Our happy place was exceptional! Ideal location, comfortable, clean, and plenty to do for the kids. I highly recommend this stay and hope to come again.
Have stayed here multiple times and enjoy it tremendously. All the amenities, fantastic location, and easy engagement with the owner. Highly recommend.
LOVE this property. The view from the front porch is “ocean front”. Plenty of seating on the front and back porches, under the front porch (with hammock) and in back yard. The outdoor seating provided shade. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our dog to romp and play. The “play room” under the house was amazing! Game tables, outdoor games, beach toys galore, bicycles!!! New washer and dryer! There was a hose near the steps to rinse off sandy feet and sandy dogs! And a small tray by the front door was great to dip little feet before going inside. The linens smelled fresh! We loved the bunk bed “kids room” and so did the kids! Plenty of comfortable seating in the living room and kitchen. Loved the large shower in the hall bathroom! Just can’t say enough wonderful things about this property.
Comfortable, well stocked, clean home with great ocean views. Quaint screened in porch area that is perfect for sipping coffee in the morning, or watching it rain in the afternoons. It was truly a wonderful visit.
Our Happy Place did not disappoint! Everything about our stay was perfect - the view, the sound of the ocean, the space, and the amenities! The check-in and check-out process was smooth. The whole experience couldn't have been better!
Perfect location with a nice home away from home. The downstairs large shed with the beach necessities was super convenient for our group. The outdoor shower and chairs were icing on the cake. Everything you need for a convenient vacation at the beach.
Loved this property! Quiet and convenient to beach access. Beautiful view, lots of fun things to do at the house. Would love to rent again in the future.
The house is in a great location being so close to the beach and several restaurants in Surf City and met our needs very nicely for a weekend family getaway! The game room downstairs was perfect for both the kids and adults as it unfortunately rained a lot on the weekend we were there. The house was very comfy stay and we enjoyed our more than expected time inside more due to the comfortable furnishings. Would definitely stay again!
This was our second stay here for New Year's and we had an awesome time once again. The house is perfectly located between the bars and the beach! The downstairs rec room is great for hanging out.
The house was in a perfect location. It was clean but could use some TLC. The bathroom off the master is the tiniest I’ve ever seen and I wasn’t comfortable in the shower, but I was able to use the nice big shower in the other bathroom. The owner was so easy to communicate with.
Great place to stay! Awesome screened in porch with view of the ocean. Lots of seating in family room and the porch. And dining table. Great fenced in area for our dogs. Very close to public beach access.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Surf City. The home was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed watching the storm out on the ocean our first night and the full moon rise the second night. The kitchen is well stocked and where we made some delicious meals. We hope to return soon.
October is our favorite time at the beach. We usually pick a different dog friendly place each year. Clint's place is now our favorite and we haven't stayed anywhere that we liked better than "Our Happy Place". The view is just as good as ocean front. The screened in porch is where we stayed most of the time. All the beds were comfortable and the living room furniture was comfortable as well. The beach access was really close by. This place has everything we needed and more. We are already planning our next trip here. Thanks Clint for being the best host ever!!
We had a great time at Clint's place. The house was comfortable, including the beds. It was more spacious than the pictures show which was nice. The screened in porch was a great place to hang out and look at the ocean. The beach access was super easy and the location was very quiet. Clint was also very responsive and all the little touches were nice, such as the beach equipment. We would stay again for sure.
Everything was as advertised. The screened in porch overlooking the ocean was a favorite place for morning coffee and meals with the family. The house was well furnished, clean and very comfortable with everything available that we needed.
The host was responsive to questions. I would highly recommend this place. It is a “ Happy Place,” indeed!
