Easy Street beach house is the best!
This is probably one of the best vacation rental homes I’ve ever stayed in. It was super clean and very well-kept. It was fully stocked with anything you might need for your vacation. The location was excellent and the view from the decks was amazing. Beds were super comfortable and the linens were excellent quality. There are plenty of bath and beach towels to go around. All of the appliances are in excellent shape and work very well. I would definitely recommend staying at this property and hope to go back again someday.

Excellent Beach Rental Home!
We recently had the pleasure of enjoying a second stay at "The Big Easy," a delightful beach rental that has quickly become our go-to spot for a tranquil getaway. Situated just across from the beach, its location is unbeatable, offering the serenity of the ocean at your doorstep. What's more, it's conveniently located a mere 5 minutes from downtown Surf City, allowing easy access to a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. One of the highlights of "The Big Easy" is undoubtedly the hospitality provided by Jody, the host. Jody's attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for guests' comfort make the stay exceptionally pleasant. It's rare to encounter such a dedicated host, and Jody certainly stands out as one of the best we've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. The property itself boasts comfortable beds ensuring a good night's sleep. The neighborhood's quiet ambiance contributes to the peaceful experience, allowing you to fully relax and unwind. Whether you're seeking a serene retreat or an adventurous beach holiday, "The Big Easy" offers the perfect balance of comfort, location, and exceptional hosting. Our family and pups are already looking forward to our next stay!

A White (sandy) Christmas!
My husband, sister, parents and in laws stayed at The Big Easy and it was absolutely perfect. The house is around the corner from a public beach access point, and has ocean views from both decks. The layout is spacious and gave us all enough breathing room to have our own spaces while also having large public rooms to come together in. We had one of the most relaxing holidays we have had in a while just walking on the beach, cooking in the massive kitchen and doing puzzles and games at night. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. All the beds were comfortable and the upstairs additional living space was so nice to have; we had some incredible sunrises and dolphin spotting from the upper deck. We will be back!

A Most Amazing Home!
We enjoyed our stay immensely! We’ll be back because we need a do-over! 😊 This home is decorated beautifully, not cluttered, the beds were comfortable, and since we had rain most of our stay there was a lovely covered deck to hang out on, tvs everywhere and a well appointed kitchen. Finding a dog friendly home this nice was a Bonus! Communication with the liaison and the owner was excellent and check-in/check-out was a breeze!

Best rental ever!
I wish I could give this 10 stars! Everything was PERFECT. The location is amazing, 2nd row and a short walk to the beach. The owners supply everything. We've stayed in well-stocked rentals before but this place puts them all to shame! And not just a bunch of old beat up junk. Everything was really nice! There was tons of space for the 6 of us (we were supposed to have 8) and our dog. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Lots of living/hang out space. Kitchen fully stocked. Everything seemed new and fresh and clean. And the house was so beautifully decorated! The property manager texted me just after 7 the morning of our arrival to let us know the house was ready and we could go anytime, and on check out day she said there wasn't a renter that day and we could stay longer if we'd like! Unheard of! I created a VRBO folder called "Must go back" for this house. Thank you so much!

Like staying at your best friend's, BEAUTIFUL beach house
The house is gorgeous, but more important to me, it is CLEAN! It was stocked with so many essentials, it felt like staying at your best friend’s house. Our family enjoyed the comfortable outdoor furniture (not grimy, rusty, or falling apart, but cushioned, clean, and inviting) and views of the ocean made the spacious decks one of our favorite spots. I have never slept so well in a vacation home. Our top three favorite things about the house were the outdoor shower, beautiful kitchen, and playground a short stroll from the house.

Great place to stay!
This was our second year staying at the Big Easy and it was just as good as our first. The kitchen has everything you need. Just bring what you want to cook, and even then it has a lot of spices and ingredients to prepare your meals. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and toys are available for use. Great views as well! Easy access to the beach and close to several restaurants and shops. It's hard to beat this place!

Amazing, CLEAN property
This is a fantastic home for a family vacation! The home has all you could possibly need, including so many beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards (these were a hit for the kids). Beds and linens are very comfy and the home is extremely clean. I am a complete neat-freak and often prefer hotels to rental properties because many times, even with 5 stars, I worry about cleanliness of rentals when it comes down to the details. This is the cleanest VRBO I have stayed in, from the outdoor furniture, fresh bath mats, and clean cupboards…..I cannot recommend this home enough!
