We have spent the last two summer vacations at this house. We love it!!Great location house is perfect size for a large group. Great views want to stay here again.
Our stay at Above it All was excellent all the way around. The home was everything our family wanted & needed for our week away on vacation. The beach was just steps away, restaurants & shops were just down the street, and Joel was a friendly & responsive host. We’ll definitely be returning!
We had an amazing stay, everything in the house was exactly as pictured. Our host Joel was very friendly and responsive when we had questions and went out of his way to make sure we had a lovely and relaxing stay. Highly recommend!
This was our fourth time staying at Above it All and it was such an incredible week and place to stay! We love this home so much and always make special memories when we stay.

Thank you Beth,
I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us.

We took our daughter and adult grandkids for a week long stay. We had an amazing trip. The beach was a very short walk away. The kitchen had absolutely everything you would need. Everything was very clean and felt like home! We really appreciated EV charging station and the beach chairs that were provided and the elevator was a life saver with our bags and groceries. The host responded very quickly when we needed him. Overall, I couldn’t really find anything wrong with the place. We will definitely be back next year!
Above it All is simply the best on all counts. It is everything you need in a fabulous beach home which is why we return year after year, and reserve a year in advance.
Loved this house. It is beautiful and very well stocked with all the essentials. The elevator is a lifesaver for unloading and loading the car. Great views of the ocean and canal from both of the front decks and it’s a short walk to the beach.
Joel’s place was truly the best rental my family has ever stayed in, especially in Surf City! He was so communicative and the house came fully stocked! Especially the kitchen! It was cool and comfortable for 6 adults and pet friendly which was great! We can’t wait to go again next year!
Exceptional property, with everything you need to have a good time at the beach or at the house. Fully equipped kitchen (we used the waffle maker). Beautiful views from the decks…especially the top deck. Our family had a wonderful time and we all agreed that the house had everything we needed.
We had a great week at Above It All. The house was very clean and we loved the view, the breeze on the high decks, and the well furnished house and kitchen. Meals were easy to prepare and serve with the well equped kitchen and gas grill. The beach is only 2 blocks away. We will definitely come back. It is a great place for older adults with the elevator and great views from the decks.
We are repeat renters at Above it All and we forget it's not our own home so we look after it as if it is ours. Every visit is like 'coming home.' We even know the neighbors now! The owner/host is wonderful and responds to questions or concerns promptly. Highly recommend.
Above It All is still above the rest and the absolute best!
This is our favorite spot in surf city and we look forward to our stay every year. The owner is truly wonderful and seeks to make above it all the best around. The house is equipped with everything you need and no detail has been overlooked. You’ll find comfort, beauty, scenic views, and make memories to last a lifetime. We can’t say enough how much we treasure this home, the owner, and our week together.
Our week's stay at "Above It All" created many memories with our granddaughters. The space was large enough so all of us had an opportunity to have some quiet time. I have always loved sea turtles, and we were fortunate to see a nest hatch and the little turtles scamper to the ocean. It was absolutely amazing and was on the beach very close by. Our host was extremely responsive to any questions we had and made our stay special.
This property was perfect from start to finish. The property manager could not have been more accommodating. Everything was just wonderful. Everyone was comfortable and happy and the views were to die for. I loved it.
