Annual summer trip!!

We had a wonderful week at this property! The location was spectacular, close enough to walk into town but far enough from the pier to escape the crowds. The house had more than enough bedding, shower and beach towels which is great if your are flying in. The host was very nice and quick to reply to any messages.

Property was spacious and accommodated our group of 8 easily. We brought our 2 Jack Russell puppies and they had a blast. We had one minor repair that was required and Jim, the host was super responsive and took care of it immediately. The beach access was convenient. Neighbors were really nice and helpful.

Great location and stay

We needed to find a property last minute and thankfully this home was available. The location was perfect with access to the beach directly across the street and all of the shops and restaurants of Surf City just minutes away. Even with the great location, the street / neighborhood was very quiet. We loved our evenings on the deck listening to the ocean waves.

It was the perfect house and location for our family gathering with our grown kids and grandchildren ages 8 mos-5 years. They had everything we needed from a great kitchen to games for the kids and adults and beach chairs, toys and body boards. Beach access was easy and right across the street. Owner was awesome to communicate with and answered all questions with kindness and promptly.

Amazing Stay

We had an amazing stay! The beach house was clean, wellstocked, and in a perfect location. Our teens loved being able to walk to the pier, grab ice cream, and visit nearby eateries without needing a ride. They walked to Soundside Park for fishing and kayaking and loved the independence of walking everywhere. The private beach access that was steps away was incredibly convenient, and we appreciated the included beach chairs and toys. When it rained, the arcade games and board games kept both the kids and adults entertained for some great family time. Highly recommend it and we can’t wait to come back!

Taking a family vacation with a few friends and this home was perfect for us! Having bedrooms on 3 separate levels made it quite nice if anyone needed privacy and the home was lovely! The beach access was just across the street and beach accessories were provided by the home owner. The amenities were also superb and I didn’t need to bring additional items for the week. I can’t say enough good things about this home and would stay there again!

First Surf City Adventure

This is a nice rental. The location one row from the ocean is great. And the proximity to town (1/2 mile) is perfect. Sunrise from the front deck and even nicer on the beach, and sunsets from the back deck. The owner is very easy to work with and was quickly responsive to a couple “questions” we had. Thank you James for the use of your home.

Great vacation

Our family of adult children, grandkids and dogs had a great time at SEArenity Now. Jim was an excellent host. Responded quickly to the few questions we had. The house was clean and well stocked. Beds were made when we arrived and all linens and towels were provided along with beach chairs and toys. The location was excellent. We could see the Surf City bridge from the kitchen window and the private beach access was directly across the street. Kitchen was well stocked and the frig had a working ice machine (a first for us in Surf city). We hope to be back soon!
