About this property
Sassy Seahorse | Pet Friendly + Near Area Fun!
This Sassy Seahorse cottage is a wonderful budget-friendly option for your family and canine companion. On a quiet side street just a short drive south of downtown Surf City’s family-friendly businesses, this updated cottage offers space to hang out inside in the comfortable living area or out on the covered porch. Enjoy listening to the ocean waves as they crash on the beach in hearing distance of this charming bungalow. The nearby restricted beach access is a short walk away in sight of the house. Surf City’s Family Park on the sound side complete with a walking pier over the marsh, picnic area, basketball court, and children’s playground is just a block away.
