May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location! This is the third property we’ve stayed in at Surf City and it’s a wonderfully planned property with the plants and the fencing. Loved the location to restaurants. Only thing that could have made it better was a king sized bed like we are used to at home! ##### Pierce B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janna F. Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 4th at Topsail Loved the house and location. The apartment was great for our kids and we loved being able to bring our puppy. Sharon was very helpful and reponded to our request quickly. Wonderful house and week at Topsail. I would recommend this property! ##### Janna F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chelsea S. Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Week Beautiful property, in a great location. I’ve stayed on Topsail many times and this was the first time being so close to the “center”. So many things to walk to from this house. And plenty of room for everybody when we wanted to be home cooling off. Hosts were super responsive to any needs/questions. Would definitely stay again! ##### Chelsea S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna M. Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surf City Fun House was just as advertised! It is a cozy cottage that is clean and stylish! Lots of outdoor space and easy walking to shops and restaurants. Loved the special decoration touches and uncluttered storage spaces! We also were impressed with the fenced in yard which was perfect for our toddler and dogs. I do have to agree with another review that the mattresses were not comfortable. Maybe too new and hard? Only other suggestion is a few pots with lids and a 9 x 13 Pyrex for those who like to cook in. ##### Donna M.
