Recent Surf City vacation rental reviews

Nice little room for a quick trip away. Loved the ease of access to beach
Jessie J. | Nov 2025
The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to prepare meals. The views are stunning - you can’t get any closer to the ocean! We would book this house again!
Beth D. | Nov 2025
This home was right on the beach, wonderful decks for viewing the ocean. The house needs updates to cabinets and flooring, but nothing that affected our stay. The location was close to shops in surf city, but far enough away that we had a semi private beach!
