We had the best time in Surf City for our two littles’ first vacation. The house had every “extra” we would need for the beach but didn’t have to pack cause it was already there! Host was incredible with communication and even checked to make sure we didn’t need anything because my kids kept ringing the doorbell.

Loved our trip and stay!

Really enjoyed the location, deck and home. Came across some roofing nails on the ground by the trash cans (recent work) but nothing a magnet sweeper can’t take care of. Interior was great. Full size bed was a bit too small for my wife and I, but we really enjoyed our time!

We have notified the roofing company of the nails and will have this issue fixed. We are also looking at changing the bed to a queen during the winter months. Thank you!

Perfect family vacation

My family of 5 had a perfect summer family vacation. It was a very short walk to the beach. The beds were very comfortable. My kids enjoyed the movies and toys included. The owner responded immediately with the couple of questions I had. Highly recommend. We hope to return here in the future!

Perfect getaway!

We were searching last minute for a house that would accommodate our family of 4 and our dogs. Sarah’s place did not disappoint. The house is sparkling clean and literally has everything you need for your stay. The beach is a super short walk and the community is so pleasant. We loved sitting in the porch listening to the ocean and you can see the ocean between the houses. Sarah was prompt with communication and answered all of my questions. We hope to stay again!

Great vacation with our Goldens!

We loved our stay at this cute little beach house! Its a short walk to the beach and we could go back and forth easily with our two Golden Retrievers! The covered front deck and sunny side deck were great for them as well. It has a gate that latches at the top of the stairs to keep them or kids from going down! And you can actually see the ocean through the houses :) Sarah, the owner was great and always responded to my questions almost immediately! We would definitely come back!

Quiet get away

The property is clean, nicely decorated and perfect for kids and adults alike. The porch was one of our favorite places to hang out. Loved having coffee on the porch and listening to the ocean. They provided games for the kids, a wagon, beach chairs and umbrella and tons of beach towels. The beach is so quiet and very family friendly. It is one block to the beach so we just walked there. This place is a gem and we hope to be back. Hosts are AMAZING. We noticed that the beach umbrella had been left broken and when we told them they drove over with a new sunshade that day! Lovely home and lovely people.

Wonderful family stay

We didnt know how perfect the place would be, but it had everything for a family stay. Movies and toys for children and games. A great kitchen. The outside shower worked great for a 3rd shower. The outside deck was covered and big. And even though it is 2nd street from beach you can still see the ocean some and deffinietly hear it. The place is clean and very roomy and comfortable for family lounging or if you need an air bed for a surprise family member. They even have an extra matress if needed in the bunk room. The neighborhood was quiet. The beach is tourist friendly too with plenty of beach access and even gazebos to sit on. We could not have been more pleased. The owners were easy to get in touch with and there was plenty of linen and towels and paper products and the friendly extras in case you forgot salt and pepper etc. We would deffinitely stay there again!!

Hosts were wonderful and very responsive! Every question I had about the property or the area was answered quickly and they even let us check in a few hours early which was so nice. The house was exactly as pictured and described and was a quick minute walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place near beach access

Our stay was wonderful. The house was as described in the listing. The walk to the beach was very short! We had looked on the map and were pleasantly surprised by how short the walk was. We had expected to walk a bit farther. The wagon that’s provided to carry beach equipment to/ from the beach made the trip even easier! We loved our stay and would return!

More than expected!

This place was just what we needed for the getaway my colleagues and I were looking for! It’s even closer to the beach than expected, a short walk from one of the few bars on topsail and close to the bridge/access to stores, etc. There were great accommodations inside with everything we needed (coffee pot, cooking utensils, extra beds etc) and not to mention, it felt very clean and inviting. The hosts were communicative after a bad storm that knocked out the wifi which I appreciated. I would definitely rent this location again!
