OCEANVIEW - WALK TO TOWN TO AVOID THE TRAFFIC, HOT TUB & HEATED POOL

This property has it all. Highest reviews, new 6-person hot tub, large private heated pool with slide and the perfect location that is very walkable to downtown Surf City! This large beach home is perfect for 2 families with great sleeping options for 11 people and 3 full bathrooms + an outside private shower and 2 water heaters. It is one of the premium vacation properties on the island. It is located approximately 0.5 miles south of the Surf City high-rise bridge on upscale “South Shore Drive” which puts you within walking distance to lots of restaurants, bars, groceries, shops, Surf City Pier and more! South Shore Drive is a 25 mph, oceanfront beach road that is only local traffic. It is the perfect place for an exercise run, bike ride or family walk. You can literally put your keys away for the week. We strive to make the house appealing to families with amenities like beach chairs, ping-pong table, gas grill, highchair, baby gate, pack & play and a second overflow refrigerator in the downstairs storage area.
This ocean view 2nd row home has two beach accesses just a short walk across the street, literally 100 feet away. After you spend a day at the beach you can enjoy the large private backyard heated swimming pool that includes a slide for hours of enjoyment for the kids while you relax in the hot tub. The back yard is perfect for our guests to relax, sunbathe, listen to music, enjoy your favorite beverage, read, or enjoy an afternoon nap or have a family cookout with the outdoor grill. The pool is very large for the island with 10k gallons and measures 16' x 32' in length with a large slide. It is heated in the cooler months for free (mid-March - October 31st).

The house consists of 2 main floors. The lower main living area contains the kitchen, ½ bath, laundry, dining room, master suite and bath. The kitchen has granite counter tops and is well stocked so you can prepare anything from a large breakfast to spaghetti dinners or burgers on the outside grill. The large dining room table comfortably accommodates 8 guests plus 4 bar stools at the peninsula bar. In the evenings when the sun sets and you are ready to wind down, sink into the large sectional and settle in for relaxation watching the large TV with soundbar. There is also a large front porch that has as a nice outdoor upholstered furniture which is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or happy hour drink. On the second floor the kids have their own space to enjoy their favorite shows, DVDs or games in the upstairs entertainment room. Additionally, upstairs we have 3 bedrooms with 2 king beds and a charming custom built bunk room that contains 3 twin-XL beds & a queen bed. Separating the bedrooms are 2 full bathrooms with double sink vanities. Another full-length covered deck is along the front of the house where you can sit in rocking chairs and have magnificent views of the ocean and pier.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, there is no room for second best and for the “cross your fingers” strategy to selecting a vacation destination. We have put a lot of thought into the house and amenities to ensure you have a great vacation!

The cleaning fee includes maintaining the yard, house & pool which are actually higher than what we are charging our guests.

Lovely place, everything was needed
We had the best time vacationing here. The place was super comfortable with all the kitchen supplies we needed as a multigenerational family of 7! The place felt super clean and beds and furniture were comfortable! The kids loved the water slide and even in cooler late October the heated pool was great! Would definitely stay here again!

Very well supplied, very comfortable beds. Owner is easy to contact and seems to genuinely care that you enjoy your stay. We will return for round 3 next summer!

Another Wonderful Stay!
This is our third year staying at this wonderful property. The owners maintain this house so well. The proximity to the beach is great with 3 young kids. The outdoor space is our favorite part; including a pool, waterslide, hot tub and outdoor shower. The house is clean and well stocked. We have already booked our trip for next summer!

Perfect beach home for vacation!
Our family had a wonderful week staying at this home! We have always used the big name management companies to rent from in the past and have always been very, very disappointed. This home is hands down the cleanest, most well maintained and cared for beach home we have ever stayed in. We would absolutely rent this home again!

This was our second time staying at this property and it was just as nice as we remembered it back in ‘21. The house is so well maintained and very accommodating to any needs you may have. The pool is gorgeous and well kept and the hot tub was an amazing addition. The little touches like menus and notes left with recommendations really show the care put into having an enjoyable stay. We hope to be back soon!

Our favorite place!
We have stayed in this Surf City home twice now and I truly can not say enough wonderful things about the home, the location and the owners! The private heated pool and hot tub were enjoyed all week by every member of our party. The proximity to the beach makes it so easy to go on a quick stroll or to go for the whole afternoon. The house is beautiful and so well maintained - they have truly thought of everything and they care about making the stay as easy as possible for the guests. We can't wait to go back again soon!

Simply amazing!
We had such a wonderful time and the home was perfect! My only suggestion would be to have more baby gates as the home has lots of stairs and there needs to be away to prevent the little ones from going up or falling down the stairs.

Amazing Pool! Perfect location!
We had the most wonderful week here! Spacious and clean house with so many little details to make your stay better. The beautiful, heated pool was a major highlight for us! Being able to walk to the beach just across the street made it so easy to go for quicker trips or walks without having to prepare for a whole day at the beach. Many delicious, local restaurants within walking or biking distance. The owners were wonderful. We can’t wait to come back soon!

Great house and location
The house and location was as advertised. If you want the beach then it is a minute walk. If you want a pool then it is right in the back yard. Plenty of little shops and bars within a 10 minute walk.the family enjoyed the pool mostly but we did a half day trip to Wilmington. 40 minutes away. There was also plenty of grocery options 10 minutes away, so we made use of the grill.

Never disappoints!
This is the third time we have stayed here and have already booked our week for next year. No better location or accommodations in the heart of Surf City. The private pool area is a favorite family gathering spot and the slide is always a hit! The house is so well furnished and love we don’t have to travel with all the necessary infant/toddler accessories or beach gear. Communication is top notch and such a well thought out layout. Always something updated!
