We’ve booked many VRBO homes but this was the best experience ever. Easy entry. Great communication with the owner. Words cannot describe the beautiful sunrise over the ocean every morning, viewed from your own private deck. The house is comfortable and convenient walking distance to the Surf City Pier, great eateries (Mac Daddy’s Grille and New York Corner Deli), the local park and pedestrian bridge over the sound, and of coarse literally a handful of steps to gorgeous Surf City Beach where you can watch surfers, parasailing , kite flyers, dolphins, birds or look for smooth rocks and shells. The kitchen is well equipped, the living room couches are comfortable, the TV has plenty of popular channels and streaming service and we got good sleep. Our dog had a ball watching all the beach action from the deck. They have a gate in the laundry closet you can use to limit access to the beach from the deck. They had a full tank of propane ready to go for the grill which was nice since we had to change it out. We were spoiled by Simple Serenity and highly recommend renting. We hope to do so again someday. Thanks Wagners!
