About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

C-Shore Retreat - Great Views, Steps to the sand!

Come enjoy a relaxing vacation in this brand new home that is right on the beach! With AMAZING views and a walkway to the beach you'll have your toes in the sand in no time. This well thought-out floor plan has plenty of space for you to spread out or enjoy with another family or friends!

Once over the bridge you are less than a mile away! This puts you extremely close to the pier, restaurants, and all the activities of town - but still far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet!

Surf City is an amazing little town with easy access to other parts of the coast. You will have a great time here with EASY access to the beach and plenty of other options to explore if you want to mix things up!
-----

The home is on stilts, so underneath there is parking, an outdoor shower, eating area, and some beach toys! Once you come onto the first floor you will have a room to the right and one down the hall. The beachside room has its own deck and a king bed! The room down the hall is perfect for kids, with a queen bed and twin over full bunk. On this floor you will also find a full bathroom and in-unit laundry.

Coming up to the second floor, you come into a large space where you will probably spend most of your time. This floor is your living, dining, and kitchen area and there is a VIEW from everywhere! With plenty of seating and a large deck on the ocean side, this will be where you visit, play games, and enjoy a cocktail at sunset! The kitchen is fully loaded with all kinds of extras for you foodies!

The top floor is the main suite and is it SWEET! It's a large room with a king size bed, walk in closet, private bathroom, and a great view of the ocean. Great place for you to sneak away from the crowd and relax!
---

Guests will have access to the entire home (except two closets that are reserved for owner's storage). The car port, storage closets, outdoor shower, and every room in the house are yours to use so you can get the best out of your stay!

There is some additional parking off to the side of the units.
The beach walkway is shared with the other units, but open at all times!

Pet Fee:
The pet fee covers up to 2 pets! Please make sure your reservation is updated properly. If you are traveling with more than 2 pets, please reach out - sometimes we can accommodate an additional pet on a case-by-case basis for an additional fee. Thanks!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Loved this spot! Very clean, organized, and had everything we could have wanted when it came to cooking, which is a big deal to our family. Listing was as expected, very close to the beach with access via a walkway to the stairs to the beach at the back of the property. The provided beach equipment came in clutch...the outdoor shower too.Enjoyed that the 2 sleeping levels were separated by the middle main level, if you don't mind stairs(we don't), it is great. Would absolutely rent here again

We loved our stay at the C-Shore Retreat. Being steps away from the beach is initially what sold us on booking, but actually walking in, we were wowed by the view and the beauty of this home. House was clean, beds were super comfortable and kitchen was stocked well.As dog owners we appreciated this rental being dog friendly. We didn’t do too much shopping nearby, but do pick up local cod and oysters from Surf City Crab which was a hit! 10/10 would recommend to others.And if you’re lucky, keep an eye out for dolphins in the morning!

We visited when it was unseasonably cold and no one checked if the heat was on. The owner was very helpful assisting us, but the unit in the primary bedroom was broken. We only used the first and second floors. The place is well equipped. FYI, two king beds are fairly firm. We appreciated the desk and chair for remote work, a rarity in many rentals. One thing to note, they are building other homes blocking much of the view in the pictures. However, the location is great and the house is very close to the beach, good access and location.
