Beautiful Beachfront House

The is a beautiful ocean front home in a perfect location. We enjoyed the great ocean views from both decks. We stayed here last year and they have made several renovations including updating the master bath with a gorgeous tile shower and freestanding tub. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating for our large family in the living room. We love the Surf City, NC area and will definitely be renting this home again in the future.

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!

Roomy house, great location

3 of 4 bedrooms are oceanfront, spacious common area layout and seating for family or group, mere steps to ocean, gates on deck to close for dog's safety, outside shower, walk to shops and restaurants in nice little beach town. All good!

Great location, house needs major repairs

Two stars for positive aspects of the house- the location on the beach, the deck and overall lay out and space of the house. With that being said, I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. I would only come back if majors repairs were made to the house. We cut our vacation a day short because we were done dealing with all the issues. The house leaked from the roof and walls the entire time we were there. It smelled of mold and mildew. This clearly was not a new issue as drywall tape was peeling and water stains were through out the house. The downstairs entry had visible mold all over the ceiling. The breaker tripped for the bedrooms Our entire trip. Vacasa was very accommodating and responsive but the house was beyond any repair they could do while we were there. The dishwasher leaked, there were ants in the garbage can area, the coffee pot was broken. The outside and insides of the kitchen cabinets were filthy. This house has the potential to be an amazing place with significant renovations.

Great vacation home

Loved the location of this home. Within walking distance to a few shops and restaurants. The street was quiet and secluded. The house itself was a great gathering space and had plenty of room to spread out. The lower deck was great for getting out of the sun if needed and the top deck had plenty of furniture for all to kick back and enjoy the sun. The cactus grass was one of the only set backs I encountered while walking the dog. The cactus were small and not noticeable until it was too late. All in all, I would rent this property again, as the small issue could be worked around.

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'!
