Good value

House was nice, clean, and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Good ocean location and access. A couple minor maintenance items need to be addressed but it’s a good value and comfortable house.

Great spot and loved the setup of the house minus the upstairs bathrooms. Not a lot of counter space for 2 people’s stuff, but loved having the sliding mirror closets. The house didn’t appear to be cleaned well before we arrived-dirty dishes that had mold on them in dishwasher, but other than that loved everything else about the house. King size beds in 2 of the rooms was nice. Loved the setup on the balcony and large kitchen table to seat everyone for dinner. Love that the balcony was also gated so our dog could come out there off her leash. Overall really enjoyed our stay.

Very nice location, great decks, beautiful view, optimal proximity to beach.

Overall, the property is nice, with a large living dining area and plenty of sleep space with comfortable bedding. The individual decks for each room are amazing and everyone can space out to enjoy the ocean breeze and listen to the waves crashing just yards away. The only negatives here are, first, the steps. The steps are not built to code, and too small to fit your entire foot on, thank goodness sturdy handrails are in place, which prevented all but one trip and fall. Secondly, the upstairs bathrooms are tiny, with the smallest showers we had ever seen in a house. Everything else was in working order and the realty company provided a welcome bag with nice items to help get settled in.

Owners really take pride in their home and provided some nice special touches.

My first time to Surf City and it was a great experience. I just wish we had been a little closer to the pier, restaurants and shops so our teenagers could have gone exploring alone.
