This house was great for our family. Plenty of space for a family of 5\. The pool was spacious and we loved the decks on each floor. It was an easy walk to the beach as well. ##### Kimberly H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne G. 18 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surf City The property was perfect for our family . We had four children and six adults. There was plenty of room with the pool and decks. It was a short walk to the beach however, since you cross one busy road we put our children in a wagon. . The kitchen was well stocked The property was definitely child friend. They even had toys and books .. They had stools so the children could reach the toilet and sink. We would highly recommend this property. It was a beautiful beach house. ##### Suzanne G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kishan P. 9 Sept 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Decent spot for a great beach We enjoyed our stay at the Castaway Cove. The rooms were decent and the amenities were good. However, the only note I would make is the cleaniness. You will have to clean when you arrive. For being advertised as a 2021 new house was very dirty with the laundry full of sand, the dishes not being clean and the appliances and carpets and areas subpar in my opinion. However location and distance to the beach was great! I would stay again however I would bring my own appliances and such. ##### Kishan P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim S. 3 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway with Friends and Kids We loved this property and it was perfect to constantly entertain four little kids between the pool and the beach. The house was great, beds were comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed. My only suggestion would to give a better idea of what kinds of items are available. For example I brought my instapot and blender only to find that both were available at the house. I would also say that this was not the cleanest place I've ever stayed, kitchen and bathrooms could have been cleaner when we arrived. Other than that we hope to be back again! ##### Kim S.
