About this property

OCEANFRONT + Amazing Views! Near Shops & Restaurants + Linens Included!

Step onto the oceanfront deck, breathe in the salt air and take in the view - you feel as though you're sitting right on the beach! Catch glimpses of dolphins swimming in your backyard and spend the day at the beach with all the conveniences of home just steps away. Then shower off outside in the enclosed warm water shower.

If you're bringing your dog, you will appreciate the deck has a latched gate at all entry points. This is also helpful keeping little ones contained, but please note these are latched, not locked.

Unlike many properties in the area LINENS are included and BEDS are MADE, so you can start enjoying your vacation right when you arrive!

With a King bed in the master, a queen in the second bedroom, full size bunks in the third bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room, the house can accommodate 2 families.

When you’re ready to check out the restaurants, shops, and all things Topsail Island has to offer, you will find the house is ideally located in Surf City on a quiet, low traffic road.

Blue Salt Bungalow is 1.4 miles north of the Surf City Center / Pier, and just 0.5 miles south of several other restaurants and bars (a nice walk up the beach).

Don’t feel like leaving your beach paradise? No problem, bring out your fishing poles to surf fish or grab a book and soak up the vitamin D. Then cook dinner in with the well-stocked kitchen.

If you’re heading to the beach in the winter months, enjoy the oceanfront views from the wall of windows in the warm comfort of your living room or main bedroom!

Blue Salt Bungalow is an oceanfront one level home located off North Shore Drive in Surf City. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large oceanfront deck, breathtaking ocean views, high speed wireless internet, and so much more, Blue Salt Bungalow is the perfect getaway for you and your family! Linens are included in the price and beds are made so you don't start off your vacation doing work!

First Level: At the top of the stairs, the door is on your right, and the ocean is straight ahead! This first and only level contains all living areas, all 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, the beach access, outside shower, and more!

Kitchen: Live like a local and cook your meals in this well stocked kitchen! Fully equipped with stainless steel and black appliances will make whipping up your favorite dishes a breeze! The washer and dryer is also in this area. *Kitchen is being updated in January 2024.

Dining Area: Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area, with room to seat up to 6 people. Utilize the large dining table by serving your meals family-style, or by playing a board game after dinner is finished! Enjoy your first meal of the day basking in the sunlight with a breathtaking view of the ocean.

Living Room: This area features couches and a TV. With a couch, love seat and 2 chairs, there is plenty of room for everyone to get comfortable while winding down with a movie on the large flat screened TV after a long day on the beach or out on the boat! Open the curtains of the large windows to let in the sunshine and take in the spectacular view!

Bedroom One: contains a king sized bed (Helix midnight Luxe). This room also holds a medium sized flat screen TV, large dresser, closet, and a sliding glass door out to the ocean front deck. Start your day with the view of the sunrise over the ocean. This bedroom has an attached bathroom that contains a stand-up shower. The bathroom also has entry from the hall (which can be locked if you prefer to use it as a master en-suite).
Bedroom Two: features a queen sized bed, luggage rack and tv.
Bedroom three: contains a bunk bed with full size beds, a dresser and a tv.

Security Camera: An exterior security camera over the front door, facing the stairs from the driveway, was added to the home in January 2023.

Wonderful Beachfront Vacation
Loved our stay here! Had an amazing week. House has everything and was so clean. Large windows in the house allowed for amazing views even when it was a little chilly outside. Host was wonderful to work with and answered all questions promptly! Loved our time in Surf City!

Awesome New Year's Getaway
Had an absolutely wonderful time during our NYE stay (me, my husband, and our Jack Russell Terrier). Home is a couple roads in from the main road, which makes it more quiet/safer to back out of/into. Location cannot be beat, right on the beach, with private, gated stairs to the beach. Other deck entrance, near the door, also has a gate. Because the bungalow is beachfront, there is not a true yard, this worked for us because we just leashed her/carried her to the beach. Door has a digital lock that worked seamlessly (no need to carry a key!). Deck has plenty of high Adirondack chairs with superb views of the beach/ocean. Inside of bungalow has huge windows all around which makes it beautifully bright/MBR has huge sliders which lets all the natural light come in. MBR is massive/has a bathroom suite attached. All main floors are LVP and there's a broom/dustpan provided so it was easy to sweep up sand brought in. In bed at night, we slept to the sound of the waves crashing, it was so peaceful and relaxing! Bungalow was fully stocked with essentials, even though we brought our own, it's nice it's stocked for when we first arrived and didn't unpack yet. Plenty of plates/silverware/toiletries and the laundry stacker is inside, so no need to travel outside to launder. Dining area was perfect with a good-sized table/chairs to drink coffee and eat breakfast while watching the pelicans fly by. We'd stay here again/hope it's available when we start planning our next trip back!

Great Thanksgiving Treat
I rented for a family thanksgiving getaway could not have been better. Awesome views, me and my 5 year old granddaughter watched sunrise every morning it was beautiful. My son had one day of great surfing because of a storm. Met many great people next door neighbor was great and talking to the many people fishing was lots of fun. Highest recommendation for this beachfront home, great time of the year to enjoy this area

Excellent oceanfront experience
This was the perfect house and location for my escape from reality! Beautiful home. Beautiful beach. Relaxing and quiet. Close to all the things Surf City and Topsail have to offer. Dog friendly! My pup enjoyed the freedom to roam on the gated deck. Michele was an excellent host! I hope to return someday.

Very nice stay and location
We really enjoyed staying at this house. It was right on the beach and we didn’t even have to go outside to enjoy the ocean. We could even hear it at night with all the windows closed and ac on it was lovely. Maybe hard to host 2 families we were just 3 and it was just perfect. It was well stocked with beach chairs and a shelter. We of course brought our own. The only thing we wish was working was the hose outside on the deck. It didn’t fit the spigot. That would have been helpful for spraying our dog off. The location was great for going into town and out for dinner. We really loved the house.

About the host

Hosted by Michele

Host profile image
Hi - Thanks for checking out our vacation home! We are a family of four (myself, husband, son and daughter) and purchased Blue Salt Bungalow in March 2022. We're excited to share this home with you, and use it ourselves whenever we have the chance. We transitioned to self managing this property in October 2022, so we're able provide a more personalized experience, have top notch cleaners and provide the amenities that we like to have when we travel. This is a truly special home and town and we look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Our home is Oceanfront and the ocean is literally right there. Plus, its very close proximity to downtown Surf City (1.4 miles) and 1/2 mile from several restaurants and bars, but with the benefit of being on a quiet road, and less crowded part of the beach. The home can be enjoyed in the spring, summer, fall or the winter, with breathtaking views from almost everywhere in the house.

We love taking walks on the beach to get coffee in the morning in downtown Surf City or walking to Surf City line for lunch or live music in the evening.

As a family that vacations at the beach every year, having easy access to the ocean, visibility to kids playing on the beach from the deck, and the ability to pop back in for a quick meal and snack at any time without the hassle of packing everything you need for a full day of food and activities make a beach vacation so much easier!
There are also 2 parks with playgrounds nearby if you are traveling with younger children. Nelva R Albury Recreation area is 3 blocks away, and Soundside Park is approximately 1.5 miles away.

Blue Salt Bungalow is located within close proximity to grocery stores. Harris Teeter is located on the mainland across the Surf City bridge, and there is a small grocery store less than 1 mile from the house.

What makes this property unique

Oceanfront home on 26 miles of unobstructed walkable beach. Watch the dolphins and other wild life right from the back deck. The wall of windows in the living area, and sliding door and windows in the master make the ocean visible from most areas of the house.

Linens are included in the quoted price and beds are made. No need to pack your sheets and spend your vacation time making beds.

Trips to the beach are so much easier when you're staying right on the ocean. No need to haul food, clothes, games, etc all the way to the beach, when your house is right there. Pop in for lunch or a break from the sun and get right back out to the water.

Also, enjoy the ocean in the winter months from the warm comfort of your living room or main bedroom.
