Great beach house

Spent a week here with 11 members of my family. Perfect beach location. No pool, but we brought along an inflatable pool for the youngsters - especially good on rainy days. Great house location - close to stores, restaurants, the pier. Sharon helped out a lot with good open and close instructions. Good Wifi. We'd like to come back.

perfect spot for a relaxing family vacation!

This was our first time staying in Catie's Cove, and also our first time on topsail island. The house and spot along the coast was perfect. location was great, most things are within walking distance. the property was well maintained and the beach in front of the house was wide and really great. the furniture and kitchen supplies were new and beds were comfortable! we plan on returning next year! highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Rice Chua

Host profile image
Our family left the sunny beaches of San Diego, CA, and were pleased to find Surf City to be a family-friendly beach with walkable restaurants, shops, and water amenities close by. You can rent bikes, kayaks, surfboards, paddleboards, and just about anything else you need to have fun!

Why they chose this property

Surf City offers a wonderful, family-friendly beach that’s conveniently close to Raleigh and Wilmington Airport. Topsail Island features a beautiful beach and a kid-friendly atmosphere, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation. There are also plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance, enhancing the convenience and enjoyment of your stay.

What makes this property unique

Our beachfront home offers a unique rental experience with its prime location on Topsail Island, providing easy access to a family-friendly beach and nearby amenities. Everything you need is only steps away, with no streets to cross, giving you peace of mind and convenience—especially if you have children who need to go back and forth between the house and the beach.

Unlike other rentals with 4 or 5 bedrooms that offer 500-600 square feet less space, our home provides ample room to relax and unwind without feeling cramped. The spacious layout enhances your comfort, making your vacation truly relaxing. Additionally, we’re just three blocks from the center of Surf City, making it easy to walk to restaurants and shops, a favorite activity for our guests.
