The host was quick to respond and address any concerns. House was as listed. It is a beautiful property. Close to the beach and convenient to local shops and grocery stores. The downside was that there was a neighbor who was constantly watching my family and sending misinformation about us along with pictures of us outside the property to the host. One instant which was not a big deal. He let me know that we couldn’t be on the dunes. I let him know that we grew up on the beaches and were aware of the dune policy. He then proceeded to send me a pic of my sister and her young daughters sun bathing in their swim suites as “proof”. To say I was livid to know that someone who was blessed to wake up and see another day and instead of enjoying life. Took pictures of my nieces and sister on the beach would be an understatement. Then I was informed that I had a pet in the house but he graciously waived the pet fee since it was a guest. My sister and her family had their own beach house rental that was pet friendly for this very reason and were not staying with us. They only brought their puppy over to meet new family members and were never any closer to the house than the outter part of the driveway and the beach. Other than that the puppy was staying at another property. This experience definitely has left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m just glad I didn’t see those messages until the end of my trip. I was there to celebrate my child’s college graduation and seeing those messages any earlier would’ve definitely ruined an important celebration for my family...and I usually don’t leave reviews. But just so you know. If you decided to stay here there will be someone watching your every move.

Everything about the property was exactly as described in the listing. Perfect location. Owner was very easy to work with.

House was very clean & nice. Amazing location! Highly recommend.

An amazing property with a very hospitable host! Would definitely recommend a stay!

Couldn’t ask for a better house to stay in! View was great, walk to the beach was just a few steps across the street. Within walking distance to a few restaurants.

great location, easy beach access, walking distance to shops and restaurants, sitting on the porch and having an incredible view of the ocean, quiet area, just be prepared for lots of stairs

We loved the beach house and the location. The owners were very nice and accommodating. House was clean and we loved being so close to the beach.

This property gives you everything the owner lists on the VRBO site. Five stars: the location is perfect, less than a mile north of the bridge. Dining, ice cream, coffee, shopping all within walking distance. The beach is just 50 yards from the front of the house. The pool is perfect, a little funky set up but it's a private pool for this property only. The house is immaculate, clean throughout, kitchen well equipped wish there was a bigger coffee maker (Keurig only). The Sunday-Sunday rental period is genius as we had no trouble crossing the bridge on Sunday morning. Four stars: the listing for Savannah Republic is for a 4 bedroom house, it's actually an attached duplex. When we pulled into the address we thought it was a mistake but the pool instructions confirmed the pool belonged to us only. This could have made for an uncomfortable situation, as duplex neighbors had kids but did not ask to use the pool. The owner is super responsive, he responded to emails almost immediately, even though he couldn't rectify the LP gas and internet connection issues. Three Stars: the gas grill is brand new but we had an issue with a leaking LP tank on our 4th day which did not get rectified during our stay. It was an awesome grill that we did use the first part of the week. Two Stars, the internet connectivity was not even marginally good. The Smart TV runs off the wireless router in the unit which continually went offline. We were constantly resetting the router but it never worked for over 2 hours at a time and sometimes was down all night. We used our own cellular hotspot one night. Overall rating is 4 Stars only because of the couple inconveniences. We would stay there again in the future if visiting Surf City.

Beautiful place!

Beautiful place!

Our vacation was great! The property was super clean upon arrival, great location, and overall wonderful experience. Would definitely stay at this property again. Also a great bonus with linen and towels included with the price!!! Highly recommend this property!!

Absolutely will recommend it!

We overall had a wonderful experience. The best part of the home is location, location, location! It was exceptionally clean and we had all the amenities we needed. The pool is clean and easily accessible. The only critique would be make sure you're aware of the non-traditional and very early check out time, 9AM. We would visit Surf City again!

Great property, the beach access very close. Enjoyed the nice pool and beautiful home. Plenty of parking. Just beware of all of the stairs in the house and beach access, although this is expected at the beach. Very great trip!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home in Surf City! Erick was so responsive and easy to communicate with! The house was great, and fit all of us very comfortably. Was so nice to be right next to the beach, and the pool area was so fun and relaxing!! We all agreed it was a perfect getaway for us ND peeps!! 👍😊

Most relaxed Thanksgiving in years. Enjoyed our stay. Great location.

Property was great and just what we needed for a long weekend.

Erick, the host, was wonderful. The property was well stocked and exceptionally clean. Cannot beat the beach view and access across the street and the expansive patio and private pool out back. A wonderful stay! We will definitely be back.

Great

House is beautiful and was so clean at check-in! Beautifully furnished and so well stocked. The view is amazing and acess to the beach is so easy as it is right across the street. TVs were not very user friendly, but we've found that a lot of property owners are going with the smart TV platform so we're trying to get used to it. Just a note, as caution not a negative, there are a lot of steps. Obviously we know it's unavoidable. I only mention it because my Dad is 80 and blind and he had a little difficulty navigating the inside steps as the curve at the top and bottom which make them somewhat narrow. We ended up using the outside steps as much as we could because it was easier for him. Again, only mentioned as a word of caution if you have those in your party who might have difficulty with steps. Definitely wouldn't deter us from renting again as we loved the house and location. The pool area was so nice. A few more lights at night would be nice, but the ones that were there made the area so pretty. We thought the public parking beside the house might be a detriment, but it actually didn't bother us at all. Thank you, Erick, for sharing your beautiful house with us. I hope we have the chance to stay again in the future!

We had a wonderful week long stay in Surf City. The house was very clean and the location was amazing. It was perfect for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. We are already planning on booking again for next year.

I literally cannot say enough amazing things about this property, location and host. My family and I had not had a vacation in over four years and after responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in our home state I was mentally and all forms of exhausted that existed. I am so thankful that we found this amazing place and cannot thank Erik enough for being so wonderful and ensuring that we had the best time. 100/10 recommend and we will for sure be returning in the future.

Awesome beach house! Our family enjoyed our stay and definitely will be back! Vacation was great!!

Beautiful house and location! We had a wonderful week with the beach a few steps away and the pool in the backyard.

We rented two of the owner’s properties for our family reunion beach week, and coordinating with so many people is sometimes a mess, but the owner was phenomenal about helping us and rebooking for next year. Both properties were incredibly clean, and have fantastic views of the ocean. Excellent bathroom set up for a couple of families and wonderful open concept for entertaining. The pool was very clean and well maintained and truly made the trip bearable with little kids!

Glad to stay in this place with my family. My kids had a blast with the location and activities around the area. Property management was very responsive to address all inquiries. Thanks and definitely planning to come back.
