Recent Surf City guest reviews

In many ways the home exceeded expectations. The real drawback for our family was that the 6 of us couldn't sit and eat a meal together. As shown in photos, there is a high top table with 4 high top chairs and no options for chairs that could be added.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning 7-bedroom beach house, and overall, it was an incredible experience! The property truly shines with its prime beachfront access, offering breathtaking ocean views right from the backyard. The private pool and jacuzzi were fantastic additions, making it the perfect spot for relaxation after a day on the beach. The house itself is spacious and thoughtfully designed, with ample room for large groups or families. Each of the seven bedrooms is comfortably appointed, and there’s more than enough living space for everyone to spread out and enjoy their time together. The open-concept living and dining areas were perfect for hosting meals or simply hanging out, and the outdoor patio was a great place to unwind. While our stay was mostly wonderful, there were a couple of minor issues that didn’t significantly detract from the overall experience. Despite those minor setbacks, this beach house is truly a gem. With its unbeatable location, luxurious amenities, and ample space, I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy a beach getaway with friends or family.

Now only was the house beautifully decorated and clean, but it was such a short walk to the beach and it had every feature one would need for a beach house! We had such a good time and hope to stay there again!
