Perfect house with so many unexpected extras

The house was perfect! It was everything I was expecting and more!!! We do a beach vacation every year, and this year we lucked out on the most perfect house! They had so many little things that made the trip so much easier than ever before! Extra beach towels, prestocked spices for cooking, pods for laundry and dishwasher and so much more! We had 1 question and messaged the owner and they were SOOO quick to respond! We will definitely be coming back again!!!

Awesome Beach house!

We had a great stay at the property, which was across the street from the beach with easy private access. The house was clean and comfortable with beds, towels and accommodations you would need. Communication with the owner was easy and responsive for questions we had. We would definitely stay again

Joyful fun Stay

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.

Great week at the beach

We loved our stay, despite some lousy weather. Being so close to the beach meant we could sneak down whenever the sun peaked out. Only (very) minor issue was a bit of a chemical smell in the entry floor. The smell did not affect any main floor. Great communication from owner and no logistical issues at all!

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.

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.

Great family get away

Had a wonderful stay in Surf City! Mr. Jim and his accommodations were great as was all of his communication to make sure we were set for our stay. This is a fantastic location and all of my family had a great time. Everything you could need is within walking distance. There was plenty of space and no one felt on top of each other. The house was clean and had everything you could possibly need. Will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Family/Friends vacation

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 trip

This was the perfect house for A busy family to reconnect! Very well appointed, we didn't want for anything the whole week. Any issues we had were addressed immediately and our host couldn't have been any better! The only thing that could have made this house any better would be if it was oceanfront and if I had brought a knee brace..... all those steps were rough by the end of the week! Overall, wonderful home and wonderful stay!

Great Location

The home fit our needs and allowed enough privacy between 3 different families with common spaces to come together. Appreciated the proximity to the beach. There a few things that were minor annoyances. The laundry wasn't working and a repair person couldn't come until 4 days into our stay. This coupled with only 2 dishtowels made doing dishes and keeping the kitchen clean a challenge. We would have appreciated a bit more toilet paper, paper towels, and regular towels in the home. Private access to the beach was a breeze and the location relative to the bridge made getting off island less painful than most.

Incredible location and Great Place

My family and I traveled from out of town to stay with friends from high school. I could not be more pleased with the location of the property. The house was in great condition with comfortable furniture. We had more than enough room for everyone. It was well worth the expense. The owners were extremely responsive. The check in process was easy and the house was clean. We were able to cook meals at home on great cookware. I highly recommend this property.

Fab family vaca

This beach house was not only steps from the beach, it was beautifully decorated and appointed! Jim was very easy to contact and updated us with any new details we needed for our trip. The whole family loved the area and our granddaughter loved the beach and beach toys 😍The only thing that was unexpected was a filthy grill. We cleaned the whole thing, grill grates and all and used it that night without any other issues. We look forward to coming back again next year!

Great location and nicely remodeled

We loved the proximity to the private beach access: directly across the street! As well as a quick 1/2 mile walk to restaurants (our favorite is Shaka Taco). The home seems to be newly remodeled, we loved the look and feel of the fully stocked kitchen , and updated tile in the en-suite bathrooms. The queen beds in the two bedrooms on the second floor got rave reviews for comfort, but the king on the second floor and the queen in the loft area were a bit too soft for our liking. Other highlights include sunset views on the back deck and the selection of fun games. All in all a great vacation home in a great little beach town.
