5 Stars – Amazing Stay on Topsail Island!

Our stay at this condo in Serenity by the Sea was absolutely perfect! The unit was clean and perfect size for a couple. Could see two kids also being comfortable in the space. We loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying coffee on the balcony with an ocean view. The beach was just steps away and never felt crowded—truly a hidden gem. The kitchen had everything we needed, the best appointed with all you could need. The location is great—close to local restaurants, shops, and activities, but still quiet and peaceful. The host was wonderful and made everything so easy. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful beach retreat

Perfect destination for a spontaneous off-season visit to Topsail—great access to beach walking and a nice central location on the island. Please note despite the listing headline on the listing the pool does not open until April 1. This did not detract at all from a great time in a perfect little rental.

My new favorite

Our family has been vacationing on the south end of the island for years. This weekend, I took my daughter and her friend on a bonus beach trip and we stayed at Serenity by the Sea. It was even better than described! We loved every minute and will surely be back.

Family friendly!

We stayed with our two children (ages 6 & 8) and it was the perfect fit! It was kid friendly, easily accessible to the beach and pool and exactly as I had expected. I loved having access to the beach shed, this made traveling to and from the beach and pool so much easier. We were vacationing with a few other families who didn’t have this with their condo and we quickly realized how much of a benefit it was to our stay. Another thing that I loved was that we were provided with many of the essentials when we got there - i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, soap for the sinks, this was super helpful especially the first day when we hadn’t yet gotten to the store to purchase anything. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I do think for families it is important to note that the beach is very busy, we got down there pretty early to put up our tent and save our spot. Also the tide goes very far up the beach, be aware of this if you leave anything down there, thinking you will come back later.

Quick Weekend Get-Away

The perfect place to visit catch some rest, read a book, enjoy the ocean or the pool. Wide range of people at the complex making it a great place to say hi or strike a conversation with a condo neighbot. The condo is supplied and has everything you would need. Short ride or walk to restaurants and shops. Cannot wait to return. The owner is gracious and answers your messages. This was our second visit and we plan on coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Gloria Peedin

Host profile image
Hey there! We are the Peedin's and we look forward to hosting your next great vacation. We have recently purchased the Serenity by the Sea Condo at Surf Condos in in 2020. We may be new to the rental industry but we are not new to keeping things in good condition and fit for renters.
We are proud parents of a 8yr old little boy, so if you have children, know this condo will be setup great for your small family.
We have always loved being able to enjoy the beach and figured this was the perfect time to have a place to go when we needed a quick getaway.

Why they chose this property

We choose Surf because of the east access to the beach, wonderful zero entry pool and its location to downtown Surf City. Love our location!

What makes this property unique

This property is only 1.5 miles from the local pier and downtown areas.
