Amazing Place to Stay
We loved the location. Can relax on the front porch and watch the ocean. Less than a minute walk across the street and you are on the beach.

Great place to vacation
The house is in a great location being so close to the beach and several restaurants in Surf City and met our needs very nicely for a weekend family getaway! The game room downstairs was perfect for both the kids and adults as it unfortunately rained a lot on the weekend we were there. The house was very comfy stay and we enjoyed our more than expected time inside more due to the comfortable furnishings. Would definitely stay again!

Visiting our USMC son.
We wanted to visit our son who is stationed at Camp Lejeune and we wanted to make a vacation out of it with our dogs. This little place met all of our expectations. It was a very enjoyable stay.

It's gonna be hard to top this Christmas!
Me, a friend and my 2 dogs stayed at OUR HAPPY PLACE. And it was definitely our happy place. The house is very well kept, the beds are SUPER comfortable, there is everything you need there. My dogs have never been on vacation and they loved every minute of it. The fenced in yard was perfect size to let them run around on their own for a little while. We were super close to take them for their first ever walk(s) on the beach. I would love to make this a new christmas tradition but it is already booked for next year! :( The view is great and the porch makes it easy to see everything!!! Clint was great and very easy to communicate with via email leading up to the trip and when I had a small issue with check in.

Happy New Year!
This was our second stay here for New Year's and we had an awesome time once again. The house is perfectly located between the bars and the beach! The downstairs rec room is great for hanging out.
