Great location and views.

Easy beach access and nice ocean views at this home stand out. It was beautifully and comfortably furnished. The fourth floor bunk room stayed too warm use, so keep that in mind if booking for a large group.

This is an absolutely gorgeous house and we loved our stay! The view from the kitchen and family room was so much better than I expected, and the walk to the beach was way quicker than I thought it would be too. The furniture was also so comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us to be there. As somebody else mentioned, the top floor with the bunkbeds was pretty warm the whole time we were there, but it was OK for kids to sleep in and it was nice to have that space and another bathroom. The one thing I would mention for somebody planning a trip is there is no grill at the property- not a detriment, just something that I was surprised about when I got there so I wanted to help others to plan!

Fantastic Beach Home!

If you are looking for a beautiful beach house in the heart of Surf City, look no farther than the Salty Unicorn. This home is close to the beach as well as rester-aunts/things to do. This home exceeded our expectations! The furniture was super comfortable (living room, bedrooms). We slept so well, all of the beds were extremely comfortable and all had nice quality bedding. The kitchen was stocked with everything plus more than you would need. We loved how all of the beds had linens on them when we arrived and the bathrooms were stocked with a ton of towels/handtowels/washcloths/soaps. The outdoor deck furniture was super comfortable. The home also had nice tvs in every room and they were thoughtful to include games, puzzles, books, and outdoor beach games and supplies! We could not recommend this home more! We can’t wait to keep coming back.
