Awesome beachfront house

Great house with lots of space inside and out. The beach never seemed to be crowded so we had plenty of space to throw a baseball, play bocce, etc. The walk to Surf City down the beach is about 2 miles and there are some great shops right near the pier (highly recommend Surf City Coffee). Would definitely stay there again!

The home was clean upon our arrival, but the carpets are in desperate need of professional cleaning.The kitchen needs to be updated. Pots and pans were not useable, nor were the cutting boards. You would need silicone utensils so that non-stick pans do not get destroyed. Using non-stick pans with many cuts and scratches leaches into the food and is unsafe. The cutting boards were badly cut and stained. I would recommend that the staff stay at the house and try to use the kitchen to understand what a family would experience when renting this house. We also had no hot water on the 4th floor, no AC on the 4th floor, broken outdoor shower, and an elevator that is hanging on for dear life. Part of a light fixture in a bedroom came crashing down and broke when we tried to turn the fan on. Someone had not tightened the screws that hold up the glass enclosure. This house would benefit by being updated. Also the blue rocking chair on the second level is unsafe to use because of rust. The good news is that the location and beach are excellent. Very quiet considering it was the week before July 4th. Bring your own pots and pans and anything else you'll need to cook with. We bought a 12" skillet and a non-stick pan plus two cutting boards to survive. We also bought wine glasses and left them behind because there were none in the kitchen.

Clamalot 2025

Beach house is very nice. Kitchen amenities were plentiful for the 12 of us. With the house being 4 levels the air-conditioning struggled to keep up. We didnt use the oven very often or keep doors open long. The sliding doors on both levels hard to open due to poor lower sliding mechanism. Lower sliding door had no working lock....a stick was needed for securing door. The elevator was a great benefit for a house this size. There should be instructions on how to open the door to enter the elevator. This was frustrating. The fan remote batteries were dead...fan was either off or on full blast. For a house this size the parking was VERY LIMITED. We had room for 5 midsize cars tightly packed in. Public parking was a long distance away. Morning sunrise was amazing...almost every morning we saw schools of dolphins in front of us! Beachfront bliss!

Overview of house

The layout of the house was very nice. The parking was somewhat challenging, but we made it work. I was disappointed with the outside furniture. The picnic tables were so warped, they could not be used and several of the chairs were broken on the second deck.

Wonderful SeaShore Palace!

What a great home for a large family to enjoy! We stayed here for our family's annual Surf City get away, and this property did not disappoint. The availability of an elevator for elderly guests was spectacular, and also certainly helped with the luggage going in and out of the home. This home has two beautiful decks and a lovely kitchen / living room / dining room to spend time together, enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. The property management company does a great job with linens and cleaning - it was very tidy and comfortable! A+!!
