Recent Surf City guest reviews

We absolutely loved our stay. We were in town for our wedding and used this place for our bridal party to stay at. It had close beach access and plenty of amenities in the house. There were ample parking spots for multiple people driving from various locations. Often times, beach rentals only provide 2 or 3 spots. Not 6. Great views and a comfortable set up. Everything you could need was located in the kitchen. We did have to reach out to guest services as there was no hand soap or garbage bags present in the unit, but they were quick to remedy the issue. Would definitely recommend.

The Hanover house was larger than expected. There were two pull out couches, when only one was listed, which was great. The deck had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the sounds & view of the ocean. It fit my family very well. The location was overall good- plenty to do in a short walking distance. The public access directly next door can get noisy and draw in many people. Overall our stay was very good.
