We stayed for a week in mid-May and it was a lovely time of year to go - still warm enough to enjoy a few good beach days without the crowds. The house is so conveniently located just a few minutes off the Surf City bridge, and therefore is really close to larger grocery stores which was awesome. In the past we’ve stayed much farther south and it’s kind of a hassle to go to the store. The ocean being steps away is a game changer, and the area is beautiful. As suggested, make sure there isn’t a renourishment project happening during your stay or you could be looking out at a bunch of huge trucks. Keyless entry to the home is nice. The first thing we noticed when we opened the door to the house is that it had a strong dog pee smell. I get it - it’s a pet friendly rental. But the bedrooms having carpet certainly doesn’t help if you’re going to allow pets. Needless to say, our dog spent the first 15 minutes of our visit smelling every square inch of carpet in the place. We got some candles and tried to air the place out and it seemed to help some. The screen door from the primary bedroom onto the deck had a little learning curve. It wasn’t super easy to open, probably a relatively quick fix though. All that said, the house was well suited for our group and we really enjoyed our stay! I would book again if the carpet was replaced! 🙈

The house was very nice and accommodated my family perfectly. We had a couple minor issues that were fixed pretty quickly; greatly appreciated! The house was very clean when we checked in, beds/furniture were comfortable, loved the high deck chairs and the A/C worked great. Definitely looking forward to staying there again in the future! Thank you!

Loved the property!! Great house, great location, and super easy process! We will definitely book again.

very well kept and true to the online representation. we lucked into warm weather for beach games and even wave riding.

Stayed here for a short weekend with a group of friends. Excellent layout with most of the bedrooms on one floor, the spacious living/dining/kitchen area on the top floor, fantastic views, multiple decks, right on the beach -- hard to ask for more! We're hoping to be back for a longer amount of time next time around. My only complaint -- and this is not the fault of the owners -- is that the house is right next to the public access, and there's the giant Christian retreat center across the street. So EVERYONE from the retreat center comes in on the public access, and it's just a *lot* of people when you're hoping for a quiet spot on the beach. But I still wouldn't trade it for how perfect the house was for our needs.

Great property great location 2 fridges worked out terrific. So many place that are 4 or more bedrooms have only 1 fridge which is too small.

The house was wonderful and perfectly accommodated our family. Everything was clean and we had no problems with staying cool. It is located on a quiet stretch of the beach, so we almost felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. We look forward to staying there in the future!

Everything about the house was as described and seen in the photographs...and we loved every inch of it! With all the nice touches, staying in this home felt more luxurious than staying at a resort. The views are fantastic, there is an outdoor shower, the kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms are large and the house is beautifully decorated. Also, the house is very, very clean and shows that it has really been well cared for. Never before have we had such a relaxing time on vacation. I could not recommend this house enough! We will definitely be back!!
