About this property

"What's In A Name?” Oceanfront, Sleeps 16


This family vacation home is waiting for you! Oceanfront, and sleeps up to 16 of your closest friends and family.

The location of this oceanfront beauty cannot be beat. The view is out of this world. Just 7 blocks south of the Surf City Pier, it sits in the most desired section of South Shore Drive, before the S curve. Very easy walk to the pier, shops, and restaurants.

This property was updated in 2017/2018 and again after Florence. New flooring, shiplap, new kitchen that is very well stocked. Mattresses are top of the line Beauty Rest Platinum Series. We know you want to get a good nights sleep, and you will. Besides, you're on vacation, you deserve it after a long fun day on the beach. You also get all new kitchen appliances, new small appliances, and every utensil you could ask for, AND, nice sharp knives. We also provide a fully stocked spice rack, olive oil, and vinegar. We just ask that if you empty it, you replace it. I try and keep the kitchen stocked with the items that I didn't want to bring when we traveled here for vacation. There are smart TVs, wifi, ceiling fans, and fresh paint. And, the wet bar with wine fridge is the bomb!
We have extremely comfortable high back resin chairs on the roomy deck so you can relax by the ever changing ocean, watch the sun rise, pods of dolphins, the occasional whale, and witness the colorful sky during sunset. You will love sitting under the beautiful night sky, stargazing till your heart's content.

The main living area has a nice big smart TV, and plenty of seating. And did I mention the views? There is a dining area just off the kitchen. Also on the first floor are four bedrooms and three baths. The first bedroom has two twins, the second has one queen, the third has two queens, and the fourth is the oceanfront master king with attached bath. Upstairs you will find a loft, with amazing views( in case I forgot to mention), a smart TV, two built in bunks, one bedroom with a daybed and trundle, and another bedroom with king, and another full bath.

Just off of the living room is a screened in porch, a nice place to relax out of the sun but still be outdoors.

We do not provide linens, you can bring your own, or rent your own. I recommend Sweet Dreams Linens, they do a fantastic job.

Fall of 2020 brought new siding, and the remainder of the new windows.

Do yourself a favor and give this place a chance! Pets will be considered, if cleared with us first. Maximum of two dogs, no cats. There is a pet fee.

We look forward to serving your vacation needs!

Great oceanfront family house
We had a fabulous week in August here. Annette was great about giving us any info we needed ahead of time. The place is in great shape, completely renovated after a hurricane in 2018. It looks new. Lots of space for a large family. Lots of sand toys and chairs on the back porch! Well stocked kitchen with utensils, spices etc. Great new large capacity washer and dryer. Enough parking for 5 cars. Upstairs can be a bit more of a private area...with one big king room and a single trundlebed room. The bunks (2 twins) are in open area off the upstairs loft...so open to downstairs noise...but just fine for teens who will sleep late through anything. It is close to the pier and shops...also great for teens who may want to walk there. Great views and right next to an active turtle nest! This is one of the nicest places we have stayed in Topsail. We would definitely go back. Highly recommend

Sea Turtle Nesting!
We had a lovely stay at “What’s in a name?”. The house is lovely, location is a short walk to the pier and lots of space for everyone. Beautiful weather, beautiful beach, and a sea turtle nested right next to the deck one of the nights. We have a multi-family crew and each had our own space. Will definitely come again.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Benson

Host profile image
We are originally from Ohio, I grew up visiting Wrightsville Beach every summer and knew from the time I was a little girl that I would live on the beach one day. That day happened August 27, 2016. We bought our first vacation rental, SomeBeach in 2014. My husband is still traveling back and forth between Ohio and here, but we are hoping he gets down her on a permanent basis very soon.

Why they chose this property

This house fit perfectly into our business plan. We wanted to have several houses in close proximity, so it would be perfect for for large families, reunions, weddings, retreats, etc. This is our second oceanfront property, the other two properties are second row and all are very close together.

What makes this property unique

What's In A Name has some of the best views on the island. We are working hard to put our special touch on it to make it a place that you will want to visit again and again!
