About this property

Oceanfront, Pool, Early Check-In, Elevator, Walk to Grocery, Dining

Furniture upgrades in progress for 2023 Season! If you have ever been to Surf City, you are familiar with this this home as it sits in a group of 4 iconic luxury ocean front buildings (which make up 8 luxury ocean front town homes). If you think the photos are good, wait till you see it in person! These large beautify pastel colorful town homes makeup the town shore line and sit on North Shore drive in the 100 block just past Daddy Mac’s. You can truly park your car when you arrive and not get in it again for your entire vacation! Walking distance (1/2 mile or less) to 15 eating establishments from snow cones and ice cream to some of the islands best restaurants! You can even walk to the marina and rent a boat, go out on a fishing charter or take a dinner cruise. Walk to the surf city park and enjoy free Friday night outdoor movies and concerts or just enjoy all that the town has to offer. When you come home you can relax by the private community pool overlooking the beach (Private to the 8 luxury town homes). The pool is just exclusive enough to retain the privacy but gives the children and young adults a chance to make friends quickly.

While this home has “location, location, location”, the real benefit is the quality of the home itself. The first thing that you will notice is the quality of the construction. The home features porcelain tile and bamboo hardwood throughout, heavy trim work and 10 ft ceilings. The quality construction also includes heavy insulation, so you will immediately be impressed by how quiet the home is (important when you are vacationing with a large group). Each of the 4 main bedrooms is a master (having its own private full bathroom attached). Three of the 4 main bedrooms feature beautiful King size beds with super comfortable mattresses and the 4th bedroom features a two custom built bunk beds: 1 twin XL over Queen and one twin over twin. These beeds have 45inches of head space between the bunks so you don't feel like you are in a bunk bed. The fifth bedroom is on the entry level and has a twin over full bunk to help accommodate the overflow when unexpected additional guests show up (because you know when you have a wonderful place at the beach ….it will happen!). Note that this room does not have a private bathroom, but your guest will find it far superior to a sofa sleeper alternative for your overflow that is offered in many other homes!!) Everyone will appreciate the elevator to move luggage, food and family between floors.

We rented for nearly 30 years before we were finally able to purchase our own rental property in Topsail. We used all that knowledge to make this home a superb rental. Here is what we learned and what we have done to make this home a perfect rental experience for you!

After location, location, location, comes BEDDING, BEDDING, BEDDING! Ever gone to a great rental only to find that after 2 or 3 nights your body ached due to poor bedding and inferior mattresses? You work too hard for your vacation to take a chance.

Next is deck furniture! Ever go to a home with little or no deck furniture? Or furniture that sits so low you are left looking through the railings like prison bars? This home features high top resin deck chairs. These chairs are not only extremely comfortable, they give you a spectacular unobstructed view of the ocean. Enjoy the stunning views from the two covered ocean front decks overlooking the ocean and swimming pool You will never want to go inside!

Parking is under the home for 3 large cars (or 4 compact cars but it is a tight fit for 4). Overflow public parking directly across the street. There is a charge for public parking March through end of October (subject to change). There is no parking in the common areas.

Responsible pet owners may bring their dogs. There is a $200 pet fee per dog, per week. Only the pets of the guest are allowed on the property. No additional pets may be on the property or the decks (i.e no "just visiting" pets). If undeclared pets are seen on the property, Guest are subject to immediate eviction without refund and a $500 fine per animal in the home or on the property.

The perfect place to say on the NC coast
There is no better location than this in Surf City or anywhere near. Directly on the beach, near the pier, right by the coffee shops and ice cream stores and restaurants and shops. Plenty of beds, five bedrooms, open living/dining room on the top floor, elevator to make it easy to get your bags and stuff upstairs. Plenty of parking under the house. Perfect for large gatherings or just a quiet get-away to watch the waves.

Great stay
We all enjoyed the house and proximity to the beach. Caution to others that the kitchen area is really tight. Preparing for a big meal is challenging. Just a normal non-thanksgiving type meal is fine. I also suggest adding grab bars in the showers for those who have family members who need a bit more security. I also suggest not listing this as 5 bedrooms. I realize there is a disclaimer in the description but its not proximate to a bathroom do not really usable.

2nd Stay
I don’t typically give 5 star reviews nor do I trust them, but there isn’t anything I can say negative about this place or The Waltz family. The beds sleep good, the showers have amazing pressure, and the place was clean and just like it was listed. It’s nice to stay in place that is as nice as my house. You cannot beat the location. We stayed for the week and only had to use our car twice to grab some groceries. The beach was never crowded and at night everything gets even quieter. I used to go to the Myrtle Beach area and now there is no way I could ever go back to that crowded of a beach.

October beach getaway
We enjoyed our stay very much! The location was perfect - everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. The elevator was perfect for our senior dog. Happy to say the house was one of the cleanest we have ever rented at Topsail. The kitchen was very well appointed and the luxury bedding did not disappoint! Would definitely rent this property again and would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Ted Waltz

Host profile image
We are originally from Kennett Square PA which is near Philadelphia. Deb grew up in Williamsville NY which is a small town near Buffalo NY and moved to Kennett Square after going to college in the Philadelphia area. That is where Ted and Deb first met, fell in love, and got married back in the early 1980’s. Ted first discovered Topsail Island when he was serving our country in the 82 Airborne division of the military after high school. Ted grew up and lived most of his life in Kennett Square prior to moving to North Carolina. Ted’s parents both worked in the school system in Kennett Square (his father as a teacher and his mother as the school nurse). Ted was a Mushroom Farmer while he lived in PA (that region is known for being one of the largest producers of fresh Mushrooms in the world). We both still have family in Kennett Square and in Buffalo, but they enjoy coming to visit us in North Carolina (especially in the winter!).
Our three children are grown and married now. One is a Veterinarian, one is a middle school teacher and the third is a mechanical engineer. We currently live on a small farm outside of Raleigh. Our three children have grown up enjoying the beaches here on Topsail Island and looked for sharks teeth in the sands of Surf City. We used to travel here from the Philadelphia area because the Topsail Island beaches are so clean and private. We've always felt it was worth the trip and met many who traveled much further than us and shared that view.

Why they chose this property

Topsail is a wonderful family place but it is also a place where fishermen and surfers can share the beach and enjoy the long season of warm crystal clear water. In the fall we would stay out all night and wait on the beach with our children for the turtle nests to hatch. We purchased this home in November of 2017. We had been renting in Surf City, Topsail Island for nearly 30 years and while the homes we rented were nice, they always fell a little short in one area or another. We wanted to create a rental that did it right and the opportunity was right for us to purchase this outstanding, recently built, ocean front home in the heart of Surf City, Topsail Island, North Carolina.

Elevator, Location, Premium Bedding, great deck furniture, Pay-it-forward pantry items and towels, private Community Pool all make it easy to relax and meet new friends. Walk to Surf city restaurants, grocery store and attractions.

For even larger parties or family reunions, we have other rental options that we can refer you to (that are 2 to 9 bedroom beach and Intercoastal water front options also in Surf City including in this same grouping of homes as this one). This is great for groups needing additional overflow space or wanting to vacation together but separate.

The Marina is walking distance from the home Don’t have a boat? Boats can be rented from local Marina or bring your own boat and rent a slip for your stay.

What makes this property unique

We love that we can walk to the beach front restaurants and the fishing pier. We also love that we have a great view of the ocean and or sound from every window in the home. The views from deck, while either standing or sitting in the hi-top chairs, is breathtaking and unmatched. We don’t even need to drive into town to see holiday fireworks; best view on the island is from our deck! Nothing beats watching your kids play either playing at the beach, surfing, paddle boarding or swimming in your own private pool while you enjoy a cool beverage from the comfort of your deck or the shade of the covered porch (especially if you love the ocean but are not a fan of the sand). You will love the fact that time has not blemished Topsail and it has maintained its small-town charm and feel. It is a warm and inviting place and you will not want to leave!

What you should know about Topsail and Surf City.......

Topsail is a great place for families and fun. It is a place for quite relaxation, fishing, golfing, shopping sightseeing, or just relaxing and reading on the beach. Enjoy quiet relaxation of the ocean breeze from your kitchen or decks while you drink your morning coffee or share a meal with the family. See the dolphins playing in the surf and end the day with a moonlight walk on the beach. Fish off the beaches right in front of your home or walk up to the Surf City Pier to see what's biting. You can literally walk for miles on clean white beaches looking for prehistoric sharks teeth (Topsail is one of the few area on the east coast where they are easily found) or gather shells or 'sea beans' (small polished pebbles) for you collection. Visit the famous Sea Turtle Hospital here on the Island or stop at one of our local shops and pick up some fresh homemade fudge, pies or seafood. Take a dinner cruise on the sound or make memories with your family and friends that will last a lifetime!
