This was the perfect little beach house for our trip. It is so close to the ocean and was so easy for us to just walk over whenever we wanted to go to the beach. The patios were really nice to sit out on too!

Great First Family Trip to the Beach

This beautiful beach house was perfect for myself and several friends. The location was incredible, with the beach being just about a 5 minute walk away and several restaurants within walking distance as well. The property had everything you could need for a day at the beach or time relaxing inside. The porch had an incredible view and was perfect for relaxing outside. This is the perfect place for a calm beach getaway.

House needs to be updated. Everything was just beat up. Sadly, i get that renters abuse property but putting a little of that rent revenue back in the property would go a long way. Not a very comfortable place to stay. Living room furniture only has a worn out sectional, needs more seating. Surprised there was not a dishwasher but not a deal breaker, should mention though. Your pic shows a basic coffee maker but you actually have a keureg, so we had to make a late nite run to a food lion for pods. We love old "rustic" properties, have rented many, this property was just run down. Needs some love

Very good location, easy walk to the beach. Photos exaggerate the size, it is quite small for a 3 bedroom. Needs updates including but not limited to ceiling fans. Not worth what we paid.

We recently stayed at this VRBO on Topsail for two nights. The hosts were great with communication, which we really appreciated, and the deck and railings appear to have been updated recently. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short of expectations.The photos of the property are somewhat misleading, as the interior shows considerable wear and tear. The home definitely fits more of a “budget stay” description. Several areas inside the house need attention—floors feel uneven and spongy in places, and the beds are not sturdy, with one headboard not even attached. The mattresses were also uncomfortable.The bathrooms in particular need maintenance. In the master bath, both the shower and sink have been painted with what appears to be refinishing paint, but it’s peeling and delaminating. The guest shower only had warm water, not hot.If you’re looking for a rustic beach-vibe stay and are comfortable with a more worn-in, budget-friendly property, this place might still work for you. However, for travelers expecting the condition shown in the listing photos or seeking a more polished, comfortable experience, this rental may be disappointing.

About the host

Hosted by Nolan Chandler

Host profile image
My wife, Holly, and I are excited to have you stay with us in Surf City and enjoy all that this beach city has to offer. We have lived in North Carolina for two years now and love what it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property has the perfect charm and character to make you feel at home. It is close to the beach and close to many fun attractions and shops located in Surf City, NC.

What makes this property unique

There is a hammock on the ground level beneath the back deck for lounging and covered in shade to make it a relaxing environment. The front deck provides a view of the intracoastal waterway, and the back deck provides a view of the beach and a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. There is nothing more calming than hearing the ocean waves break on shore.
