Our stay was great! The property was so clean, spacious, fully appointed and the location was perfect, a very short walk to the beach. We loved it, and would gladly come back!

Oh gosh. No she has a cat that’s inside. But thank you so much. It’s the neighbors dog. I will make sure we address that for sure. Never fun to see that. I really appreciate your nice comments and the update about the land mine at the bottom of the stairs! Please come back
Loved this home and cannot wait to come back! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook a meal. Bedrooms were very cute and porch was amazing to sit on and hangout with the family!

From the owner: "This family was amazingly clean and makes it all worthwhile! I can't say enough how grateful I am for people like this. Gave me back faith in humanity. The grill broke, and the breaker went out, and they said it was okay. Really, the best people ever, thankful and grateful for them."
We absolutely loved our stay here! It was super clean, walking distance to the beach and to some shops down the road. Diann was very responsive to all of my questions, and we will definitely be coming back!
WOW! Best rental we have ever stayed in. Communication from the host was 20/10. Wish we could give this place a million stars. You have everything you need here and then some. The house was spotless, the beach was steps away, so spacious and just exceeded any expectations we had. We couldnt have asked for a nicer host, and a better place to stay. We will be staying here for every beach trip this summer. Wether you have small children, or are having an adults only get away you will enjoy every second spent at this beautiful home. Cannot wait to come back!

Thank you very much for leaving the home sooo clean! And I’m grateful for all the wonderful comments. Hurray back! Guests like you make it easy on me! Well and the cleaners that were very happy!
We enjoyed a quick family getaway at this house - wonderful location a short walk to the beach. Check in was a little confusing bc the key lockbox is downstairs, but the rental is upstairs. Very cozy, nice kitchen, would recommend.

Your suggestions are valuable, and I’ll certainly keep them in mind as I continue improving the guest experience. You have a second home here, and I’d love to welcome you back!"
Diann was wonderful we were very impressed with staying at the beach house and everything she had done already to make your stay even better. I would recommend staying. Even though we don't know Diann we felt like she was our friend/family already.

I have been blessed with having these wonderful people stay at my home! These guests were amazingly clean and hopefully they will return soon. Thanks again!
Super close to the beach public access. It was a great value for the location. The host is wonderful and very responsive. Didn’t realize at first that it was a duplex and there was someone staying on the first floor, but, we didn’t even notice them and it still felt really private. I would stay here again for sure.
Perfect for family of 4. Clean, short walk to beach, well furnished. From check-in to departure, host Diann was proactive with communication and extremely accommodating to our needs. We especially appreciated the 2 decks, large sectional, 6-seat dining table, outdoor shower, and beautiful houseplants. Home is spotless and obviously well cared for. Would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful house
Loved it! The house was clean, and had everything we needed except groceries. The beach was so close, it was an easy walk even with a 1 year old. The best part was the outdoor shower which made cleaning up afterwards a breeze. Would absolutely stay here again.

Super cute + super clean
This super cute beach house was very clean when we arrived. It is so close to the beach. There are outdoor decks on both front and back of the house. The kitchen has new appliances and everything you will need to cook meals at the beach. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of towels. We enjoyed our stay very much.
The property is conveniently located-just a very short walk to the beach. The house itself is very clean and well maintained. The kitchen has new appliances and is stocked with everything you will need to cook meals while on vacation. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels. The house is decorated with cute beach themed art work. It was a cozy and relaxing stay. Our dog enjoyed her stay as well.

From the Owner: "Thank you so much for being such fantastic guests! You left the house spotless, our cleaners were beyond impressed and joked that they’d hire you on the spot! Hosting guests like you truly makes it all worth it. We’d welcome you back anytime!"
My family of 4 (plus two dogs) stayed the weekend at this amazing property. The house was charming and very clean. The host (Diane) was attentive and quick to respond to all questions/messages. Our favorite parts of the stay included the less than 5 minute walk to the ocean and the outdoor shower. We’ll be back!
Clean, rooms good size. Two bathrooms a plus. Balconies nice. Owner reached out during tropical storm warning. Easy communication with the owner. Stayed 5 nights.
We came to Surf City for a long weekend with family. This place was perfect for our small group and our little dog. The house is exactly as listed, and it is so close to the beach. The walk is so easy. The other amenities in the area were a short drive or a nice long walk. This was our first beach trip as a family, and we absolutely loved this place!! We would love to come back, but for longer next time!

This unit was perfect for our stay. Extremely clean, easily accessible, the owner is prompt in returning messages. The space itself had everything you could need if you want to cook in and is beautifully decorated and well maintained. Spacious inside with plenty of seating indoors and out. Very short walk across to the beach. I highly recommend this home and will be back again.
Very clean, super convenient to beach, lots of living space for entire family, updated kitchen, great deck space. We live on the mainland and wanted a house closer to the beach for when our kids and grandbabies came to visit. It was perfect! Host was super nice and made our stay even better. Will definitely come back
