Welcome to South Shore! Our goal is to provide our guests with a 5 star experience from beginning to end. So far we have been able to do this by providing great communication, accurate photography, thoughtful amenities, technology, cleanliness, location, quality construction, but most importantly Southern friendliness.
<br>What sets South Shore apart
* Custom designed plan for the perfect vacation.
* On the Golden Mile - the best location on Topsail Island.
* One of the largest private pools on the island - with a slide and heated during the cooler months at no charge.
* Very large, private backyard
* Second row and close to the ocean
* Netgear Orbi Mesh Wifi system
* Two beach cruiser bikes

The Location:
This impeccably maintained cottage is located on South Shore Drive in Surf City just about a mile south of the high rise bridge. This location allows for easy access on and off the island while also providing a bit of distance from the central business district. South Shore Drive is unique on Topsail Island for many reasons. It is close to the bridge, dining, shopping and groceries. It also offers a residential board walk off the main road. This 2 mile board walk, or secondary road, has a 25 mph speed limit and offers the perfect place for a nice walk or morning run. Another advantage to
1021 South Shore is its proximity to a beach access about 150' (or three lots) to the South. And the property is one of the larger lots on the island that includes quite a few majestic maritime live oaks, that are rare among residential properties around here.

The House:
The house was chosen for its traditional beach cottage style. It has three bedrooms downstairs with a large living/dining/kitchen area as well as a large loft upstairs. The three bedrooms on the main level will be 1 King, 1 King and 1 Queen, the loft area has 4 Twins. The house has a total sleeping capacity of 10 people. In addition to the sleeping space upstairs there is a game nook with a foosball table, books and board games. Outside there is a large porch on the street side with both covered and open space. In the backyard there is a large pool with a slide and plenty of area to lounge, grill and enjoy time with friends and family. If you are a fisherman and would like to bring your boat to the island, South Shore is located 1 mile from the public boat ramp, and our driveway can easily accommodate up to a 30' boat/trailer. If you like to fish in the ocean, the boat ramp is roughly 8 miles via the ICWW from Topsail Inlet.
We have tried to make the house appealing to families and have included amenities we enjoy when we travel, to include beach chairs, two beach cruisers, and even a second refrigerator in the pantry.

***Trip Protection*** We feel so strongly about trip protection during the Atlantic hurricane season (June lst to November 30th that with a seven day rental and a proof of purchase at the end of your stay we will provide a $100 refund. And if you are staying less than a seven day rental during the hurricane season, we highly encourage you to purchase trip protection through VRBO or your preferred third party vendor. Trip protection will be offered to you via VRBO once your booking is complete. Please accept Trip Protection.

***Fees***A quick note about the number of fees renters are required to pay by VRBO. We are kneenly aware that the amount and quantity of fees add up quickly on a vacation rental. But most of them are out of our control. The service fee is set by VRBO and the taxes are set by the state, county, and city. This cleaning fee and linen fee are set by our vendors and represent the exact amount we are charged. We feel both of our vendors are the best on the island. The property fee is a refundable excessive cleaning deposit and is there to protect us from intentional damage. Unfortunately, over the years we have had two renters on our property were we had to withhold a portion of the deposit.

    We’ve been to this property multiple times over the years and we don’t plan on stopping! It’s always one of our favorite annual trips. The beds are great and the pool is such a nice treat after hot days at the beach. The host is very responsive and friendly about requests or issues. Highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful stay! The property was just a short 3 minute walk to the beach, which made it super convenient for our family. The pool area was a highlight very clean, well kept, and perfect for both kids and adults. The water slide was a huge hit and kept everyone entertained for hours! The entire place was spotless and well cared for. Definitely family-friendly with a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. The host was incredibly responsive and made everything easy from check in to check out. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

    We absolutely loved this house, pool and location across the street from the ocean and public beach access a 5 minute walk, Surf City Pier, shops, and restaurants a 15 minute walk or bike ride with 4 provided bikes! The host is helpful and kind. The house is clean. We spent much time on the front porch with the ocean breeze and cozy sectional and by the pool with rockers, grill and hammock. We hope to book again!
