They WILL be reported by the HOA and you will have to leave. NO PARTIES (The Sheriff will be called). The home has a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie board, and beach kid's toys are provided. The home is right on the intracoastal waterway (sound) so you can kayak, standup paddle board (SUP), and fish or crab right out the back door and enjoy beautiful sound views and stunning sunsets from the home and two decks.

The home is 1/2 mile from the heart of Surf City shops, pier, and restaurants - so you can walk, bike, or kayak to town! No need to get in your car after you arrive! Only 2-4 night minimum - depending on season, not a week like many beach homes - and you can check in on any day of the week that's available!

Outdoor shower may not be available from October to March due to winterization. Boat ramp and marina nearby for fishermen, cruising the ICW, jetskiers, and skiers.

We had a great time during our stay. We enjoyed walks into the center of Surf City and sitting out on the back porch, looking out at the intracoastal waterway. Beach access was convenient as well. Thanks for a great time.
The hosts were fast, easy and wonderful to communicate with. The sunset on the inner coastal was gorgeous and the kayak and paddleboard were such an added perk!
Great house. Easy smooth entry. Very comfortable. Well stocked. Great view of marsh. Short walk to beach. Excellent communication by owner. Very pleased with our stay.
The property was excellent… particularly noteworthy was the kitchen, which was very well appointed with a terrific set of pots pans and utensils and very much appreciated as we spent a lot of time cooking family style meals,We further appreciated all the beach chairs made available and kayaks and bikes and sporting equipment in general. It was really great to have that available and we did take advantage of.The hosts were very responsive and thoughtful, which was also appreciated.
Easy access to the beach. Very clean. Kitchen was well equipped. Nice to have beach chairs and toys. Only 1 of 3 fishing poles worked, but we didn’t really plan that as part of our trip.

Paul, so glad you enjoyed your stay and vacation. Come back soon! Mark
We loved our stay here. The views of the salt marshes are incredible, it’s quiet, near the beach, and comes with fun amenities like kayaks and bikes. It’s also walking or biking distance to town. Overall a great place.
Owners are great to deal with and quick to respond. Beautiful and relaxing views of the sound and it was nice to walk to the beach- best of both worlds! Home was very clean and well stocked. Looking forward to returning!
We had a blast staying at this home in Surf City. Great location with gorgeous sunset views off the deck every night. The walk to the beach only took a few minutes and everything you could possibly need was there for you. Everything was wonderful, our family would definitely stay here again!
The property was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks, and sups. The location is perfect for viewing the sunset!

Wonderful Getaway!
Came down for a weekend, the only issue was that we weren't here long enough. We loved exploring the beach and kayaking around the sound! All in all a very relaxing time!
We enjoyed our stay in Surf City at this location. The place was very clean and we were able to walk to the beach and various dining locations! The views of the sound were gorgeous for a morning cup of coffee. We will definitely want to stay here again with an awesome crew of friends or family! Thank you!
We loved our stay. Owner was very responsive in reservation process. House was everything we wanted- clean with all the amenities. The owners go out of their way to make the stay comfortable and it is evident the care and thought they have taken to make sure our stay went well. My favorite part was the back deck overlooking the intercostal.
Definitely will look to stay here again!
Easy check-in, found everything needed to prepare meals, well stocked with paper goods and soaps for bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry. Home super clean and comfy beds. A nice treat to have linens provided! Easy walk to the beach, and close to shops and restaurants. Appreciate the available beach gear, bikes and water sport gear.The deck offers amazing views, especially at sunset.Owner very quick to respond to messages.
We have stayed at So Much Fun last year and enjoyed location, lay out, and cleanliness. We have returned this year to find our little slice of heaven again. We really didn’t want to leave- we saw a turtle nest hatch- a bucket list item!!! SO AMAZING!!! We cannot wait to come back next year.
So Much Fun was spacious, very clean, and extremely well stocked. The home had everything we needed! The decor was beach themed and very tasteful. We loved meandering through the beautiful tidal creek on the kayaks provided by the owner. The beach was a short 5 minute walk. Restaurants and shops are in walking distance. We enjoyed quiet mornings and breathtaking sunsets on the back porch. A great place to stay if you visiting Topsail Island!
We had a wonderful time at surf city and haven’t stopped talking about it yet!! We are already planning on repeating it for next summer. Our place was just perfect, clean and just so great. Turtles, shark teeth, and the beach-
So wonderful!
So Much Fun is our favorite place to stay on Topsail, by far. The condo is spacious, comfortable and spotless. We spent the morning paddle boarding and kayaking right off the dock behind the house, and in the afternoon took an easy five minute walk to the beach. Mark is a great host. He responds right away to any questions and makes the reservation, check in and check out process super easy. We hope to visit again next year.
We had such a great winter weekend! It was rainy and windy one day but the house was warm and cozy. It was very clean and fresh feeling. We braved the weather and went out in the canoe and had a great time.We love the ocean and the Intercoastal, this property has both. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

About the host
Hosted by mark hubbard
One day my wife Kim came home from a trip to Florida and said "Mark, I think I want a beach home." So, being the smart man I am, we cashed in part of our retirement account and bought a beach home! Kim loves the beach and I love kayaking on the sound (Intracoastal Waterway) so we bought this beautiful home with a 5 minute walk to the beach and about 40 feet out our back door to kayaking in the sound. Our first day we kayaked 15 minutes to Hardees for a milkshake. And yes, you can also kayak a few minutes more to a nice seafood restaurant (Sears Landing). And of course you can enjoy the beaches of Topsail Island. Come check out "So Much Fun!" Also check out our other vrbo mountain house vacation rental in Linville Land Harbor NC at vrbo 795627. thanks, Mark
Why they chose this property
Check out the pictures! TripAdvisor ranked Surf City on Topsail Island number 5 out of the top 20 affordable beach destinations across the US. USA Today ranked Topsail one of top 10 uncrowded beaches! Topsail is a wonderful family beach with quaint towns, shops, and restaurants - and great outdoor activities including swimming, biking, kayaking, surfing, SUP paddle boarding, fishing, crabbing, jet skiing, mini golf, roller skating, walks/jogs on the beach, birding, etc. 10 minute walk/bike ride/kayak! to town, no need for car after you arrive! The beaches are beautiful near the home - but also explore the beaches at the south and north end of Topsail Island (take a stroll). There's a well regarded Sea Turtle Rescue Hospital you can tour. In other words, lots to do!
What makes this property unique
Beauty, history, and fun! Right on the intracoastal waterway! Great views and sunsets! Community dock on sound. 5 minute walk to beach. Bike or kayak to town. Great view of the "old swing bridge" from the home. Can get by without driving your car if you like.
