Recent Surf City vacation rental reviews

If you're looking for an affordable, dog-friendly oceanfront home with great outdoor space, this is it! We are a party of two with our beloved fur-baby and we did not want to stay in a tiny single room or condo with partial view. Trying not to break the bank, it was challenging to find an oceanfront home in central Surf City/Topsail, that offered a large deck and an open family room/Kitchen. I read all the reviews, realize the house was dated and that I may need to spot clean to my liking, but the price was right, so I booked the Turtle Point home and am happy I did! Pro's: LOCATION & PRICE. Centrally located and the beach is in great shape at this location. Tucked off the main busy road, it was quiet and safer for walking the dog. This home has great bones including a large composite upper deck off the main family room. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was great in the shower. Grateful that there was an outdoor hose/shower head, direct access to beach from the lower deck, washer/dryer and we loved the rocking chairs. Fantastic direct ocean views from the large windows/slider in the family room and Western views from the smaller deck on the front side of the home. Now the CONS... I am particular as far as how I clean, what I bring for comfort and knowing that this is a dog-friendly home that hosts many guests non-stop. This home is in demand year-round, so it's got to be challenging to give Management and the cleaning service time to do a deep clean in between guests, but it really needs a deep clean and a few updates. I recommend bringing an extra step out bath towel or two if that is important to you. I always pack extra hangers, house shoes/slippers, favorite wine glasses/ TERVIS/YETI, back up sheets/dish towels/extra soap/laundry supplies/Clorex wipes as I tend to clean more than the avg. guest, but that's me and I expect it & do it knowing it makes me feel better. ***PAY ATTENTION to the check-in rules regarding the "Anderson door" - how it unlocks and how you need to lift up the handle etc. Also note that you can easily get locked out unless you undo the auto-lock feature after the front door has been locked. Test the door handle before shutting the front door as you can easily lock yourself out. For the value, this house is great. Just know it's not going to be the Taj Mahal, but it was just what we needed for the price and we were happy we made Turtle Point our home away from home. Cheers and happy vacation home shopping!

This was our second visit to this property and we are looking forward to going back again. We had the family come in from all over and everyone LOVED this place again. Great size for a large family gathering and every room had its own bathroom.
