About this property

3-bedroom house in fantastic family-friendly Surf City, 2 min walk to the beach.

Welcome to Sperm Whales and Mermaid Tails,
Our Family’s Happy Place by the Sea!

Make yourself at home in our family’s cherished beach retreat, a spacious and cheerful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home just a 2-minute walk from the sand and surf in beautiful Surf City. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, relaxation, and connection, this home is the perfect coastal getaway for families or a group of friends looking to create lasting memories together.

Step inside to find a bright and welcoming space with room for up to 8 guests. Bedroom 1 features a comfy queen bed and a private full bath, while Bedroom 2 offers another queen bed and shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with Bedroom 3, which is outfitted with two full beds, perfect for kids or extra guests. Need a little more sleeping room? Tucked away under the stairs, you'll find a cozy twin bed nook, ideal for a reading spot or an extra guest.

The open-concept living area invites you to relax and unwind, whether you're lounging with a book, streaming a movie with our included WiFi, or enjoying the cool comfort of central AC. A full washer and dryer make beach days a breeze, and the hot and cold outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off sandy toes after fun in the sun.

Our vacation rental includes a 50-amp RV plug-in, perfect for campers or electric vehicle charging.

Enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails on the front or back porch, both furnished with plenty of outdoor seating for conversation or quiet time. The spacious driveway has plenty of room for parking, including space for your boat if you're bringing one along for adventure.

Hop on one of the two included beach cruiser bikes and explore the island with ease. We're just one mile from the heart of Surf City’s shops and local favorites like Daddy Mac’s, Shaka Taco, The Daily Grind, and High Waters Social, whether you're craving seafood, tacos, or a great coffee.

We’d be honored to host you and your loved ones at Sperm Whales and Mermaid Tails and hope you'll make lifelong memories at our little slice of paradise.
