Fabulous Atlantic Beach Experience

A laid back, family-friendly area with terrific beaches and nearby groceries. A sea turtle focused island, an opportunities to charter boats for ocean or inland cruising. A great time was had by all.

Perfect beach vacation

We were so pleased with our beach vacation. Everything about the house, the location and the beach were perfect. Beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. There were two decks we enjoyed sitting on that overlooked the ocean. From the kitchen, dining room and living room we could see the ocean waves. Every morning we woke up to the sound and view of the ocean from our bedroom. Communication with the owners was great. It truly was a perfect vacation we will always remember.

Superb location on beach & clean!

We spent a fabulous week here & will definitely be back. The location is perfect, a few minutes drive to the bridge for shopping or down to the Surf City restaurants. The produce stand is a short walk if you need fresh fruits, veggies or bread. The beach is literally STEPS away from the deck & feels almost private. The house & linens were CLEAN. The mattresses & pillows were surprisingly comfy. The closets were stocked w/extra pillows & blankets. The house felt quite cozy. The kitchen is small, but equipped. We cooked daily meals for our family of 5 easily. Having a propane grill was a huge plus! There were boogie boards, chairs & thankfully an umbrella (ours broke from the crazy wind) to borrow. The full size washer & dryer was nice. The main floor bedroom/bath was perfect for my relatives with mobility issues. There’s one flight of stairs to enter the home, but once inside they were ok. There’s two steps down the back walkway to the beach. The owners are very responsive. Overall, I highly recommend staying HERE!

Needs improvement

This house overall is a gem. It’s on the water, quiet and spacious; perfect for relaxation. However, the property changed hands at the end of last summer and the immaculate condition/upkeep has gone by the wayside. This past week was full of issues. Here is a detailed but non-exhaustive list: -Queen bedroom overlooking the water - upon arrival, found dead roach, stained spare blanket, cheese ball dust on bed/mattress pad and a treasure trove of candy wrappers, gold fish, cheese puffs and empty snack bags under the bed. The track to slider door black with grime. -Upstairs bathroom tub not draining; ankle deep in water when showering. -Bedroom facing road had stained pillow and chair -Roach in kitchen; multiple roaches on outside deck rail. They were active at night so it made sitting out uncomfortable -litter in grassy area surrounding walkway (pieces of kids toys and trash) -kitchen light fixture dirty -black mold surrounding ceiling vents in kitchen and living room -infant onesie and goldfish crackers in and behind couch -Empty soda cans behind bedside table in King bedroom -lower bathroom had odor of cat urine and a shower curtain with mold at the bottom -Dust on baseboards and window sills; black grime on all slider door tracks -Inside of refrigerator not wiped down -Upon arrival, dirty dishes in dishwasher sitting in dirty water because unit would not drain -broken garbage disposal -upon departure, water leak discovered under sink These items by themselves are not a big deal. However, cumulatively, it put a damper on things. The owners made initial contact to say the keypad for entry was broken and we needed keys. In addition, the king comforter was in the washer and needed to be put in the dryer. When we messaged about the dirty bedroom, it was not initially acknowledged. It took a 2nd (verbally direct) msg before Christina apologized. A repairman was sent for the dishwasher. We came in off the beach at 4pm (his scheduled arrival time) and he showed up after 5pm. In the end, the issue was not fixed. The expectation here was a basic level of cleanliness and not using my annual vacation time to assist with broken items. The owners were communicative, but no offer was made to “right” the situation; disappointing as is the wasted $195 cleaning fee. If they can work out the issues, this is a super place. Until then, buyer beware as the current conditions do not match the increased rates for next year.

The house was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the balconies. The beach was incredible. We wanted to find a property that was as close as possible to the water. Even with a bad back and hip access was good. I had several extremely helpful communications with our hosts. We would love to rent this property again in the future.

Great location. Residential area, so no hassle and bustle, which is exactly what we wanted. Amenities like grocery and restaurants were just a few miles away. Close enough, but far enough. House was clean and stocked. Access to the beautiful beach was easy. Foot wash and shower provided were great to rinse off. Couldn't have asked for more.

Bliss on the Beach

Very tastefully decorated but yet child friendly. Check-In was easy. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and nicely labeled. The propane tank was empty when we arrived. Very Quiet and peaceful. The beach front was great and so close to the house. Loved having the shower to clean off the sand. Having the beach chairs and sand toys were great. We took advantage of them not only with the sand but lots of crabbing. The boogie boards were broken but the kids loved taking them in the water anyhow. We did accidentally break a wine glass. We would highly recommend your place.
