Conveniently located close to some of the best area attractions, Garden City Beach is directly south of Surfside Beach and ends on a peninsula at the mouth of Murrells Inlet. One of the most renowned attractions in Garden City Beach is the Pier at Garden City. Other points of interest include Marlin Quay Marina and restaurants Sara J's Seafood Restaurant, Gulfstream Cafe, and Original Sam's Corner.
Just south of Garden City Beach is Murrells Inlet, a seaside community considered the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina" and home to some of the nation's best golf courses. Once primarily a fishing village, the town is best known for the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, a half-mile-long boardwalk overlooking a pristine salt marsh, and the many award-winning restaurants along Highway 17 Business in the central business district.
Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve built on four former rice plantations, is located slightly south of the MarshWalk. It features several themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, trails through several nature reserve ecosystems, and the Lowcountry Zoo.
If you're looking for places to shop, The Market Common, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, two Tanger shopping outlets, Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade, and many more shopping facilities are all within an easy drive from Garden City Beach.
Looking for entertainment and attractions? Take in a show at Pirates Voyage, Medieval Times, Alabama Theater, The Carolina Opry, or Legends in Concert.

Had a wonderful stay at Surf Master. Brand new king size mattress in #709! Love the view from the balcony all the way down the coast line. Especially appreciated the complimentary umbrella and chairs set up for us every day on the beach. Would definitely choose this unit for a return visit. Great vacation!

We stayed for 3 days in March 2014 and left a list of needed repairs with the management company that they said would be forwarded to the owners. The two bath sinks and shower head needed to be replaced as well as the one toilet was so loud we rarely used it. The main TV had very poor reception and the remote didn't work. The overall building is showing age as well. Great location.

Reviewer Comments:
The main complaint is that the TV was outdated, i.e., not a flat screen either in the living room nor bedroom which was really small to view. The remote in the main living area did not work. The channels up and down and volume had to be aimed just so and then they still did not work well even though the batteries were replaced. That was very frustrating when we had to use the numbers to advance the channels up and down. We felt it was worn out. There was only one trash bag in the kitchen. After several days, the trash started to smell so needed to be changed more than once. Fortunately, we had another bag to use. Not enough tea spoons or cereal bowls so had to wash most dishes by hand. The two faucets in both bathrooms are hard to work and need to be replaced. The toilet seat in the 1/2 bath was not large enough for an adult. The front door knob needs to be replaced as it was loose moving on the shaft and pinches fingers. Rust was also present on the exterior doors. There was a spot on one of the couches which needed attention. Could not get the elec. can opener to work. We did appreciate the fact that there was a w/d unit and everything else was all right. I hope the critical remarks will help make it a better condo experience for others to enjoy. We also thought the cost of the condo was quite reasonable.

This is the 26th year that we have stayed at Surfmaster. This is the 2nd year that we have stayed in 709. In general the condo is very nice-furniture in good condition, enough items in the kitchen, etc. The master bath looks very nice but-the sink faucets are a problem. They need to be replaced. Very hard to turn to the cold water side; hard to brush teeth with hot water. Other than that (which we could live with) the whole week was great.

I have been staying at the Surfmaster on/off since 1988. This was my first stay in unit 709 and my husband and I really enjoyed it. You can tell that the owner takes pride in making the unit look nice with the sea themed decorations and amenities. I understand rentals can take a beating and the units are older so if you choose to stay here, keep that in mind. Each unit will also be different depending on how the owner cares for it too. I think the Surfmaster after all these years still looks fantastic. We look forward to booking with the Surfmaster/Garden City Realty again in the future.
