years, but this week was outstanding. This was our first stay at Surf Master but definitely won’t be our last. Our unit truly exceeded expectations and the owner had so many extras - extra beach chairs, toys, little fishing nets, and an incredible kitchen! Despite being a large resort, it didn’t feel cramped at the pool or beach. We loved every minute!

This was our first stay at this location. The upstairs area was great and very roomy. The kitchen area had about anything you could ask for in the way of utensils, pots and pans, etc.. There wasn’t a griddle, which I always carry, for frying bacon and bologna. The bedrooms were plenty big and the beds were comfortable. The two bathrooms were very spacious and contained very nice shower units. There is no bathtub. The porches were great, complete with rocking chairs. The only two negatives I found , 1) There isn’t an enclosed shower (with hot water) downstairs. There was a spigot and cold shower to rinse off after coming from the beach. 2) There are 2 condos, of about 20 units ,on either side of the house which made the beach a little tight, especially this year with the pandemic going on. Other than that a very nice house.

The condominium is very comfortable and attractive. We enjoyed the ocean front view very much. The balcony was well-furnished and we enjoyed spending time there. The kitchen is well-appointed with everything we needed for our stay. We have always enjoyed good service from Garden City Realty and will continue to use them for our vacation rentals. We would definitely select this condominium for a future stay in Garden City.

Floral Villa 2 is a nice 3 bedroom condo if you want convenient access to the beach and a nice pool in your back yard. Comfortable for our group of nine. Older condo but still well-kept and clean.

We stayed for three months. The fire alarm going off at least 5 to 6 times during our stay was annoying. No fires reported. Syste4m needed to be upgraded which was done while we were there. When the high school spring baseball and softball teams came in before Easter, the parents and students were not going by the rules of the resort, including after hours of noise on the deck and firecrackers after midnight hours on the beach. I would recommend not staying there whenthe high school breakers come to Myrtle Beach.

As always Garden City Realty were great. Surf Master is an awesome property with everything we needed. Our condo was very clean,well furnished and the kitchen was well stocked. The view from the living room and balcony is amazing. We will definitely be back.

Jean never said, no!!

Jean was very helpful in every phase of the sale. Anything I asked her to do she never said "no." She made a stressful situation very easy on me. I know she went the extra mile for me. Thanks Jean!

This is the second time we have stayed in this home and the many problems experienced the first time have all been corrected. Additionally, the owner has replaced all the carpeting with some kind of artificial wood flooring which looks and feels very nice, but is tough enough for the beach, a real improvement. There were some minor repair issues which I passed on to the management which did not affect the quality of our stay.

Plusses.
Large house, many bedrooms, absolutely fabulous eating gathering much enjoyed as our 3 generation family of 14 celebrated out 50th anniversary. Great beach, not very crowded. Convenient location.

Minuses. low water pressure in baths, large second refrigerator would have been handy, but we worked around that with coolers. Range does not vent to outside. We grilled almost every meal, so this was not a factor for us.

Conclusion: highly recommended for a group that likes to eat together and spend a lot of time by the ocean and the pool and the large porch.
