We loved the location. The kitchen was fine. The 2nd bedroom bed was horrible and the twin bed mattress was a box spring. Living room couch needed to be replaced.

Good size for 8 adults. Beach access was very close and handy. Driveway would fit 4 cars. Walk in shower was a nice find not mention in the listing.

The house had many good and not so good features. First, the location was great. It is super close to the bridge and restaurants, and has a nice ocean view from the front of the home. The public beach access is right in front of the home, which was very convenient. However, the beach itself right there is very shallow, there is practically no sand available at high tide, so walking and fishing in the area had to be planned with the tide schedule. This is no one's fault, but future renters should have this information. The home is plenty roomy and the furnishings were comfortable. The issues we had with this home were all related to the maintenance and cleanliness, and this isn't the home's fault. If the property management team and owner can address these for future rentals, it will be a great place to stay.

The location of the property was the only positive feedback which there are several other homes with a good location. There was very little hospitality felt from this stay. The kitchen was not at all updated, the temperature on the stove was either on or off so all of our food burned, the kitchen tools were all from dollar general, the broom we were provided to clean with was snapped in half where you had to bevcareful of the jagged metal. Overall my assessment of this property is that the owners use this purely for an investment and are not concerned with the comfort of their paying customers.

We originally booked this through a local reality company and then it switched to Vacasa managing the property. We had poor customer service and miscommunication from Vacasa. The location of the property is great. However, some things need updated and lots routine renter upkeep was needed. The house was relatively clean but the showers did not seem to be cleaned when we arrived. There were only two coffee cups and one wine glass. The main couch looks like it need to be cleaned or replaced. We put a blanket that we brought over the couch the whole trip. With the location of the home, we do think that the home has potential; however, we would not pick to stay at this home again when we come back to Surf City or would not book a property managed by Vacasa.
