    We have sent an e-mail twice to Garden City Realty requesting a settlement for a stay @ Surf Master by the Sea that we had to cancel due to no elevator service. We requested in our e-mail that they consider an alternative settlement action. They have not responded to ** at all. We had reservations at Surf Master. The hurricane made it impossible to get to the complex the first 2 days. The third day we were able to drive into the complex which at that time we were told we could get in our rental with no access to beach and no elevators to our 8th floor rental. We are both 69 years of age, my wife has COPD and I get injections in both knees for arthritis & had a previous heart attack, so it would be impossible for ** to access our 8th floor condo without elevators. We were told that we would not get any refund if we canceled however, at that time we had no choice but to cancel because of health reasons - we felt the risk would be too great. We have rented from Surf Master 10 or 11 times since 2014 and feel that we should have been given a chance to change our rental to another date instead of losing our rental fee. We were contacted about 2 1/2 hours after we had started back home and notified that you all were refunding us $336.00 and that would be all that could be done at that time. We don't feel this was a fair settlement considering they were not able to supply us with one important access to your condos - the elevators. We have totally enjoyed our visits to Garden City and Surf Master over the years and would hate to have to find another complex or state to spend our vacations. Due to our health issues and you all not being able to fulfill part of the complex's amenities - the elevators- we feel we should have been handled a little more fairly. I would be happy with some loss on this but not $1,100.00 because we can't walk eight flights of stair.
