Over all we had a wonderful time.The house was beautiful and the views were stunning. However, we asked before renting the home if we dock our 17 foot boat at the house and was told yes but unfortunately we couldn't even get the boat back to the dock due to the shallowness of the water. That was heartbreaking. The location to the beach was great and loved golf carting around the island.
We had a last minute trip to the island for a family funeral. The process form check in to check out was great. The house was clean and has expected. We had a busy schedule so we didn’t cook any meals but the kitchen seemed well appointed. Thermostat worked great and ceiling fans in each room was perfect. Would be a great spot a full week. Linen package was a little underwhelming but sufficient. Management was great and so responsive to our one minor maintenance need.
This was our first time renting in Surf City and on the sound. We typically end up in N Topsail but wanted to try something different. We loved the layout, it worked perfectly for us and the 4 kids. We got to stay upstairs and they were downstairs. We had everything we needed for the beach (toys, chairs, cart, umbrella, boogie boards), and they even had much of the supplies they told us to bring like Saran Wrap, foil, dish soap, hand soap, etc. LOVED having osmosis water since beach water always has a taste to me. Beds were super comfortable! The views on the pier were spectacular at sunset and the private beach access was nice - a little walk, but not bad at all. We will be here again!
If you love marsh views and crabbing this is perfect for you. The ocean is a bit of a walk accessed by a private boardwalk across the main street. Our party consisted of a set of Grandparents & two moms each with two children, so we lacked a private bed for one child. The Ikea kitchen had most everything you need, just bring your own food. The elevator was a blessing because I turned an ankle the day we arrived. The 'fun' closet had a nice stock of recreational equipment. The disappointment was that there is no easily accessible area to launch a canoe or kayak. Beds are comfortable seating, not so much. Moody, fun beach vibe decor.
