It was perfect for our family. It felt like home. Everything was about 10 minutes or less away. The beach was across the street. Booking for next year.
We had a wonderful 6-day stay. We loved the short walk to the beach. The place is cozy and clean, and nearly everything is supplied for you. The owner is on point with anything you need. Great place to stay!
This stay was wonderful as Jim was very accommodating. It is also located right across the street from the beach! This place was well prepared and had everything we could have possibly needed. We will definitely be staying here again if we are in the area in the future!
A hidden gem—better than the photos and in an ideal location. We loved staying here and were very comfortable and happy with the accommodations. The hosts have given this place a lovely personal touch, and everything we needed during our stay was provided. Highly recommended!
We came to visit with our daughter whom lives in the area. We brought our youngest daughter and two friends who have never been to the area. It was the perfect space we needed with a very short walk to the beach and nice to walk to surf city and activities. Will definitely stay again.
Property was perfect for 3 travelers. Communication and hospitality from the host made this a quick and easy stay. We even had a smores kit for a little treat. We stayed here so we could cook our own meals and it had everything we needed to grill and make a nice breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
Absolutely wonderful! The location is fantastic and Jim couldn’t be a better host. He was very accommodating with our stay and made sure we had everything we needed.
This property was exactly as described. The owners have thought of everything. We stayed for a short weekend to visit our son. The location was absolutely great. Just steps away from public beach access.
This VRBO has everything you need for your stay. Super clean, comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen essentials, games, chairs, convenient location. Beach access #12 is right across the quiet street. Less than a mile walk down the street to shops and the bridge. Jim is quick to respond if you need anything. Would highly recommend this place!

The host was amazing!! He made you feel how much he cared about people who stayed from the poems of instructions for your stay, the littlest details of accommodations, cleanliness and just the overall welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in. Every detail was thoughtfully curated. Thank you for an amazing stay..
Our family truly enjoyed our stay at the 4 Sea Monkeys. Our host was fantastic, and he left out many beach toys for our kids and water balloons too. This condo offers all the beach amenities needed, is very close to public beach access, and is within walking distance of everything. I highly recommend staying here!! We will be coming back next summer!
Jim was very accommodating and made it a point to have things out for the kids. The place was very clean, very close to two beach accesses and walkable to restaurants. The house was very well stocked and had everything we needed. We only had to pack our clothes. Jim has thought of every detail and we would definitely come back!
My family and I had a wonderful stay on N. Shore Drive. The apartment was very spacious for 3 adults and 2 dogs. Only steps from the beach (access is literally across the street). Very clean and quiet. Jim made himself very available and was very friendly when we saw him on the property multiple times throughout our stay doing maintenance outside.
Just a weekend get away with the kids for a fishing trip . location was awesome walking distance to the area across street to the beach access.pier was 0.6 miles if u are there as well the amenities was great didn't need anything but my suitcase . Also kid friendly .Mr Jim was kind and very responsive..thank u again for let's us share your condo..u til next time
This is the place to stay! Look no further!!! Book Now!
This is such a great place to book! Seriously! Quit wasting time looking around and just book it! This property sits across the street and 3 houses away from access point #13! It was so nice to be able to just walk to the beach or back home super fast. The unit is super spacious and fully stocked more than any place I’ve ever stayed at (and I travel A LOT)! Jim has excellent communication and strives to make your trip relaxing, comfortable, and best he possibly can! My 3 nephews from Ohio and myself throughly enjoyed staying here and will most certainly be back!
It’s an older beach cottage with pretty much everything you need for a vacation at the beach, so you don’t need to bring anything but yourself and personal belongings. If something is not there, Jim gets it for you. He is a great host and very available to you as needed. The location is great for the beach and walkable to some shops and restaurants. A hot tub was just recently purchased on “our” back porch and is a great added feature to the stay. My husband who does not like noise was bothered by the renter above us walking about her place what seemed like stomping all hours of the day and night. However this was my oversight in not thinking about this when I booked the ground floor.
The hosts proved to be very helpful and responsive. They've made this home into a cozy and laid back retreat. It comes with comfy beds with soft sheets, lots of seating inside and out, plenty of games and toys for the kiddos, free wifi, a full kitchen + dishwasher and a combo keurig/regular coffee pot, washer/dryer, outdoor grill, PLUS it comes with good shower pressure. As an added bonus, they provided the linens, towels, shower toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soaps), thick beach towels, and kitchen essentials (dishwasher tabs, diswashing liquid, cooking spray, salt/pepper, sugar, creamer, paper towels, aluminum foil, pots/pans, dishes, cups, mugs, utensils, dishclothes, etc). I really appreciated that I didn't have any stairs to climb, plus it came with its own reserved parking spot. The location is also terrific as the beach is right across the street! We would certainly stay here again. A+ experience!
Absolutely fabulous place... extremely clean, fully stocked kitchen, tons of room, and best of all, about 100 feet to the beach access. Owner was on top of everything, extremely responsive and accommodating. Loved it and can't wait to come back next year!
