Our family of 10 stayed. It’s was FANTASTIC! We traveled from separate states and our meeting spot was here. Arriving first, we did have some trouble with keyless entry. After that was fixed, nothing went wrong. The weather was perfect, never used the AC. Furniture was comfortable, plenty of room for all 10 to sit, play games, conversations and eat. Location perfect! Rooms, beds perfect! Elevator-priceless ( I fell a few days before our trip and broke my ankle in 3 places. )

Great Location

What we liked the best about this home is the privacy it affords everyone. There are decks off the bedrooms and kitchen too. Very spacious living area on a quiet part of the island.

Wonderful stay

Well accommodated home that fit 14 of us easily. There is a guest closet outside that had plenty of chairs, boards and even a wagon to carry things to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pots/pans.

2025 - 18th year family beach vacation.

So many things we liked about the house! To name a few- close walk to the beach, kitchen well stocked, beds comfortable, elevator handy for older adults and luggage trips. Loved how the owner supplied paper products and soap supplies, and trash were an added bonus. Oh, so nice to have corn hole game and added chairs . Would come back!

Best Vacation Ever

Went here to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. We had a ton of people come and go. Everyone kept mentioning how beautiful the view was and the ease of access to the beach itself. 10/10, would recommend.

Great home for our family

We have a large family ranging from 6 to 86 years old and some members with disabilities. The elevator really came in handy and the house layout worked out great for our family. The beach access is one house down to the right which made coming and going to the beach very convenient.

Gorgeous home!

We enjoyed staying in a clean, well-stocked home. Linens, towels, soaps, and dishwashing detergent are all included. (We had a large group and also brought additional garbage bags and our own paper towels). The decor is lovely and beach access was convenient.

It was paradise.

The location is amazing. We had 12 adults and kids and couldn’t have asked for a better time. The beach is easily accessible and all enjoyed it immensely. The house was perfect for us. Large kitchen and areas to mingle while also having separate spots to get away and chill. The beds were super comfortable. They have some beach chairs, toys, and a wagon to get it to the beach. Town was a lot of fun and witching walking distance. ( 1 1/2 mile). We would definitely return to Surf City and would rent the house again. Oh and the elevator was a blessing.
