We have stayed at this property multiple times. It’s got a great location, well stocked kitchen, very well maintained, attractively decorated, and the hosts are the best. It has a nice dock for fishing as well. We have stayed in two other properties in Surf City and this is by far our favorite.

Beautiful property in every way!! Great location close to amenities yet quiet and private. Outstanding views all day long. Loved being able to fish right off the dock and paddle in the sound! House was super clean and cozy, kitchen was well-stocked which we appreciated because we cooked our own meals a lot. We will definitely stay here again! Thanks Jim!
