Had a great week with family. It was our first time at Surf City. The house was beautiful, in a great location, clean, well stocked kitchen and the music from the local bar down the street was nice to hear as we sat on the front porch or under the house at the grill area and swing. Amy was a gracious host and communicated great. Even left a nice gift on arrival. The local park across the street was a hit with my grandkids! Would definitely recommend Sweet Tea by the Sea.

We met Amy and she was great. The house and location worked wonderful for us. We stayed here with our entire family including our paraplegic sister who is in a wheelchair and the elevator was incredible for her. The house is so close to the beach you are able to walk over. Amazing!

I’ve never rented a place and it be exactly as described …until now! Wow what a wonderful house & location. Communication with Amy before, during, and after was beyond expectation. We didn’t need anything except food and the location to grocery and other great shops & restaurants were within 5 miles. The house was so clean and comfy- we will be back next year! There is a Trailer Bar a few lots down towards the beach, but it was not disturbing at all, in fact we enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to live music a few nights. The music always stopped by 11, so that did not disturb any sleep. We also walked a block over to enjoy Hot Mess Studios- ceramics/pottery creations. We had a blast! Thank you Amy & Bruce for a wonderful rental experience!! We will be back next year!!

We planned a brief trip to our favorite location on the East Coast! Amy did a great job communicating and the property was well equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to enjoy our stay - even toothbrushes in the event we forgot ours.
