About this property

Cozy Classic Oceanfront 5-bedroom Beach Cottage in Surf City

This classic 1950’s cottage offers two levels with interior and exterior stairs for your family’s convenience. The main level upstairs welcomes you with the warm wood tones of the knotty pine walls and the charm of yesteryear, with splashes of coastal color. Sink your toes into the new plush carpet and 2 comfy couches. Ocean views and sounds can be enjoyed from the LR and DR as well as both oceanfront bedrooms,(K & Q); the 3rd. a twin bedroom has a partial view. The ground level apartment offers extra space. Tile floor with a seating and small dining area as well as a second kitchen, two bedrooms and game room, make this level ideal for additional family or young adults in your group. The ocean front covered porch is just the spot for taking in the salt air breezes, outside dining, or reading your book. While the large open deck is the best place for soaking up the sun’s rays and enjoying the view of the beach from the rocking chairs. All the charm of the 1950’s and an easy 6 block, 1/2 mile walk on the beach or street, to the heart of Surf City Town and all it has to offer!

We had a very nice week. Great location and we enjoyed the rocking chairs on the deck and also the covered porch. We wish the bathrooms down stairs were nicer and the ovens were standard size to accommodate cooking for a family.

Great location

As mentioned in the previous reviews, the location is just steps away from the beach and is the selling point. Property is a bit dated but we really enjoyed our stay.

Our favorite vacation

We have stayed here before but love it so much we wanted to stay here again. It is the perfect place for a family on a budget. Close enough to shopping that the teenagers were happy. On the beach with a sun deck so momma was happy. The owner is very responsive and the house was spotless! Best vacation and our number one choice for a Topsail Island vacation.

Family stay

Great location. Great deck. Older home, but photos accurately show home. There were issues with the air conditioning during our stay, but I think the owners addressed it immediately before next renters. Definitely would stay here again.

Atwell Family Trip

The Turtles Nest combines historical, cozy style with family-friendly amenities. There is plenty of space in the house, and given the current pandemic conditions, it was easy to stay safely distanced from other visitors on the beach. Easy access to the beach and a beautiful deck view created delightful family memories.

Great simple house right on the beach!

The house was perfect for us. Not fancy, but had everything we needed and most importantly directly on the beach. The porch was fantastic to watch the waves. Comfortable living room and beds. Kitchen had anything you could need.
