Great Stay
Great rental property for our family's summer vacation. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking meals, the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of beach items for kids and adults. We especially enjoyed the large windows in the dining area to view the beach and the July 4th fireworks!

Great location
Our family of 10 ranging in ages from 8-80 had a great time. Excellent location. The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The elevator was a plus for my 80 year old parents and to get heavy bags and groceries upstairs. We appreciated the little doggie area so our dogs didn’t have to get Sandy when needing to use the bathroom. Very comfortable. Only thing missing was a bbq. Would stay again.

Amazing vacation spot!
I can't say enough good things about Shore Bet. The house and location were perfect. Plenty of room for all! The beach location was perfect - close enough to walk to all the shops/restaurants in Surf City but far enough away you are out of the hustle and bustle! Definitely the best stocked house I have ever stayed in. Kitchen had everything you could need and more - you don't need to bring anything except your bathing suit! Boogie boards, beach chairs, towels - all there! We will definitely be back!

What a place! Great service!
We had such a wonderful time staying at Shore Bet. Beautiful home, amazing views, convenient access to the beach, and top-notch support and service the whole time we were there. Blue Anchor was terrific, and any time we had even the slightest problem we had help arrive immediately. We can't say enough good things about this company and this property. It was a smash hit!

Winning Shore Bet
Clean, well-maintained, spacious, and well-equipped home on the beach. Adequate parking for 4 cars on the driveway. We loved the sea views from both levels and the convenient location for easy shopping. The welcome kit was super helpful as was the Blue Anchor team. Kitchen had enough pots and pans for all our cooking. A few more coffee cups would have been even better - but then we were 9 of us guzzling tea and coffee all the time. 😃

Wonderful home, we would stay again!
Overall, we loved our time and would rate it 4.5 stars total. We enjoyed having our 2 dogs with us too. While a few things did go awry (as things can happen), we overall enjoyed our stay and found that when we did mention anything to Blue Anchor, they were very responsive and tried to figure out a solution to satisfy us. The upper deck was comfortable and one of our favorite places to relax. The lower deck provided wonderful shade for those of us that burn easily. The pet area was great and the gates allowed us to have the dogs off leash to be able to run up and downstairs. They loved having some space to move around. Having multiple access points into the house was helpful as well, depending on where you were entering from. The parking was ample, and it was wonderful to have the whole property instead of half like many of the beachfront offerings. Overall, we very much enjoyed our time here and look forward to staying again in the future!

Great place for our April vacation
This place was amazing! Location was awesome as it was close to restaurants, the pier and great place on the beach. The house was very dog friendly, they had a place for the dogs to potty while using the deck to walk around and not get out. The house was very clean, well decorated, loved that it had a washer and dryer, kids bunk room had toys and games as well. We did have an issue with the keyless entry, property manager had a solution within an hour and gave us a giftcard for the inconvenience. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Family Vacation
Our family had such a memorable week. From the pre-booking questions to our final vacation day, all of our contacts from Blue Anchor Property Management were quick to respond, attentive, and very helpful. The property was very clean, cozy, and fully equipped with all we would need for a fun, relaxing, and stress-free vacation on the beach. The home elevator was certainly a bonus as we have a paralyzed dog that gets around on wheels. We made so many wonderful memories and hope to be able to return to make some more in this beautiful house. We would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Beach House
Our family had a wonderful time on our beach vacation. The house was everything we wanted in a beach house. There was plenty of seating, the beds were comfortable, the house was stocked with everything we could think of needing, decor was very pretty, I could go on and on. The house location could not of been more perfect, besides the amazing beach views, it was a short walk to the majority of the stores and restaurants. We had a great stay and no issues, we did ask for an additional set of bathroom towels and they were quick and friendly in getting it to us. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this lovely home!

They thought of everything!
This property was amazing! It was impeccably clean, and the location was perfect. The house was tastefully decorated, the beds were all comfortable, and even the layout of the bedrooms was perfect to accommodate our family. The common area was comfortable, with plenty of seating. We spent much of our time at the beach, with easy access from the multilevel deck, but we also enjoyed movies on the multiple large screen TVs and enjoyed some friendly competition at the ping pong table. My grandsons went crazy when they saw the big tub of beach toys, and the adults loved the quality of beach chairs for our use. The elevator came in handy to get luggage and groceries up to the main 3rd floor. This property was all that we asked for and more. I highly recommend!

Tranquil beach sounds and family friendly
Property was really great. Well equipped kitchen amenities, beach gear, and other appointments, clean and a fantastic location on the beach. For people who struggle with stairs or if you have a lot of stuff to bring up, there is an elevator. The management company was superb- responsive, fair and kind. We’ve rented many homes over the years and Blue Anchor is by far the best management group to date. Comfortable furnishings, plenty of space and good outdoor spaces including a small fenced enclosure for dogs to do their business. Loved hearing the ocean waves- tranquil bliss.

Amazing house, highly recommend
Our family got to spend the past month at Shore Bet and it could not have been a better stay. The house really is beautiful. It is obvious the moment you arrive that the owners love this house and that it is managed extremely well. It couldn’t have a more beautiful view or access to the beach. Even on cold or stormy days, it was heavenly to look out from all the large windows at the gorgeous ocean views. I brought some pots and pans along with kitchen items, assuming this house would be sparse in the kitchen like most rentals usually are, but that wasn’t the case. The kitchen is very well-stocked, including stainless steal pots and pans, and even a Kitchen Aid stand mixer! Our children loved the bunk room and the closet with board games and the beach toys provided. I was really impressed with how clean everything was. The whole house was spotless when we arrived and made the home that much more comfortable. Denise was always prompt in correspondence and so kind in person. Overall, I couldn't recommend this house more. Our whole family was sad to leave!! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Family getaway
We had a lovely stay at Surf City with my huaband and I and kids with friends. The house was clean and nicely decorated. The views of the sunrise were amazing and the ocean visible with large windows in every room facing it. We had our dog and were able to take him out on beach walks which he really enjoyed, then had a nice confined area he could use for potty breaks at the bottom of the stairs. The kitchen had all I needed to make several meals and was clean. There are a lot of stairs, but if have the elevator can work around that. As it was off season we did not awim too much in the ocean, but there is a good outdoor shower too! The stay was very nice and would recommend!

It was welcoming and had so many welcoming details!!
From when we arrived until we left, we were so impressed with this house. The management company left us the sweetest gift basket with all the starters we needed like small size detergent, dishwashing liquid, garbage bags, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and so much more! It has so many fabulous, well-thought-out details! From eight high quality Maui Jim beach chairs in top condition ready for our use in the basement to having our linens and towels already ordered and ready for us on arrival, we were pleased. It is literally right on the beach, with a minimum walk from the walkway to the water. It was easy in and easy out. It had lots of fabulous kitchen items. There were large TVs in every bedroom and the living room. The beds were all comfy. This house was just perfect and just as advertised. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for hosting us!

Great Views; location, and Host!
Great house for a family with children and pets! Beautiful ocean views with a private entrance to the beach. Also ideal for responsible pet owners; a designated FENCED IN pet "bathroom" ! . Elevator is helpful for grandparents or to aid in stocking the kitchen upon arrival! Grocery stores and supplies are all within walking distance, yet you still have a privacy feel with the size of the house. Blue Anchor was great to work with and responsive to requests. We have booked again for our 2025 family vacation.

Wonderful house and location
This was a large house right on the beach. You could not ask for a better location. Easy access to the sand with uninterrupted views of the ocean, yet walking distance to all Surf City has to offer. We went with some of our adult kids and our infant through early grade school grandkids. There was plenty of room and something to do for everyone.

Celebrations
This is our second time visiting Surf City and staying at the Shore Bet. On this trip we celebrated my birthday. It was also a celebration of my pup, Razz, and her one year surviving cancer. As soon as we walked in we felt right at home. We had a starter bag with goodies in it. I even received a happy birthday balloon! The home is decorated to put you in a beach mood. The last time we visited I suggested new pans as the older ones were not good. I was so pleased to see new pans! The home has everything you need! You are just steps away from the sandy beach. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely stunning! We love Surf City and this beautiful home. We can’t wait to visit this amazing island and home again!
