We loved this house. It is beautiful and the area is so nice peaceful. The walk to the beach is not bad, but would recommend trying to find a golf cart to rent way before I tried! Would have been better with the heat. We ended up just driving back and forth. We will be back!

We have stayed at this property multiple times. It’s got a great location, well stocked kitchen, very well maintained, attractively decorated, and the hosts are the best. It has a nice dock for fishing as well. We have stayed in two other properties in Surf City and this is by far our favorite.

This is my go to property! Very nice for a boat owner, halfway between New River and New Topsail inlet. Deep enough channel even at lower tide for a 35’ boat, and amazing sunrise and sunset views. Far enough from the beach to not have the strong winds, but close enough to walk to for a relaxing stroll in the sand and surf.As much as I (selfishly) don’t want to promote this property for my own ease of availability, the owners are fantastic and attentive and do not disappoint. So, I have to be honest, this is the best property we have stayed at in Surf City, and I have adjusted my plans to stay here. I don’t think anyone would be disappointed with their stay here. Additionally info for fisherman: 14 miles to New River Inlet, 11 Miles to New Topsail Inlet. Best fuel prices on the water Pelegic Hunter Fishing Center (Sneads Ferry). Best sandbar(s) New Topsail Inlet (be aware of tides and current). NOTE: check the latest surveys for both inlets, they are constantly shifting.To summarize, this property is a 10 out of 10!

Beautiful property in every way!! Great location close to amenities yet quiet and private. Outstanding views all day long. Loved being able to fish right off the dock and paddle in the sound! House was super clean and cozy, kitchen was well-stocked which we appreciated because we cooked our own meals a lot. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks Jim!

Peaceful stay on the sound

Our family loved the close location to the beach (with rented golf cart) and I loved the ability to kayak easily on the sound. We got to watch dolphins play around us in the channel!
