The cutest house on the beach
The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We have a 3 and 1 year old so being right on the beach was perfect. I watched the sunrise every morning on the beach while the kids slept in. We loved staying here so much and hopefully will again!!

Great time
We had a great time, we saw dolphins from the decks. The kids searched for crabs with flashlights. A lot of shell searching and even found a couple shark teeth. Thank you for allowing us to visit your sweet town.

Wonderful beach week
Cozy, beachy, comfortable. Loved being right on the water. Spectacular views of the ocean, sunrises, sunsets. Loved being able to Walk down the stairs right onto the sand and into the ocean.

Excellent Location!
The Riki Tiki was perfect for our stay this winter. Being right on the beach is fantastic, plus you are very close to many restaurants and shops. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Communication from the rental company was very good. We'll definitely be back, hopefully in the summer!

Amazing getaway
Came here from Seattle WA and stayed 3 days with my husband. Neither of us had ever seen NC beaches before, being able to just walk right out of the house and onto the beach was so worth it! As another reviewer said the house is rustic but if your in it for location this hous is it.

Family Vacation
We loved this location. Being right on the beach was great. My grandsons loved going out at night looking for crabs. Would highly recommend this beach house. The only thing is they need another step before you get on the sand. The step down is really high and hard to get back up on (especially if you are an older person). Overall we loved staying here.

Lovely little beach house
This property was perfect! It was exactly as described and fit our family of five very nicely. More importantly, the view and location were AMAZING! Also, this house had everything we needed, from the linens, to the coffeemaker, beach toys for the kids, chairs on the deck, and a washer/dryer... I really cannot stress enough how perfect it all was. The decor was so cute too! We were very pleased and would 100% stay in this property again!

Great Experience!
The house was located perfectly! We enjoyed the nice deck and being able to walk right onto the beach! The house was very clean and plenty of towels, wash cloths, and sheets were provided. The washer and dryer is a bit loud, but who cares when you can listen to the waves instead! This place is perfect for toddlers. It’s so nice just being able to go in and out as you please.

Great Little Beach House
The house was perfect for our family. The kitchen is definitely small so it made cooking a bit of a challenge at times, but we knew that going in. The deck is great with acces directly to the beach. There is a public beach access ramp about 100 yards down, but the beach was still fairly quite since there are open lots on both sides of the house. Would definitely stay again and have already recommend the house to others.

Great little beach bungalow
Our family of 4 was looking for an early season escape from Covid captivity and this house did just the trick. We were able to get away and still distance! Location can't be beat; the ocean is your backyard. Only constructive criticism is that the full bath and kitchen are a little tired. What a great week!!

Nice stay in Surf City
The property is exactly what you see online. One nice perk was there is a regular coffee pot and a Keurig so you have options! The kitchen is small and while it is fully stocked; we opted for paper plates, cups and plastic silverware. I try to be more earth friendly; but there really isn't room for washing up. Not a criticism; just a heads up in case you want to bring your own. Also; the sofa cushions are pretty thin. You definitely feel the frame when you are sitting on them. So far as the location; you are literally on the beach. There is no long walkway to get over dunes, etc. This is what we found the most appealing. Someone else mentioned the washer and dryer are loud. This is true. I opted to run the washer when we went to bed so it didn't disrupt us watching tv. This is the first house I have stayed at in years where I had to pick up a key somewhere else. Given how common key pads are; this would be more ideal. The different bedroom colors were fun and vibrant; the beach décor was cute without being garish. It's a sweet cottage and we enjoyed it. My earlier comments are not meant as a deterrent; but rather to prepare future guests for what to expect.

Beautiful beach!
Not for any kind of handicap person. House is very sloped and hard to walk on. I broke my ankle and had boot on. House was nice but older and it is starting to show its age. Awesome time being so close to water though.
