Sandcastle Sunrise is a nice, big house in a spectacular location – right on a quiet beach, but less than a mile from bustling downtown Surf City, with its restaurants, shopping, activities, pier, etc. We liked the big, well-equipped decks and big windows. But it seems that a house this pricey ought to be better supplied. It would be nice to have enough knives and forks for the nine people this house is supposed to sleep. It would be nice to have more than two wine glasses. A few basic spices like cinnamon could fit in the large cabinets. And it would be nice to have a few simple beach chairs. The sad thing is that if the owner spent about half of one day’s rent it could make this house truly five-star. BTW, management company did a good job of getting repairman out quickly when A/C didn’t work the first day – and again the second day after it failed again. The company also did a quick job resolving a big trash emergency.

Six adult family members stayed for a week and we absolutely LOVED this property. We were pleased with everything about it. The beds were comfortable there was adequate seating in the living area and dining table for all of us. Great amenities and all the basic necessities we could need. The view from the living area was absolutely fabulous and we spent quite a lot of time sitting on the deck visiting and watching the beautiful ocean only a few steps away. Will go back again!

Gorgeous views!

Last week might be one of our favorite NC beach vacations yet:) This house was perfect for our family with plenty of space. We loved the open floor plan on the top level with windows in every directions and comfortable seating for all. The top floor deck was our favorite- with tall seating that offered uninterupted views of the ocean even for short people like me! The doggie deck gate was awesome for our two pups to have some safe freedom while we enjoyed coffee or wine. This property has wild cactus in the green areas, so be careful if you bring a dog. We'd never experienced this at the beach before and it can be sneaky so watch your own toes and your pups'!
