Great Location

What we liked the best about this home is the privacy it affords everyone. There are decks off the bedrooms and kitchen too. Very spacious living area on a quiet part of the island.

Wonderful stay

Well accommodated home that fit 14 of us easily. There is a guest closet outside that had plenty of chairs, boards and even a wagon to carry things to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pots/pans.

Best Vacation Ever

Went here to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. We had a ton of people come and go. Everyone kept mentioning how beautiful the view was and the ease of access to the beach itself. 10/10, would recommend.

2025 - 18th year family beach vacation.

So many things we liked about the house! To name a few- close walk to the beach, kitchen well stocked, beds comfortable, elevator handy for older adults and luggage trips. Loved how the owner supplied paper products and soap supplies, and trash were an added bonus. Oh, so nice to have corn hole game and added chairs . Would come back!

Great home for our family

We have a large family ranging from 6 to 86 years old and some members with disabilities. The elevator really came in handy and the house layout worked out great for our family. The beach access is one house down to the right which made coming and going to the beach very convenient.

Gorgeous home!

We enjoyed staying in a clean, well-stocked home. Linens, towels, soaps, and dishwashing detergent are all included. (We had a large group and also brought additional garbage bags and our own paper towels). The decor is lovely and beach access was convenient.

It was paradise.

The location is amazing. We had 12 adults and kids and couldn’t have asked for a better time. The beach is easily accessible and all enjoyed it immensely. The house was perfect for us. Large kitchen and areas to mingle while also having separate spots to get away and chill. The beds were super comfortable. They have some beach chairs, toys, and a wagon to get it to the beach. Town was a lot of fun and witching walking distance. ( 1 1/2 mile). We would definitely return to Surf City and would rent the house again. Oh and the elevator was a blessing.
