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!

This was the perfect house for our family of 10! It was clean, conveniently located, nicely appointed and well-insulated from outside noises. The grandkids loved having the bunk room for cousin time. The baby items and gates made life easier with an infant and 2 toddlers. The close access to the beach was fantastic. The beach towels provided were much appreciated. We loved the many available outside spaces. While it was too hot for the hot tub, everyone enjoyed the salt water pool, slide and outdoor shower. Check-in and -out were seamless. Thank you for allowing us to use your fabulous home!

Excellent Family Vacation Home

From the minute we arrived we all noticed the amount of thought that went into setting up this home for families to rent. A fully stocked kitchen made family dinners easy. The washing stations and outdoor shower helped to keep the house free from sand. The pool and hot tub was a plus after a beach day. The outdoor porches were not only comfortable but each one offered a different view. The location was perfect for a short walk or bike ride to town. Eric stayed in contact throughout our visit making sure we didn’t need anything. Overall experience was exceptional. Definitely would recommend to family and friends who are looking for a perfect relaxing vacation.

A beautiful home and amazing pool very close to the ocean

This is one of the absolute best beach houses we have ever stayed at in the twenty years we have been renting houses. It was very clean, decorated beautifully and the pool is very large. The kids loved the slide and it occupied them for hours. The front porches and back porch are so nice to sit and relax on while taking in the kids playing by the pool or the scenery of the ocean and beach road. The hosts are very responsive and easy to coordinate with. We would highly recommend and definitely come back!

House was perfect. Very clean. Great location. The kids loved the pool with the slide. Having two bikes to ride was wonderful , along with several beach chairs. The owners were very easy to work with and replied back within 24 hours. Even though we’ve been used to staying on the beach, the house was a very short walk to the beach. We will definitely be staying there again!!!

Wonderful Beach House

This was our first visit to Surf City and this property had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The ocean was still pretty cold, so we spent a lot of our time in the beautiful pool and hot tub. Very close and easy to get to the beach. The home was extremely clean, organized and comfy. My whole family enjoyed our stay and we hope to visit again next year!

Family getaway

We were a family of 11 on school spring break. Three couples and 5 kids. The house is well equipped and well maintained. Super clean. Modern and updated. The layout was perfect for us. Grandparents on first floor, parents and grandkids on second floor with their own tv room and beautiful porch, and two full baths. The property owners were quick to respond to any questions. The beach is right across the street and there are many shops and restaurants in the areas, some within walking distance. A company comes to maintain the pool twice during a one week stay. As a family with children, we enjoyed the beach, the pool, the local playground, the Turtle hospital (buy tickets on line in advance), the beach without waves bayside for fishing and swimming with little ones. The property is well equipped and you don’t need to bring very much with you as there are baby gates, laundry, and beach toys. Just show up and have fun. We did find a few sharks teeth on the beach, were able to fly kites, and building sand castles. Local gift shops and dollar stores sell everything you might have forgotten, so we loved the stress free ability to just show up, relax and enjoy..As a world traveler and RCI exchanger, I was very impressed with this property and felt there was a lot of value in its rental. I highly recommend this location.

Fabulous Surf City Beach Home

This spacious home was well stocked with everything we needed. The pool with the slide was a HUGE hit with our whole family! Our almost two year old granddaughter loved playing on the “platform step” in the pool. There were retractable safety gates on the living room level going up and down the stairs, keeping our little ones safe. An upstairs closet had two additional safety gates so we could also block the stairs on the second floor going down. The safety gate and door alarm leading to the pool was added security for anyone with small children. The beach cart allowed us to easily transport all of our gear in one trip across the street to the nearby ocean access. There was plenty of parking space on the property. The multiple decks on both sides of the house offered great views. The home is nicely located within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. There was easy and quick communication with the owners. The house is perfect for families not traveling with dogs.
