About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Across the street from the beach!! 4/3 with Spectacular views & ELEVATOR!

Escape to Driftwood Den... your ultimate, beach side sanctuary where convenience meets coastal charm. Just steps away from the serence sound and directly across the street from the beach--complete with a public access to include restrooms, showers, free parking & in season snack shop. Feast your eyes on the panoramic views from almost every window. Begin your day curled up on the living room couch, savouring your coffee as you watch the emerging sunrise over the ocean. As night falls, unwind on the back deck with your favorite drink in hand, to watch the calming sunset. Cast a line or paddle a canoe right from your backyard, with rentals or fishing at your fingertips. Driftwood Den isn't just a getaway-it's where unforgettable memories are made. Book a stay and create your own memories today!!

Kiddos and adults alike can be entertained and unleash their creativity drawing on the chalkboard wall while you easily unpack using the elevator. Please be patient with the elevator, it is residential so it is much slower than commercial types.

The house features a reverse floor plan with 4 outdoor decks. 3 Decks are covered and one is not.

The second floor offers the Primary Suite with a king bed and full bathroom. It also includes one queen bedroom and one bedroom with 2 twin beds, with a shared bathroom between those two rooms. The third floor features an open floor plan with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room, and additional queen bedroom and a full bathroom.

All four bedrooms and the living room include newer flat screen ROKU tvs with Spectrum cable.

4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms
Maximum Occupancy: 8 people,

Great getaway vacation rental, NOT a party or event house. Primary guest over the age of 25 welcome.


LINENS are provided at no extra charge. (bed sheets, washclothes, hand towels & bath towels)

Pack your favorite beach towels and gear for a fun-filled day by the shore. We may have some chairs/boogie boards available for you to enjoy, but since items can sometimes go missing or break, we can't guarantee they'll be there.

For a weekend getaway, we've got you covered with plenty of essentials like hand soap, papertowels, toilet paper, trash bags, and detergents. You should have everything you need but as your stay lengthens or if you have specific preferences, you might want to bring your own. Personal bathing & hygiene products NOT provided, please bring your own.


****NO PETS ALLOWED*** (Owner has Right to cancel immediately if found on the property and apply $500 fee if pets are discovered on property)

***NO SMOKING***

No minimum night stay but cleaning fee stays the same because a professional cleaning service has to clean everything regardless of how many days stayed.


Check In: at 4:00 PM
Check Out PROMPTLY at : 10:00AM

On departure please load and start the dishwasher with dirty dishes. Also load and start the washing machine with used towels, please use bleach. Do NOT strip beds, cleaning personnel will do that, things go missing when guests do it. Remove all your garbage & food from the home. The cleaning service fee you are charaged is exactly what it cost me to have the home professionally sanitized and to wash the linens...it's not me cleaning it, like other homeowners may choose to do. If for some reason you run into a situation where the home is not cleaned when you arrive, please call me immediately so I can try to make it right.

Trash/Recycle days are Wednesdays year round. In addition, during peak season May-October for the trash ONLY there is an additional picked up day on Saturday too. Please put trash bins by the mailboxes at the main road the night before so they can be picked up the next morning. Bring bins promptly back to the home after trash pick up because the city imposes fees. Please see the refrigerator for complete instructions about check out and trash procedures.

Great for a family vacation!

We wanted a place walking distance to the beach and with a terrific view, and that’s just what this rental is! A 2-minute walk to the beach and a spectacular view of the intercostal waterway. The house itself is the perfect beach house - lots of windows and sunlight. We’d definitely come back.

Comfortable house in great location!

Very nice house with plenty of room. Great location near beach access and close to restaurants and shops. The outdoor shower was a great help when returning from the beach, and the elevator was very handy for putting the luggage, groceries, etc in. Nice views from all the balconies. Very clean and comfortable, definitely recommend!

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Driftwood Den. Danielle was so communicative and quickly answered any questions! The porch areas were fantastic and we so enjoyed drinking coffee while enjoying quiet morning time outside. (-: Cannot beat the location- right across from the beach! We hope to make this an annual vacation and would love to return again next year. Highly recommend!

Family fun

My family thouroughly enjoyed our mini vacation at Driftwood Den. The house was amazing with all the essentials needed especially the cookware. Although the weather was a little rainy, we were able to visit the Missle Musuem and The Karen Beasley Turtle Rehabilitation Center. My famil would definitely book this home again if the need arises. Thank you for opening ths home to us.

Family vacation

We loved the property. I rent somewhere on the island every year and this house was the cleanest I’ve ever seen. It is very comfortable and a short walk to the beach access. My one and only complaint, is that the kitchen needs new frying pans. Other than that I highly recommend this property.

Weekend getaway

My family and I had an anniversary party in Surf City to attend and needed somewhere that would sleep 6-7 and with an elevator. This beautiful place fit the bill and was located close to the venue as well. It’s also right across the street from the beach access. The kitchen is open to the family room and has wonderful views of the marsh. The master bedroom was roomy and we all loved the fact that each bedroom had a small sound machine. Danielle was responsive and helpful. We will definitely stay here again the next time we plan a trip to Surf City and highly recommend!

Twice as nice

This was our second time staying at the Driftwood Den. We loved the comfort of familiarity. We love the closeness to the ocean. The elevator comes in handy with bringing in suitcases, groceries, and those of us with asthma. Possibility of staying again is high.

Absolutely wonderful.

This spacious home is a gem! Super clean, the kitchen is fully stocked with very nice dishes (actual glasses not old plastic cups) and appliances that work, furniture is so comfortable, decks on bedrooms, an amazing COVERED deck (we sat out there when it was raining and it was so peaceful) the view is spectacular!!! It was one of the best houses we’ve ever stayed at. The owner is available to any and all concerns. We will definitely stay here again.

I Wish We Lived Here

We love this vacation stay! Our family has so many special memories associated with this property over the years. From peaceful mornings on the deck overlooking the sound to breathtaking sunsets in the evening, leisurely strolls across the road to the beach or sitting on the comfy couch surrounded by a panorama of sparkling Topsail water and sky on three sides, this home is where you want to spend your next trip to the ocean and make some great memories with your special ones like we have. As we sat on the top deck listening to the ocean my youngest said, "I wish we lived here". Yep, that pretty much says it all.

One of the best beach houses my family and I have rented over the years. The house was spacious, clean, and had fantastic views. The host made sure our stay was enjoyable and was great with communication. This was our second stay in this home and I’m sure we’ll be back for a third.

The house was perfect for our family of 6. Super close to the beach access plus beautiful views of the sound. The open top floor was great for hanging out together.
