About this property

Beach Days and Sunny Rays Ahead

Unwind in this charming four-bedroom, three full and two half-bath beach house, ideally situated in Surf City on Topsail Island, North Carolina. Just one row back from the beach, our home offers stunning views of both the beach and the intracoastal waterway, with beach access merely a minute's walk down the street. While we're conveniently distanced from the town center to ensure tranquility, the heart of Surf City's dining, shopping, and amenities is only a short two-minute drive away.

The home features a generous yet cozy living area with captivating ocean views, an expansive dining space that comfortably seats ten, and a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of storage and counter space. Each room provides access to a deck, perfect for enjoying ocean sunrises or intracoastal sunsets. Spanning four levels, our home includes an elevator servicing all floors, simplifying the task of loading and unloading vehicles. A two-car garage complete with an air hockey table plus half bath leads to a spacious four-car driveway. Additional conveniences include an outdoor shower, keyless entry doors, and a house stocked with beach essentials like towels, chairs, and toys, plus a high chair and a pack-n-play for young guests. We've thought of everything to ensure that all you need to bring is yourself!

A Great Stay In Surf City

We enjoyed our stay at Karen's place. The property was clean and furnished nicely. A bonus was the collection of beach gear for the youngsters. Getting to the beach was easy (just across the road). We'll look to stay again if we're here next year.

Family Memories

This is a wonderful property. It was spotless when we arrived. The host was so responsive before and during checkin. Great spaces for our three generations (10 of us). And the views and breezes from the deck over the ocean are amazing, and there is such easy access to the beach. It's a great home!

Second time staying!

We love this house and hope to stay again next year. It’s spacious and nice that the master is upstairs away from everything. Love the layout. Perfect location from beach access and great views! We loved sitting out on the balcony every morning and night. House is stocked - paper towels, toilet paper, spices. Plenty of cookware and kitchen items. Owner very helpful and responsive!

I fell in love with it. The elevator was a must since we had someone with a disability. We had everything we needed, well stocked. Karen was a wonderful host. She made sure after the transfer of ownership we had everything right. Loved the few steps to the beach and the balconies. I would definitely stay again.
