Awesome property
Great stay here with our young family. Close to everything in Surf City so we had tons of options for nearby spots for dinners. Floor plan was perfect for us and amazing, unobstructed views from most of the rooms. The unit was very clean when we arrived and beds comfortable. Only complaint is the ability to stream any form of live TV; wanted to watch football but logging into multiple apps through our accounts was not allowed on the TV. Had it not been football season we would’ve never noticed.

Super duper on the beach!
If you want a lovely house right on the water this is the place for you. Very clean, has everything you need, comfortable beds, 2 decks, quiet street, stairs right to the beach…. the whole package. If you have trouble climbing stairs this is not the place for you, it is 3 stories….lots of stairs! We loved this place and think you will too!

The property overall was pretty good. We did arrive to find hair balls in the master bath shower and sink. We called the property manager and didn't hear from them for 2 days. It is a nice house and is well located. Unfortunately we also had rats running around on the deck and the ground below.

Perfect Quiet Beach Getaway
My family enjoyed an amazing week together at Keeping it Salty in Surf City, NC! This was the perfect, beachfront quiet getaway. The house was perfect for our 3 generations - plenty of space for everyone to be together and enough privacy when we needed it. Beyond the calm coastal decor, the house and kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. For as amazing as the actual home is - the view, decks and beach access were even more spectacular. We spent nearly our entire week relaxing on the beach, swimming in the ocean and searching for beach treasures. It was perfect! When a small issue arose with the dryer, the management company was quick to respond. They sent a temporary fix immediately and had the repair completed in less than 24 hours. We appreciated that the entire experience was swift and stress-free.

Property is right on the beach. Walk out your door and into the ocean. Major advantage with kids because you can take less down with you/come up for lunch vs. haul everything.

Everything was wonderful, from check in till we left. We had Amazing weather which was a plus but the beach was beautiful, the neighbors were friendly and the area in general was very nice. We've been vacationing at the beach for 20+ years now and this was by far our favorite beach house. We will definitely be booking again in the future.
