OCEANVIEW - WALK TO TOWN TO AVOID THE TRAFFIC, HOT TUB & HEATED POOL

This property has it all. Highest reviews, new 6-person hot tub, large private heated pool with slide and the perfect location that is very walkable to downtown Surf City! This large beach home is perfect for 2 families with great sleeping options for 11 people and 3 full bathrooms + an outside private shower and 2 water heaters. It is one of the premium vacation properties on the island. 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, bars, 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 beach chairs, ping-pong table, gas grill, highchair, baby gate, pack & play and a second overflow refrigerator in the downstairs storage area.
This ocean view 2nd row home has two beach accesses just a short walk across the street, literally 100 feet away. After you spend a day at the beach you can enjoy the large private backyard heated swimming pool that includes a slide for hours of enjoyment for the kids while you relax in the hot tub. The back yard is perfect for our guests to relax, sunbathe, listen to music, enjoy your favorite beverage, read, or enjoy an afternoon nap or have a family cookout with the outdoor grill. The pool is very large for the island with 10k gallons and measures 16' x 32' in length with a large slide. It is heated in the cooler months for free (mid-March - October 31st).

The house consists of 2 main floors. The lower main living area contains the kitchen, ½ bath, laundry, dining room, master suite and bath. The kitchen has granite counter tops and is well stocked so you can prepare anything from a large breakfast to spaghetti dinners or burgers on the outside grill. The large dining room table comfortably accommodates 8 guests plus 4 bar stools at the peninsula bar. In the evenings when the sun sets and you are ready to wind down, sink into the large sectional and settle in for relaxation watching the large TV with soundbar. There is also a large front porch that has as a nice outdoor upholstered furniture which is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or happy hour drink. On the second floor the kids have their own space to enjoy their favorite shows, DVDs or games in the upstairs entertainment room. Additionally, upstairs we have 3 bedrooms with 2 king beds and a charming custom built bunk room that contains 3 twin-XL beds & a queen bed. Separating the bedrooms are 2 full bathrooms with double sink vanities. Another full-length covered deck is along the front of the house where you can sit in rocking chairs and have magnificent views of the ocean and pier.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, there is no room for second best and for the “cross your fingers” strategy to selecting a vacation destination. We have put a lot of thought into the house and amenities to ensure you have a great vacation!

The cleaning fee includes maintaining the yard, house & pool which are actually higher than what we are charging our guests.

We had the best time vacationing here. The place was super comfortable with all the kitchen supplies we needed as a multigenerational family of 7! The place felt super clean and beds and furniture were comfortable! The kids loved the water slide and even in cooler late October the heated pool was great! Would definitely stay here again!

If you are looking for home away from home, great location, full ocean sounds and view and 1 minute easy walk to beach and fabulous pool with water slide, this is it and more! Very well supplied, very comfortable beds. Owner is easy to contact and seems to genuinely care that you enjoy your stay. We will return for round 3 next summer!

We had such a wonderful stay! The home was right across from the public beach access which was perfect for our young kids. We enjoyed our time at the pool and hot tub too! The house was clean and well kept. The owners were available if we needed anything.

This is our third year staying at this wonderful property. The owners maintain this house so well. The proximity to the beach is great with 3 young kids. The outdoor space is our favorite part; including a pool, waterslide, hot tub and outdoor shower. The house is clean and well stocked. We have already booked our trip for next summer!

Our family trip to Topsail would not be complete if unable to stay here. This was our 4th time and I could not be more complimentary. Eric is so easy to communicate with and the property is always in top condition. Having a pool is such a delight and our kids (and grown ups!) love the slide. There is plenty of room for us all and location is unbeatable. We are already looking forward to next year!

Our family had a wonderful week staying at this home! We have always used the big name management companies to rent from in the past and have always been very, very disappointed. This home is hands down the cleanest, most well maintained and cared for beach home we have ever stayed in. We would absolutely rent this home again!

The property was just as described and more. We had EVERYTHING we could have needed in the kitchen and lots of entertainment options/things to do for a bigger group. The pool with a slide was a hit with our group! The owners were very kind, attentive and have thought through everything guests need for a perfect stay.

We had such a wonderful time and the home was perfect! My only suggestion would be to have more baby gates as the home has lots of stairs and there needs to be away to prevent the little ones from going up or falling down the stairs.

We had the most wonderful week here! Spacious and clean house with so many little details to make your stay better. The beautiful, heated pool was a major highlight for us! Being able to walk to the beach just across the street made it so easy to go for quicker trips or walks without having to prepare for a whole day at the beach. Many delicious, local restaurants within walking or biking distance. The owners were wonderful. We can’t wait to come back soon!
