We had a wonderful time staying in this home. Perfect location, great space to relax and enjoy our family, whether we were in the house, on the balcony or on the beach. Everything was so convenient and the hosts were amazing. Great communication and they wanted everything to be perfect for us. It was our first time to visit this beach and it did not disappoint. We will definitely come back.

Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad the location worked for your family and that the balcony and beach time delivered on your first Surf City trip. We'd love to host you again.
What a great place for the family to gather. There’s enough room for everyone to spend time together or do their own thing. John and Christine are outstanding host and very responsive to any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! So happy you loved the beach view and had everything you needed for your days on the sand. It's a pretty special spot right there on the shore. We'd love to welcome you back to Surf City anytime!
We were thrilled with the layout of the floor plan. The children LOVED the bunk room and the foosball table. We all enjoyed the large dining room and comfortable den with the ocean view. Our only recommendation would be that the bathrooms were not very clean and that was disappointing and had to be attended to before used.

We liked the location of this house being close to other things we like to do when we’re not sitting on the beach. The view from the upper deck is spectacular. And the host is easy to communicate with.

Thank you for the kind words about the location and that upper deck view, and thank you for the three notes you sent afterwards. The bedroom air conditioning was low on refrigerant, and our technician was out for it the same day you told us. The faucet handle and the area around the outdoor shower are with our handyman and our manager. We would be glad to host your family again.
Perfect for our two families to have a beautiful trip together. The house has a great layout and an amazing view with the beach outside about every window. We loved sitting outside on the back deck and walking steps to be on the beach. Beach toys, beach chairs and plenty of beach towels were a nice touch. We had everything we needed. The owners were extremely helpful and always responded promptly.

This beach house worked out perfect for our family get together! It was exactly how the pictures showed it. The view was amazing and everyone enjoyed sitting on the top deck to watch the ocean. Having the linens and bath towels & beach towels provided was a big help. It had a fully stocked kitchen and a big bonus for us was having a second refrigerator. It had plenty of beach chairs and beach toys too. The hosts responded very quickly to any questions and were very helpful. We all enjoyed our Topsail vacation!

We found this amazing house to be in the perfect location south of the pier. The beach was not crowded around us which made for easy beach days. The house is better in person and was filled with anything you would need to enjoy your stay! I will highly recommend this house to any friends visiting the area. Thank you to the hosts for sharing your amazing home with us.

My family stayed here for Mother's day weekend. The house was clean and ready when we arrived. The location is perfect if you like to see the sunrise from the front deck. Private beach access was a huge plus. Only minutes from the restaurants and attractions. Would definitely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Christine
Acquiring a beach house fulfills one of our cherished American dreams. My wife and I have nurtured this aspiration through years of diligent effort, and it has finally become a reality. We take delight in opening our dream home to guests, including fellow pursuers of the American Dream who exemplify hard work and determination.
Just as you strive tirelessly and deserve the rewards, you merit quality family moments on the beach!
Why they chose this property
I've visited numerous beaches in the US, and Surf City is the one we like the most. I feel a sense of tranquility here—it's not overly crowded, and it lacks the commercial atmosphere with numerous towering buildings that other beaches have. The people here are also incredibly friendly.
What makes this property unique
We work hard for our American dream; the ocean-view house fulfills that dream, and we want to share that spirit with you in our beach home. Everyone deserves an American dream beach vacation during which you can spend quality time with your family and friends.
Our location is less than 5 minutes away from the island's central area, where the restaurants are situated. You're far enough from the bustling city while still being conveniently close to various restaurants and ice cream shops.
