About this property

Beach Magic

You deserve a vacation at " LUNA Y SOL BY THE SEA". Wake up to the sound of the crashing waves, smell the salty sea air, & watch the dolphins swim by as you sit on the deck ....take a few steps off of it and get sand between your toes. Walk to town for shopping or to nosh at the awesome restaurants. Cook up a delicious dinner in the fully loaded open air kitchen with cooktop, double ovens and warming drawer. Take an afternoon nap on the couch as you look out thru the wall of glass doors at the blue sea. Retreat to the downstairs 2nd family room for some quiet time. Also perfect for multi-family vacations; space for everyone.

The upper level has a wall of glass french doors looking out onto the ocean which is the main living area: kitchen (wash dishes as you watch dolphins!) and dining. The main bedroom is to the left of the main living area (complete with main bath and very large walk in closet) and the other two upstairs bedrooms are to the right of the living area with a bathroom in between them. One of those rooms has a queen bed (sleeps 2 and faces the ocean) and the other room has two separate twin bunks that sleep four.
Downstairs is another completely separate full sized living area with a separate entrance off the patio. It has a wet bar, wall to wall stocked library, full bath and family bunk room (queen bed, and a twin over full bunk-- room sleeps 5). Perfect if you're traveling with another family or with multi-generational family members because everybody can find private space when needed, and then gather in the main living area or oceanfront deck when wanting to socialize. Our home sleeps 13 comfortably. In 2026, we created a private outdoor space off the downstairs entrance complete with grill and additional steps to the upstairs deck. Perfect for grilling, gathering and enjoying family moments and great friendships.

What are you waiting for? This is our dream beach house and we would love to share it with you!

The kitchen is well equipped with anything you should need and the views from the kitchen/living room and back deck will be hard to beat! We loved watching the dolphins each morning and boats come and go throughout the day. Communications with the hosts always went smoothly and they were quick to reply.

Perfect beach house!

This is my families 4th year doing an annual beach trip together and we’ve been searching for a beach house that we can rebook every year- we finally found it! We loved this beach house so much. The owners take great care of it & you can tell they’ve made several upgrades. The front porch was by far our favorite hangout spot, all the updates to it are great! The home is well stocked with cooking equipment if you choose to cook. The home is in an awesome location and not far from several restaurants! We look forward to coming back next year!

Great location and home

It was a beautiful spot and home. Even though there were a few unforeseen issues the owners were very responsive and were very on top of it. You can’t ask for a better spot. If I had one critique, it would be I wish the bedrooms had more normal beds instead of so many bunks but we did know that going in based on pictures. Either way you won’t be disappointed here.

We hope that you and your family enjoy the rest of the warm summer days, and will stay with us again. Warm regards, Chris & Robert

We are a family of five that enjoys each other's company and sharing our time with family and friends. Our favorite things to do are to travel together, play board games, spend time in the garden and out in nature, watching baseball & football, and most of all spending lazy days on the beach. We are advocates of Mother Nature--doing our best to keep her clean and respecting all her "children". We are excited to make new memories here in Surf City and offer our home to you to do the same. We hope that you will always find the magic in each of life's moments, and may your days be filled with love, laughter, and lots of Beauty.

Why they chose this property

Surf City is a wonderful place with friendly people who appreciate a warm, family atmosphere. Our neighbors on either side of us live there year round and are kind and helpful, and in the local area there is a compassionate group of people who dedicate their time to rescuing sea turtles, as well as, assisting baby sea turtles back to the ocean. We feel quite blessed to be part of a community that is respectful, good-natured, and fun.

What makes this property unique

I think what makes our property unique is us. We work hard to make sure everything is in good working condition and appreciate feedback from guests when assistance is needed. We act quickly to ensure the matter is taken care of in a timely fashion. We are really good communicators and want to ensure that your stay is fun, safe and enjoyable. We supply everything we can, and do our best to update our home each year with little and sometimes big projects. We love guests who take care of our home and treat it respectfully. We know that staying at hotels or resorts are always enjoyable, but it means a great deal to us that you chose to stay in our place. We enjoy being "in service" so that your well earned vacation is spent in the best way possible. Our home is cozy and sweet and fully of Beach Magic.
