We're so glad to hear you found the check-in/out process so smooth, and finding the location was easy! It's great to hear our home was a great fit for your stay. We'd be happy to host you again!
Had an absolutely amazing time. Much need time away with my son and my beagle. Property was really nice, clean, convenient to almost everything we were looking. Do plan to visit here again. Thank you
Host was absolutely amazing and made sure our trip was amazing! We ended up extending our stay and host was very prompt in helping us do that. House was very clean and everything we expected. Location was great we could walk to most places we wanted to go. My golden retriever enjoyed it as well as we did. We will definitely be back to stay again.
Easy access to town & beach. Wonderful attached fenced-in yard for ease of letting dogs out. Clean rooms & wonderful open concept living/dining/kitchen area.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the easy access to town and the beach, and that the fenced yard and open living space worked well for your stay. We’d be happy to host you again anytime!
We enjoyed the Upper Deck unit. There were only 2 of us, plus one dog. Quiet dead-end street, and located within 2 miles of the Publix grocery store. Short walk to the beach. Comfortable beds, nice towels and linens.Very adequate for our needs. The photos of the property are accurate.

We’re glad the Upper Deck unit was a good fit for your needs with just the two of you and your pup!
It’s great to hear the quiet location worked well, along with the proximity to Publix and that short beach walk. We’re happy the comfortable beds and nice linens added to your stay, and we appreciate you confirming the photos are accurate!
We’d be happy to welcome you and your furry friend back anytime! 🐾
Clean property in the perfect location! We enjoyed our time in Surf City, and this home is in an ideal location. It’s close to restaurants and shops and 3rd row from the beach! The beach access is on the same road. The fenced in yard was perfect for our two beagles to stretch their legs and explore. Excellent and friendly communication from host during our stay.
