About the host
Hosted by Ken and Beth Warren
Hello! We are Ken & Beth and have been dreaming about this home since the day we met. We have vacationed many times in Topsail Island and have finally made our dreams come true. We have 3 children, a few dogs, a couple of cats, and we both work really hard to make everything flow smoothly.
Why they chose this property
The Nauti Surf Shack is a fun and bright place to enjoy home away from home, with many fun things to do within walking distance. We wanted to offer our little oasis to the world so you can enjoy it as much as we do. We love this home and hope you will, too!
