This was our second stay. Mike has carved out a little slice of beach paradise. Our family has enjoyed making so many great memories there this past two years. We werenât five minutes down the road on our way home when my daughter said, âso weâre coming back again next year, right?â I sure hope we can. If the beach is your thing then you want to stay here. Mike is such a great host, keeps his property beautifully maintained and welcoming, and is genuinely great to deal with.
We loved everything about this house! Check-in could not of been easier and inside had all you needed⊠deck outback was perfect for sunrises or sunsets!
Another great stay at Surf4life! Mikeâs place is clean, has everything you need, and the proximity to the beach and downtown is absolutely perfect. This is our second stay and we canât wait to come back next year.
My family just had one of the best, most memorable trips we have been on and were blown away at how amazing this house was. It was perfect for us and the host, Mike, has done a superb job with EVERYTHING! It is the most comfortable VRBO we have stayed at and we felt at home. We had everything we needed, it all worked, it was clean, super convenient, etc. Very cozy and right on the beach with gorgeous views from inside that you wake up too and an awesome ocean side porch to just chill on. Or you can hangout below the house in a couple hammocks. Being able to just simply walk straight out of the house and down to the beach is also amazing. I could go on and on about this experience and all that was so great. Thanks so much Mike!!
Another relaxing visit to this special place. We love the location, the decor and overall condition of the cottage. Communication with Mike is also great! Looking forward to next visit.
Our second year staying here. One of the best locations in Carolina Beach. The house has everything we need. Great space off the deck behind the dune, beach chairs, new appliances, fully stocked kitchen. Mike is incredibly responsive.
We stayed at the cottage in March. A lot was not open yet so it was pretty quiet in town and on the beach. We didnât mind the lack of crowds. The location is great. The cottage is spotless. Be sure to note that they do not supply towels, but they can be easily and cheaply bought at Walmart on your way into town. Book with confidence and have a great trip!
I spent a week watching the sun come up walking the beach and I love that he has a key you can carry around so you do not have to put in a code every time to want in.
What a perfect beach cottage. Our family of four, plus our pup, thoroughly enjoy this oceanfront cottage. Donât be deterred by the pictures showing what appears to be a parking lot on the side of the home. It isnât. Itâs actually the road nobody but the neighbors can use it.
Mike was incredibly responsive. Just the perfect host. Although our weather wasnât great there was plenty to do and see in CB and at the cottage. Weâre already planning our stay next summer.
We usually visit CB once or twice a year. This cottage is in a great location - near restaurants and easy access to the beach. Well-stocked kitchen, nice porch for enjoying sunrise/sunset, coffee or evening cocktails, comfortable living space, and itâs pet friendly! Bed linens are provided but donât forget to pack beach, bath, hand, and kitchen towels. We look forward to another stay - highly recommend!
My family and I had a wonderful stay, we particularly enjoyed seen the sun rise in the mornings and a strawberry moon from the back porch at night. This property is a hidden gem, very clean and just steps away from the beach. I appreciated the clear instructions on check in and check out. The host was always accessible, within minutes they message back and answer my questions. We look forward to another stay in the near future.
We had an amazing time staying at this beach house. It has amazing views from the back porch. Our family of 5 stayed comfortably here! Our daughter's loved the hammocks! Mike and his cleaning team are wonderful people. We forgot a small bag of things and they mailed it to us! I would definitely recommend this home for a single family looking to just relax and spend quality time on the beach. ** would also recommend Granny's kitchen across the street has a wonderful breakfast!
did not disappoint! We came back to Mike's beach house but this time for a longer stay. We love everything about this gem of a place. Location is perfect. Views are amazing. House is nicely decorated and clean! Everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Best of all, the weather was perfect. 80-90 degree sunny days. Went to Granny's Kitchen across the street for breakfasts. Spent time at the Ocean view grill right down the beach for lunch and drinks. Lake Park Steak House, Nikki Sushi, Remini's Italian Restaurant were all very good! Can't wait to come back. Thanks Mike!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect for coffee on the deck watching the sunrise. You are midway between Granny's and the Tiki Bar (for those time you don't feel like cooking). But the kitchen is great for cooking meals; lots of things you don't find in other rentals and a blender for those frozen drinks (again on the great deck).
The beds were two different firmness, which was nice. And there are a zillion movies for those rainy days. We were also able to walk to the Boardwalk quite a few times (saving on parking $). Washer and dryer were a plus to be able to do it right in the house. The bathrooms were unique, shower especially, but I found the flooring and sink area to be lovely.
Looking forward to returning!
We felt so fortunate to find this little gem sitting right on the sand. We loved watching the light change over the ocean from the windows and incredible deck. Could hear the sounds of the surf, what a great lullaby. It is such a walkable beach, we couldn't get enough.
The house is very comfortable and well appointed. The description given is very accurate. It is close to everything. The host was great at communicating.
We had a perfect get-a-way.
I have grown up surfing and loving the beach. After many years of dreaming about a beach house at a great surf spot, I found this property that became available, after 50 years with the same family. I welcome everyone to my dream beach house!
Surf4life Beach Cottage is one of the only oceanfront homes on a private street with no public parking. This house has unobstructed ocean and beach views with sunrises to die for! You can sit on the porch and watch the surfers and beach goers. The Tiki Bar is very close and your can see the crowds and hear the live music in the summer time!
