Penthouse Palace at Surfmaster, Huge Balcony, Private Hot Tub

You've earned a really first class vacation, and what could be more luxurious than an ocean front penthouse with a private hot tub? If you're a sun worshiper, paradise is here, on an 850 square foot open deck. Sunrise, sunset, and all day sunshine can be enjoyed from this large open well furnished space. Relax in your own private hot tub while viewing the endless horizon.

Inside, the spacious, beautifully furnished rooms provide plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax and enjoy vacation. Every room is extra large with lots of comfortable furniture. The living and dining area is surrounded by sweeping floor to ceiling windows so that you can enjoy the view almost as well indoors as out on the deck. An elaborate combination of window tinting and custom blinds make it easy to control light and heat in the spacious living area.

The kitchen has a ceramic top range and all the appliances and cooking utensils you might need to prepare meals, along with a washer and dryer for laundry. The dining table and breakfast bar provide seating for ten, and there are plenty of dishes and tableware to go around. Broad counter tops have space for extensive food preparation. The dining table has space for everyone, there is a bar and wall mounted flat screen TV in the living room for entertainment.

The master bedroom has a king size bed, its own private balcony, huge closets, and a dressing area separate from the bathroom. There are TVs in all the bedrooms. The second bedroom also has a king size bed, and a sliding door to the balcony and hot tub. The third bedroom has a king size bed. There are two roll away beds to add sleeping arrangements for 2 additional people. All bedrooms have direct access to full bathrooms, with large closets and dressers for plenty of storage. There is, of course, WiFi internet access throughout the condo. There are two parking spaces per unit at Surfmaster.


Garden City is perfect for a family vacation, away from the traffic and crowds, but still a short drive to attractions, and over 100 excellent golf courses. The outstanding Conch Cafe is a short walk. The Garden City Beach pier, restaurants and shops are about a mile south from Surfmaster. The Surfside Beach pier, restaurants, bars and shopping are 1.5 miles north. Just a short drive south is the Murrell's Inlet "Restaurant Row", which boasts the best seafood in South Carolina. Luxury shopping and dining are a few minutes north in the Market Commons area. All the attractions, dining and shopping of Broadway at the Beach, Coastal Grand, and the Myrtle Beach downtown boardwalk are just a bit further north. For a unique cultural experience, Brookgreen Gardens displays one of the world's largest collections of sculpture by American artists in a lush outdoor setting, along with a zoo and butterfly garden. It's just a few minutes south, don't miss it.

When you've earned the first class beach vacation, experience it with penthouse privacy, luxury and space. This is your vacation home.

Surf master Penthouse

Overall, stay was ok. Condo is a little dated. Canvas awning was ripped and crew came in to take it down. There was a hole in the wall under the counter like someone had kicked it in. Water in the hot tub was green and needed more chemicals the first day. Towel bar and some glass mirrors needed repair. Bed coverings and shower curtain needed washing. Place could use a deep clean and some minor renovations. We were out every day golfing and were told by the management company that those things did not impact our stay. Overall, they did not but for the price you don’t expect issues like this. On a positive note, the view was beautiful.

Amazing stay again!

This is the second time staying in this condo. We love the layout of the condo. The 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms are tremendous. The “beach “ closet filled with beach toys is an added bonus. The updates were noticed as well. The only issue we had, were the outlets in the bedrooms. They were loose and whatever we plugged in, would not stay. I will definitely stay here again though, because the view is spectacular!

Awesome Condo!

This was a perfect fit for us. We each had our own bathroom and bedroom!! The hot tub was a fabulous start and end to each day, and not having to share it with anyone else was amazing!! The view is gorgeous and the deck furniture is very comfortable and sturdy!! The toy closet , shown in the picture, has beach chairs, beach toys, wave boards and many toys for children. The washer and dryer provided extra conveniences. This is not the Ritz Carlton, but the views and the layout made it a wonderful vacation for us. There were games, books, movies and puzzles if we needed inside activities also. We did not have any issues with parking. Communication with management was outstanding! We would stay here again, in a heartbeat.

The perfect location!

It is a beautiful condo. Upon entrance appeared clean but the bathrooms, floors around edges, tiles and floors in all areas need extra cleaning. It is a beautiful place to see details not cleaned. Hot tub was the cleanest I have ever seen, just like brand new. Deck appeared washdd off but next to wall stood dirt/debris. There were 7 bath towels (sleeps 8) that were thread bare. For such a luxiourious place I was disappointed. There were 2 cots but only sheets for 1 cot. Please note the mattress on the cot was very comfortable. The living space and overall layout of condo is perfect for the large group that wants to hang together. We had a great time. The kitchen was spotless. Checking in was a challenge because not all emails were received. I saw your copy of them but I still did not receive them. Since i was traveling so far it was hard for us to connect and i appreciate your effort but reality was i did not have code. Luckily someone came to office as we sat their waiting for a return call from you and they checked to see if there was an envelope for me. The envelope was there and all was good. Lesson learned.. bring your own bath towels and wash cloths. We did bring beach towels so that helped til we could buy some. We have been to the beach as a family for last 7 years and this layout fit our family the best. Thank you for providing a beautiful condo in a great location. Lynn Dennis

My family loved Surfmaster Penthouse L!

The views from this property were gorgeous! It was in a great location between Surfside and Garden City. We would definetely stay here again. Some of the things we loved were The living room which was spacious and open to the kitchen. The hot tub on the balcony was awesome and the pool downstairs was pretty big plus we never had to wait for a lounge chair. There were plenty of pillows in the rooms. They did provide bath towels but only 2 per bathroom so may want to bring your own. The washer is very small. Also the refrigerator took a very long time to cool our food and really needs to be replaced. Another con was the air conditioning...in the main room it was great but in the 2 bedrooms away from that area it was very warm. There were fans in the rooms but if you like it very cold you may be disappointed. Overall we loved our stay and would do it again!!

Penthouse L

The views were amazing from the condo and having the private hot tub was very nice, the facility itself was also nice. The condo, was sadly not up to par, it was very dirty, the walls looked as if they have never been cleaned, the popcorn ceiling was falling, the drywall looked like it was touched up in some rooms and crumbling because it wasn’t done properly. I don’t think they ever heard of dusting, the outside light was hanging by wires. Paying $3200 for a week I expected our place to be at least cleaned, being outdated wouldn’t have been a big issue if the cleaning was done! I’d also recommend stripping all the sheets because ours for sure were not cleaned before we came, the inside ac unit leaked and left a huge puddle of water which we didn’t notice until someone fell in the water. The host put nothing back into the place and it obviously shows.

Nice view but needs to be updated

It was a great view, a great deck, and a great hot tub. The location was great and close to many venues. Hot water was luke warm at best and too many bugs (they need a monthly service to spray for huge water bugs). When we arrived there was a beer can on the deck of the master bedroom, dirty underwear in the second bedroom in the dresser, and too much sand on the bar stools. We left a chair outside the room one night and we got a warning ticket. We passed a room every night where a wagon full of beach stuff was left out every night and no one gave them a warning or they would have stopped. Faucets, cabinets, and the sliding door off the master bedroom need to be replaced. The price should not only be about the view but also the weekly maintenance needed to maintain a rental.

Wish the extra rental charges weren’t so expensive!

Property is dated, but we read reviews and expected that. Didn’t expect the leaking faucet in the bathroom. We would go back, but not for the price we payed this Summer. The view and the deck are fantastic!

Nice place

The condo was beautiful and was very clean. The view is amazing and with the exception of someone deciding to set off fireworks every night right outside our condo, the condo was quiet. You could not hear the people above you or next to you. The layout of the condo was perfect for our family and had a lot of comfortable seating for everyone. It’s very spacious and a lot of room for kids to run and play. The bedrooms were also a nice size. The deck was beautiful and plenty of space to gather. And as I said the view is beautiful. They gave us plenty of towels, blankets and pillows and were not in need of any of those things. The front entrance is really spacious and nice to be able to leave the beach stuff right there. The only real complaint I have about this property and it’s small one are the outlets. A lot of them didn’t work or things would not stay plugged in.

Gorgeous Views and Ultimate relaxation

The view as you walk in is breath taking!! It was everything we hoped for and more. Plenty of space, the hot tub a definite bonus!! Kitchen adequately stocked although I did add a few extras ;). It's a bit outdated and could use some updating but it suited us so really not a big deal! We stayed in the master suite and found it to be a bit warmer than the rest of the house but with the two box fans blowing on us, we slept comfortably. My only other minor complaint is there was never enough hot water. There was 6 of us and someone (usually me lol) was always taking a cold shower. We learned to stagger showers and some would shower at night rather than in the morning. Overall, I would recommend this property! The pool area was never very busy nor was the beach. Always able to find seating/space. We had a wonderful & relaxing vacation!!

Breathe taking views!

We had a great vacation at Surfmaster. The grounds of the property are well taken care of, pool, parking garage, elevator..... The condo itself is in good condition. Everything was in good working order and it was just as expected from the pictures. It could use a little tlc & a good deep cleaning but we were very comfortable. The beds & furniture were very comfortable & the balcony is one of a kind with a hot tub & views that can’t be beat! The property manager was quick to respond with any questions we had. We would book this property again.

Mould, roaches, leaks

This property is not at all maintained proper. There were roaches in bedroom, under the hot tub, the air condition leaks non stop. There is mould under the bathroom sink, the garbage disposal does not work, the bedroom balcony door is possible to open. The property manager told us not to use one of the bathrooms from day one. 6 of us had a tough time with 2 bathrooms. They do sent repaint men, but with covid, you do not want people in and out all day long every day. Do not ruin your vacation and money. They do NOT even make an attempt to compensate for the inconveniences.

Stunning views right on the beach

The property's outdoor space was amazing and, unsurprisingly, was where my family and I spent most of our time. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the high top yellow chairs, and the sunsets from the hot tub. The interior of the apartment was pretty good as well. The family and dining areas are extremely large which was perfect for gathering to eat, play games, watch movies, etc. Two of the bedrooms felt more updated, but the third bedroom needed some renovation. Overall, the cleanliness was okay. We noticed some dead bugs scattered across the place, and when we moved the couch to get more space, we noticed no one vacuumed under it for quite some time. Those issues aside, this place really was special and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

Great stay in Garden City

We had a great time at the Surfmaster. The property was very clean and well kept. Yes, the decor may be a bit dated, but the beds were comfy, the view was exceptional, and we had everything we needed. The master bedroom does get some warm air coming through the sliding door, but nothing that can’t be remedied with one of the four fans in the closet. We will definitely be back!
