Dolly's Dream 2nd Row Retreat w Ocean Views Screened Porch & Pet-Friendly living on Topsail
Dolly's Dream – Wake up to ocean views and soothing sounds of the waves just steps from your door.
Welcome to Dolly's Dream, a laid-back oceanside retreat situated on N Topsail Drive in the heart of Surf City! Sitting only one row from the beach, the ocean views from the porch and back deck make you feel connected to the coast every moment of your stay. Guests will enjoy a comfortable stay with fresh linens and beds already made upon arrival. Unwind in the spacious living room or sip your coffee on one of the expansive back decks and watch the waves crash. The fully stocked kitchen is perfect for hosting family and friends after a day on the beach.
This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath beach house offers the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and classic coastal living, ideal for families, friend groups, and your four-legged companions. Each bedroom is equipped with it's own TV and the large bathroom offers a double vanity and storage for added comfort.
Outside guests can rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day in the sand. Escape the sun in the covered screened in porch or catch rays on the uncovered deck! The options are endless!
