This quiet & spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bath (+outdoor shower) family & dog friendly beach home has everything to make your stay at the beach comfy & memorable. Please mention any animals when requesting your stay.

The property is freshly decorated throughout with the most comfortable beds you’ll find. Listen to the waves roll onto the shore as you relax sitting seaside with ocean views without the full force of the ocean wind. Nestled at the end of Topsail Drive, this home won’t have traffic drowning out the ocean sounds. It is literally a 40 second stroll from the private gate down to the soft sands of Topsail Island - there are no roads to cross. Located less than 1 mile away from the shops & restaurants in downtown Surf City, the location of this home has it all!

Pull up in the driveway and you’ll be greeted with this home’s green landscaping. There is open parking for up to 6 vehicles. This home is made for family gatherings. A picnic table, stainless steel park style charcoal grill, gas grill, & an enclosed hot/cold outdoor shower are located outside on the ground level. The direct beach access is located off the ground level deck. It’s landscaped for privacy.

Step inside the entrance from the carport & this home shines with charming beachy décor where surfboards set the stage for a magical coastal escape. The foyer has storage space for shoes, keys, beach chairs & other personal items.

Make your way up a few stairs & set your luggage down in 1 of the 3 bedrooms. There’s a queen bed in the ‘fishing room,’ & double-bunks in the kids’ ‘boat room.’ The Master Bedroom at the end of the hall is the ‘turtle room' and is a spacious oasis with a king size bed, a desk with a monitor, mouse & keyboard, dresser, & a Bose radio/alarm clock. This bedroom has a private bathroom, complete with large tub & separate shower. All bedrooms have comfy beds & smart flat screen TVs & DVD players. There is a ceiling fan in most bedrooms with the exception of the bunk bedroom. All Bedrooms have ocean views & sliding glass doors to access the deck which features a porch swing and various chairs & tables. In the hallway is a large shared bathroom with double sinks, full size shower/tub combination, & brightly colored beach décor. The laundry room is also located on this level.

Walk up the stairs to the ‘surf shack’ and you’ll notice the open floor plan is great for gathering multiple generations or several families. The living room offers a smart Flat Screen TV, DVD player, blue tooth speaker, ceiling fans & plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. Additional seating for 3 is found at the kitchen bar along with the additional 3 chairs at the high table next to the beautiful bay window in the living room. There is also a large dining room with seating for 6. This is the perfect area for a meal with a view or for one of the available puzzles or games (provided) on a lazy afternoon. Ample seating throughout this space ensures a relaxing space to spend your time while not on the beach.

The kitchen allows for plenty of space for preparing meals and a well-stocked kitchen to make cooking easy. The bright kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities you enjoy at home. Amenities include a refrigerator with icemaker, dishwasher, built-in microwave, blender, traditional coffee maker, Keurig, tea pot, toaster and more.

Also, on this level, the 4th bedroom features a king bed & opens to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a shower/tub combination. Guests can also access this bathroom from the upstairs hallway. Sliding glass doors from the bedroom & living room lead to the 3rd floor balcony filled with many rocking chairs & a picnic table for relaxing and enjoying views, soft breezes, & ocean sounds.

    This home is amazing. Out of all our stays in rental homes this was the cleanest of them all. Kudos to those for the great job. Home beautiful and great for a family vacation. Location is great for an easy beach walk, and close to restaurants. You can tell the property owner cares. House is stocked with pots/pans (we always bring our own), linens provided. We had a really nice stay here I am glad we chose this home. Awesome home.

    Fantastic location, two house back from the beach but only a very short and convenient walk to the beach via a lovely boardwalk connected to the house itself. Lovely views of the ocean from the interior and all of the decks. Really superior location to oceanfront bc you don’t have the nasty saltwater film on the windows that obscures views. The home was well stocked in so many ways. Dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, games, soap and cleaning supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, games, movies, boogie boards, the list goes on. We chose this house for the location and the family room (not to mention all of the great reviews). The sofas and seating in the family room were ideal for big families to hang out after a long day on the beach. So comfy with plenty of pillows and blankets. The beds were all quite comfortable which is such a big deal for us. Again, plenty of bed pillows too. Beth & Ken were a joy to interact with. Quick to respond with recommendations, assistance, etc. the kitchen, living, dining and primary bedroom are on the 3rd floor and remaining bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. Fyi, Property may not be ideal for people with physical disabilities/limitations who have trouble navigating stairs. Many of the rentals in the area have a similar layout with living areas on 3rd floor and bedrms on 2nd level. Surf City was the perfect beach getaway. Plenty of restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc. Highly recommend this home and owner! A

    Property was perfect for our family. A couple of suggestions would be to replace the shower curtain liner in hall bath and to be able to cool the middle floor better. Those that stayed on the second floor slept hot most nights.

    Home is very close to the beach which is beautiful and so is the ocean water. We were disappointed that the private boardwalk of the house connects into a common boardwalk that had a lot of traffic. That and the complex on the other side of the fence resulted in a busy beach area at our access. We had to walk quite a ways down the beach to set up and not feel like people were on top of us. The house was very nice for the price. Some in our group have stayed at nicer but paid more and not as close to the beach. Weather was great. Most restaurants and ice cream were below average, one place that impressed us was Sears Landing. Crab fritters are a must have! Decent breakfast too. If you have teenagers who aren’t into the beach there is not much around to keep them entertained.

    We had a fantastic week at this beach house. The house is beautifully furnished with very comfortable beds. Linen and towels are included as well as several beach chairs. An easy walk to and from the beach and a great view for a second row home.. The owners are very responsive and couldn't be more helpful. I would highly recommend this home for pet and non pet owners.
