Welcome to Clocking Out! We have everything you need to maximize beach time and enjoy all of the amenities Surf City has to offer. The perfect mix of comfort and convenience! PET FRIENDLY and full of charm, this 4BR, 2BA home has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the ocean air.

Head up to the front porch where you'll enjoy beautiful sunsets and a cool breeze.
As soon as you open the front door, you'll be greeted by an open concept living space, recently updated kitchen, lots of seating and breathtaking views of the ocean. Enjoy your coffee and the sunrise on the back, covered deck, while you listen to the waves crash and watch the dolphins splash in the gorgeous blue ocean.

Sheltered from the sun with additional seating, charcoal grill, corn hole and tons of space make the lower level the perfect place to relax and play after a perfect beach day. The full size washer/dryer are are available for you to use anytime. And you are welcome to use any of the beach gear like skim boards, boogie boards, discs for golf, beach chairs and fishing equipment.

The small bedroom has a twin day bed with twin pull out trundle. The bunk room has four twin beds. And if you need to spread out just a bit more, there is also a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. The living room and every bedroom have smart TVs and the home has been updated to 800 mbps so internet access and streaming is seamless.

Heading to the beach? You are less than a minute from dipping your toes in the sand! Public access #2 will take you over the dune and onto a beautiful and wide stretch of pristine beach. Enjoy the awesome Surf City waves, wide beach, shore fishing and shell collecting. The house also has a full sized, covered, outdoor shower to rinse off when your beach day is done.

When you're not at the beach, please enjoy the books, board games and puzzles provided. This location is so close to everything! A public playground is two blocks away. The Surf City Pier is a gorgeous beach walk and just two miles away. The home is minutes from the Surf City town center shops. And you will be just a few blocks from local bars, restaurants and the arcade. Don't forget about golfing - there is a local public golf course, disc golf course and mini-golf nearby. SO much to do!

Clean, affordable & close to the beach

My family and I have never stayed at this location before, but we couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. The host is very attentive and happy to assist in any way. We normally try to find something on the beach, but this place is super close to beach access and the location is great. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you Katie!

Perfect family beach house!

Highly recommended! Great location with a very short walk to the beach. The house has a great layout with plenty of room and spaces for everyone to relax. Outdoor spaces were great as well whether it be the front or back deck or under the house. The house was equipped with anything you need for a stay at the beach with family. If your a family that likes to cook, the kitchen has anything and everything you would need. A great time was had by all!

Cozy Beach House

Waking up to sound of the ocean, seeing the Sun rise from the Atlantic is how each day was for us. Close enough for us to have our Marine son stay with us during his liberty, yet far enough to give him rest from the post. A well laid out house with access to the beach, restaurants, and stores.

The house itself was clean and well stocked. The location was as good as it gets without actually being on the beach. Very short walk to the shore. Owners were fantastic at getting back to us in a timely manner when we had a question. I definitely recommend this house!

A house built for relaxation

Our vacation wouldn't have been complete without having a beautiful house to stay in near the beach, and we were not disappointed. Amazing countertops, spacious rooms, quiet and friendly neighbors, and a washer/dryer made everything feel perfect. The fishing poles and boogey boards in the storage room was the icing on the cake. We will definitely try to rebook this house again. Thank you to our hosts!!

Convenient and quiet

This house offers a quick walk to the beach, nice porches for enjoying the beach and comfortable accommodations. The house offers nice beach equipment (boogie boards, skim boards, beach chairs) as well as a large selection of board games. The outdoor shower was a huge blessing after trips to the beach.
