LOCATION!
Located on the quiet and convenient "S" Curve, this beautiful standalone home is in walking distance to everything in the center of town which is less than a mile away. Choose from over 15 eating establishments from upscale eateries for romantic date nights overlooking the beach to snow cones and ice cream with the kiddos on a hot day. The home is second row which is directly across from the beach with 2 beach access points just a few houses down. Watch the ocean crash on the sand with ocean views from the front upper deck or relax in the shade and people watch on the lower front deck; there are tons of walkers, runners and bicyclists that go by.

POOL!
The home has a private fenced in saltwater pool! This is a Blue Hawaiian brand Bayshore model holding 9.5K gallons of water; so get the whole family in the pool at the same time. Ever been to a house that says they have a pool only to discover their "pool" seems like a small hole in the ground; yeah - our pool is not that! A huge enclosed outdoor shower is located right by the pool so rinsing off the sand from the beach is super simple. Opened April 1st - Oct 21st

OUTDOOR LIVING!
There are 2 large decks on the front ocean side of the home. From the upper you can watch the ocean crash on the sand and from the lower you can relax in the shade.
The back side of the home offers a back upper deck with endless sunset and sounds views. The back deck is above the pool in the back yard so you can still be a part of the pool crowd without going to the pool. All decks and the pool area have tons of furniture. Ever been to a beach place with hardly any furniture to hang out on? Yeah - it's not cool. Our place has high quality HDPE furniture made from recycled plastic on all 3 decks and by the pool. Choose from chaise lounge chairs to lay by the pool, cozy Adirondack chairs or high counter top style tables and chairs that allow an unobstructed view of the ocean!

SERENITY INSIDE - FULLY FURNISHED
The top floor features an open concept, beautifully furnished living, dining and kitchen area along with the tranquil master bedroom suite with a King size bed with a large private bath with shower and soaking tub. Half bath is also on the top floor and amazing ocean views are included! The kitchen is also fully furnished (coffee maker, Keurig single, toaster, blender, all cookware, etc.). On the first floor are four generous bedrooms with two full bathrooms. 3 Bedrooms have Queen beds with Ocean views and your own sliding glass door to go onto the deck and the back bedroom has 2 sets of bunk beds (twin over double and twin over twin). TV/DVD/Roku Stick and Cable are in all the bedrooms. Washer/Dryer are conveniently located on first floor also.
NO SMOKING ALLOWED.

1st stay in Topsail

Wonderful location. Close to beach access and activities/dining. Quiet beach, was never over crowded. Lovely pool that was big enough for everyone. The kids loved that each bedroom had its own tv. Great communication with the hosts and we loved that bath towels and sheets were provided. Definitely visit the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue!

This home was perfect for our gathering of family and friends. They welcome your dogs and the location of this home was great to walk your dog and ride your bike or even run/walk for exercise. Its also not far from some of our favorite restaurants and the pier. There are 2 beach access very close. The view from the top deck is amazing. Sitting and having my morning coffee and watching the waves and an actual dolphin made my day. The house was so clean and a beautiful pool area. It was so spacious for all of us to hang together or find a quiet spot to chill. The host was so easy to communicate with and very quick to answer any questions you may have. We will definitely be visiting this property again

Beautiful home in a great location.

I stayed at this beautiful home to celebrate my mother’s 75th birthday with my two sisters and their families. There was plenty of room to accommodate everyone and the house was well stocked and very clean. We will definitely stay here again the next time we vacation in Surf City.

Family Baptism with beach house vacay

The property was clean, well appointed and beautifully decorated. Our family lives in Hampstead so it was a quick drive to their house for the festivities yet still at the beach. The kids loved the private pool. We had a wonderful time!

Great Home Great Host

My wife, son and I spent a long weekend in this rental home. Not only was the property perfect for our needs, but I would recommend the home to anyone looking for a vacation home on Topsail Island. While we have had many great VRBO hosts over the years, in all areas of the Country, John was the best. If you are looking for a perfect vacation rental experience, you will not go wrong here.

Perfect stay

Kitchen stocked well … crockpot & griddle (for those vacation pancakes). House is very clean. Vacuum cleaner is easy assessable to guest to clean up that extra sand. Not only can you see The ocean from the deck, you can hear it. Bikes available for riding into town. This was our 2nd stay at this property. Host responds immediately.

Best rental I've ever stayed at

Beach rentals always disappoint me in some way, but not this one. This one was just perfect! The owners take great care of this property - it's clean, spacious, and comfortable (which is a rare gem)! We were so happy with this rental, we wish we could buy it and live there! John was great to deal with and everything in the house was exactly as described. He provides great detail upon booking and everything was just as expected!

Home away from home but better!

Our stay was amazing! It felt like home with all the comforts of home at the beach. My 3 sons were comfortable in the home and spent a lot of time in the pool. A little chilly so early in the year. Boys are crazy! The house was beautiful clean and had everything we needed for the stay. The house is easy to get around with nice wide steps. My 70 year old mom had not issues navigating the home. Lots of out door space by the pool and on the decks. We were very close to the beach access and could watch the ocean from the deck.Close to food, shops and fun. I would recommend staying here! Bring your clothes get some groceries and relax! We will definitely be back when our boys schedules allow. Thank you to the Bailey family for having such a great place to stay.

Wonderful and Spacious

We had the best time staying at this house and John was such a fantastic and responsive host. This was so close that most of the time we rode bikes in to town, and an easy walk to the beach. We had a low country boil one night and had all the cooking utensils we needed. Although the pool wasn’t open we enjoying hanging around the back areas as the beach was really windy some days. Plenty of beds and bath for all our family and friends that were very spacious and tons of deck space! Truly a gem sitting out on the porch and drinking coffee and enjoying the beach views.

Wonderful Beach Rental!

We had an amazing stay at de Lime in de Coconut Beach House! The house was perfect with a beach access a half block away in either direction, close enough to the pier to walk but far enough for the beaches to never be too crowded. The pool area and multiple decks were an added bonus that we all enjoyed...especially the teens and toddlers! The listing was just as described with thoughtful amenities, a stocked kitchen and plenty of bathrooms and beds. The owner was easy to communicate with from start to finish...we had no issues at all, but no doubt they would have taken care of things if we had! Thank you Bailey's for a wonderful week of memories ☺️

Fabulous Stay!

It was me and 10 other people (3 families total, and we were very comfortable, never feeling like we were on top of each other. It’s a very short walk to the beach, and the pool is a great bonus. The house is well loved and cared for, and John is a great and attentive host. I would absolutely stay here again.

Wow! Treat yourself to a great experience!

John Bailey is an outstanding host of a superb home! Location, clean, well appointed, spacious home! I can’t say enough!! Close to beach but if y’all feel like being lazy the pool is sizeable and a great quiet spot to hang out! Well priced and very well managed. Ample parking, close to amazing restaurants and attractions. Our family nearby visited almost daily and we got lots of “sugars” from the grandkids!

Fantastic!

Beautiful, well-maintained and very clean (I’m picky) beach house with gorgeous ocean views a fabulous built-in pool and patio, and awesome (new) front and back decks! There is an abundance of fresh, colorful deck & patio furniture. My wife is still raving about the outdoor shower.The house is very spacious, perfect for 4 adult women to have their own private space. A short 2-min walk to the beach with reasonable number of steps over the dunes made these 60yo knees happy. And the beach wagon was a nice touch.Restaurants & shops are a quick (1 mi) car, bike or golf cart ride away.The host John was exceptionally communicative and very pleasant.We can’t wait to return!

Perfect Family Gathering

What a great house for our family of ten! The layout of the bedrooms was perfect for us. And I was pleased that the four bedrooms for the adults all had ocean views and walk-out access to a deck or porch, while the kids bunk room did not (smart and safe). The pool is magical and super clean. We spent a lot of time just relaxing around the pool. My little grandkids loved watching the butterflies in the flowers around the pool’s landscaping. And the beach was simply gorgeous. Kudos to John for being very helpful when I needed him and for being a great communicator. The whole family commented on what a great place this is and all said that they would like to come back! We’ve stayed in several other houses up in North Topsail, but this Surf City house is closer to everything. Loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by John Bailey

Host profile image
We are a family of 3 from Holly Springs, NC and love the beach as much as you do!

Why they chose this property

This home is amazing. We both have been coming to the beach since we were children and now take our own little one. Over the years we have figured out what was missing in all the places we have rented over the years and have made sure they are included in this home! From ocean views, to every room on the front having their own sliding glass door and Ocean view to the private saltwater fenced in pool; this house is the ONE!

What makes this property unique

Private Saltwater Pool
Less than 1 mile from downtown nightlife and pier
Ocean Views - 2nd row on quiet "S" curve street to bike/run/walk/people watch
King bedroom on main living with Ocean View!

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
