Best House by the Beach!

Our stay here was so amazing. Our check in process was great and we were able to check in a lot earlier than expected to spend the day by the beach. There were tons of additional perks included that we got to enjoy like all the beach gear and a wagon. Jim even set up an extension cord for us to charge our electric car. On top of all of that we were allowed to stay late into the last day because no one was checking in after us. Would highly recommend this spot!!

Awesome visit

We came to visit with our daughter whom lives in the area. We brought our youngest daughter and two friends who have never been to the area. It was the perfect space we needed with a very short walk to the beach and nice to walk to surf city and activities. Will definitely stay again.

This VRBO has everything you need for your stay. Super clean, comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen essentials, games, chairs, convenient location. Beach access #12 is right across the quiet street. Less than a mile walk down the street to shops and the bridge. Jim is quick to respond if you need anything. Would highly recommend this place!

Clean home, close to the beach

My family and I had a wonderful stay on N. Shore Drive. The apartment was very spacious for 3 adults and 2 dogs. Only steps from the beach (access is literally across the street). Very clean and quiet. Jim made himself very available and was very friendly when we saw him on the property multiple times throughout our stay doing maintenance outside.

A beach condo packed with fun!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at the 4 Sea Monkeys. Our host was fantastic, and he left out many beach toys for our kids and water balloons too. This condo offers all the beach amenities needed, is very close to public beach access, and is within walking distance of everything. I highly recommend staying here!! We will be coming back next summer!

This is the place to stay! Look no further!!! Book Now!

This is such a great place to book! Seriously! Quit wasting time looking around and just book it! This property sits across the street and 3 houses away from access point #13! It was so nice to be able to just walk to the beach or back home super fast. The unit is super spacious and fully stocked more than any place I’ve ever stayed at (and I travel A LOT)! Jim has excellent communication and strives to make your trip relaxing, comfortable, and best he possibly can! My 3 nephews from Ohio and myself throughly enjoyed staying here and will most certainly be back!

Great stay

We had a girls trip (2 moms and 4 daughters) and had a great time at this rental. The location was great and so close to the beach access, and also on the better side of Surf City that's not so crowded. It was nice and quiet too. The owner Jim was very responsive and super accommodating. The kitchen worked well and there was plenty of seating in the living room. The only suggestion would be maybe also having a hose for rinsing off on the right side of the property (in addition to the other side entrance) and a few more basic kitchen items like a large stainless steel salad/mixing bowl but that's it. We had a great time and it worked very well with 6 ladies!!

Business trip

Great place to stay for those on a budget. Location couldn’t be better right across the street from the beach access. Jim was an excellent host and very responsive. Even when there was a small issue with a noisy dryer he had a repair man there before I even mentioned it. It is a older house but has everything you need and plenty of space. Furniture was comfortable and a nice large TV was a plus. The only Recommendation I would have for the owner would be to address the musty smell in the apartment. Once I open the windows an aired the place out it was OK and I would stay there again

Truly a fantastic find!

The hosts proved to be very helpful and responsive. They've made this home into a cozy and laid back retreat. It comes with comfy beds with soft sheets, lots of seating inside and out, plenty of games and toys for the kiddos, free wifi, a full kitchen + dishwasher and a combo keurig/regular coffee pot, washer/dryer, outdoor grill, PLUS it comes with good shower pressure. As an added bonus, they provided the linens, towels, shower toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soaps), thick beach towels, and kitchen essentials (dishwasher tabs, diswashing liquid, cooking spray, salt/pepper, sugar, creamer, paper towels, aluminum foil, pots/pans, dishes, cups, mugs, utensils, dishclothes, etc). I really appreciated that I didn't have any stairs to climb, plus it came with its own reserved parking spot. The location is also terrific as the beach is right across the street! We would certainly stay here again. A+ experience!
