Description Description

This very nicely furnished south side of a duplex is where you are meant to be if you want to have a fantastic vacation! You will be in paradise once you set foot in this luxuriously decorated home, you will notice that every detail has been taken care of. Load the suitcases and groceries into the elevator instead of lugging them up the stairs! If you need more space, consider renting the North Side of the duplex: Vitamin Sea.

The popular reverse floorplan puts all of the living spaces on the second floor to maximize the gorgeous oceanfront views from every window. The open floorplan allows all guests to spend time together, whether you are cooking meals or watching movies. You can access the oceanfront sundeck from the living room. The dining area seats 6 at the dining table, 4 at the eat in kitchen table, plus 4 more at the counter.

This oceanfront home has two oceanfront decks; one is covered and accesses a shared walkway with the other side of the duplex. The walkway has a large seating area over the sand. The private sundeck is on the second floor, just off the living room and offers comfortable outdoor seating and beautiful views.

I highly recommend Ward Realty for booking homes at Surf City. The staff were great to work with and they kept you up to date on when your home was ready and any other details along the way. Thank you for making our time a Surf City a great experience.

Very clean and comfortable
We enjoyed our week at the Meant To Be. The location is convenient to Surf City shopping and dining. Kitchen is well stocked for food prep, cooking, and dining. Elevator is a plus to get supplies to 2nd & 3rd floor. Each bedroom had TVs and WIFI. The 2 king bedrooms and 2 queen bedrooms were very comfortable and all had a seating area. The bunk room was small but adequate. Two places we had lunch at that we would recommend were Riverview Cafe, Sneads Ferry & J&M On the Water Bar & Grill, Surf City. We are already looking forward to our next stay at the Meant To Be.
