Super Convenient!
We stayed for a week in mid-May and it was a lovely time of year to go - still warm enough to enjoy a few good beach days without the crowds. The house is so conveniently located just a few minutes off the Surf City bridge, and therefore is really close to larger grocery stores which was awesome. In the past we’ve stayed much farther south and it’s kind of a hassle to go to the store. The ocean being steps away is a game changer, and the area is beautiful. As suggested, make sure there isn’t a renourishment project happening during your stay or you could be looking out at a bunch of huge trucks. Keyless entry to the home is nice. The first thing we noticed when we opened the door to the house is that it had a strong dog pee smell. I get it - it’s a pet friendly rental. But the bedrooms having carpet certainly doesn’t help if you’re going to allow pets. Needless to say, our dog spent the first 15 minutes of our visit smelling every square inch of carpet in the place. We got some candles and tried to air the place out and it seemed to help some. The screen door from the primary bedroom onto the deck had a little learning curve. It wasn’t super easy to open, probably a relatively quick fix though. All that said, the house was well suited for our group and we really enjoyed our stay! I would book again if the carpet was replaced! 🙈
