The new and extra touches are perfect. Take a second to check out the shutters with the NC silhouette. The location is ideal.

Mar 30, 2025 #### The Best Beach Stay Ever We just love this house and location and knew last year that we would be coming again! The views, layout, and access to the beach are perfect. Location has low traffic on beach and street which makes it especially nice for strolling or hanging. Everything was provided for and all we had to do was relax and enjoy! The owner truly has considered every detail with design and functionality to capture the ultimate beach experience. The house was immaculate and has plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, bathroom and kitchen supplies and more. The property manager, Christine, is great and always responds quickly with questions or needs (she gets 5 stars too)! The owner and property manager both strive to provide the best guest experience possible and is why we will be back a third year...and longer stay! ##### Jolene S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly W. Apr 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect resting place This property is a diamond! Beautiful, equipped with all the higher end amenities, so well kept and clean and convenient to many small restaurants and small community businesses. Perfect place to escape to relax and chill out. The ocean views CANNOT be beat. ##### Kelly W. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chad T.

Minutes from restaurants and awesome beach views throughout the house. The downstairs set up is great for entertainment. We’ll be back! ##### Chad T.

This home on the beachfront was perfect! It had everything we needed and more. The home was very charming and comfortable. Walk right out to the beach and also easy access to the Surf City community. Communication couldn’t have been better. My only regret is that we could not stay longer. ##### Cathy A. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sandy Adventures!
