This is my favorite condo complex on the South Strand but unfortunately, the units are not being kept up to par for the rental prices. My husband and I come down every year for the Month of April and it is becoming very difficult to find a nice clean up to date unit to enjoy. Much of the furniture is... More

This was our 2nd year at Surfmaster & was just as good as 08/2010. Friendly staff that was quick to react to a couple of issues that we brought to their attention. Overall, unit 807, is about a 8 out of 10. Afterall, Surfmaster is over 20 years old and some deterioration is to be expected. Well furnished and comfortable.... More

Surfmaster is still an excellent condo rental site well maintained, great location, good parking, etc. We stayed in 910, which was well functioning - good AC, water, etc. No issues checking in, pool was clean, lifeguards cool, people friendly. In our unit the big downsides were a hard bed in the master and no cable in the second bedroom. The... More

1). Lack of internet is HUGE issue - need to resolve limited or no connectivity. 2). Upon arrival, AC was set at 80 degrees! No instructions on how to adjust. Repairman told me there's an override button, but after he left, never could locate it - very frustrating. 3). Refrigerator is in need of repair. Ice machine had to be... More

My family recently stayed in 214. We were initially very impressed by the condo and location of the buiding. After unpacking we found that only about 3 of our electrical outlets worked, but maintenance fixed them right away. The worst part is that the air conditioning did not work well at all. Two days in a row it was over... More

Stayed in Unit111. Don't waste your money. Unit was uncomfortably hot and the smell of mold in kithchen cabinets made them unusable. Hot tub is located right off the balcony and was occupied by pre-teen children all week. No one else could have used it because they were in there 6 hours at a time. At one point they had... More

The spacious balcony with private hot tub is all we needed! Hottub had great jets, built in radio. Each morning I would recline on the balcony overlooking the ocean waves with coffee and a book. Each evening I enjoyed a glass of wine in the hottub with ocean breezes blowing overhead. The large Mater bath vanity was great with long... More

Great location but unit was in poor condition & dirty. Unit 403, would not based on the price. Peeling & cracked paint, rusty fridge door, broken towel bar in bathroom. Common areas in poor condition & dirty. Do not rent 403 for list price or you too will be sad. More

I traveled with my husband, mother, stepfather, sister and brother-in-law to Garden City/Myrtle Beach, SC last week. We stayed for seven nights in Penthouse C at Surfmaster condos. When we first arrived and made our way to the office to check in and get our keys we were all a bit concerned. There was trash in the halls (outer facing... More
