About this property

Perfect Beach Rental with private heated pool and close beach access. 🤩

When you find a house that's carefully cleaned, conveniently located and considerately appointed, then your vacation is destined to be a great one! ShoreBreak is exactly that. We aim to make life easy so you can just pack a bag, grab some groceries and everything else will take care of itself.

We opened this house as a rental in August 2020 and we have consistently worked to make this house a place where it's easy to relax and enjoy Topsail Island. ShoreBreak is a traditional H-plan house with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a central living/dining area. All of the rooms are on one floor for convenience and safety if you're worried about stairs. ShoreBreak has a pleasant screened porch that faces the ocean with an outside living and dining area, perfect for rainy days or a place to cool off from the sun. The back deck is a terrific place to look out over the new backyard pool. Our backyard is equipped with a wonderful 5 ft deep pool with a huge tanning ledge, a gas grill, picnic table and lounge chairs.

What about the beach? It's across the street! There's a well-built public access across the street. There is no public parking at Access 25 so you don't have to worry about crowds of people. You'll just see your neighbors nearby, which makes it a great place to have plenty of room on the beach with all of your family and friends.

ShoreBreak is located about 1 mile south of Surf City Pier, the general area of shops, restaurants, parks, and other activites. It's very convenient. This area is a great place to walk, run, bike and look for adventure. There are plenty of places to explore (like the pier) or to relax (at a restaurant, bar or coffee shop with live music and refreshments).

We want you and your family/friends to come to ShoreBreak and relax. Find some time to play a game or read a book. Enjoy the outdoors when you swim in the pool or find shells and sharks teeth on the beach. Grill dinner by the pool or enjoy a breeze on the screened porch. We provide a lot of amenities to make your vacation simple. And if you're planning on a day on the beach, we provide a beach wagon, chairs, buckets, and boogie boards for your convenience.

What is an H-style house? Well, it's a common house plan that was used on Topsail Island when civilians started building more vacation homes. (You'll have to look up Operation Bumblebee and find out the history of Topsail.) On the north side of the house, there is a bedroom with a king bed and a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom in between. On the south side of the house, there is a bedroom with a queen bed and a bedroom with a bunk bed (twin over double, over twin trundle) and a bathroom in between.

We provide: bed sheets, bath towels, beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, cooking basics, some cleaning supplies, and a first-aid kit.

Great spot for family gathering!

The house was in a great location - across the street from beach access, with a heated pool for when you’re not in the mood for salt and sand. There are lots of great food options nearby for cooking or eating out. We had a great time!

Annual Family Vacation

Our annual family vacation has traditionally taken place at one of Mark and Trudy’s beach homes. Over the years we have built traditions and made memories in Surf City and their homes. We recommend anyone who wants a small home for their family, with close beach access, a pool and a personal touch from Mark and Trudy.

Loved our stay!

This place is very well appointed. Owners are easily obtainable but not overbearing. Loved the one floor plan and layout. The place would seem small based on the square footage but it totally worked for 8 adults and 2 children. Pool outside is awesome. Lots of equipment to be used. How well this is equipped made it easy for us since we had 2 couples flying in. Made it a lot less to pack.

Amazing stay in Topsail

We had an amazing vacation this week. This home is perfect - there were 9 of us in total with a range of ages (kids aged 4 - 14). We were all able to stay and sleep here comfortably. The house was spotless and it had everything! And I mean everything! Laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper and all the kitchen necessities you needed to cook at home. The bed were very comfortable. The owners were responsive and kind. We would highly recommended this place to stay and honestly cannot wait to go back. The area was beautiful- beaches were amazing and plenty of places to eat and entertain you.

Perfect family destination

We had an awesome time on our annual family getaway. Our group consisted of adults and young children. This was our first time staying here, but hopefully not our last. The house is exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. Super convenient to the public beach access & private pool- what else do you need?! The pool/beach/outdoor toys were a fun bonus that the whole family enjoyed. It was so convenient to have extra chairs, floats, etc. The home owner had great communication and gave very clear instructions. I highly recommend staying here.

Relaxing week

This is our second time staying at Shorebreak, and we loved it! Easy walk to the beach across the street, and a beautiful, clean pool in the backyard for when you need a break from the ocean. The home itself is well appointed, very clean, and felt like home away from home! Very close to town as well. Highly recommend this home!

Wonderful property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was better stocked than any other property we've stayed at over the years. There were so many things for the outdoors: bikes, tons of boogie boards, rafts for the pool, beach towels. Kitchen had everything we needed. It was especially nice that there was enough paper towels, toilet paper, kitchen soaps to last the week so that we didn't have to worry about it. The pool was very refreshing and there was plenty of seating. It was so nice being so close to the beach. We appreciate how clean the entire house was. The owners have thought of everything! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

An amazing place to stay

We absolutely couldn't imagine finding a better place to stay. The house was perfect and so much kitchen space. The walk to the beach was so quick even our two year old didn't mind. Amazing pool, and the screened porch was the perfect place to relax every evening. This is the second time we have rented from Trudy and we have been so impressed with her hospitality. It is evident how much thought she has put into make this a great place to visit.

Everything you could ask for at Top Sail

We had an amazing vacation celebrating a sweet 16 and family. The owner was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. I recommend this home highly. The living area was clean and they thought of everything from games to cooking needs. We enjoyed the pool , finding shark teeth, long walks and biking. The ping pong table was wonderful. This house was beyond our expectations.

Awesome home, perfect vacation.

The only one thing I was upset about when I booked my trip was the fact it was advertised having a pool and hot tub that’s why I choose the property, after I booked and paid somewhere along the line the hot tub was removed and therefore I probably wouldn’t of paid that much but it was advertised having a pool abs hot tub which were the selections I requested when making my beach rental decision but the house was beautiful nice and clean

Beautiful vacation rental

We had a wonderful stay at Shorebreak. The decor and layout of the house was wonderful. The house was fully stocked with anything we could possibly need. The house was very clean. We loved that you could see the sunrise from the screened in front porch and the sunset from the back porch. Beach access was right across the street and easily accessible. The pool was great for relaxing after a day at the beach, and the tanning ledge was perfect for getting sun or for a shallow place for littles to play. The owner was very responsive. I would highly recommend staying at Shorebreak.

Best rental experience ever!

Do not hesitate to book this absolutely wonderful property! Owners are thoughtful, attentive to every detail and very quick to respond. The house itself is stunning, clean and newly remodeled. We had the best time walking across the street to the beach, lounging in the pool and hanging out on the screened in porch. The house is also equipped with all sorts of beach/pool toys that our toddler loved. The kitchen is fully stocked too! You will feel very comfortable and so glad you booked this property! Thank you for hosting us!

All the comforts of home ... and then some

Shore Break provided us a wonderful Labor Day getaway. The house was immaculately kept and beautifully decorated in a soothing seaside escape theme. While we didn’t need any assistance while there, since Trudy had already made sure everything we could need was accounted for, I know through my pre-checkin communications with her that she would have been prompt and thorough in her responses. From the sweet treats left for us to enjoy at check-in to the First Aid kit, everything was well thought out and executed. Trudy was a wonderful host!

Beautiful, comfortable home in perfect location

We loved every second of our vacation! The house was beautiful, so perfectly clean and had everything we could possibly need in the kitchen, bathrooms, for the beach or the pool. We were the first guests to use the heated pool and what a beautiful addition it is to the house. Our kids loved the house, especially their bunk bed room, and all 3 loved the pool. The beach is right across the street (ocean views from screened porch), what more can you ask for?! There is a dining table on the screened porch so you can enjoy a meal looking at and listening to the ocean but not be getting bitten by any bugs. The beds are so comfortable and the bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect. Check in and checkout process is super easy and well described. The house is on a beautiful street where tons of people run, walk and ride bikes (there are two gorgeous beach cruisers at the house- we rented two bikes with baby seats from 50 South Surf Shop and they were wonderful with delivering and picking them up, in case you need additional bikes) And last, but certainly not least, Trudy is the most friendly and helpful owner- checking in with us multiple times to see if we needed anything at all. She brought pool toys all blown up over to the pool for the kids which was so sweet. You will enjoy your stay at this house!

Trudy is an awesome host!

First thought is I would definitely recommend booking this house with Trudy, as it was perfect for us. We were looking for a typical beach vacation with a location that was almost beach front but also included a private pool. We had a family of two children and 4 adults stay for a week. The beach was less than a 2 minute walk from the house, as the access point was just across the street. The town activities like food, fun, shopping etc was either a 5 minute drive south or 5 minute drive north depending on where you wanted to go. The house itself was very accommodating and it was exactly as described. The check in process was easy and the checkout process was easy and the short list of 8-10 items was reasonable. All four of the bedrooms were nice as they had basic furnishings but still roomy enough for luggage, pack and play, etc. The living room/dining room/kitchen was nice because of the open concept and H style house setup. There was a screened in patio deck out front, and then an uncovered deck out back. The neighbors on both sides were around but no bother at all. Overall the house had mostly everything we needed to get going including most kitchen items for cooking a variety of meals at the house. For beach days, there were plenty of chairs, kids toys, boards, a wagon, etc. For the backyard pool there were also plenty of floating devices and toys. In house entertainment included smart TV's, puzzles, games, books, etc.

About the host

Hosted by Trudy & Mark Solomon

Host profile image
Hey! We are Trudy & Mark Solomon and we have been full-time residents in Surf City since 2008, but have owned property on the island since 1989. ShoreBreak and SummerSalt are own personal rental houses on South Shore Drive that we pour our hearts into and have listed on VRBO. We have a huge desire to help families come and have quality time enjoying the surf and all of the beauty of Topsail, the way our family of five does.

Why they chose this property

ShoreBreak is conveniently located on the island, on a quiet street but close to everything. It's exceptionally appointed with all you should need to have a really great vacation. And it's super-clean because we don't rely on cleaning crews who are cleaning multiple houses in one day. We focus on cleanliness of our houses like others can't, taking a full 5 hours to scour and scrub.

What makes this property unique

ShoreBreak has a great single-story floor plan and a large lot for everyone to enjoy. With a new heated pool, the backyard gives you an extra space for enjoying the outdoors when you need a break from the beach. The street is very quiet, making it pleasant for biking and walking.
