This place is super fantastic for a family vacation. Plenty of space to spread out for comfort and no fighting over a bathroom. 2 levels , 2 kitchens and 3 of the 5 bedrooms have their own bathroom that have been updated , clean and well-maintained. In fact it has five bathrooms . Very updated excellent appliances to utilize. All the beds were very comfortable the sheets and the covers were just enough excellent air-conditioning and ceiling fans. Definitely appreciated the body wash shampoo that was provided in each bathroom.There were a few hiccups and I have addressed them with the owner personally which does not affect given this place five stars. You are within a hundred feet from the ocean and the convenience of only walk in a very short distance back to the house is most excellent.We had a small family wedding and this place was excellent to host a dinner party. In fact we loved this place so much we are going to rebook for next year and maybe even years to come. My family members will tell you that I am hard to please, but I was very, very pleased with our vacation rental. The owner Abbie is most excellent to work with and has excellent communication skills. Overall we were very pleased with our stay in Surf City!If you are looking for space, beach access convenience, my recommendation is off the charts. Walmart neighborhood market, and Publix close by and other stuff was within close proximity. Money well spent!
