Perfect weekend getaway

We had a lovely time. The house was cozy and clean, had everything we needed and was conveniently located right across from two public access points to the beach. The quiet dead end neighborhood also made for wonderful evening walks.

Great place to stay!

Poppy’s Place was great! It’s a half block from the public beach access and a short golf cart ride to all the shops in the center of Surf City! It is a quiet street and very pet friendly. Amber was very responsive and helpful. We will be booking this place again for next summer!

We came with our dog. We liked how they had the dog bowls ready for us. They also had muffins and a welcome card. Place is quiet, which we LOVED! The walking distance to the beach is like 2 minutes! Loved the bikes! If we decide to vacation down there again we will definitely rent out Popi’s place again! ❤️ Thank you

A yearly gift to my daughter on her birthday

Cottage is very spacious. My only hope is the sliding glass doors are fixed by our next stay. That would be nice. Overall a very nice cottage. That's nicely located. With ease do all your shopping just a few moments away.

Our stay at Poppy’s Place Beach House in Surf City was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless and welcoming. The home is not only immaculate but also thoughtfully designed with every detail you could need for a relaxing getaway.We spent the week enjoying the beach, exploring Surf City and Topsail, and coming “home” each evening to the most peaceful, comfortable space. The kitchen was perfectly stocked, the beds were cozy, and every touch—from the décor to the little amenities—made it clear how much care and love went into this home.We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming about coming back. Thank you for sharing your lovely beach house with us—it truly made our vacation special. — Tabitha & Jerry

Wonderful Stay!

We had a great time at Poppy’s Place. Very clean and has all the basic amenities to include the Keurig coffee maker. Gas grill was great for making a hot dog lunch for the grandkids. Lots of beach chairs and items in the garage. Beach access 10 is the closest but does have stairs. Would stay here again. Great communication as well with Amber.

Surf City visit

My wife and I had to make a trip on short notice for a funeral and we were very fortunate to be able to stay here. The vibe of Surf City is very relaxed and Amber’s house was a perfect place to come back to at the end of the day. It was very clean and the location was great for walking on the beach or going into town. Thank you very much, Amber, for your hospitality and the great value staying at your house provides.

Oh! We do like to be beside the seaside!

The property Poppy's Place is really cute! It is very well maintained and space is used really well. At the front the lounge/dining area leads onto a deck which has views of the sea and provided a great space for our dogs to sit and watch the world go by (they loved it). It is less than a five minute walk to the beach entrances both to left and right. The beaches were lovely, quiet and clean. We were made to feel very comfy in the home, there was everything we needed.I would definitely recommend and we are looking to book a second visit this Spring!

We loved Poppys Place!

Poppys Place is a beautiful home that was set up perfectly for two couples and two kiddos (although four kiddos would have also fit just as nicely). It is a beautiful home, very clean, and close to the beach as well as many fun areas, stores and places to eat. The owner was kind and responsive as well. We really loved our stay!
