I can't say enough good things about this cabin! I stayed with my mom here for a week and it was everything the owners said it would be and more! It was nicely decorated and had all the comforts of home! It is in a great location, you can be on the beach in 5 minutes. Very quiet and peaceful. The cabin was very clean, and everything worked as it should. Great price! The owners are very professional and easy to deal with. The fall is the perfect time to go because the weather is still warm, but their aren't very many people! Other things we did included chartering a sailboat with Norstar Ventures in Little River, South Carolina. Can't say enough good things about our experience with Captains John and Beth. Would also highly recommend going to Bald Head Island for the day. Go there early though as a lot of things close around 5 or 6. The aquarium at Kure Beach is another great place to go too. Thanks again Chuck and Julie for sharing your Cabin! Me and my mom made memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

We loved this home away from home for our beach vacation! We have 2 little ones and the big, fenced backyard was perfect for them to run in. There were also lots of toys and child-appropriate dishes included, along with plenty of books, puzzles and games. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean and tidy. Everything you could possibly need was available. For dinner, we liked Sears Landing (on the left, just before the bridge) and we liked Buddy's (over the bridge, on the water front). We also liked Batson's Galley for lunch or breakfast (just down the road from the house). We would highly recommend this home!! We will definitely return!

My friends and I had a wonderful time at The Fish Camp. The house is eclectic and interesting. The backyard is much bigger than the pictures show. My friend was able to pull his boat right up to the backyard in the ICW to pick us up. We all knew upon arrival that we wanted to come back and stay again.

This house made our vacation. We have a 2 1/2 year old, and this house was completely child proofed, safe, clean and had tons of toys, books, and eating utensils for us. My son actually never wanted to leave the house to go to the beach! For adults, it is stocked with books, cds, dvds, has 2 porch swings, a hammock and is just an all around perfect place to get away and relax. The owners are amazing, helped us with small issues that came up and even dropped off something we forgot when they were out near where we lived. I hope we can return here for years to come.

Owner response:Thanks for the kind words and we look forward to your next visit!

Wonderful spot for relaxed "me" time! The unique decor of this cottage reflects humor and charm, and it offers comfort and convenience as well. Gorgeous sunrises from the hammock while having a cup of tea will be a happy memory from my time here!

This adorable cottage situated right on the ICW was so relaxing and peaceful, yet just a few minutes drive to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The decor is quite whimsical and fun. The house was very well kept and has plenty of seating inside and out to view the water. We also enjoyed the town of Surf City which was friendly and clean. The beaches were beautiful, not too crowded and a walk on the pier was nice. We enjoyed a meal at Buddy's Restaurant ( less than 5 minutes from the cottage) which overlooks the ocean and took a day trip to Bear Island; an uninhabited state park accessible only by ferry in nearby Swansboro. Thanks to the owners for providing this wonderful retreat. We would recommend everything highly!

We really enjoyed this set up. On short notice needed a quick place to get away from it all and relax. Stayed here for a few nights in late sept and had a fantastic time. The house is creative and fun, the beach is close, the beds are comfy, its exactly what we needed. Rental was seamless. Thanks

I stayed here with my family of 5 + a newborn and really enjoyed the location and atmosphere. 5 minute drive to the center of Surf city to enjoy the beach or eat at the restaurants. 5 minutes inland you have a miniature golf and supermarket available. Nice quiet location and will visit again. Thanks!

Chuck, We enjoyed our stay in your Surf City bungelow. I appreciated the comfortable setting, the water, and the preparedness of the cottage. It was an enjoyable experience.

We enjoyed 3 days in this cozy and very comfortable cottage with our family. The surroundings are peaceful and inviting with the water off the large back yard and the shaded back porch. The outside area is very private with the plantings and the inside is well furnished to provide comfort. The kitchen is well furnished so any meal preparation is possible. I would recommend this property to anyone.
