Surf city

Loved the house. It was so beautiful. Loved the big kitchen and table. It’s perfect for a big family. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all. And the kids loved the little playground at the beach. Surf city has a place in our hearts now. Can’t wait to visit again.

Family Ocean Trip

This was a big trip for our family. It was 13 of us, and the first time to the ocean for many. We loved the house! It was clean, well stocked, and the location was perfect. The host was quick to help with issues that came up. We hope to come back!

Perfect Beach Rental

We highly recommend this beach house for the perfect beach getaway. We had four families from different states spend the week together. This house has everything you would need, and I mean everything! Plenty of kitchen items, lots of toys to borrow, just a well-kept place. Everything was nice and clean. The music at the bar next door was not an issue. My niece stayed in the bunkhouse with her two babies and said the music didn’t bother them at all. It was like having a tv on low. Plenty of parking and about a 3 min walk to the beach with kids in tow. The hosts are amazing and quickly responded when we had questions. This is a definite saved place for us in the future. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Great location with thoughtful accommodations

Perfect location, less than 40 steps from the beach. The bunk bed is great for parents coming with their kids and with the nearby nightlife, the adults have a convenient location to party & people watch. I would highly recommend this property.

Great vacation

Property was very clean and was very well stocked. Great location with a very short walk to beach access. Lots of extras including beach chairs, bikes, games, beach toys, etc. Short drive to lots of restaurants. We had a great time.

Reunion

Took the family to see my 2 sons that are stationed at Camp Lejeune. Beach access, and playground were close to the house. Live music was not bad. Plenty of space. The bunk house was a blessing, with an autistic child. Would love to come back again.

Surf City Christmas 2022

Nothing but praises about our much needed vacation and Christmas family time together. The house was gorgeous and exactly what you see online. The bunkhouse was a beautiful surprise; nicer in person. (One of my personal favorites). There is more than plenty of space. Already planning our next visit and we just left this morning. 😂😂

Family Beach Trip

Location was ideal for our family, children’s park across the street and short walk to the beach. House was spacious with plenty of room for the kids to play as we prepared our meals. The outside shower was a game changer for the kids coming off the beach. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed to prepare any meal, and we’re a family that likes to cook and eat. We did order out pizza for delivery our first day there though. Wi-fi was good through out the property. We were a little concerned about the music from the Trailer Bar, but actually it was never a problem. We enjoyed the music Friday evening. The bunk house space was perfect for our family size. The house is very kid friendly. We had an incredible week! We will definitely rent this property again.

Birthday Celebration/Family Vacation

We enjoyed staying here so much. It was a very clean property with more than what we needed stocked in the kitchen. Perfect location to the Beach/shopping areas. We really enjoyed the live music from the trailer bar and it was not loud at night in the house. Would highly recommend &would love to book again in the future
