This was the perfect little beach house for our trip. It is so close to the ocean and was so easy for us to just walk over whenever we wanted to go to the beach. The patios were really nice to sit out on too!

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!

Awesome VRBO

This was a fabulous rental! It’s a pet-friendly place and yet the place was spotlessly clean. We loved the outdoor shower with the hot water! The managers checked in and made sure we had everything we needed! We will definitely book again!

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.

What this property lacked in “fancy” it made up for in price and location. 2 blocks from the beach made for easy walking. Would rent again.

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.

Great Location!

If you're looking for an almost beachfront weekend getaway, this is a great place to stay. The beach with a non-crowded public access is just a short walk away. The house is well-equipped and perfect for trip to Topsail. The only hair in the soup are the mattresses which were a bit too soft to our liking - but the owner plans to switch these during the winter break. With new ones in place this is a clear 5 star recommendation.

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.

Nolan has thought of everything you could need and we didn't have to run out for staples like paper towels, TP, soap, detergent etc. he had these and all other household basics plus extras there: fans, baby gates, all the items on the listing were there and worked. We checked to see if the bikes had survived the rental crowd over the summer and he made sure they were in good shape before we arrived. This was so fun! Kitchen was fully stocked for cooking. Also great was all the beach stuff: wagon, umbrellas, boogie boards, cooler-- saved space in our car and must haves at the beach! You don't have to walk far at all to the beach, and it's a nice flat sandy beach with houses, no high rises. Love being in a little neighborhood of houses and you're only a mile from shops and the pier. The sunsets on the back deck over the sound are lovely. It's on a busy road but it's not fast traffic and you can't hear the cars inside. Furniture inside the house is in excellent shape -- beds are solid, mattresses clean and solid/soft, pillows pristine and all the bedding in new condition. Sectional sofa looks/feels new and is super comfy! Streaming/TV is great! Wifi works great and my kids kept up with online college courses while there. Thick fluffy towels all provided, (beach and bath). Outdoor shower in great shape. Hot water heater kept up with our family and we have 4 girls! Felt like a safe, good neighborhood, and Nolan was easy to communicate with and so helpful!

We just finished our stay and overall had a great vacation! I am going to write a very honest and detailed review because I look for those myself when booking houses. If I were rating the house itself I would give it 3 stars but due to the location I am giving it 4.Pros:Super close to beach- 1.5 block walk- the BEST part about this rental! Owners provided great communication prior to our stay and after (we did not complain about anything so they did not need to respond during our stay)AC works well (not the case for many beach rentals)Large covered porch (although wish this was on the ocean side of the house)Rocking chairs on porch Deck isn’t wood- no splintersMaster bed has pillow top and is comfortable (a Queen- no room for a King)Did not hear the main road (we use sound machines)House clean upon arrival Beach toys/floats/boogie boards for our use Cons:No dishwasherNo dog crates or gates so dogs can’t come on decks without using chairs to block Very little counter space or cabinet space to store items we brought No extra sheets anywhere and only 2 extra blanketsFloor spots soft in many places due to water damage Glass door broken making it bang repeatedly with the windNo fenced in yard or pool VERY small house Nowhere to hang wet items without them blowing away No TVs in bedrooms- we resorted to watching tv on our phones in bed which was a bummerHammock is broken- can’t sit in itShower heads very short- had to duck to shower Thanks!

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.
