About this property

C-Shore Retreat - Great Views, Steps to the sand!

Come enjoy a relaxing vacation in this brand new home that is right on the beach! With AMAZING views and a walkway to the beach you'll have your toes in the sand in no time. This well thought-out floor plan has plenty of space for you to spread out or enjoy with another family or friends!

Once over the bridge you are less than a mile away! This puts you extremely close to the pier, restaurants, and all the activities of town - but still far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet!

Surf City is an amazing little town with easy access to other parts of the coast. You will have a great time here with EASY access to the beach and plenty of other options to explore if you want to mix things up!
-----

The home is on stilts, so underneath there is parking, an outdoor shower, eating area, and some beach toys! Once you come onto the first floor you will have a room to the right and one down the hall. The beachside room has its own deck and a king bed! The room down the hall is perfect for kids, with a queen bed and twin over full bunk. On this floor you will also find a full bathroom and in-unit laundry.

Coming up to the second floor, you come into a large space where you will probably spend most of your time. This floor is your living, dining, and kitchen area and there is a VIEW from everywhere! With plenty of seating and a large deck on the ocean side, this will be where you visit, play games, and enjoy a cocktail at sunset! The kitchen is fully loaded with all kinds of extras for you foodies!

The top floor is the main suite and is it SWEET! It's a large room with a king size bed, walk in closet, private bathroom, and a great view of the ocean. Great place for you to sneak away from the crowd and relax! A daybed sits by the window to double as a place to read or allow the room to hold an entire family!
---

Guests will have access to the entire home (except two closets that are reserved for owner's storage). The car port, storage closets, outdoor shower, and every room in the house are yours to use so you can get the best out of your stay!

There is some additional parking off to the side of the units.
The beach walkway is shared with the other units, but open at all times!

Pet Fee:
The pet fee covers up to 2 pets! Please make sure your reservation is updated properly. If you are traveling with more than 2 pets, please reach out - sometimes we can accommodate an additional pet on a case-by-case basis for an additional fee. Thanks!

Perfect Beach Vacation

Everything about our stay was perfect - the house was clean, right by the beach, and well stocked with every possible thing we needed for an easy and relaxing experience. Our communication with the property owner was exceptional, from the booking process until after check-out. We would absolutely stay here again.

The property was very nice, but they were doing construction during the day, which was distracting and noisy. And, there was a port a potty right outside the balcony window on the first floor. The new build will obstruct the full view from the first floor balcony. You can see straight out, but no side views.

Nice beach front property

Comfortable unit within a larger structure. All the modern conveniences, good kitchen, comfortable beds and a great location. Host was very responsive and we had no issues. Good for 5 or 6 guests. I’d stay there again.

There were bugs/knats constantly flying around which was very annoying. Heavy concentrations in the windows of the bathrooms. The remote control thermostat was very difficult to maneuver. It got cold the first night and couldn’t figure out how to turn on heat. It may have been on a timer. Trash can outside was full and attracted a lot of large flies.

Great Beach Getaway

We are local but had family coming from out of town so this was a perfect spot for everyone! The layout of the home offers great views, and there was plenty of space so we didn’t feel on top of each other. We had games and a fully stocked kitchen (and working grill) for meals, and was walking distance to a few fun spots. With the beach right outside the door and plenty of chairs, towels, and accessories it was exactly what we needed! Max was super, very responsive, and start to finish process was straightforward.

This house was beautiful with amazing views! Great location with it being close to town but far enough that the beach wasn’t crowded. The easy beach access was great for our dogs and everyone that stayed at the house.

Nice Place, But Adjacent Construction Detracts

Property was as advertised. Family with 4 adults and 3 children stayed 4 nights. Unfortunately, 4 new multi-story buildings were under construction between 8 am and 5 pm on adjacent lots during our stay. The noise from pile drivers, saws, generators, etc. really detracted from what was otherwise a nice family experience.

Surf City Beach House

The property was very clean and was well equipped with kitchen utensils and supplies. There was also beach chairs, towels, bikes and boogey boards to use. There were three houses being built very near the property while we were there, resulting in noise and limiting the ocean view we had expected when we first booked.

Great property, perfect location

I rented this home for a beach stay with my children and grandchildren and we had a great time in Surf City. The property was clean, modern and very comfortable. The ocean views are beautiful, and beach access is steps away. The home was well stocked with dishes, cookware, towels, games etc which was nice. Other reviews mentioned construction going on in the area. Looks like when we arrived the bulk of the loudest part of the construction was over, so noise wasn't a big problem, in fact the children enjoyed watching the construction. I would recommend this property and would stay here again if I come back to Surf City.
