Sandy Crack - A 'side-road' surf cottage. EV-ready.
About this house rental
Situated in Surf City, this attractive house for £179 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. [Contactless Check-in and Check-out] A well appointed single level, 1,300 sqft cottage, a little over 100 yards from quiet beach access. This open, 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home is on a quaint and quiet side street lined by old oak trees. The wooded surroundings of the home provides great opportunities to see foxes, frogs, raccoons and deer many months of the year. You are far enough away from the road to not hear cars traveling up and down the island. Most times you'll only hear the sound of waves hitting the beach. Very little ambient light from other houses or street lights, so lots of great star viewing. Bring your EV! A 240VAC/50A, NEMA 14-50 outlet is available in the parking area for you to use for charging your vehicle. A charger is not supplied so bring your preferred travel charger with you. The beach area in front of the access point is not crowded because of the lack of nearby 'house density' or public Access. It is a quiet area with lots of families. Only 1.5 miles from downtown Surf City and the pier. The Kitchen is fully appointed with lots of flatware for serving great meals. Includes a coffee maker, food processor, toaster oven, crock pot, blender and a myriad of pots of pans for cooking a wonderful meal. There is bar seating at the kitchen counter for 4 and a custom farmhouse dining table that will seat 6.

Thanks Ian

Home was in a nice quiet street. The home was in spectacular condition and very clean. There were very clear information sheets inside the home for everything you could think of. Supple amount of beach chairs and other outdoor items including charcoal, lighter fluid, and a lighter for the charcoal grill that was provided for use. We did not have to shop for anything other than our groceries for the week! It was an easy walk to the beach access. Stress free keyless check in and out. Information was exchanged with the owner easily and he was very responsive to any questions. We enjoyed our stay!

This was a great house, exactly as pictured. There were Pros and Cons but mostly Pros.
Pros: GREAT location, so close to the beach, nice quiet street, house was as pictured, plenty of space for my husband and I, my Mother in Law, and our small pup. Well equipped kitchen, comfy furniture and beds. Communication with owner was fantastic.
Cons: Definitely need a new shower curtain in master bath, and it would have been nice if the lawn had been mowed. The grass was as tall, if not taller, than our little 10lb pup. A little step up in the cleaning would be helpful (dog hair on and under furniture, behind TV, etc) but it wasn't a big deal at all.
Again, the location alone was enough to give this 5 stars!

My wife and I stayed here for a week and everything was perfect. The walk to the private access to the beach is a breeze and everything was as advertised. Being able to bring our dog with us was a huge plus. The island is very dog friendly.

Beautiful Perfection
My family loves topsail. The beaches are excellent for everything. Sandy crack was an easy quick walk from the beach. Sandy crack was furnished for family comfort and relaxing. The kitchen had everything you could ask for. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The deck with cafe lighting and cushioned seating was great for hanging out with our friends and family! We will definitely return for vacation again!

Great week with our dogs
Really liked the house. My adult sons loved that outdoor shower. Beds were very comfortable (have had problems with that with other rentals). Very cozy family room with enough room for us and our two medium size dogs. My only complaint is that the road is not paved, so I had to walk my poor bicycle to the main road before starting my ride (an issue only true cyclists would understand). Already booked the house for next year!

One of the best!
My family and I recently spent a relaxing week at this property. The house is clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed for anyone’s vacation. It’s located on a private lane with only a very short walk to the beach. Perfect vacation spot for my small family. Just delightful!

Our family had a wonderful trip. We have absolutely no complaints. The house and location were just perfect. We would definitely book it again!😊

The house and location were beautiful. We really enjoyed the quaint lane leading to the property; just a short walk from the beach. It was quiet, surrounded by trees, and very peaceful. The beach wasn’t too crowded at all, and the outdoor shower and hose were perfect for those extra sandy days. A lot of reviews mention that the house was very clean, but unfortunately for us, something must have gone wrong with the cleaning before our arrival. The floors were very dirty, there were food remnants still left in the sink, and surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen needed a wipe down. I contacted Ian, and he responded immediately. He helped me locate the vacuum and cleaning supplies in the house and offered a partial refund for the cleaning fee straight away. Even though I was disappointed to start off our vacation with cleaning and vacuuming, we really appreciated Ian as a host promptly responding to the situation so we could make the best of it and try to enjoy our time.

The house was super clean, Ian was friendly and helpful, and the location itself in the area was great. Only complaint is we found Surf City wasn’t our vibe. It is very much a “surfer dude” vibe which we should have known by the name and deeper research. We are more of your meat and cheese with a good bottle of wine couple. Regardless, for the type of location, everything was fantastic.

My husband, dog, and I stayed the weekend at this wonderful little oasis. We could tell immediately once we walked in that this cottage had been well loved and cared for. It had everything we needed, was clean as could be, and very comfortable! It was great that the beach access was conveniently located and the street the house is on is in a private cul-de-sac. Thanks for the variety of dvds. We watched Thelma and Louise ( a fave of ours) and relaxed on the back deck during the late afternoon sunset. We will certainly come here again-thanks Ian!,,

great location- easy weekend away
We decided to stay at Sandy Crack for a quick weekend away. We thought the layout to the property was very spacious and the interior seemed to be renovated recently. We were particularly surprised that you could hear the ocean from the back deck. We also found the beach to be a closer than we expected. It was an easy walk to the beach and then in town to grab breakfast and lunch.
The owner was very responsive and easy to deal with.
All in all, a perfect weekend away.

Descent comfortable place
The Sandy Crack is clean, comfortable and Ian is proactive and responsive. During our stay there was a furnace issue. Ian reached out to us, before it got cold enough for us to even realize and hand an HVAC guy out within the hour. Totally out of his control but handled promptly and professionally. Over all place is great, pics are accurate, and pics are accurate. We’d stay again

Loved our stay
This was our first time in the area and we loved our first stay. It’s a small walk to the beach. The house itself is clean and very welcoming. I love that a lot of sunlight comes in through all the windows. The check in process was so simple and the owner communicates so well and in a timely manner. The master bedroom bed was a little uncomfortable for me, but I’m not a fan of memory foam beds. Overall, I would stay again.

Are you looking for a relaxing and quiet getaway near the beach? If so, stop your search, this is it. The place is exactly as described in the listing and then some. The house is clean and has the beach cottage feel. It is dog friendly but don’t worry, no wet stinky dog smell here. This place is well taken care of. It has great lighting, really fast internet, comfortable beds, everything worked, and we felt really comfortable as soon as we stepped inside. The house is on a gravel street with several other homes but it was still very quiet. If you’re outside you can hear the waves crashing on the shore. The beach is one of the most secluded and cleanest I have experienced in quite some time, and it is super close to the house. We had a great time and did not want to leave. The perfect de-stress vacation.
