About this property

Best Surf City Location! Beach Access+Ocean Views!

Welcome to Surf Landing—your launchpad for the perfect Surf City vacation! 🏖️

If location is everything, then Surf Landing has it all. Our 5-bedroom, dog-friendly beach house sits right across the street from super easy beach access (yes, that close!) and is just steps to every local favorite—coffee shops, ice cream, restaurants, shopping, the pier... you name it, you're a flip-flop stroll away. No driving, no hassle, just vacation mode on.

☕ Need a morning latte? Walk to The Daily Grind.
🍩 Craving donuts? Daybreak is around the corner.
🌮 Taco run? Shaka Taco is 0.2 miles away.
🐢 Something for the kids? The Touch Tank Aquarium is a short stroll.
🍤 Dinner plans? Walk to Beauchaine’s, Daddy Mac’s, or Buddy’s.
🛍️ Forgot sunscreen? Surf City Gifts & 50 South Surf Shop are practically next door.
🧂 Seafood night in? Topsail Steamer (as seen on Shark Tank!) is on the same block.

Inside, the house is clean, comfy, and fully stocked so you can actually relax. No running to the store for paper towels or dish soap—we’ve got all the essentials (plus beach towels, chairs, toys, and more). Your beds will be made, fresh towels will be waiting, and the only thing you'll need to pack is your swimsuit and sunscreen.

🛏️ Sleeping arrangements:

2 King bedrooms (1 w/ ensuite + deck access)
2 Queen bedrooms
1 cozy bunk room (great for kids!)
3 full bathrooms
Sleeps 10

🌅 Three decks to choose from—two with ocean and pier views, and one out back for sunset views over the swing bridge (plus a gas grill ready for your burgers or fresh catch).

🐶 Bringing your pup? We love dogs! Surf Landing is pet-friendly, and Surf City is too—you'll see plenty of furry friends at outdoor restaurants and on the beach. (pet fee applies.)

🧼 Need to clean off sandy feet? Our enclosed outdoor shower with hot/cold water has you covered.

🏡 Whether you're here for beach days, pier walks, seafood feasts, or sunset cocktails, Surf Landing puts you in the center of it all—and we’ve made sure your stay is as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Book now and get ready to park the car and forget it—you won’t need it again!

Unplanned quick trip

We discovered on Christmas Eve that our daughter’s airline flights were delayed to the point she would miss her connection home. So I immediately found this property for us to meet her and spend some time together. It came together so easy and the property is phenomenal.l would like to go back when we can fully use the property. And a bottle of wine to enjoy on Christmas Day when we couldn’t find any to buy was a total bonus !!! Love this and will return.

Awesome Stay - Great location!

I took my daughter here for a quick getaway. The house is awesome! Large enough for 8-10 people comfortably, clean, great layout, and walking distance to restaurants, shopping and of course, the beach. Communication from the owner was fantastic. We had no issues, so we didn't need to bother them. I will definitely look to stay at this property again. Very satisfied with our stay here. Highly recommend.

Family bacation

This house is really close to the beach and restaurants. You can’t go wrong with the location. Our family of 6 adults and 4 young kids had plenty of room. It does have a lot of stairs, so you have to be careful of that.

About the host

Hosted by Krisha McCoy

Host profile image
Our family of seven lives in the Charleston area, and we enjoy spending time in both the beaches and mountains of NC with our kids and extended family.

My family built Twin Landings in 1993, and we have made incredible family memories there ever since, as have the many other families who have rented it over the years. Our love of Twin Landings has grown into our small family business, Carolina Landings. In addition to Twin Landings, Surf Landing is located on the second row in the S-curve, in the heart of Surf City. Soundside Landing is a waterfront home on the intracoastal in the Island Oaks neighborhood, almost directly across the island from Twin Landings. Serenity Landing in Serenity Point on the southern tip of the island is our newest property, located in Topsail Beach.

Our mountain property, Wolf Ridge, is a chalet-style cabin located in Murphy, NC and offers gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

What makes this property unique

THE DETAILS:
Inside are 5 BEDROOMS (1 King/3 queen/1 set of twin bunks), 3 FULL BATHROOMS, a top-floor open living space & fully equipped kitchen. The house has THREE DECKS: 2 on the front with ocean & pier views, and a back deck, perfect for grilling and enjoying the sunset. Plus an outdoor hot/cold enclosed shower right outside the master bedroom slider!

🐶 We would love to host your dogs! We allow up to 2 well-trained dogs for a $150 (+tax) flat pet fee. (Sorry, no cats due to allergies.) Dogs are welcome on the beach in Surf City, and you will see many people dining outside with their dogs at the local restaurants.

CLEANING FEE INCLUDES ALL LINENS AND BEACH TOWELS! Your beds will be freshly made (with the exception of the top bunk in the bunk room, where clean sheets will be provided if you need them), and beach and bath towels provided. We also often hear how happy our guests are that we provide all the "extras." We stock the house with paper products, detergents, soaps, toiletries, etc, so that you don't have to run out to get every single little thing. But if you need something...the OG Surf City grocery store, the IGA, is just a few steps away.
