Five stars for cleanliness and being stocked - No stars for busy road

The house was nice, clean and well stocked with linens, towels, cleaning supplies, paper towels and toilet paper. Grill was rusted and bikes were in bad shape - not safe to ride. Even though the house was a short walk to the beach it was on a very busy - loud road. Host was quick to respond.

Cute house! So close to the beach!

We had a great trip! The only thing to consider is if you have anyone staying or visiting that may be physically handicapped (and we did), be prepared to carry them up and down the staircase to get inside. There are no ramps or anything like that. to get inside and out.

Family Beach Vacation

House was in a great area and close to many restaurants and shops. Property was very clean and was so awesome that sheets and towels were included. The beach access was close to property too which made it an easy walk even with chairs and beach bag. We will definitely rent this house again 😁😎

Wonderful!

We had a great time! The location was perfect and close to the beach as well as a short drive to shopping and food. The large front porch was perfect for the rain as well as under the house where my kids could still play without getting wet. Would recommend and hope to return in the future!

Wonderful beach house with close beach access!!

This beach house was a great house for our family vacation with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. But best of all, it was less than a 5 min walk to the beach. It was so nice to just go up to the beach for a couple hours and then come home for lunch or to just chill and then head back for some later beach time. Surf City was a cute town with great shops, local fish markets, and plenty to do and eat. We will definitely be back!!

The rental had all the extras you don’t want to have to pack or buy for a short stay. Both decks were lovely to relax on in the afternoon/evening. Great location with a short, easy walk to the beach. Would definitely book again.

Awesome

The hosts are great. They were responsive and so welcoming. My dog was so happy and it was just 2 blocks... short blocks from the beach. Ive done a lot of rentals and this was awesome. First of all they provide linen which meant i did not have to pack all that in my car for the 5 hour drive from virginia. Everything was lovely. Great lovation, walking distance from all the shops in surf city But i cant say enough about the hosts. They made sure i enjoyed every minute od my trip

Clean, but needs work

House was clean, well kept, and has a convenient location. However, the flooring was uneven, showed spaces between seams and subfloor was damaged in the hall bathroom. New Decking outside was uneven and sagging. Renter stated bicycles were available for use, but both bikes had flat front tires, and one was missing a securing wheel nut, and was unrideable.

Great location and communication

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and tidy with plenty of amenities. Beach access was just a block away, and the outdoor shower was definitely helpful to rinse off sand from our feet and chairs. The front and rear porches were also great and gave us options to get out of the sun but still enjoy the outdoors.

Wonderful beach house

We had a great stay! The house was clean and had all that we needed. The walk to the beach was even shorter than I anticipated. The rear deck was perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze and the kids loved playing in the shade under the house.

Things to think about

The quaint summer cottage home met our needs and proximity to everything was great. We were surprised, however to find the outside furniture and cushions to be dirty and broken. We never used the grill because it was filthy and we tried to repair the bikes but didn’t have a few nuts and bolts needed. Many of the light bulbs were burned out and the floors throughout the house are buckling as well as the deck. The first comments are cosmetic but the floor issue would be a concern ! A little extra TLC would make this a dynamite rental Thank you

Perfect place for a family

Very clean cottage in a great location close to the beach. While it is not “fancy” it does check all the boxes for us- clean, comfortable, and special touches such as nightlights, plenty of fluffy towels, great porches with seating and views, and lots of extra items available for use at the beach. I would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Nolan Chandler

Host profile image
My wife, Holly, and I are excited to have you stay with us in Surf City and enjoy all that this beach city has to offer. We have lived in North Carolina for two years now and love what it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property has the perfect charm and character to make you feel at home. It is close to the beach and close to many fun attractions and shops located in Surf City, NC.

What makes this property unique

There is a hammock on the ground level beneath the back deck for lounging and covered in shade to make it a relaxing environment. The front deck provides a view of the intracoastal waterway, and the back deck provides a view of the beach and a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. There is nothing more calming than hearing the ocean waves break on shore.
