We liked the location of this house being close to other things we like to do when we’re not sitting on the beach. The view from the upper deck is spectacular. And the host is easy to communicate with.
We found this amazing house to be in the perfect location south of the pier. The beach was not crowded around us which made for easy beach days. The house is better in person and was filled with anything you would need to enjoy your stay! I will highly recommend this house to any friends visiting the area. Thank you to the hosts for sharing your amazing home with us.
We stayed for a family vacation. Had plenty of room and really enjoyed the hot tub, huge deck, and beautiful beach. Wonderful stay and highly recommend!
Excellent communication with our hosts. Clean and comfortable stay. Plenty of space to spend Christmas here with extended family. Would definitely book again
The house is great, clean and very well appointed with everything needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching the snow storm. We completed a couple of their puzzles. Very relaxing getaway for my husband’s birthday!
Awesome place and we had a great time. Both owner and property manager were very helpful and quick to respond to questions. Home had everything we were looking for and added to the great experience!
Fantastic location and great, spacious house with everything you need, from cooking utensils to towels and lots of toys for kids. Communication was prompt and helpful. Overall a great experience, highly recommended!
Loved the balconies and views! Enjoyed the hot tub! Great location - the Surf City area feels like home. Local fresh fish market, great lobster roll place, fishing pier, several local restaurants and coffee places Publix grocery store nearby. House was on elevated area of island which was great as there was a lot of wind and rain during our stay (flooding was not an issue).
Has it all: proximity to the beach, lack of crowds, spa, etc.

Hi Robyn,
We're so glad to hear you had a great stay! The beach is just steps away, and the house is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation.
Hope to host you again soon :)
My family stayed here for Mother's day weekend. The house was clean and ready when we arrived. The location is perfect if you like to see the sunrise from the front deck. Private beach access was a huge plus. Only minutes from the restaurants and attractions. Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our week there. Great hosts. Nice property.

Hi Erik,
Thank you for your review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your week and that the property met your expectations. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had an amazing stay at this house. Loved being able to go to the beach and then move to the hot tub when it got colder in the evenings. Beautiful views, clean house and lots of space for our group.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an amazing stay and enjoyed the easy beach-to-hot tub transition in the evenings—that’s the best way to unwind! 😊 We’re glad the views, cleanliness, and space worked perfectly for your group. We’d love to have you back anytime for more beachside relaxation!
Great layout, plenty of sofas and chairs and a large dining area for our family meals. Christine was very responsive to our requests for extra supplies needed for our group of twelve-thank you! Love the ocean view from the new deck. We also appreciated the gates at the tops of the steps since we had some little ones.
Enjoyed our stay. We did have to purchase our own TP/papertowels on day 2 as there was not enough provided for a family of 10 for 6 days.

Hi Alexandra,
I’m sorry we did not perform up to a 5 star review. I see you listed that there wasn’t enough TP or paper towels available. I know we leave at least 2 rolls per bathroom. Our onsite property manager starts every guests stay with a text letting you know if there are any concerns or if you need anything to just contact her. We checked and there was 10 texts between the two of you during your trip. We wish we had known this was a concern and would have rectified it immediately. We hope you consider us for a future stay and we will continue to strive to be better.
Great house! Perfect for our family of 4 & dog. With 5 spacious bedrooms the house easily could have accommodated another full family. Lots of space and every amenity you could possibly need. Watching the sunrise over the ocean from the hot tub was very nice…The location is well in range of all the best restaurants (and of course door dash). We would 100% stay again. Thank you!
My husband and I just needed a quick get away and we chose this house because we could have a beach view and a hot tub. It was nice, wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Hi Mollie,
Thank you for staying with us! I’m so glad you enjoyed the beach view and hot tub—it’s the perfect combo for a quick escape. You’re always welcome back for a longer stay next time!
The house was perfect for a family. There was plenty of space indoors and out. The hot tub was a plus as were the spacious decks overlooking the ocean. The huge washer and dryer were convenient also. My daughter had a great time playing the piano one evening during a rainy stormy night. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive to our needs.

About the host
Hosted by Christine
Acquiring a beach house fulfills one of our cherished American dreams. My wife and I have nurtured this aspiration through years of diligent effort, and it has finally become a reality. We take delight in opening our dream home to guests, including fellow pursuers of the American Dream who exemplify hard work and determination.
Just as you strive tirelessly and deserve the rewards, you merit quality family moments on the beach!
Why they chose this property
I've visited numerous beaches in the US, and Surf City is the one we like the most. I feel a sense of tranquility here—it's not overly crowded, and it lacks the commercial atmosphere with numerous towering buildings that other beaches have. The people here are also incredibly friendly.
What makes this property unique
We work hard for our American dream; the ocean-view house fulfills that dream, and we want to share that spirit with you in our beach home. Everyone deserves an American dream beach vacation during which you can spend quality time with your family and friends.
Our location is less than 5 minutes away from the island's central area, where the restaurants are situated. You're far enough from the bustling city while still being conveniently close to various restaurants and ice cream shops.
