Great Relaxing Vacation
My fiancé and I really enjoyed this property with our dog! You could see the ocean from the deck and hear it at night. It was very peaceful, and the location was super close to the grocery store to pick up supplies when needed! It was an easy 2 second walk across the street to the beach which was nice! Only thing we didn’t know about was the lack of sheets, we did not notice in the description that we had to bring some. There was also no toilet paper or paper towels so make sure to bring some with you! Otherwise we very much enjoyed our stay! We will be booking again.

It was nicer than we expected
It was nicer than we expected and the pictures don’t do the location justice. Close to downtown area and only less than 10 minutes from the south sides nicer dining. The beds are not comfortable though and the master bedroom is NOT a queen butter rather a full size bad.

Fun in the sun
“Fun in the sun” wasn’t an exaggeration. We had a blast!!! We hope to come back sooner rather than later! The dogs loved it and the walk across the street to the beach was practically just as good as a place right on the beach. You could see the water the from the couch and deck which was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us

Loved Fun-N-The Sun perfect beach cottage, clean, well equipped and very accessible to the beach.
Had a first and rare experience to Surf City with hurricane Florence approaching and forecast to make landfall near SC at the beginning of our trip. I called to alter the reservation to a later date but the reality co did not practice rescheduling. So we proceeded to pack and travel 468 miles for our two week stay. A long story short, we got a message for a mandatory evacuation on our second day of our stay. Travel ins Was included in our contrac but as of this post there has been no settlement. Will use HomeAway again.

Great home crappy realty company
Great home crappy realty company. First off I will say there’s no way 7 people could stay in this place. There’s certainly not enough electric outlets for 7. I would say comfortably it would sleep/live 4 Max. The accommodations were great overall. The realty company was not. Among other things, after less than 24 hours of arrival (we were only staying three nights), I got an email that a maintenance person would be coming by to change the air filter sometime during the week. We had just arrived. I called and indicated my displeasure, reinforcing that they easily could’ve change the air filter the day before we arrivedThe DVD player was broken and upon calling I was told that they would need to wait until the homeowner return their phone call to decide whether not to replace the DVD player with a Blu-ray player because that’s all they had. Note that the DVD player was ancient so clearly needed an upgrade. Among other things on our second day they’re open print we were only staying three nights), I got an email that a maintenance person would be coming by to change the air filter sometime during the week. We had just arrived less than 24 hours before. DVD player was broken and upon calling I was told that they would need to wait until the homeowner returned her phone call to decide whether not to replace the DVD player with a Blu-ray player because that’s all they had. Note that the DVD player was agent so clearly needed an upgrade. After multiple hours of waiting and calling several times and maintenance guy came to install. He opened the box and seemed dumbfounded when there wasn’t an HDMI cable there. “Those things don’t come with HDMI cables so I told him.”
