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.

We had a very good experience. We debated for a long time about even going on vacation due to Covid 19 but decided we would. The condo was very nice. The closeness to the beach was fantastic. Everywhere we went people were wearing masks and socially distancing. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will be staying again.

We chose Surfmaster because a family member was staying there. Booking was easy; staff, including Jackie and maintenance man Scott very helpful ad professional. Condo itself was pretty shabby - furniture, carpet, linens. Cleanliness adequate, I guess, but not confidence-inspiring. I would recommend Surfmaster but not condo 205.

The room was spacious but to many remotes for living room TV and there needs to be instructions for which one works what. TV in master bedroom worked have the time because batteries are going out in remote and the TV needs to be on the wall can see it when lying in bed if you don't use all the pillows to prop yourself up. The room just needs some TLC/up graded.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit is on the second floor and has good views of the beach. The Unit is in need of multiple updates. Master bedroom furniture is outdated and in terrible condition (splintered tops). Lots of damaged/chipped plates & cups in the kitchen. Carpet in main room was dirty/worn and in need of replacing. A relative stayed in the same unit one year ago and stated that nothing had changed since that time! The cleaning crew did a good job. Beware, you are directly above the hot tub, which can get very loud, with some "salty" language/behavior ( not unit owners fault of course). We have stayed in other units in Surfmaster, which were in much better overall condition.

This unit has a fabulous view and location is great. However the unit is in need of serious cleaning, carpets, refrigerator, floors etc. (plugged in phone charger in bedroom and the carpet behind the nightstands were filthy)! Unit needs updating, bedroom furniture surfaces are terribly warped and no finish, cabinets need refinishing or replacing, bathtubs were extremely slow draining (standing water while showering), water from tubs had black materials floating. The kitchen was poorly equipped for cooking and plates, glasses and cups were old and missing. Front bedroom was extremely dark (poor lighting. Living room television was hard to operate, had to use two remotes to change channels and volume.

We visit the Garden City beach area at least twice a year and it’s always a great time. This trip was no different. The room was very nice, the only small complaint we had is the shower head is very low pressure, and the Wi-Fi was broke in our unit. I made two calls to maintenance but it never got fixed. They did give us the login access to a neighboring unit so we could use their Wi-Fi. Beyond that, our stay was great!

Overall, the time spent at the beach was great, and the realty company is very responsive to any issues; however, the condition of the property leaves a lot to be desired. Notably, the queen bed is worn out and sags in the middle. In addition, the online pictures do not represent the actual condition of the bedroom furniture (nightstands and dresser) or the bar stools. All have a lot of wear. I would not return to this unit.

So the condo itself was really outdated and kinda dark for being on the beach also the decorations were not fun beach ones at all also the elevators suck and we were worried about them breaking everytime we were in them another issue we had was the carts for loading and unloading the car the night before we checked out there was non insight and it’s because people were putting them in their room until morning another issue was that you were not allowed music by the pool which I can understand if it was loud offensive music but we were listening to family friendly and everyone at the pool all agreed and were ok with it they definitely need to post that when people are looking to rent because we would not have rented had we know the security who enforced it was also wishy washy the one day we had it on all day he sat and talked to us and then like an hour later he yelled at us to turn it off and this had happened multiple times I will not be returning it is an ok facility but just too many things like that keep me from returning
