A well appointed single level, 1,300 sqft cottage, a little over 100 yards from quiet beach access. This open, 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home is on a quaint and quiet side street lined by old oak trees. The wooded surroundings of the home provides great opportunities to see foxes, frogs, raccoons and deer many months of the year. You are far enough away from the road to not hear cars traveling up and down the island. Most times you'll only hear the sound of waves hitting the beach. Very little ambient light from other houses or street lights, so lots of great star viewing.

Bring your EV! A 240VAC/50A, NEMA 14-50 outlet is available in the parking area for you to use for charging your vehicle. A charger is not supplied so bring your preferred travel charger with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well behaved dogs are permitted with an extra charge. Please select the Pet add-on at checkout.

The beach area in front of the access point is not crowded because of the lack of nearby 'house density' or public Access. It is a quiet area with lots of families. Only 1.5 miles from downtown Surf City and the pier.

The Kitchen is fully appointed with lots of flatware for serving great meals. Includes a coffee maker, food processor, toaster oven, crock pot, blender and a myriad of pots of pans for cooking a wonderful meal.

    A very nice place close to the beach. There are some small details we would have changed if it were our place (with regard to the linens and other miscellaneous stuff) but all in all we enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and mellow.

    Never have I stayed at a beach house before that felt so much like home! This house was so comfortable for us and also for being pet friendly was extremely clean! No pet smells or a stray dog hair in sight. We brought our family dog with us but also have high standards of cleanliness and this house exceeded our expectations!

    We loved staying here! The host was very kind and communicated perfectly throughout the reservation and rental process. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Our dog enjoyed being there with us too. It was a very short walk to the beach and we had plenty of space. We would love to stay here again!

    We had a great time. The house was perfect for our stay, very comfortable and clean. The beach was very nice, loved being so close! Wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait to visit again.

    Our second year in a row staying at Sandy Crack and we couldn't love it more! Ian is such a thoughtful and amazing host! Clear communication, clean, lots of homey touches to make our stay amazing. Easy and quick access to the beach with a private beach access. Quiet road with nice neighbors. Just such a gem of a place. Everything you need in the kitchen, some added touches like books and movies, comfy beds, a super comfy couch. I could go on and on! A very special mention that Ian and his family left a very thoughtful card (and gift card to our favorite spot - Shaka Taco) in rememberable of our dog who passed away suddenly just a week before our trip. We couldn't believe this kind gesture and it brought tears to my partners eyes. We are still in awe of how nice this small but amazingly kind gesture was! Sandy Crack and Ian are truly incredible!!

    Beach house was very clean. Plenty of dishes and cookware. The area is very nice and house was conveniently close to a private beach access. Would consider this property in the future.

    This property was amazing. It had everything that we looked for. The kitchen had so many frying pans and pots. Every gadget that you could imagine. Very close to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay.
