Everything about our stay was awesome except for the steep steps, which were only difficult for me. Fortunately there were children and grandchildren to carry stuff. ##### Rebecca H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joshua W. 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Disappointing stay Upon arrival we had to contact rental company about some issues with the house. We received no response regarding any of these issues. The trash cans were full that were outside. There was no trash cans in the house we had to use make shift garbage bags. None of the remotes would work and batteries had to be purchased and replaced for use. There were no paper goods upon initial arrival as complimentary for a rental. There were not enough bath towels provided as apart of the rental fee. There was no broom available to use to assist with clean up. The beds had no box springs and all the queen size beds had large gaps that you would fall through. The washer and dryer did not work. These issues were not corrected or acknowledged by the rental company. I do not recommend renting the house given the issues and the lack of response from the rental company responsible for maintaining the property. ##### Joshua W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Celeste P. 14 Jul 2025 #### Family trip Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The check in, location and the size of the house was perfect for our family beach trip! The only downfall was we did not have a kitchen trash can to throw away trash. Also leading up to check in I reached out to the host about a question a week in advance. No response. I had to call the day before to get our check in information. In the past this information was provided to me 3 days before. ##### Celeste P. ### 6/10 Okay #### cyndi h. 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication #### Sunset Horizon Fenced back yard is inaccurate and shouldn't even be advertised- there is a fence but it has several broken pickets so not safe to allow pet off lease. It is also not attached to the condo.All furniture is old, uncomfortable, even for a short time.Mattresses have seen better days, but linen was clean and house was clean.Washer did not work properly. Left a voicemail and a text to Maven with no response. So don't plan to wash laundry.You will get plenty of exercise- 2 bedrooms on second floor, living area and bedroom on top floor- 32 steps from the parking area.Property is relatively close to the beach after crossing the main road in Surf City. ##### cyndi h.

Reviewer Comments: The house is 3 levels lots of steps , not noted in description that it’s 3 levels. Floors were not clean . Loved having 3 bathrooms, easy access to the beach . Nice televisions . Was hoping to have access to the sound . Maintenance came super fast for an issue. House is very spacious. ##### Tia J.

The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It seems as though the rental was not ready for the season. There are a few things of note you might want to address. We got texts asking if we needed anything for our “5 star stay”. When we replied about lights not working nothing was done It was definitely not a 5 star stay nor worth the price we paid.  ##### C B.
