    The house is very convenient to a public beach access. A/C kept the house very cool and each room has a ceiling fan for comfort. Enough space for a family of four to be comfortable. It's an easy walk to center of Surf City for shops, restaurants and boardwalk. We appreciated that the house is pet friendly so we could bring being our dog with us.

    The link on vrbo took me to the wrong place but once we figured it out, it was a nice stay. No beach chairs as listed though, we had to buy our own

    The place was perfect for our little family and covered in porch was wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay. It was close to the beach access and walking distance to all the shops.

    Excellent location. 100 yards to beach and we walked to all Surf City shops. About 1/2 mile away. House was great. We enjoyed our stay. We would go back again. The host let us check in early which was awesome!

    It’s a great location but the back door to screen porch should be fixed my dog ran right out he’s fine. The home was clean but no condiments available no salt or pepper so he sure to buy all you need

    We were able to stay in The Fishbowl while we searched for a permanent home in the area. It was a perfect location and very accessible to great restaurants, local fish markets, coffee shops, and more! We were grateful for our time there, enjoying the sound of the waves and the breeze from the ocean.
