Perfect weekend getaway

We had a lovely time. The house was cozy and clean, had everything we needed and was conveniently located right across from two public access points to the beach. The quiet dead end neighborhood also made for wonderful evening walks.

Great place to stay!

Poppy’s Place was great! It’s a half block from the public beach access and a short golf cart ride to all the shops in the center of Surf City! It is a quiet street and very pet friendly. Amber was very responsive and helpful. We will be booking this place again for next summer!

Spouse

We came with our dog. We liked how they had the dog bowls ready for us. They also had muffins and a welcome card. Place is quiet, which we LOVED! The walking distance to the beach is like 2 minutes! Loved the bikes! If we decide to vacation down there again we will definitely rent out Popi’s place again! ❤️ Thank you

A yearly gift to my daughter on her birthday

Cottage is very spacious. My only hope is the sliding glass doors are fixed by our next stay. That would be nice. Overall a very nice cottage. That's nicely located. With ease do all your shopping just a few moments away.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a great time at Poppy’s Place. Very clean and has all the basic amenities to include the Keurig coffee maker. Gas grill was great for making a hot dog lunch for the grandkids. Lots of beach chairs and items in the garage. Beach access 10 is the closest but does have stairs. Would stay here again. Great communication as well with Amber.

Surf City visit

My wife and I had to make a trip on short notice for a funeral and we were very fortunate to be able to stay here. The vibe of Surf City is very relaxed and Amber’s house was a perfect place to come back to at the end of the day. It was very clean and the location was great for walking on the beach or going into town. Thank you very much, Amber, for your hospitality and the great value staying at your house provides.

Oh! We do like to be beside the seaside!

The property Poppy's Place is really cute! It is very well maintained and space is used really well. At the front the lounge/dining area leads onto a deck which has views of the sea and provided a great space for our dogs to sit and watch the world go by (they loved it). It is less than a five minute walk to the beach entrances both to left and right. The beaches were lovely, quiet and clean. We were made to feel very comfy in the home, there was everything we needed.I would definitely recommend and we are looking to book a second visit this Spring!

We loved Poppys Place!

Poppys Place is a beautiful home that was set up perfectly for two couples and two kiddos (although four kiddos would have also fit just as nicely). It is a beautiful home, very clean, and close to the beach as well as many fun areas, stores and places to eat. The owner was kind and responsive as well. We really loved our stay!

Adorable, super clean, great location!

This was our 4 year coming to the island! The house was just what the pictures showed! Everything was provided even though we brought paper goods to help replenish. The house was very clean and the host is super responsive and helpful! It took a couple times for me to figure out the entry lock but needed the key inside to fix the issue! The only thing I would agree with on past reviews is the cactus issue in the yard. You can use the back yard at all due to the mini cactus that you will be picking out of you or your pet every time.I would recommend this house to anyone! Thanks for a great stay!

Best VRBO I've ever rented.

We stayed for 6 days and it was amazing. Amber was very open with us and made it a completely stress free check in. We showed up and were informed the garage door was having issues. Within twenty minutes she had someone there to fix it. On top of how easy it was to check in, it's in a beautiful area. Your about 1 block from public beach access. The house was just as described and pictures do it justice. Very clean as well. Would 100% recommend.
