Reviewer Comments:
First, I would likely say that working with Garden City Rental is the best possible experience for a guest. They do everything possible to make the stay as wonderful as it can be. I will always rent through GCR. Unit 910 at Surfmaster was fairly clean and conveniently located. Many items were available to the guests, including paper products, cleaning supplies, kitchen items, extra linens and towels, etc. The view was amazing and the general property was fabulous. However, there was a musty or mildew type smell that was very strong in the unit. Clearly, the owner was aware and had placed air purifiers/humidifiers inside the main rooms. The filters in these machines also smelled horribly. I am sure the property owners and managers have done all they can to make this better, but it is so pervasive that guests need to spend as much time as possible away from indoors...and that beach is the perfect place. Also, the beds weren't particularly comfortable...but the living room furniture was worse...especially the couch that makes a bed...very uncomfortable for sitting. I have stayed in many units at Surfmaster, as I visit a couple times a year. I will not likely stay in unit 910 until the source of that smell is addressed and there are updates for the furniture.
