The hosts were accessible and responsive, and communicated clearly for check in and check out. The property itself was very clean, and stocked nicely with a few staples to make the first day or two easier. Beach was a very short walk down the boardwalk which was absolutely perfect and it’s a nice walking distance to Surf City if you feel like a stroll. Would absolutely stay in this house again! I had 6 kids traveling with me, and we all fit very comfortably without being too crowded. All in all, a lovely vacation in a lovely beach house!

Property was very well taken care of & well appointed. We enjoyed the window options for ocean views & being able to hear the crashing waves. Our week was sunny & beautiful & got better as the week went on as the wind gusts died down. We enjoyed a full moon with one of our grandson’s & taking pictures. House was furnished with clean linens & well stocked for cooking meals.

We had a wonderful time at the Nauti Surf Shack and Surf City Beach. It was perfect for our family of 6 Adults and 3 children. The owners provided everything we needed in a beautifully decorated and clean home. We really appreciated the thoughtful additions of family games, baby gates, and well-stocked kitchen! Easily accessible property with ample parking and literally 40 steps to the sand. The owners communicated well prior to our stay and were amazing in their response and support throughout the week. We hope to book next year!

Plenty of room for nine of us, adults and kids. Very comfortable and clean home with easy beach access. The covered carport and outdoor shower was a plus too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
