About this property

Your EmOceanal Rescue!

Sit back and relax at this lovely four (4) bedroom, three (3) full and two (2) half bath beach home conveniently located in Surf City, Topsail Island, North Carolina! Our home is located just one row off the beach with gorgeous beach and intracoastal waterway views! And beach access is a one minute walk down the street. We are just far enough away from the 'center' of town to allow for some peace and quiet; but, if you'd like to go out for lunch, dinner, or shopping, we're just over a two minute drive from these Surf City amenities.

Our home boasts a spacious, but comfortable, living area with beautiful ocean views, a large open dining space (table fits 10!), a wonderful, fully stocked kitchen with ample storage and counter space. All of the rooms have access to a deck where you can take in either ocean sunrises or intracoastal sunsets. Our home, being four floors, has an elevator that services all four (4); that makes loading and unloading cars a breeze. The two-car garage opens up to a roomy four car driveway. It comes equipped with an outdoor shower in the back and easy access keyless entry exterior doors throughout! We have also stocked the house with beach towels, chairs, and toys. Theres a high chair for the littles, as well as a pack-n-play. We tried to think of everything so all you need to bring is yourself!

Great Home for Surf City Vacation
This is the second year we've stayed at Caitlin's place. We enjoyed it even more than last year. Caitlin does a great job maintaining the property and making guests feel welcome. It's just a really nice place to convene and enjoy the family being together. We'll look to stay again.

Why they chose this property

Less than five minutes to the beach. And an absolutely great beach it is!

What makes this property unique

This house is amazing, from the reverser floor plan with the Master on the top floor to every floor having ocean views to having that space in the garage to hang out when the weather turns sours, this place was fantastic.
