Great vacation
Our family of adult children, grandkids and dogs had a great time at SEArenity Now. Jim was an excellent host. Responded quickly to the few questions we had. The house was clean and well stocked. Beds were made when we arrived and all linens and towels were provided along with beach chairs and toys. The location was excellent. We could see the Surf City bridge from the kitchen window and the private beach access was directly across the street. Kitchen was well stocked and the frig had a working ice machine (a first for us in Surf city). We hope to be back soon!

Amazing Stay
We had an amazing stay! The beach house was clean, wellstocked, and in a perfect location. Our teens loved being able to walk to the pier, grab ice cream, and visit nearby eateries without needing a ride. They walked to Soundside Park for fishing and kayaking and loved the independence of walking everywhere. The private beach access that was steps away was incredibly convenient, and we appreciated the included beach chairs and toys. When it rained, the arcade games and board games kept both the kids and adults entertained for some great family time. Highly recommend it and we can’t wait to come back!

Great week at the beach
We loved our stay, despite some lousy weather. Being so close to the beach meant we could sneak down whenever the sun peaked out.
Only (very) minor issue was a bit of a chemical smell in the entry floor. The smell did not affect any main floor.
Great communication from owner and no logistical issues at all!

Great Location
The home fit our needs and allowed enough privacy between 3 different families with common spaces to come together. Appreciated the proximity to the beach. There a few things that were minor annoyances. The laundry wasn't working and a repair person couldn't come until 4 days into our stay. This coupled with only 2 dishtowels made doing dishes and keeping the kitchen clean a challenge. We would have appreciated a bit more toilet paper, paper towels, and regular towels in the home.
Private access to the beach was a breeze and the location relative to the bridge made getting off island less painful than most.

Taking a family vacation with a few friends and this home was perfect for us! Having bedrooms on 3 separate levels made it quite nice if anyone needed privacy and the home was lovely! The beach access was just across the street and beach accessories were provided by the home owner. The amenities were also superb and I didn’t need to bring additional items for the week. I can’t say enough good things about this home and would stay there again!

Best equipped rental
I have stayed in several VRBO rentals over the years. This was by far the best equipped one. We didn't need to go out and buy any kind of cooking utensil, plates, silverware, mugs, or glasses. Grill worked great as did the waffle maker, coffee maker and toaster!
The house is well maintained and very comfortable. The owner was extermeely responsive and accomodating. I had never been to Topsail island before. I would absolutely rent this home again! Top notch!

Great trip
This was the perfect house for A busy family to reconnect! Very well appointed, we didn't want for anything the whole week. Any issues we had were addressed immediately and our host couldn't have been any better! The only thing that could have made this house any better would be if it was oceanfront and if I had brought a knee brace..... all those steps were rough by the end of the week! Overall, wonderful home and wonderful stay!

More Surf City memories
We frequent Surf City & Topsail each year & this year we stayed at Jim's place as our normal house wasn't available:
- The location is perfect for the downtown area of Surf City, either by bike/walking but it wasn't too close that you heard it.
- The private beach access couldn't have been any better.
- Communication with Jim was great!
- Being a duplex home, it's always a crapshoot with who ends up beside you but the couple that lives beside this portion of the home are great. It was nice to meet them & nice knowing that someone local was there in case there were any questions about the area.
- The top level was very warm when we got there BUT it was one of the hottest weeks on record and with people moving out, cleaning crews there before our arrival & then with us unpacking it made sense. The thermostats are touch and scroll so make sure you get those set to your liking upon arrival. We kept the shades down during the peak of the day as we were all at the beach.
- The home overall is well appointed, clean & definitely worth consideration for your next visit to Surf City.
- Shaka Tacos & Hot Diggity Dogs are fantastic. Most of our party could have eaten there every day.
- Beach Shop and Grill has a new chef & it's the nicest restaurant on the entire island. They don't take reservations so go earlier for some family pictures before/after dinner. $$$$ but good.
- 50 South rents bikes and delivers - set up before travel.
Highly recommend Jim and this property!

Fab family vaca
This beach house was not only steps from the beach, it was beautifully decorated and appointed! Jim was very easy to contact and updated us with any new details we needed for our trip. The whole family loved the area and our granddaughter loved the beach and beach toys 😍The only thing that was unexpected was a filthy grill. We cleaned the whole thing, grill grates and all and used it that night without any other issues. We look forward to coming back again next year!

Thank you Jim!
My family and I had a wonderful vacation at SEArenity Now. From the time that we got there, to the time we left, it was wonderful. The house was situated between the ocean and the coastal waterways. We took advantage of the waterways, and charted a boat one day to do some fishing, and rented kayaks to do more fishing. The private beach access was just across the street. The house was fully stocked with everything that you would need. If we had any questions, Jim was quick to respond. We would definitely recommend this house to friends, and would definitely come back!
