About this property

SUNSHINE condo - 5 star rated 1BR condo on Topsail Island 6 years!

OFF-SEASON SPECIAL: Monthly rental program Dec 1 through Apr 1 an amazing $1,500 a month!

Spacious living room with gorgeous second floor views of ocean and pool from the private balcony and living room. Ocean front community with access to shops and restaurants. Super comfy king bed in master. We focus on couples and allow only 3 people max which means our condo is cleaner and in better condition than most. We work hard to keep it looking THE BEST unit in the Surf.

We have opened up the kitchen ceiling so it is spacious and filled with natural light from the living room. We updated the lighting and paint as well. We are allowing guests to use our downstairs storage locker at no cost to store your beach chairs/etc. You can also use our items inside knowing if you break something, replace it. Also if you want to leave items you don't want to bring home and in new condition, leave in the locker for others to use.

******Our cleanliness standards are 5 star and we strictly follow all CDC guidelines.****

------ Please note - 2021 bookings forward: We no longer offer any bedding, linens, towels, etc. The company listed below is highly recommended and services most of the island rentals: website is: sweetdreamlinens.com or call 910.328.5312. They deliver to our condo. We do provide a starter kit of bathroom items so you can just drop your luggage off and hit the beach or pool. The view from the living room and balcony overlooks the beautiful courtyard, new pool and of course the gorgeous Atlantic ocean. **Pool opens early April and remains open until end of October.


*4 Golf courses within 15 minutes of condo. Restaurants and shopping are less than 1 mile away. The master bedroom has a king size bed with nightstands and dresser for your storage needs. A private 1/2 bath is adjacent to the master bedroom and includes a full size clothes closet. Additional guest sleeping is accommodated with a twin bed tucked away in a cozy alcove. The entire unit was recently renovated and we pride ourselves on spending money each year to keep the unit sparkling. A full kitchen with new cabinets includes all appliances including oven & cooktop, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Other appliances include Keurig coffee maker and toaster oven. The unit has all new flooring and and has been freshly painted. In addition, the unit has a brand new sliding door for access to the deck for viewing the ocean and new pool complex. Your family can enjoy their meals at the breakfast bar, the dining room table or out on the lovely wooden deck. Access to the pool or ocean is just steps away from unit 522. You never have to leave the property to enjoy the pool or sand beach.

Surf Condominiums has a NEW full washer and dryer facility located on site and also provides off street private parking for owners and guests. Surf City is very safe and family friendly beach community. We provide keyless entry to our complex entrance and remote keyless entry to our condo. NO keys required.

We really enjoyed our stay! We stayed over Labor Day weekend and fully expected it to be loud. Considering everything it was a quiet stay with the exception of occasional foot traffic from above. The WiFi was in and out but we didn’t mind. King bed was comfy! Our favorite was the view, how close it was to the beach and the pool! We would definitely plan another stay here!

Best possible stay. Most condos in the area are corporate run, but Hunt is local and even came by himself to fix a door that was off its hinges before our check in. He also let us check in early. This was amazing and we hope to be back!

Topsail never disappoints

No matter where I stay on the island we always have a great time. Your place is no exception. The surf is great because it's ocean front and has a pool. Your home was beautiful and fully stocked. It was a pleasure staying there and will do so again. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with my family!

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay so very much. The location was great. We walked to The Daily Grind every morning for coffee. Then walked over the bridge and back to the condo to enjoy a day at the beach and a day at the wonderful pool. The home was clean and comfy. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Best R & R!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay last week! Perfect accommodations and amenities at the beach; it felt like home-away-from-home. We enjoyed coffee on the porch listening to the surf and long walks on the beach. Perfect way to begin my retirement. We hope to return soon.

Best condo ever!

The condo looks even better in person than in the pictures! The neighborhood is great and the location is perfect. The view from the balcony of the pool and the ocean is wonderful. Hunt and Leigh were the nicest and most helpful and communicative hosts. Sometimes at a rental, the furniture feels cheap and not very comfy but all of their furniture was beautiful AND very comfortable. My boyfriend and I can’t wait to make staying here a yearly tradition.

vacation Topsail NC

This was our first visit to Topsail Beach, NC. My husband and I stayed at the Sunshine Condo hosted by Hunt and Leigh Reifschneider. Our hosts were wonderful. We were able to contact them with any questions and they promptly responded . The Condo was immaculate and nicely decorated . It was so cute. My favorite was the kitchen which was well equipped including a dishwasher and a kuerig coffee machine.Was able to see ocean from the deck. We had access to a wonderful , beautiful,clean pool. We had great beach access which was on the grounds,just a short walk from the Condo. The grounds were very well kept. It was also great to have a beach locker on site in which to put your sandy beach stuff in. Felt the complex to be in a very safe area with security available and property manager on site if needed.Look forward to going back again. Thank you Hunt and Leigh!

About the host

Hosted by Hunt Reifschneider

Host profile image
Hunt & Leigh are now living in Surf City, NC. We moved from Frisco, Texas near Dallas because we love Topsail Beach/Surf City and have been visiting NC for many years. We want to share our joy and excitement with as many people as we can. We decided to buy a great vacation spot that family and friends alike can enjoy. Seeing dolphins is almost a daily gift as well. This is truly a blessing.

Why they chose this property

Love the beach, love NC, love the relaxing atmosphere, love the freedom to enjoy year round, weather is awesome all the time. This location is ideal as it is within walking distance of the downtown area where there are great restaurants, shops and a grocery store. Walking the beach daily is a great way to unwind and ground yourself. In a world that is chaos, this is the antidote.

What makes this property unique

Quiet walks, easy access in/out of beach, great local seafood, great fishing, biking, walking. Access to the ocean is absolutely amazing. The view will be spectacular and you will leave all your stress behind. Also enjoy the wonderful pool after a long day at the beach. Surf Condo's is a very friendly neighborhood vibe. Everyone you meet will be a friend.
