This property is oceanfront and in the perfect location! Very nice place and plenty of room for all 8 of us. Upon check-in we did notice sand on the kitchen counters, in the kitchen floor, in some of the bedroom drawers and on the sofas. There was also trash from the previous renter on the floor under the edge of the sofa. But these were easily fixed and the rest of the unit was very clean! Owner was attentive and responsive, and great about keeping us updated on the tropical storm moving through. Great place to stay!

Family vacation of adult siblings with a couple 3-year-olds, and we had such a blast! The listing is detailed and accurate. So I’ll just add that it was very well-stocked with cookware and even things like ziplocks which was a nice surprise. Owner was very responsive, and it was nice corresponding with/renting from the actual owner and not a realty company. Nice outdoor shower with warm water, and I also liked the entry mud room to store beach stuff. The 2 Oceanside decks were AMAZING! Great house, great vacation, definitely recommend!

We love the beach and our week away with family! Almost Oceanfront was wonderful!! We have stayed at Sea Star Village before and were disappointed that the townhome where we usually stay was booked but it was a BLESSING in disguise! Almost Oceanfront had a better view! The kitchen was so well stocked! My husband loves to cook at the beach and he had everything he could possibly need!! I am a "knife snob" and usually take my own knives but I didn't even need to get them out! Everything was clean, the temperature in the home was good, beds were comfortable, space is well laid out. I enjoyed reading the guest book and how ironic . . . one of my husbands teachers in his school stayed at the same place in 2006!! How cool is that?? I highly recommend Almost Oceanfront. We will definitely be booking again!

We had an excellent stay at Ken’s place in Surf City. He was very communicative and everything was easy and smooth during our trip. The property was perfect: clean and contemporary. You can’t really get closer to the beach without steps on the sand. Great ocean views off the beach side porches and we loved having Surf City Line steps away. Solid WiFi and nice TV. Wifey was very impressed with the well-appointed kitchen. We definitely hope to visit again. Top notch Surf City VRBO. Thanks again, Ken!

Incredible location, view , beach, & set-up. Pool was fair..we knew it was a community pool, but other than 4 Adirondack chairs, there was nothing to make the pool inviting to hang out (probably the intent of the HOA I’m guessing). Surf City is a wonderful beach town and area with a good variety of restaurants and grocery stores . We would stay there again in a heartbeat except for the fact that the cleaning service was inadequate and kitchen utensils and pots/pans were all in fair shape. Nicely decorated, and you can’t beat the location…35 yds to the beach!

Our stay was fabulous! The weather was perfect! Great family vacation with tons of memories made. Location was perfect. House was perfect. Everything we needed- and the ocean front views are the best! Enjoyed the conversations with folks I met at the pool. The owner is so easy to work with. Immediately returns our messages. I left a speaker behind and he worked with me so I could have his cleaner ship it back home. She did a fantastic job helping me out. Everyone was pleasant and we always enjoy the southern hospitality, that’s why we’ll be back! Thank you Ken!

A wonderful spot in North Topsail. It was completely as advertised, but be prepared for a couple of flights up to the top. The pool is tremendous and our five year old granddaughter loved it. Owners were easy to connect with an allowed us to stay for a late check out and helped us check in a little early which was great! Would definitely stay there again!

Their was a water main issue (no fault of owner) and we had no water. Not much water pressure for showers even after it was fixed. The owner said that was common on island. Never had that problem with other rentals on island.

This was a great property for our family! The views are incredible, and you are pretty much on the beach. The pool is a little small for the community, but it was always warm and clean so not a big deal for us. The kids loved it. Location is right next door to Surf City Line which is delicious and across the street from a couple of bars which was nice for the adults who wanted to get out for a drink or two and come right back. All and all, our group loved Ken’s place and all said we would love to stay again.

This was my first VRBO experience and our first thanksgiving without my father-in-law. It was a fantastic experience. The property fit all six of us adults giving us the privacy we needed. The beach was beautiful and easily accessible. We were able to spend the time with our Marine son-in-law based in Jacksonville.

Short walking distance to beach was ideal. Great property. Community Pool is small, but we were mostly at the beach so it didn’t really affect us. Highly recommend for easy access to beach

Nice place!

Nice place!

Great townhome with amazing views, clean, enough room for everyone to have their own space. My only downside was the pool. Very very small for as many occupants and the complex housed and hours were limited. Have teenage boys that enjoy hanging around the pool in the past and wasn’t able to do that this year. Overall place was really nice. Our weather wasn’t that great so that put a damper on our week as well.

Best View Ever

Best View Ever

6 of us stayed for the week in July. This view off the main family room was amazing! We didn’t use any of the kitchen items except for the Keurig, so I cannot attest to what was all there. It did look like a lot for those who cook on vacation. There are many steps, so if you can’t handle that you may want to look elsewhere. I appreciated them, it felt like I was getting a workout in each day. Lots of tvs throughout the condo. We mainly used the family room. For those of you that wanted to watch an old vcr tape you can do that as well. Lots of movies at the condo. Unfortunately, the sleeper sofa was not very comfortable. It should be replaced. There were 6 of us but only 5 seats - loveseat & couch. One of us had to sit on the extra dining room chair. With 4 bedrooms, there should be more comfortable seats. The location was great. A short walk out the back and you were at the beach, very convenient. The outside shower came in handy to rinse off before heading inside or to the pool. Restaurants were nearby and there was also one steps away from our condo. It had live music, but it never caused a noise problem. The pool was nice, small, but at times we were the only ones in it. It was always kept clean. Never heard any neighbors on either side of us. Good sound proofing in the walls.

Great stay!

Great stay!

After reading the reviews and the communication I had with owner prior to renting this unit, I had high hopes of it being excellent and it was simply perfect!! Unit was in working order, very clean and wonderfully stocked kitchen. Beach access 10/10 Beds 10/10 Clear instructions from owner 10/10 TV 5/10, simply because a member of our party likes the evening news and we couldn't find a way to get it on Roku TV but lots of other choices! There are many of steep steps to navigate which was fine for us but if you have a person who has mobility issues it may be challenging. Overall rating 10/10! Would love to visit again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful Property and View!

Wonderful Property and View!

Ken and Carol were amazing from the start answering any questions we had! The property was amazing and the view of the ocean was breath taking. There are a lot of stairs ( which is expected) and the stairway is a bit narrow. Watch that step! Only downfall that I didn’t see in the details was that we needed to bring our own sheets and towels. It was completely fine, but was just extra stuff we had to pack. Surf City Line is a great little restaurant located right beside the property, but beware they do have live music especially on the weekends that is loud and has a tendency to run over the 10:00pm cutoff time. Made it a little hard to sleep. Overall, our family had a great time and hope to return!!

This townhouse was great for our group of 6 lifelong friends. We had great views, easy beach access, and lots of comfy bed space. The kitchen has great dishes and a Keurig. Our only complaint was that we needed more soft seating in the family room; there were 6 of us and only 5 soft seats.

Clean, Basically Beach Front

Clean, Basically Beach Front

We really enjoyed staying here. I used to have my own cleaning business, plus with covid, cleanliness was our TOP priority. All the bathrooms were clean, the kitchen was tidy and everything was organized. The views from the back balconies were very pretty and we saw dolphins several of the days we sat out there. It seems to be well maintained. The beach access is right outside the back of the condo so you just walk up a ramp and then you are at the beach. The only thing to be aware of for this property is that there aren’t any beach chairs or umbrellas to use like other properties have, or if they were there we couldn’t find them. Also there is a bar close by that plays very loud music until about 10:00 PM, after that it gets quiet though! All in all I would definitely stay here again, everything was clean, easy to check in and out, close to Surf City, and definitely walking distance to the beach.

The unit’s proximity to the ocean was incredibly convenient! It allowed my parents to come and go from the beach without hassle and stress (they are 77 & 88). We are foodies and the kitchen was soooo well stocked for meal preparation. We loved staying here and Ken was a wonderful host.
