About the host
Hosted by Kaley Tran
I'm Kaley! As a mom of two, I've always loved exploring new places with my family and friends. Short-term rentals have been a wonderful way to experience different locations and feel at home while traveling. That's why owning a beach house has become my American dream! It would be amazing to share this special space with fellow travelers, offering them a comfortable and memorable stay, while generating some income in the process.
We've poured our hearts and souls into making this house a welcoming haven. From carefully chosen decor to thoughtful amenities, we hope every guest feels relaxed and inspired during their stay

⊚ Family-friendly atmosphere: Surf City is known for its laid-back, intimate vibe, making it a great place for families. Local shops and restaurants cater to this family-oriented culture.
⊚ Friendly community: The people in Surf City are known for their friendly and welcoming nature, contributing to a sense of community that enhances the charm of the town.
⊚ Uncrowded beaches: Thanks to Topsail Island’s narrow profile, the beaches in Surf City are less crowded than other parts of the Outer Banks, providing ample space for relaxation.
⊚ Variety of activities: Despite its peaceful ambiance, Surf City offers a range of activities from water sports to hiking, as well as several historical sites.
⊚ Convenient location: Located on Topsail Island, Surf City is a short drive from Wilmington, North Carolina, offering the tranquility of the beach with access to urban amenities.
In conclusion, Surf City’s balanced beach vacation experience makes it an ideal choice for families, and it’s no wonder we decided to make it our home beach.
