Beachfront, Elevator, Two Master Suites, all Bedrooms Oceanfront!

My family and I stay this beach house the first week of August 2017. The area is beautiful and the house placed very close to the water has a stunning ocean view. The house has a great setup, bedrooms are separated on 2 levels and provide great privacy. The house is large and easily fits a couple generations comfortably. The elevator is very convenient. However the house is past its prime and in overall loved/used condition which would require some TLC.

The upstairs toilet runs continuously.

The kitchens sink sprays water pretty across the entire kitchen because it is rusted.

The dishwasher drawer is loose, and might fall if you are not ready to catch it.

Hardly any lamps had light bulbs or were working. The lamps which are not working in the staircase make it quite difficult to get downstairs to the bedrooms at night time.

Most of the “nice” lawn chairs are broken, you will notice right when you sit down. Most of the inside furniture is very loved you could almost say dirty. It is hard to see through the old, yellow colored windows in the entire home.

Doorknobs for example leading to deck are loose and unusable unless you have a screwdriver handy.

The baseboards are loose upstairs, which again create great tripping hazards, especially close to the staircase.

The awning on the sundeck is completely broken.

The BBQ spot downstairs is very overgrown (like the rest of the yard), and therefore hard to use.

The deck is in bad shape and needs to be replaced entirely. Deck and boardwalk not only have screws sticking out, the entire boards are loose and give an uneasy feeling.

It almost looks scary underneath the house. The supporting structure which connects the wood frame is rusted significantly, which again gives an uneasy feeling if you understand only a bit of engineering. The house is nice but not up to date. The owner has excuses on why nothing needs to be fixed incredibly fast which gives the idea that they have heard all of these listed points before.

Ps: not providing linens/towels is pretty inconvenient for guests traveling by airplanes, considering how easy it would be to just have a simple set there.

This was a great place for us for our first beach vacation with our new grandson.

The home proved to be extremely comfortable, and couldn't have been any closer to the beach.

The owner was responsive to our pre-trip questions. But when we arrived after a storm, she was really great, taking care of all the small dings and dents after the storm hit.

The elevator is a real plus, especially as the kitchen is on the top floor.

The home was well-equipped, and had all we really needed for our grandson. Being right on the beach, it was so easy to get him down for bit, then right back to the house. The beach is very clean and not crowded at all (even in July).

Overall, a very positive experience at a very nice beach house. One check of the yearly calendar and you'll see that lots of people feel the same way we do. We've stayed at lots of houses along the East Coast. Unless you're looking for 'super fancy', you won't go wrong with this house......

We loved it here! So quaint and loved having two porches. The elevator was convenient, however the call button did not work. We needed to ride it to the floor where it was needed but still really convenient for groceries and luggage. We forgot to order linens and called the owner. She was extremely helpful and kind. We had linens delivered within an hour! Definitely recommend staying here!!

This was our first time renting a home for our family vacation and we sure did set the standards high with this home. We had two families coming from the midwest to spend a week on the beach and randomly decided on Surf City. The house was the perfect setup for the 7 of us, having two master suites and a room with bunked beds for the 3 children. Each of the 3 rooms had a bathroom connected, which was great! The views from every room were magical and the washer/dryer and elevator were an added plus! We spent every day/all day at the beach, which was literally outside of our back door. The house came equipped with all of our beach needs, including chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and sand toys. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook with, and we took advantage of that, only eating out twice during the whole week (not counting the awesome doughnut spot we found in the middle of the week)! The two balconies were used often for morning coffees, late lunches and quiet reading in the hammock. The outdoor shower was the kids' favorite part!

Tamara was wonderful to work with! Her communication was spot on and she was always quick to respond.

We've only been home for a day and are already in the works for planning a return!

Tamara's place was amazing! Great views, access to the beach was wonderful, and a quiet street but close to everything on the island. We would definitely return. The windows on both sides of the home in the main living area and kitchen kept the whole place light and bright. The elevator enabled us to bring along our grandfather that would not have been able to use the stairs. It was simple to use and went from the ground floor to the top quickly. Bedrooms were nice - each with its own bathroom which was a big plus. The multilevel decks were great - we used both throughout our stay. The dual living spaces were nice as some could spend an afternoon on the top floor, while others could use the second living space on the floor below. The home was also stocked with beach things like chairs if needed. We would recommend this home to any of our friends and would return ourselves again.
