This unit is very nice. The owner provides everything you need for your stay. The only disappointment was the rental of the chairs and umbrella on the beach that was provided in the past. We were expecting it this year also. We didn't budget an extra $380 for the two weeks. We will probably not be renting this unit again for this reason.

Great location but condo needs some work. Air conditioner worked very well and good water pressure Plugs don’t stay in the cutlets making it difficult to charge devices. Dishwasher - difficult to operate. Absence of bedroom ceiling fan. Since it was just the two of us, it worked out fine.

In all it was a great vacation, room 709 could really use some updating, the furniture is super wore out and I would not recommend anyone sleep on the pull out bed it is completely destroyed. Also the faucets in both bathrooms leak and the toilets are old and worn out and need replaced also with a little bit of work it would be an awesome room. We were told that the current owner is trying to sell so I hope who ever buys it updates it and refreshes the paint and decor. Added bonus was umbrellas and chairs were included in the room.

Wonderful vacation until I received an email telling me you have charged $200 to my charge card for carpet stains. This happened just after 5:00 so I couldn't speak to guest services. I spoke to houskeeping who informed me that my wife and I are responsibe for a stain on the carpet plus crayon stains. Not only did we not spill anything we are in our 70's and long past playing with crayons. It was my wife and I only. Hopefully its justa misunderstanding but I'll find out tomorrow when I can speak to someone. I wasnt texted any photos that I can dispute, youe unfairly charged my account. A vacation ending on this note sucks.

We started going oceanfront in 2021. This is our 4th oceanfront stay. 2 in Garden City and 3 in NMB (twice last year). Each time we stayed somewhere it seemed to be better than the last. But Surfmaster 709 blew them all away! We won’t even look anywhere else going forward. One big problem with High Rise towers is the elevators. Surfmaster had a half day of problems the whole week. And I believe it can be attributed to the yearly inspection. I noticed their yearly inspection certificate was for the same dates as our stay. So let’s say 10 for location. 9 for building amenities, 9 for parking and the room gets an 11 because, besides having everything we needed or wanted the balcony was huge and it had a King size bed. Basically, we got the WHOLE PACKAGE with Surfmaster 709. Not the cheapest or most expensive but without a doubt the best value we’ve had in 4 years. And while not technically related to the hotel, the chair and umbrella guy was also the best we’ve experienced. With over 80 setups a day, he was out there early and everything in place before 9am. He was constantly visible and would check in with you multiple times a day. We are customers for life! P.S. easiest check in/out we’ve ever experienced. Modern, virtual, no key experience. Who doesn’t hate keeping track of a key while on the beach and using the key multiple times daily.

The unit was wonderful. There were some issues (DVD player & washing machine). However Dan, the maintenance man, took care of the DVD & had the washing machine repairman come & look @ it. It was determined there was a lot wrong w/the machine & needed repairs or replacement. Jackie in the Rental Office took care of the washing machine issue (the owner decided to replace the machine but it would not be delivered for a wk). And HOW did she do that!?! Well, the owner allowed us to use his personal washing machine, Jackie purchased a laundry basket for us so we could carry our laundry to his unit & Dan provided us w/a rolling cart so I wouldn't have to carry the basket (I have severe arthritis in both knees). SO! When Garden City Realty says they take care of their customers, THEY REALLY DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the unit we stayed in was a wonderful unit & we WILL return to it again in the future!

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful time at the Surf Master. Unit 709 was comfortable and cozy for the two of us. The kitchen is well equipped and the appliances all work very well. My only criticism would be that the toilet in the owners bathroom needs to be repaired or replaced. It wasn't working well and was unsteady. We had little interaction with property management. However, they did have to come in to address some maintenance twice which was unexpected and a bit awkward as they give you no notice. in one case, they knocked and rang the bell but, I was not able to answer the door. They proceeded to try gaining entry without us allowing access or having prior knowledge of their schedule which felt like an invasion of privacy and our personal spaceAgain, we had a great time. The unit is comfortable, the view amazing, the location is ideal and we always felt safe and secure while on site.

Several things needed updating. The mattress is well past it's use. The center sagged so bad we found ourselves on top of each other all night. The towel rack in the half bath literally fell off the wall when I tried to hang a hand towel. The entire condo smelled of mold or mildew - I kept candles burning the entire time we were there. I also sprayed the carpets and furniture with fabreeze to try and ease the smell. We were told our beach umbrella and chairs were included with the condo, there is also a note on the refrig stating this. However, our first day on the beach we were told they were not. I enjoyed my last stay in this condo to be much better. I will not rent this one again.
