We have stayed at this property multiple times. It’s got a great location, well stocked kitchen, very well maintained, attractively decorated, and the hosts are the best. It has a nice dock for fishing as well. We have stayed in two other properties in Surf City and this is by far our favorite.

Beautiful property in every way!! Great location close to amenities yet quiet and private. Outstanding views all day long. Loved being able to fish right off the dock and paddle in the sound! House was super clean and cozy, kitchen was well-stocked which we appreciated because we cooked our own meals a lot. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks Jim!

Peaceful stay on the sound

Our family loved the close location to the beach (with rented golf cart) and I loved the ability to kayak easily on the sound. We got to watch dolphins play around us in the channel!

Family Getaway

My parents are big Surf City fans, so it is extra special to take them on vacation every summer to the area. I am SO glad I came across this property - it is the perfect spot for a quiet getaway that is close to the beach and great for fishing and relaxing near the water. The sunrise view is unbelievable and my personal favorite part of our stay. The home was clean and well kept and had all we needed for a great beach week. Hope to return!
