We enjoyed the Upper Deck unit. There were only 2 of us, plus one dog. Quiet dead-end street, and located within 2 miles of the Publix grocery store. Short walk to the beach. Comfortable beds, nice towels and linens.Very adequate for our needs. The photos of the property are accurate.

Host was absolutely amazing and made sure our trip was amazing! We ended up extending our stay and host was very prompt in helping us do that. House was very clean and everything we expected. Location was great we could walk to most places we wanted to go. My golden retriever enjoyed it as well as we did. We will definitely be back to stay again.

Clean property in the perfect location! We enjoyed our time in Surf City, and this home is in an ideal location. It’s close to restaurants and shops and 3rd row from the beach! The beach access is on the same road. The fenced in yard was perfect for our two beagles to stretch their legs and explore. Excellent and friendly communication from host during our stay.
