Surf City visit

My wife and I had to make a trip on short notice for a funeral and we were very fortunate to be able to stay here. The vibe of Surf City is very relaxed and Amber’s house was a perfect place to come back to at the end of the day. It was very clean and the location was great for walking on the beach or going into town. Thank you very much, Amber, for your hospitality and the great value staying at your house provides.

Oh! We do like to be beside the seaside!

The property Poppy's Place is really cute! It is very well maintained and space is used really well. At the front the lounge/dining area leads onto a deck which has views of the sea and provided a great space for our dogs to sit and watch the world go by (they loved it). It is less than a five minute walk to the beach entrances both to left and right. The beaches were lovely, quiet and clean. We were made to feel very comfy in the home, there was everything we needed.I would definitely recommend and we are looking to book a second visit this Spring!

We loved Poppys Place!

Poppys Place is a beautiful home that was set up perfectly for two couples and two kiddos (although four kiddos would have also fit just as nicely). It is a beautiful home, very clean, and close to the beach as well as many fun areas, stores and places to eat. The owner was kind and responsive as well. We really loved our stay!

We came with our dog. We liked how they had the dog bowls ready for us. They also had muffins and a welcome card. Place is quiet, which we LOVED! The walking distance to the beach is like 2 minutes! Loved the bikes! If we decide to vacation down there again we will definitely rent out Popi’s place again! ❤️ Thank you

Amazing Beach House

Very clean, well maintained home. Great place to stay with family and pups! Very spacious, well stocked and good location. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay! Loved that it provided linens, towels, beach towels and beach chairs!! Special touches for pups too (dog bowls/towel and bed) These special perks were so much appreciated!!! Thank you!!!.

Adorable, super clean, great location!

This was our 4 year coming to the island! The house was just what the pictures showed! Everything was provided even though we brought paper goods to help replenish. The house was very clean and the host is super responsive and helpful! It took a couple times for me to figure out the entry lock but needed the key inside to fix the issue! The only thing I would agree with on past reviews is the cactus issue in the yard. You can use the back yard at all due to the mini cactus that you will be picking out of you or your pet every time.I would recommend this house to anyone! Thanks for a great stay!

Best VRBO I've ever rented.

We stayed for 6 days and it was amazing. Amber was very open with us and made it a completely stress free check in. We showed up and were informed the garage door was having issues. Within twenty minutes she had someone there to fix it. On top of how easy it was to check in, it's in a beautiful area. Your about 1 block from public beach access. The house was just as described and pictures do it justice. Very clean as well. Would 100% recommend.

Poppy's Place

Overall nice house. 2nd Row from the beach, with a public beach access a little way down from the house. You can still see the beach a little from the front deck and can definitely hear it. We didn't use any of the stuff in the garage because we were in Surf City to visit family without having to stay with them so can't speak to the quality of any of that. The bathroom hand soap containers had the old "extend the life of the soap by adding water until you're basically washing your hands with nothing but water" trick but we bought our own and didn't worry about it.
