Great house, clean, comfortable and well suited for our family visit. Katie was very communicative and made sure everything went smoothly. Would stay again!
Description of house is spot on! Very clean, short distance to beach and has everything at your fingertips you could need for the beach! Perfect... would definitely stay again and refer to friends.
Everything about this house was great. Was very clean, well organized and well stocked. And the owner was wonderful to deal with. We had a wonderful stay with family!
This home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a quick family visit. We enjoyed our stay here. The owners were very responsive and kind when I had questions. Check in and check out was simple. We would stay here again.
Had an amazing stay at this property in Surf City! Property was clean, had an easy check in, fantastic communication with the host and had everything wee needed at the property. Would highly recommend staying here and it was contactless check in so easy and quick as it gets. Plenty of room for a family and being so close to the beach, we had a fantastic time!
My family and I have never stayed at this location before, but we couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. The host is very attentive and happy to assist in any way. We normally try to find something on the beach, but this place is super close to beach access and the location is great. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you Katie!
Five adults and 2 children were able to spread out in this beautiful extremely well equipped home! Location was perfect with easy access to the beach. Host were easy to communicate with throughout the booking process/stay! Will definitely stay again at Clocking Out!
The pictures does not do its justice. Stunning home, clean, and very well taking care of. Katie was more than accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.
Waking up to sound of the ocean, seeing the Sun rise from the Atlantic is how each day was for us. Close enough for us to have our Marine son stay with us during his liberty, yet far enough to give him rest from the post.
A well laid out house with access to the beach, restaurants, and stores.
The house itself was clean and well stocked. The location was as good as it gets without actually being on the beach. Very short walk to the shore. Owners were fantastic at getting back to us in a timely manner when we had a question. I definitely recommend this house!
Highly recommended! Great location with a very short walk to the beach. The house has a great layout with plenty of room and spaces for everyone to relax. Outdoor spaces were great as well whether it be the front or back deck or under the house. The house was equipped with anything you need for a stay at the beach with family. If your a family that likes to cook, the kitchen has anything and everything you would need. A great time was had by all!
Our vacation wouldn't have been complete without having a beautiful house to stay in near the beach, and we were not disappointed. Amazing countertops, spacious rooms, quiet and friendly neighbors, and a washer/dryer made everything feel perfect. The fishing poles and boogey boards in the storage room was the icing on the cake. We will definitely try to rebook this house again. Thank you to our hosts!!
Sitting on the porch you can see and hear the ocean. The beach access is very close and the beach is wide. Great boogie boarding during high tide and love the sandbar at low tide. We were impressed with how well the house was stocked with all the extra things you need like beach chairs, umbrella, toys, boards, soaps, plastic wrap etc. Every bed & furniture was comfortable. We had a few questions and the owner was incredibly fast and helpful. The house is in a great location, close to shopping and food. Definitely try out Shaka Taco and Topsail Steamer! This was a great fit for our 2 families of 4 (8 total people). Thank you!
This property was way more than we needed it had four bedrooms, but it allowed my son and his wife to bring their dog. The beach access is a short walk through the backyard. There was storage filled with everything you will need for the beach! Actually we needed for nothing but our food, it was nice to have a kitchen filled with good cookware, and appliances!
The Host Katie was quick to reply to any questions we had . She even left us a welcome package and fresh bouquet which we appreciated, thank you! Would we stay again? YES I wish we didn’t have to leave!!
We enjoyed a delightful stay at “Clocked Out”.There was plenty of space for all to relax comfortably.The location was great with a very short walk and easy access to the beach and a nice view of the ocean from the back porch and bedroom.Our sweet doggies are family and were so happy to stay with us! …a deciding factor for booking for us. The outdoor shower with hot water was definitely a plus. The cleaning crew could have been a bit more thorough, but nothing we couldn’t remedy fairly quickly ourselves. A mirror in each of the middle bedrooms would be nice. We will definitely consider coming back and highly recommend it.
This is our third year staying at Clocking Out. We stay untroubled and never want for anything. The kitchen has everything you need. The back deck is lovely for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The front porch is our spot for sunset or storm watching. The house is large and updated for a comfortable stay. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms make for flexible accommodations. Access to the beach is easy and convenient. It truly is just steps away! Under the house is nicely set up for outdoor dining and games. Katie is an exceptional host with the thought of her guests contentment at the forefront. I bet you’ll love Clocking Out as much as we do!
