Best House by the Beach!

Our stay here was so amazing. Our check in process was great and we were able to check in a lot earlier than expected to spend the day by the beach. There were tons of additional perks included that we got to enjoy like all the beach gear and a wagon. Jim even set up an extension cord for us to charge our electric car. On top of all of that we were allowed to stay late into the last day because no one was checking in after us. Would highly recommend this spot!!

Quick Trip

Property was perfect for 3 travelers. Communication and hospitality from the host made this a quick and easy stay. We even had a smores kit for a little treat. We stayed here so we could cook our own meals and it had everything we needed to grill and make a nice breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

We came to visit with our daughter whom lives in the area. We brought our youngest daughter and two friends who have never been to the area. It was the perfect space we needed with a very short walk to the beach and nice to walk to surf city and activities. Will definitely stay again.

Great place plus great location!

This VRBO has everything you need for your stay. Super clean, comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen essentials, games, chairs, convenient location. Beach access #12 is right across the quiet street. Less than a mile walk down the street to shops and the bridge. Jim is quick to respond if you need anything. Would highly recommend this place!

2 Minutes From Beach + Fully Stocked

My friends and I had a fabulous stay at Jim & Edna's home! There was plenty of space for us to spread out and we enjoyed having access to beach essentials like chairs & a wagon. There's also an inflatable pool in the front yard that we enjoyed relaxing in when not at the beach (public access is just across the street). I'll definitely be staying here next time I visit!

Clean home, close to the beach

My family and I had a wonderful stay on N. Shore Drive. The apartment was very spacious for 3 adults and 2 dogs. Only steps from the beach (access is literally across the street). Very clean and quiet. Jim made himself very available and was very friendly when we saw him on the property multiple times throughout our stay doing maintenance outside.

A beach condo packed with fun!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at the 4 Sea Monkeys. Our host was fantastic, and he left out many beach toys for our kids and water balloons too. This condo offers all the beach amenities needed, is very close to public beach access, and is within walking distance of everything. I highly recommend staying here!! We will be coming back next summer!

Awesome!!

This place has just everything you would want in a beach rental. The host Jim, is excellent to work with, and goes beyond to accommodate and communication is excellent. If you're not ready to spend big money for something right ON the beach, this is certainly the next best thing, with being right across the street and literally a minute walk and you're on the beach. Plenty of room in the house, plenty of extras for the beach and other activities, nice quiet area, but just blocks from shops, food and anything else you need. Just a fantastic stay and hope its available for our next trip.
