Outstanding location and view
The facility is ON the beach and a very easy walk to anything you might want (dining out, treats, shopping). The shared pool is a great option if the water is too rough. Plenty of sleeping options.

Paradise View
Half Turn Duplex is located in the center of the Surf City tourist district - close to retail, the pier, and shopping. The house has an incredible view of the Atlantic and easy access to the beach. The house was perfect for our large family.

Family fun with lots of amenities!
Beach house is located within walking distance to many stores, restaurants and the pier! This oceanfront beach house meets all family needs. The extra water hoses located on the balconies were extra handy for easy wash off prior to entering home. The pool was big enough for multiple family fun! Definitely appreciated the installed gates with latches on the opposite side when exiting, a huge safety feature for families with children. The elevator made transporting groceries or family members needs additional assistance extremely helpful! Highly recommend. Thanks for the fun memories made at this location!
Horrible property management. Use someone local, not vacasa!
Do not use vacasa!
