About this property

**THE Perfect Beach Home Away From Home**Linens Included**

Do not make a reservation without inquiring with the owner first.

Escape to your beautifully maintained Beach Home Away From Home one block off the beach for a much needed relaxing and joyful vacation for your friends and family in the Live Oaks Community on Topsail Island. Located one mile south from the heart of Surf City and the historic Swing Bridge. This 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home is perfectly situated on the end of the neighborhood for you to enjoy the beautiful and unobstructed views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Whether you're looking to get away for a couples retreat or a family vacation, this rental property is suited for your needs.

The Beach House has plenty of room to enjoy the outdoor island life with 2 covered porches and 2 sun decks. The front porch has a comfortable sectional along with 4 captains chairs and round table to enjoy a cup of coffee, glass of wine or nice meal with your family, while soaking up the beautiful views. The back porch is equipped with 4 captains chairs and a perfect spot to soak up some sun.

The top floor of the home is an open concept and great place for your family and friends to come together and spend quality time. The living room is equipped with a 70" flat screen TV with a Blu-ray DVD player and Apple TV with Netflix and Hulu and large selection of DVDs to choose from. There is also a Bose Wave IV Radio/CD/Bluetooth system for your musical enjoyment. You will surely enjoy this space overlooking the ocean.

The bottom floor of the home has 3 bedrooms with adjoining porches. The Anchors Aweigh Bedroom has a Twin over Twin Bunk Bed and a Single Twin Bed along with a 32" flat screen TV with Cable and DVD player. The Sail Away bedroom has a Twin over Full Bunk Bed along with a 32" TV with Cable and DVD player. The Sea Shells Master bedroom is the most relaxing with a King Bed and 42" TV with Cable and DVD player. The MBR also has its own Full Bathroom with double vanity and Shower/Tub combination. There is also a second Full Bathroom on the bottom floor with a Shower/Tub combination and attached Washer/Dryer combination unit room.

The 4th bedroom is located on the top floor with a Queen Bed along with a 32" wall-mounted Roku Smart TV with Cable.

Bedding linens and bathing towels will be provided for each Bedroom/Bathroom for ease throughout your stay.

I fully understand it is sometimes difficult for people to fully break apart from work when vacationing and need further amenities to ensure piece of mind to truly enjoy time together with your family. The top floor also provides a small work desk and Apple iMac in case work needs to be attended to.

Other amenities include Central AC/Heat, WiFi, Telephone and access to the professionally maintained community pool. There is also a 130 can beverage cooler located in the pantry for extra space away from the refrigerator when you want to enjoy a nice refreshing frosty!

Beach chairs and umbrella are located in the outdoor closet below the house along with corn hole and washers for your enjoyment. The ground floor also has a picnic table and BBQ grill.

When it is time to go to the beach there are two locations to choose from just a short walk north or south of the property. When coming off the beach there is a refreshing hot/cold private outdoor shower to rinse off.

I truly hope you enjoy your much deserved vacation at this Beach Home Away From Home.

This house has everything that you could possibly need. We just finished our stay and would definitely stay again. Everything was clean, stocked, and comfortable. Brian went above and beyond for us. He is an amazing human being. The only thing you need to pack is your clothes. The kitchen is even stocked with spices! The beach is a quick walk and there is a wagon to put all of your things in. There are two Shibumi shades which are really incredible; we had never used them before but they are really easy to put up and take down. If you are looking for an amazing place to stay, this is it!

The name of the house says it all!

Brian was so great to work with and very responsive to all questions we had - both before and during our stay. The home had everything we could possibly need for a week at the beach which made the packing process so much easier! The location is gorgeous with the bay behind the property and the beach in front. Our girls (teens) could have independence because the beach, pool and bay were all so close. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Brian, for a great week!

Great beach home and location!

We had a great stay at Topsail and Brian was an amazing host! The home was very clean and well-stocked with all amenities you can think of! Very comfortable beds and nice living space inside and on the outside decks! A very short walk to beach and community pool is not crowded! We’ve stayed at numerous beach rentals and this one was the best by far! One clue was me not contacting the owner or real estate company by Day 2 to request maintenance! ….Highly recommend!!!

Incredible Stay at "THE Perfect Home Away From Home"

Property is as advertised. Loaded with all the essentials for a week at the beach. Just as it says in the description, we could have literally packed nothing but our clothes. Easily accomodated our party of 10. House was super clean and was in a great location to enjoy the beautiful Surf City Beach on Topsail Island. Had the privilege of meeting the owner who lives nearby. Super nice guy and very accomodating. I've stayed in a lot of rental properties at a lot of beaches over the years and this was by far my favorite.

Annual Beach Vacation

Our family would definitely give this more than 5 stars if we could. The best rental experience we have ever had. After allowing us time to get in and settled, Brian was sure to check on us to confirm we had everything we needed. And let me tell you, there was not a single thing we needed. Linens, towels, toilet paper, hand soaps, dish soap, laundry soap, phone chargers & sound machines in EVERY.SINGLE.BEDROOM. All the kitchen appliances and dishes/cookware you could possibly need. Coolers, beach chairs, wagon & shibumis. The house is exactly how the pictures show. Comfy beds and pillows. The living room area was a very gracious size for our 2 families of 9. We never felt crowded. Sad to leave, but we will be back for sure. Thank you for hosting us!!

Everything You Need!

Upon arrival the house was in wonderful condition and very clean! Brian reached out before check in time to let us know the house was ready early. There were plenty of beach supplies at the house including chairs, towels, some toys, a shibumi shade and a cart as well as an abundance of different sized coolers. Brian checked in multiple times during the week to make sure all was well. I would definitely book this house again for a future trip.

Spectacular summer vacation spot

This was our family's first experience at surf city. To say home away from home was an understatement. Lovely home, decorated beautifully, everything you need was in place. You were in need of nothing. It looks just as it was on the website. The walk to the beach was very doable. Brian was available during our stay and checked with us throughout the week to see if we were enjoying our stay. Our family was so taken with our vacation experience we contacted Brian before we left to book our 2025 stay. Already looking forward to next summer. A must stay place.

Summer Vacation

This is the second year that we stayed at the property. The house is as advertised. It is the perfect beach home away from home. Nine of us stayed this year. 10 of us stayed last year. The house is very clean, super comfortable, and easily accommodated our party. It has everything you need for your beach trip. Last year, to be on the safe side, we packed all our beach gear even though the description said all you needed to bring was your clothes. This year, that's literally what we did. Owners a great guy and super attentive. Last year, I screwed up the rating with less than five stars in one of the categories. I tried to get VRBO to take it down but they never would. It definitely deserves five stars in all the categories. Highly recommend the property.

Amazing home and location!! 5 Stars⭐️

Brian has thought of everything! You could literally show up with your suitcase and nothing else. He has a beach cart, coolers, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, even beach towels! We loved the views of both the ocean and the marsh. The pool was great for cooling off. The walk to the beach was maybe 3 minutes and easy to access. The only downside was crossing the busy street. Brian is a great host. We would definitely rent this house again if we return.

Beautiful Property for a Fun Getaway

This was the nicest property we have ever rented - everything you could possibly need had been thought of, with high quality, beautiful decor. Beds and seating were very comfortable and it was perfect for a couple of families with kids or a group of adults. Spacious and light, and close proximity to beach access. There is also a pool on the property that looked very nice for renters in warmer months, and access to a pier overlooking the beautiful sound. The condo is right off the main north/south road on Topsail Island so there is some traffic noise and you need to cross the road to get to the beach. We didn't notice the traffic while sleeping but there were white noise machines provided for light sleepers. Brian, our host, was very responsive and helpful. We had one question about the washer/dryer, and he quickly solved it for us. Would definitely recommend this beautiful property, and we hope to come back again!

Everything you need in the vacation rental x10!

This is honestly the nicest rental that I’ve ever stayed in in topsail or really anywhere for that matter! All the furnishings are high end, plenty of towels in the house, towels for the beach and also towels by the outdoor shower. The beds are so comfortable and the linens are very nice quality. I was shocked to find there was already hand soap, bath soap, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap dish washing detergent and a corner cabinet filled with numerous spices etc. I was also amazed to open the freezer and find ice cold glasses for my beer and whiskey stones! There truly is something for every need. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. There are extra coolers for your use, travel mugs for the beach, some umbrellas, beach chairs, and beach toys. Brian is a dream to work with ! The house is spacious and we had a wonderful time. The only thing for me was that everybody’s idea of a short walk is different. My mom just had knee replacement surgery so I was hoping we just had to cross the street. However it was about a block down. Really not a big deal except for my mom especially because the house is absolutely the best on the island!

Great space for a small family with kids.

There were 4 adults and 4 kids under the age of 10. The rooms were perfect for kids with bunkbeds and TVs. The common spaces were beach-y and well stocked. The proximity to the beach was definitely manageable. And the community pool was a nice addition with the kids. The house had everything (and more) that we needed to ensure we felt welcome and settled for the week. The property owner was attentive and quick to respond. Overall, we enjoyed our time in Topsail.

Fabulous Property in a Great Location

We had a wonderful family vacation at this property in June 2022. I can’t say enough about the property and how easy the three minute walk to the beach was (leaving the neighborhood, cross the street and go to the left past the three houses to find the path, cross the 2nd street and go to the left past three more house to find the beach access ramp… super easy). The house had every convenience you will need for your stay, from beach chairs, to kitchenware and appliances to TVs in every room. Brian, the property owner, was great both before the stay and when we had questions during our stay. He’s local and happy to help with anything that comes up. Don’t hesitate on this listing… it’s exactly what you’re looking for. We’ve stayed at many rentals and this one was top notch!

Relaxing beyond belief

We’ve been coming to the island for 16 years. We have never stayed in the exact same condo/house. This was by far the best decorated home. It felt like home. The furniture, bedding, pillows were all very comfortable. There was plenty of space for all of us, including 6 teenagers. They loved being able to walk to the pier and hanging out. Although I’m use to being ocean front, the walk was very manageable, even with all our gear. It was so nice to have many beach accessories available for our use too. The homeowners truly thought of everything you might want at the beach. The only downside was the mosquitoes. We weren’t able to use the pool because they were so bad. However, I think a truck may have come and sprayed for them because we didn’t notice them as much towards the end of the week. I would love to come back to this property again.
