Great place plus great location!

This VRBO has everything you need for your stay. Super clean, comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen essentials, games, chairs, convenient location. Beach access #12 is right across the quiet street. Less than a mile walk down the street to shops and the bridge. Jim is quick to respond if you need anything. Would highly recommend this place!

Quick Trip

Property was perfect for 3 travelers. Communication and hospitality from the host made this a quick and easy stay. We even had a smores kit for a little treat. We stayed here so we could cook our own meals and it had everything we needed to grill and make a nice breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome visit

We came to visit with our daughter whom lives in the area. We brought our youngest daughter and two friends who have never been to the area. It was the perfect space we needed with a very short walk to the beach and nice to walk to surf city and activities. Will definitely stay again.

Great for families

Jim was very accommodating and made it a point to have things out for the kids. The place was very clean, very close to two beach accesses and walkable to restaurants. The house was very well stocked and had everything we needed. We only had to pack our clothes. Jim has thought of every detail and we would definitely come back!

Clean home, close to the beach

My family and I had a wonderful stay on N. Shore Drive. The apartment was very spacious for 3 adults and 2 dogs. Only steps from the beach (access is literally across the street). Very clean and quiet. Jim made himself very available and was very friendly when we saw him on the property multiple times throughout our stay doing maintenance outside.

The host was amazing!! He made you feel how much he cared about people who stayed from the poems of instructions for your stay, the littlest details of accommodations, cleanliness and just the overall welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in. Every detail was thoughtfully curated. Thank you for an amazing stay..

2 Minutes From Beach + Fully Stocked

My friends and I had a fabulous stay at Jim & Edna's home! There was plenty of space for us to spread out and we enjoyed having access to beach essentials like chairs & a wagon. There's also an inflatable pool in the front yard that we enjoyed relaxing in when not at the beach (public access is just across the street). I'll definitely be staying here next time I visit!

A beach condo packed with fun!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at the 4 Sea Monkeys. Our host was fantastic, and he left out many beach toys for our kids and water balloons too. This condo offers all the beach amenities needed, is very close to public beach access, and is within walking distance of everything. I highly recommend staying here!! We will be coming back next summer!

This is the place to stay! Look no further!!! Book Now!

This is such a great place to book! Seriously! Quit wasting time looking around and just book it! This property sits across the street and 3 houses away from access point #13! It was so nice to be able to just walk to the beach or back home super fast. The unit is super spacious and fully stocked more than any place I’ve ever stayed at (and I travel A LOT)! Jim has excellent communication and strives to make your trip relaxing, comfortable, and best he possibly can! My 3 nephews from Ohio and myself throughly enjoyed staying here and will most certainly be back!

This is definitely a hidden jewel! Pictures don’t do this place justice! I would definitely request this property again. Super clean! Jim is Awesome!! Family of four with twins. There were toys and a little table set for the kids. Felt so comfortable, homey. Couple steps from the beach, everything you need at your fingertips!
