Surf City Vacation Rental house

My extended family and I stayed for a week at Seas the Day in July, 2009. We stay fairly frequently in ocean front beach rentals on the Atlantic and on the Gulf, and have seen many really nice houses.

Seas the Day was perfect. Everything worked!! (and this is pretty unusual) - all the kitchen appliances, the washer/dryer, the air conditioner, the televisions, the showers, etc. Everything in the house was well maintained.

The back deck was perfect for family times. The sleeping arrangement was great for us - four bedrooms on the first level with two full baths (one for each set of two rooms). The two "master" bedrooms on that level exit to the lower deck with a nice exterior shower/changing room, and they share a restroom located between the two bedrooms - one of those bedrooms has a king bed and the other has a queen bed. The other two bedrooms have bunk bets - two sets of two beds in one room and one set of two beds in the other (and that room also has access to the laundry area).

The upper floor has one queen bedroom and a full bath along with a great kitchen, spacious dining room, and a comfortable living room. There is door to the upper deck which has several chairs/benches. Four of the chairs sit on a slightly elevated portion of the deck to give fabulous views of the ocean, which is literally a stones through away. There are separate heating/cooling controls for each floor.

The house is located on a comparatively quiet street, not the main road that goes down the middle of the island. There are many walkers on the road - it's a great place place to take a walk (in addition to the beach).

The location is perfect. The house is about a mile from the center of Surf City, so it's close enough to get to all the restaurants, grocery, etc. quickly, and yet far enough away to be removed from the traffic and noise. The parking areas for the cars are protected behind the house so the sea spray never "gooed" up our car windows all week.

The owner has his own review of the local restaurants in a drawer on the kitchen island and we found his recommendations spot on.

This house was booked solid from April thru October that last I looked, while many of the surrounding houses were vacant - there is a reason! This house is a cut above the others.

So, in summary, the house was perfect for our needs (we had 11 people and one Sheltie). You will not be disappointed here.

Our family stayed at Seas The Day in March 2009. We met our daughter with 4 of her girlfriends who were on spring break from college. We also took our 5th grader and her friend.
The house is large enough to accomodate these type of various age interests. The beds were all comfortable and we loved the large kitchen/family room. The house is beautifully decorated and exceptionally orderly which gives to thinking and reflecting as well.
We have visited Topsial on many occasions and love the quietness of this area.
Thank you. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely.
