Host is very nice and friendly. The home was not very clean. There was long black dog hair in almost every room when we arrived and floors were also dirty, couldn’t walk around barefoot. Overall, home is very close to beach access, great location.

Hi Jordan, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear the floors didn't meet your expectations and that you found dog hair upon arrival. I wish you had let me know during your stay, as I would have gladly sent my cleaning team over right away to address anything that may have been missed. Guest comfort is very important to us, and we always want the opportunity to make things right. I hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay!

Kitchen is upstairs with the master bedroom. Lot of stairs to climb for my parents and their age. Other than that everything was perfect and just what we needed! Many things are accessible by walking! Didn’t need to take a cooler on the beach because the house was so close!

Great location, fun stay

The house is in a great location within walking distance of the beach and numerous restaurants/shops. I stayed by myself, but would be perfect for a family/group trip. Hosts were helpful and communicative.

Bachelor trip

My wedding party and I stayed here for my bachelor trip and the house and location were perfect! 30 second walk to the beach and located right by the roundabout at the bridge which is walking distance to 90% of what surf city has to offer!

The location was fantastic, especially for access to beach, shops and restaurants. Walk to just about everything in Surf City! Very spacious and the owners were very responsive to some basic questions. Linen ordering was easy.

Great location beach house

This house is super close to both the beach and a number of local shops and restaurants (good bagel shops, donuts, coffee, dinner) and activities like the local aquarium. You won't need a car to explore a lot, which is great. The house is clean, well cared for and spacious for a family (or 2). Would stay again

We enjoyed several fall days at this comfortable property. Appreciated being able to bring our dogs. The house had plenty of room. We enjoyed sunsets on the front porch.

Perfect beach getaway spot

We loved our time staying here & only wish we’d had more time to spend there. The communication with the owner was fast & helpful. The home was easy to access, as described in the listing, clean & comfortable. Getting to the beach was easy - we loved the quick walk to the pier. Definitely give Topsail Steamer a try if you like seafood (it’s a 1 min walk!).

Sweet 16!

We rented this house to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We had the best time!! This house was very clean and perfect location. Having 4 young adults ranging from 16-20 years old, it was great that they could safely walk to almost anything. We are ready to book our next stay here.

Great location, but......

Best location we have had on our visits to Surf City. Close to restaurants and stores and most importantly, beach access. Plenty of room for spreading out during stay. House had lots maintenance issues which owner said they would fix on off season but some should have been fixed already in my opinion.

So sorry you found maintenance issues. We have officially closed for a bit and are working on everything that our back to back busy season did not allow for. What you had shared with me should not have impacted your stay and if they did I wish I knew because I would have sent my handy man to fix anything needed. I am glad you were still able to enjoy the space and the surrounding area!

Cute house - great communication

The pics were accurate, and the owner sent a helpful pdf doc with more detail. The owners were very responsive to questions. The mattresses were a bit firmer than we're used to but in good condition. My only recommendation would be to bring extra blankets - there was only 1 in the house. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the location was walking distance to several restaurants.
