Surf City Fun
House was just as advertised! It is a cozy cottage that is clean and stylish! Lots of outdoor space and easy walking to shops and restaurants. Loved the special decoration touches and uncluttered storage spaces! We also were impressed with the fenced in yard which was perfect for our toddler and dogs.
I do have to agree with another review that the mattresses were not comfortable. Maybe too new and hard? Only other suggestion is a few pots with lids and a 9 x 13 Pyrex for those who like to cook in.

Perfect Week
Beautiful property, in a great location. I’ve stayed on Topsail many times and this was the first time being so close to the “center”. So many things to walk to from this house. And plenty of room for everybody when we wanted to be home cooling off. Hosts were super responsive to any needs/questions. Would definitely stay again!

Great Location!
This is the third property we’ve stayed in at Surf City and it’s a wonderfully planned property with the plants and the fencing. Loved the location to restaurants. Only thing that could have made it better was a king sized bed like we are used to at home!
