Family getaway

We had a lovely stay at Surf City with my huaband and I and kids with friends. The house was clean and nicely decorated. The views of the sunrise were amazing and the ocean visible with large windows in every room facing it. We had our dog and were able to take him out on beach walks which he really enjoyed, then had a nice confined area he could use for potty breaks at the bottom of the stairs. The kitchen had all I needed to make several meals and was clean. There are a lot of stairs, but if have the elevator can work around that. As it was off season we did not awim too much in the ocean, but there is a good outdoor shower too! The stay was very nice and would recommend!

Wonderful house and location

This was a large house right on the beach. You could not ask for a better location. Easy access to the sand with uninterrupted views of the ocean, yet walking distance to all Surf City has to offer. We went with some of our adult kids and our infant through early grade school grandkids. There was plenty of room and something to do for everyone.

Great location

Our family of 10 ranging in ages from 8-80 had a great time. Excellent location. The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The elevator was a plus for my 80 year old parents and to get heavy bags and groceries upstairs. We appreciated the little doggie area so our dogs didn’t have to get Sandy when needing to use the bathroom. Very comfortable. Only thing missing was a bbq. Would stay again.

They thought of everything!

This property was amazing! It was impeccably clean, and the location was perfect. The house was tastefully decorated, the beds were all comfortable, and even the layout of the bedrooms was perfect to accommodate our family. The common area was comfortable, with plenty of seating. We spent much of our time at the beach, with easy access from the multilevel deck, but we also enjoyed movies on the multiple large screen TVs and enjoyed some friendly competition at the ping pong table. My grandsons went crazy when they saw the big tub of beach toys, and the adults loved the quality of beach chairs for our use. The elevator came in handy to get luggage and groceries up to the main 3rd floor. This property was all that we asked for and more. I highly recommend!

Winning Shore Bet

Clean, well-maintained, spacious, and well-equipped home on the beach. Adequate parking for 4 cars on the driveway. We loved the sea views from both levels and the convenient location for easy shopping. The welcome kit was super helpful as was the Blue Anchor team. Kitchen had enough pots and pans for all our cooking. A few more coffee cups would have been even better - but then we were 9 of us guzzling tea and coffee all the time. 😃

Family Vacation

Our family had such a memorable week. From the pre-booking questions to our final vacation day, all of our contacts from Blue Anchor Property Management were quick to respond, attentive, and very helpful. The property was very clean, cozy, and fully equipped with all we would need for a fun, relaxing, and stress-free vacation on the beach. The home elevator was certainly a bonus as we have a paralyzed dog that gets around on wheels. We made so many wonderful memories and hope to be able to return to make some more in this beautiful house. We would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Beach House

Our family had a wonderful time on our beach vacation. The house was everything we wanted in a beach house. There was plenty of seating, the beds were comfortable, the house was stocked with everything we could think of needing, decor was very pretty, I could go on and on. The house location could not of been more perfect, besides the amazing beach views, it was a short walk to the majority of the stores and restaurants. We had a great stay and no issues, we did ask for an additional set of bathroom towels and they were quick and friendly in getting it to us. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this lovely home!

Great place for our April vacation

This place was amazing! Location was awesome as it was close to restaurants, the pier and great place on the beach. The house was very dog friendly, they had a place for the dogs to potty while using the deck to walk around and not get out. The house was very clean, well decorated, loved that it had a washer and dryer, kids bunk room had toys and games as well. We did have an issue with the keyless entry, property manager had a solution within an hour and gave us a giftcard for the inconvenience. Overall, I highly recommend this place!
