Gone Fishin’ is an adorable beach cottage!! Just steps from the sand and sea!! Even though it is small, it was very well appointed! We had a wonderful vacation!
Jennifer D. | May 2025
This is our second time staying here and have already booked again. This home is well cared for and it proudly shows from the owners and the Vacasa team. Amber checked in to ensure we arrived safe and reminded us that the team was available for anything that would arise. The views are amazing, home was clean, beds were comfortable, linens were fresh, kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the dog bowls to keep on the deck and enclosed porch. Keep up the great work! We are always sad to leave, yet cannot wait to return again this year!

From the moment we pulled up to the Sand Castle Sunrise we loved it. Once we stepped inside the wife and myself knew that we were going to have a great week. Master bedroom with attached master bathroom was my wife's favorite with the soaking tub, stand alone shower and tiled floors. The views from the bedroom balcony looking over the beach and our own walkway to the beach were awesome with the shade provided by the upper deck. The view from the upper deck was to die for being able to see down the beach to and past Surf City Fishing Pier and north up the beach a long way. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The working ice machine was a plus. The living room has very comfortable with the gorgeous views out the glass sliding doors and the 2 picture windows. We had a great stay and plan to rent the unit again.
