About this house rental

Park your car for the week! Two beach accesses are offered just across the street & house is located in prime location with short walk to restaurants, shopping, the Pier - everything in downtown Surf City!!!

RECENTLY RENOVATED TOP FLOOR

This beach home has a reverse floor plan with the kitchen and living on the upper floor, and incredible ocean views. It is the perfect landing for 2 families with great sleeping options for 10 people with 3 full bathrooms, a half bath on the upper floor + an outdoor private shower. It is located approximately 0.5 miles south of the Surf City high-rise bridge on upscale “South Shore Drive” which puts you within walking distance to lots of restaurants, groceries, shops, Surf City Pier and more! South Shore Drive is a 25 mph, oceanfront beach road that is only local traffic. It is the perfect place for an exercise run, bike ride or family walk. You can literally put your keys away for the week. We strive to make the house appealing to families with amenities like bicycles, beach chairs, propane gas grill, baby gate, and pack & play.

After you spend a day at the beach you can relax on the two ocean facing decks with direct views of the water. The back yard has space to enjoy a game of corn hole, and a picnic table is provided for lunch or cocktails when a break from the sun is needed.

Both ocean facing decks offer outdoor furniture which is an ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon/evening cocktails. The newly renovated top floor features an open concept living area which includes the kitchen, ½ bath, gaming area (for puzzles and reading) dining room, wet bar, one master suite and full bath with walk-in shower. The kitchen features quartz counter tops, expanded pantry space, and is well stocked so you can prepare anything from a large breakfast to family dinners and steamer pots. The large dining room table comfortably accommodates 8 guests plus 4 bar stools at the peninsula counter. The living area features a large sectional with chaise to gather for relaxation watching the large 60" TV. The second floor is complete with 4 bedrooms including a second master with on suite and walk-in shower, a single Queen room, and two rooms with twin beds - all bedrooms feature their own TV! The kids will love the "old school" gaming table featuring 60 of your arcade favorite such as Pac Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga. Separating the bedrooms is 1 full bathroom with double sink vanities, a tub/shower combo and a laundry room with washer, dryer, and ironing board.

Our 4th year at this property in Surf City - and easily our favorite week of the year. The property is fantastic. Great location, all the amenities required for a relaxing vacation, and the best hosts we've ever encountered from a rental property!

One of the best, most perfect for our family, beach houses we have ever had the pleasure to stay in! We’ve been coming to Topsail Island for over 20 years. . . With the stage in life my family is in now this house and location in Surf City, worked beautifully for us! My older Mom was able to “live” on the top floor with her own room, bathroom and kitchen and spent her days reading on the porch while enjoying an ocean view. My 18, 23 and 26 year old “children” (and us older kids) were able to walk to Surf City for lunches and nightlife. The house is also the perfect distance to walk the bridge every morning! Make sure to do some funny walking when passing the Little Loggerhead house on your way! The house was so clean and nicely decorated. Jill and Joe are so kind and responsive to messages. You will not be disappointed staying here!

We had a great family beach vacation at this house! It was very clean upon arrival and we could tell has been well taken care of. We had one small maintenance problem and the owners were quick to respond/fix the issue with no hassle. We had 2 families of 5 and were able to spread out for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and we had plenty of room to eat and relax. The beach was beautiful, not crowded, and easy to access. I would highly recommend staying here! Thanks to Joe and Jill!
