We had three generations of family on the trip, including celebrating an 80th birthday and a 57th birthday, and everyone had a wonderful time. The location is great and the view is great. This rental is not super fancy, but it's fancy enough and very nice and had everything we needed. The property manager and owner were both very nice. We would definitely rent it again.
House was just as listed, plenty of room. Beds were comfortable and living area was spacious for my party of 8. I loved being right on the beach, it was perfect for spending a week on the beach, we could sit on the porch and enjoy the waves, or walk right out to the beach to enjoy the sand and water. Host communicated as needed and even checked in us when they heard there was a house fire a couple blocks down. This home will be saved to my favorites for our next trip.
Host was extremely friendly, and communicative. We felt right home, and welcomed. This property had everything our family needed from spices, to shampoo, to space for everyone.
My family is from the area, and we vacation frequently in Surf City and on Topsail Island, during the summer and on Thanksgiving or Christmas. This place was perfect for us, and the location is ideal. Property owners were attentive and responsive, and the free donuts were a wonderful surprise! Highly recommend!
Everything was outstanding. Includes all communications, condition of the property, location right on the beach, and prompt friendly response from the property manager. I highly recommend this property.
Beautiful time spent with family at this home. We had all the amenities for our stay and the host was very hospitable. Enjoyed the home and the proximity to the ocean.
Highly recommend! This was the perfect retreat for our ‘mama beach weekend’. It was clean, had all the amenities we needed and literally just a few steps to the beach. It was walking distance to shops and bars which made it super convenient. The host was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing weekend.
Lovely ocean front property! We had 8 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. The porches were amazing to enjoy a coffee while watching the waves. Amenities included were amazing and they even gave us a free dozen of doughnuts to pick up!!!
We had a great time staying at this property. Everything was very clean, neat, and new. The best part had to be the views! You can’t beat an oceanfront house. We would definitely stay here again.
Lovely, clean home, RIGHT on the beach. Beautiful views and easy access to town! Two kids (3, 4 1/2) had the best time playing the games at the house and collecting shells on the beach.
Our family loves the beach and love being together!
Why they chose this property
Our family LOVES the beach so we were thrilled when we bought our first property in Surf City. When our neighbors went to sell this property, adjacent to ours, we knew it would be the perfect place for large family gatherings so we bought it! We love that we can now offer TWO sides of this amazing place to accommodate up to 20 people!
What makes this property unique
We own Side B too Vrbo#1114068 so you can rent both sides for your family!
