About this property
Ruff Life - Classic Island Cottage with 4 Bedrooms and View of the Ocean. Dog
If this is the “Ruff Life” then who needs the Good Life? When you take your family, including your four-legged friend, on a much needed vacation to the beach, you'll find everything you need in this joyful 4 bedroom gem with a great sunroom. This home features an open floor plan, two queen bedrooms and two twin beds as pass throughs for additional guests.
Enjoy dinner, drinks and the beautiful blue Atlantic view seated at the high-top table in the front enclosed sunroom, or relax with the cook around the butcher block kitchen island. The open floor plan makes socializing a breeze in this 1 story bright, retro styled classic beach cottage whimsically decorated with lively paintings of furry and feathered friends and pops of color.
Your beach access is located directly across the street! Since this house is located on a corner lot, not only will you have loads of parking, you’ll have extra space for Fido to play fetch. When you have had enough sun and sand, come on back and enjoy a hot outdoor shower and hose off your pooch and all those toys.
Sweet Dreams - Linens included for all reservations 7 nights or longer
Two queen size rooms are located at the back of the home for peaceful slumber. Each room includes an additional pass thru space with a twin bed tucked inside for additional guests - what an innovative use of space! The shared bathroom may just be one of the cutest ones you will see on the island - with rolling barn doors and sea glass colored tile.
North Back Bedroom - Queen Bed with walk thru to North Middle Bedroom with Twin Bed
South Back Bedroom - Queen Bed and TV with walk thru to South Middle Bedroom with Twin Bed
One full bath (shower) shared by all
Location:
Your beach rental is located approximately 2.5 miles south of the Surf City high rise bridge. You'll be near the central part of Topsail Island which puts you close to restaurants, shops, Surf City Pier and more!
