Dig'n It: Canalfront Home with Hot Tub and Dock

Tucked along the quiet canals of Surf City, Dig’n It is a relaxed waterfront getaway designed for families, friends, and dog lovers alike. This canalfront home offers peaceful marsh views, a fully fenced backyard perfect for pets, and a private gazebo over the water — an ideal spot for morning coffee or sunset evenings. After a day at the beach, unwind in the hot tub sheltered beneath the covered deck.

Inside, the main living area is bright and open, with large windows framing the waterway and an easy flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. A built-in wine cooler in the living room makes relaxing evenings effortless, and a selection of games provides easy entertainment for all ages. Downstairs, the converted garage game room offers even more fun with ping pong, foosball, darts, and cornhole.

The home sleeps 15 across six bedrooms. On the main floor, you’ll find a streetside king bedroom, two queen bedrooms that share a full bath, and a separate room with a sleeper sofa for flexible sleeping space. Upstairs, the primary king suite offers beautiful water views, a private bath, a dedicated desk area, and its own private deck overlooking the canal — perfect for morning coffee or catching up on emails with a view. Also upstairs is a bunk room with a twin-over-twin and twin-over-double bunk, creating a fun retreat for kids and teens.

Step outside to enjoy coastal living at its best. This home features a private canalfront dock with ladder access, perfect for fishing, crabbing, or launching a kayak or paddleboard you bring along. The property does not include a boat lift or boat ramp; the nearest public boat launch is at Soundside Park. And when you’re ready for sand and surf, the closest public beach access is just 0.3 miles away — an easy walk or quick ride from the house. With its fenced yard, hot tub, water views, and easy indoor–outdoor flow, Dig’n It makes it effortless to slow down, settle in, and enjoy life by the water.

TOPSAIL ISLAND GENERAL INFO-
WiFi: WiFi signal strength is NOT guaranteed at your rental for remote work or remote learning. We are located on a barrier island and do not have cellular towers on the island. This, coupled with the increase of guests in our area, creates an inconsistent cellular signal that is outside of our control and therefore, compensation is NOT given.   

Beach Nourishment: Beach nourishment projects help preserve and protect Topsail Island’s shoreline. Most projects are scheduled annually between November and April and may involve large pipes on the beach, trucks moving sand, and other equipment to rebuild and maintain our dunes. Timelines and locations can shift without notice, and we are not always informed in advance. While we understand this may impact your beach experience, refunds or compensation will not be provided for disruptions related to beach nourishment. For the latest updates, we recommend checking the town websites for Topsail Beach, Surf City, or North Topsail Beach. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about potential beach impacts during your stay.

Water Pressure Notice: Please be aware that during popular rental dates, especially in the mornings and evenings, there may be temporary reductions in water pressure. This is a common occurrence across the island as many visitors are getting ready for the day or returning from the beach. We recommend planning showers and other water-related activities accordingly to avoid inconvenience.

Public Parking: The Town of Surf City enforces “Pay to Park” from March 1-Oct 31 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm in the Surf City Public Beach Access Parking Lots and other marked Public Parking Lots. The Town of North Topsail Beach will enforce “Pay to Park” from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM year-round. Onslow County operates three public parking areas/beach accesses within the Town of North Topsail Beach. To the best of our knowledge the county intends to continue operating these lots free of charge.

Leave No Trace: Topsail Island enforces a "Leave No Trace" policy in order to protect our shoreline, meaning you must remove all items, including tents and chairs, from the beach each day. Any items left behind are subject to theft, removal by the town, or possibility of being washed away by the ocean.

Turtle Nesting Season: From May to October, Topsail Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles. Be mindful of marked nests, limit oceanside deck lights, and follow local guidelines to protect them.
