About this property

Ocean-View Retreat, Sleep 8, 6-Minute Walk to Restaurants, Pet friendly

Picture rinsing off the sand in the outdoor shower, the ocean view from the deck, and an easy stroll to the pier and ice cream at sunset. We're John and Kaley, and this is our cozy one. It's small and we love it for that, an immaculately clean 3-bedroom with beach access just across the street. I built both outdoor showers myself, so it feels calm and cared for the second you walk in. Beach gear, kid toys, even a surfboard, and an EV charger if you need it. Here's what's waiting for you:

Welcome to our stunning, immaculately clean, and cozy three-bedroom house with a great ocean view! Located on the island with beach access just across the street.

⏹About Our Location:

⊚ Location: Just a few short steps from the beach, we are within a 6 to 10-minute walk to restaurants, shopping, a pier, yoga, ice cream, smoothies, surf shops, and so much more. Leave your car at home and stroll down the beach to some fantastic restaurants. Ask me about eateries where you can bring your dog! Escape the worries of everyday life and immerse yourself in the wonders of island time.

⊚ Parking: We have thought of every detail to make your stay carefree from the moment you arrive. We offer covered parking for one vehicle and additional parking in the driveway for up to eight cars in total. You won’t have to pay for public parking, which costs between $3.00/hr and $5.00/hr.

⊚ View & Beach access: Step out onto any of our decks and enjoy views of the ocean. While not directly on the oceanfront, this beach house boasts a fantastic view from its second-row location. You can also stroll out onto the beach from the public beach access across the street! Enjoy coffee on the hammock and take in the sunrise while watching dolphins play in the surf.

⊚ Deck: Our decks have been recently replaced, providing you with the security and comfort you need. They’re all private, and no one from the beach can wander up to these levels.

⊚ Kitchen: We provide a fully stocked kitchen, we are also pleased to encourage a “pay-it-forward” kitchen policy. We encourage our guests to leave behind fresh food items, both in the refrigerator and the pantry. We find they enjoy a lot of “bonus” food items when everyone participates. Our guests will love it, and it works very well. You will love our kitchen! It has almost everything you need, a regular coffee maker as well as a Keurig, pots, pans, dishes, and utensils to entertain your loved ones. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach while you’re eating!

⊚ Bedrooms: The master suite is on the main living area on the first floor and offers a king bed, reducing the number of trips down the stairs. The second floor has two bedrooms. The Queen bedroom has a private deck and ocean view, providing you with a private space to rest and relax. The Queen over Queen Bunk Bed room, which boasts a large queen bunk, is thoroughly enjoyed by both the young and the young at heart. It also provides a great experience for a family that wants to try a family sleep time together.

⊚ Linens: Everything you need to enjoy your stay is provided, including towels, linens, and a great location. So, there are obviously no extra fees for sheets and towels.

⊚ Living area: provides stunning views of nature at its finest! There’s plenty of seating for lounging, eating, or enjoying the ocean breeze from the deck.

⊚ TVs: We have a smart TV in the main living area and all bedrooms, and strong Wi-Fi throughout the home. There’s never a reason to miss your favorite show if you can tear yourself away from the beauty of the beach.

⊚ Entertainment: If you need a break from Mother Nature, we have a fully stocked activity closet with games, books, and puzzles. Or you can take a quick walk into town and enjoy the finest dining, shopping, and nightlife on the island without driving.

⊚ Beach gear & Kid toys: The lowest level has storage with beach gear (boogie boards, beach chairs, an umbrella, and a surfboard) for your use on the beach and toys for your kids. This is the perfect balance of convenience and security, and our guests love it!

⊚ Grill: A charcoal grill is provided (you’ll need to purchase your own fresh charcoal from any convenience store), and all three decks are fully furnished. Speaking of decks, it’s an amazing experience with the hammock. If you want another one for your next visit, feel free to let us know.

⊚ Showers: This is our favorite improvement of the house as you can choose between the enclosed one for privacy or the open-air option for a refreshing al fresco experience. Both showers have cold water only (no hot water)

⊚ Pets: We’re dog-friendly (up to 2 well-trained dogs, 20 lb or less each), but can’t allow other pets like cats due to allergies. We’ve made some renovations to make our home pet friendly. We are delighted to welcome your dog! Just make a booking and be prepared to tell us about your furry family member. For the comfort and enjoyment of all our guests, we do not allow dogs on beds or sofas at any time. Pet hair is difficult to remove from linens and upholstery, and we want everyone to be able to enjoy their stay.

⊚ For your convenience: We believe you should be able to enjoy your stay from the second you walk in the door, so we provide what you need to get started on a relaxing note. Our home is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap, as well as rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom to get you started. Dishwashing detergent, trash bags, and even laundry detergent for our washer and dryer, in case you need to run a quick load of laundry, are also available for your convenience.

⊚ We want you a great experience: The best thing about our home is that your experience is the most important thing to us. We will do everything we can to ensure you have the best vacation possible! During your stay, if you have any questions at all, you can call our amazing on-site manager for help (she lives on the island as well). We can’t wait to see you!

⏹Guest access
⊚ Our guests have access to the entire home and are encouraged to use and enjoy everything in the home.

⊚ The storage room has two sections:
• Right Side: Beach gear for guests
• Left Side: Owner’s belongings, which we don’t think you’ll need

⏹Other details to note
⊚ We strongly recommend purchasing private travel insurance that provides “trip interruption” protections, as well as coverage for natural disaster evacuations. Refunds for hurricanes will not be provided by the owner.

⊚ Pets: We are very pet-friendly! We allow up to two well-trained dogs (20 lb or less each) during your stay for an additional fee of $100 per pet. We do not allow animals on the beds at any time, for the cleanliness and comfort of our future guests.

⊚ We've received countless valuable feedback and learned from each one, continuously improving to make your vacation unforgettable
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Loved our stay in Purple Haze! It had everything we needed for a cozy stay, fun game nights, & provided plenty of space to relax inside or on either balcony! The beach was just steps away from the house and food wise - a short walk to so many terrific options (Shaka Taco, Sunrise Bagels, and Daybreak Donuts to name a few). Appreciated the easy check in / out and clear / friendly communication from the owners! Loved being able to bring our dog too! All around wonderful stay!

This property is conveniently located right across from the beach access which makes it easy to enjoy your beach vacation. The house is in need of a few updates but overall was great for our family. The kitchen cooking supplies are a little lacking if you are one to cook for your family on vacation. The host did a standout job replacing the dryer within a day. I was extremely impressed by their ability to fix that problem. We would stay there again.

Thank you for such a fair review, and for the kind words about how fast we got the new dryer to you. A laundry machine going down mid-trip with a family in the house is exactly when speed matters. You are right that some pieces are ready for a refresh, and the kitchen and the linens are on that list because you named them. It means a lot that you would come back.

Kaley and John were everything we could have hoped for as hosts and same for their house Purple Haze. It was awesome already having boogie boards and beach chairs, and a bunch of additional items that we did not have to load up and bring from home. They were also extremely communicative making everything seemless. The only issue we had was with an upstairs thermostat not keeping the setpoint and I messaged John at 10:30 PM and he responded right away and fixed it remotely. The house was perfect for a family of four and could even be fine for an additional family. Great location as well.

Owners had outstanding communication and were willing to help with anything we needed. It was directly across from the beach and had a nice view of the water on the upper deck. Perfect spot to have your morning coffee or sun bathe. This is a cute spot and is walking distance to all the shops. My only concern was some things needed attention. The furniture needed a deep cleaning (there were stains), the oven, freezer and bath tubs as well. The kids boogie boards were broke and the owners dropped new ones off for the kids which was nice. We found some really long hairs in the bedding in the master bedroom which we washed. We did make Jon and Kaley aware for future guests and they appreciated the feedback and said they would address these issues. Overall, a good experience.

Thank you for a review this detailed and this even handed, and for raising it with us during the week rather than leaving it for the next family. The cleaning points are the ones that sting, because that is the part a guest should never have to think about, and they have gone to our team as a list. Glad the new boogie boards made it to the kids in time. Thank you for leaving the house the way you found it, and we would be happy to have you back.

About the host

Hosted by Kaley Tran

Host profile image
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

Why they chose this property

We’ve been traveling to many beaches in the country, and Surf City is not only our favorite but also our home beach. It’s where we decided to buy a house. Here are the reasons:

⊚ 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.

What makes this property unique

⊚ Ocean Views: While not directly on the oceanfront, this beach house boasts a fantastic view from its second-row location

⊚ Beach Access: Just a quick stroll across the street, and you’ll find yourself sinking your toes into the warm sand. Public beach access makes it easy to enjoy sunsets, picnics, and beachcombing.

⊚ Refreshing Showers: Rinse off the salt and sand in our outdoor showers—choose between the enclosed one for privacy or the open-air option for a refreshing al fresco experience.

⊚ Great location: Within a 6-minute walk, discover a culinary paradise. From seafood joints to ice cream parlors, you’ll find flavors to satisfy every craving.

⊚ Beach Extras Included!: We’ve got you covered with surfboards, kid’s toys, and comfy beach chairs. Pack light and enjoy the sun and surf!

⊚ Ample Parking: Bring your whole crew! Our spacious driveway accommodates up to 8 cars, so no need to worry about parking.

⊚ Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements: Rest easy in our well-appointed bedrooms. We have a king bed, a queen bed, and a queen-over-queen bunk bed. Perfect for families, couples, or friends traveling together.
