Wonderful place to stay right on the ocean. The private parking space under our room made it very convenient to store our beach gear without having to carry it in and out of the room

6/10 Okay

Great loc & view, needs fixes

You can’t get closer to the beach. It’s not a very big stretch of beach (maybe 30-50 ft from balcony to surf during hi/low tide), but sand is smooth and water pretty clear. There’s no exit off the balcony so you do need to walk down one flight of stairs and over to walkway about 40ft away. Very close. Overall the condo is okay. Bringing all the linens and paper products is standard for me, so that was no issue. But the huge list of checkout instructions was a bit much. Not sure why we paid a cleaning service fee b/c we left it cleaner than we found it. The shower heads in full bath need replaced. Just not strong enough jet. The fan over master bed was very wobbly so we didn’t use it. The patio doors need replaced immediately. We didn’t call maintenance b/c it requires actual new doors. The entire set is rusted and hard to slide, and glass door actually lifts out of track on bottom. It was usable but a real pain in butt. My kids weren’t able to open/shut door so we had to do it. When I called before check in to say we might be late, lady said our keys would be out front of office in a box. When I asked for code to unlock that box, she said there was no lock. I do not think condo keys along with my check-in and personal info should be in an unsecured box! Luckily we got there right at closing time so it wasn’t an issue. And when we left, the keys get dropped into a slot that slides inside office, like a bank or library overnight slot, so they’re secure. There aren’t a ton of restaurant choices but check out the tiny Island Delights. Very good sandwiches. If you go boating in the ICW, rent from Topsail. Then go about a quarter mile to Sailfish for dinner. Stop there because there isn’t anything else for many miles. There are other marinas but not with food beyond chips and candy. Traffic absolutely sucks because it is such a tiny spot, so make sure you get to the Walmart first and don’t go back past the bridge again. It takes forever. Worse than Bethany Beach or OB.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we truly appreciate your feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed the close beach access provided by staying in a Surf Condo unit. Your suggestions for improvements have been shared with the homeowner and rest assured they will be taken care of either immediately, or added to Fall improvements (new doors are coming!) We also want to share that we have already updated our check out procedures to streamline the process. In a nutshell all that we ask of our guests is that they remove all trash and food items from the home, load dishwasher and start it, place used linens in the designated bag and place blankets and comforters back on the beds (rather than on the floor or elsewhere). This helps keep bedding cleaner for the next guests. These few steps help us maintain a fast turn around time so that the next guests are not delayed in their check in. During the turnaround time our housekeeping staff does a thorough cleaning of floors, counters, appliances, decks, etc. If you are looking for great restaurants, you need look no further than Surf City, which is just a mile or so from the Surf Condo's. An easy bike ride or super short drive. Island Delights is wonderful, as are the many others just around the corner. On traffic, we can't help much with that, Saturday's is the busiest day for arrivals and departures. Planning your grocery stop for on the way helps, as does arriving earlier in the day and enjoying lunch or a stroll on the beach prior to your check in. Hopefully the new bridge will relieve some of the congestion. We hope that you will visit Topsail Island again soon and choose Ward Realty for your accommodations.
