Welcome to Clocking Out! We have everything you need to maximize beach time and enjoy all of the amenities Surf City has to offer. The perfect mix of comfort and convenience! PET FRIENDLY and full of charm, this 4BR, 2BA home has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the ocean air.

Head up to the front porch where you'll enjoy beautiful sunsets and a cool breeze.
As soon as you open the front door, you'll be greeted by an open concept living space, recently updated kitchen, lots of seating and breathtaking views of the ocean. Enjoy your coffee and the sunrise on the back, covered deck, while you listen to the waves crash and watch the dolphins splash in the gorgeous blue ocean.

Sheltered from the sun with additional seating, charcoal grill, corn hole and tons of space make the lower level the perfect place to relax and play after a perfect beach day. The full size washer/dryer are are available for you to use anytime. And you are welcome to use any of the beach gear like skim boards, boogie boards, discs for golf, beach chairs and fishing equipment.

Heading to the beach? You are less than a minute from dipping your toes in the sand! Public access #2 will take you over the dune and onto a beautiful and wide stretch of pristine beach. Enjoy the awesome Surf City waves, wide beach, shore fishing and shell collecting. The house also has a full sized, covered, outdoor shower to rinse off when your beach day is done.

When you're not at the beach, please enjoy the books, board games and puzzles provided. This location is so close to everything! A public playground is two blocks away.
