About this property
Freshly Updated Beachfront home – Reserve Spring/Summer Linens included
Welcome to Catie’s Cove
Beachfront home under renovation – completion soon, with exciting new updates and fresh photos coming soon.
BIKINI AND BEACH TOWEL NEEDED! Pack your swimsuit and beach towel—we’ve got the rest covered. Well, almost… don’t forget a few clothes! (bed linens & bath towels, paper towels, bbq propane, toliet paper, trash bags, dish soap, dish washer soap, 4 beach chairs, beach umbrella, 3 boogie boards, and tons of sand toys are included)
At Catie’s Cove, you’ll find pretty much everything you need for the perfect beachside escape. Relax, recharge, and let the good times roll
Enjoy true oceanfront living with no streets between you and the sand – the beach is just off the deck. The home is only 3 blocks from the Surf City center and fishing pier, so you can park once and walk to about 15 different eateries, park, ice cream & gift shops, bars with live music, and a nearby food market within 5 minutes.
Surf City, NC, is approximately a 2-hour drive from Raleigh and just 20–30 minutes from Wilmington airport, making arrivals and departures easy.

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Rice Chua
Our family left the sunny beaches of San Diego, CA, and were pleased to find Surf City to be a family-friendly beach with walkable restaurants, shops, and water amenities close by. You can rent bikes, kayaks, surfboards, paddleboards, and just about anything else you need to have fun!
Why they chose this property
Surf City offers a wonderful, family-friendly beach that’s conveniently close to Raleigh and Wilmington Airport. Topsail Island features a beautiful beach and a kid-friendly atmosphere, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation. There are also plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance, enhancing the convenience and enjoyment of your stay.
What makes this property unique
Our beachfront home offers a unique rental experience with its prime location on Topsail Island, providing easy access to a family-friendly beach and nearby amenities. Everything you need is only steps away, with no streets to cross, giving you peace of mind and convenience—especially if you have children who need to go back and forth between the house and the beach.
Unlike other rentals with 4 or 5 bedrooms that offer 500-600 square feet less space, our home provides ample room to relax and unwind without feeling cramped. The spacious layout enhances your comfort, making your vacation truly relaxing. Additionally, we’re just three blocks from the center of Surf City, making it easy to walk to restaurants and shops, a favorite activity for our guests.
