Luxury Waterfront Retreat with Stunning Views & Golf Cart

This gorgeous, luxury waterfront townhome has been professionally furnished and decorated. It overlooks the sound providing breathtaking views of the ICWW and the beautiful Topsail Island sunsets! Located in the heart of Surf City, walking distance to convenient beach access, shops, restaurants and the Surf City Pier, it's a great place for a family or group of friends to enjoy a beach vacation. Each bedroom has its own bath with one tub/shower for the kids and two custom tiled walk in showers. The kitchen includes granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances with everything you need to entertain your friends and family. There is crown molding in every room and the living room and master bedroom were designed to have stunning wall-to-wall sliding glass doors to enhance those views of the ICWW. Come home from the beach to a private outdoor shower and enjoy the views of the sunset from your two decks! You will truly appreciate the attention to detail and quality throughout this home.

This vacation home has been designed with a luxury yet beachy feel that is sure to give you peaceful, renewed energy. This space boasts high ceilings and feels bright and airy throughout. The property includes customized wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that open from both sides to the 2 private decks, providing plenty of natural light the entire day.

The space has been set up primarily for renters, so it is kept clear of all personal clutter while providing all the details you need for a comfortable stay. This is more than a rental, it feels like your home away from home. Since we stay at the property in the shoulder seasons ourselves, we are meticulous about maintaining the pristine condition. Unlike other properties, you don't have to worry about lack of attention to detail to fixing the wear and tear a beach house takes (mold, rust, rot, missing paint, etc).

In summer 2022, we added a brand new luxury street legal golf cart to the property! It comes complete with free beach/public parking, leather seats, and a great sound system. You will have a blast riding the golf cart to the nearby shops, restaurants, beach access, and the pier. We charge $50/day or $250/week for access to the golf cart.

The first floor consists of the garage and entryway. In the back of the garage there is an outdoor shower and propane grills. The second floor has 2 bedrooms, each with their own private full bathroom and closet space as well as the laundry room. The master bedroom is on the second floor and includes a private covered deck, walk-in closet and dedicated workspace. The third floor has a large open living space which includes the kitchen and the living room. The living room wall-to-wall glass doors open from both sides out to the upstairs deck. The 3rd floor's oceanside of the property includes another queen bedroom with a full bathroom that opens up to the common area as well as the bedroom.

Each bedroom includes its own dedicated guest closet space, a dresser, and hangers to make your stay organized and convenient. If you need a 4th bed, there is a high end blow up mattress in the garage you can put in the living room. However, guests shorter than 5'8 enjoy sleeping on the insanely comfortable couch we have instead of the blow up mattress.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need including Pottery Barn Dishware and an additional Ice Machine for your beach days. The dining areas can comfortably fit 6 people outside and 4 inside. There is an additional 6 person folding table available in the case of poor weather.

Have infants? No problem. We have a baby stroller, booster seats, and gates for each floor.

Need to get some work done? We got you covered with really fast WiFi and great workspaces for remote work. The master bedroom's desk (new ergonomic desk chair not photographed yet) looks out towards the vast views of the ICWW. The other work space is the kitchen counter on the other floor, which makes it the ideal place for couples to do a "remote work" stay by the beach with really fast WiFi!

Don't want to lug your beach stuff? As a courtesy, we provide guests with access to 4 beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella, baby items, 2 beach cruiser bikes, free weights, and a new ping pong table in our first floor garage.

Perfect townhouse @ Surf City!
We stayed in this great townhouse with my family and our two dogs. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and had great views of the marshes from the balconies. It is walking distance to the beach. We enjoyed the use of the golf cart to get around town to restaurants and the beach. The linens were also conveniently there when we arrived. Extra plus was that the home was dog friendly. Our host was available to answer any questions. The townhome was perfect for all our needs!

A great stay
The condo is modern and beautifully furnished. The availability of the golf cart was terrific! We never used our cars. The beach is a 2 minute walk away and is a great beach. I recommend it highly.

We thought we were getting….
We stayed for a week at this house and let’s just say, it was not luxury for the price. Outside of the location and the view. If you do not like stairs then this is not your place. The unit was dirty and the kitchen is not very functional. There is no kitchen table inside to eat a family meal, which made it tough to enjoy Topsail Steamers. The AC worked ok and the dryer has to be run at least 4 times to dry the clothes. The odor from the marsh is pungent which makes it tough to sit out on the two decks and cannot have dog go out back to go to the bathroom due to wildlife. The owners were responsive and did their best but the unit just does not live up to the cost when compared to other homes on the island. We highly suggest the golf cart which made the stay fun and great way to get around so you do not have to drive your car. Overall an ok spot but we felt the cost did not match what you get.

Short Walk w/ Great Views!!
James was an amazing host. He was very responsive and kind! We loved the house - not too far from the beach. Adding the golf cart was a nice perk! We drove all over the island and enjoyed all the local eateries!

Excellent Stay!
This townhome was beautiful, clean and accommodated all of our needs. Very comfortable for the 6 of us that stayed, plus our dog. The owner, James, was extremely professional and super responsive to our needs. My advice - rent the golf cart! It was the highlight of our trip - so fun tootling around the island, and the island is very golf cart friendly. The only drawback was that the property is located on a busy street, but we stayed Labor Day weekend - extra traffic. Bonus - location was very accessible to shops, restaurants and short walk to the beach. Thanks James, we had a wonderful stay!!

Beautiful home, great location!
My wife and I found the home just as advertised. Beautiful place, everything we need and more! We immediately felt at home which made for a wonderful weeks vacation. The street it's on is busy, BUT, it's also so close to some of the main attractions. so well worth it. The golf cart is a MUST, was so fun to cruise to our local daily trips to the beach, the shops, and the restaurants. Communication during the trip was 5-start for sure. Will definitely be back!

Great time in Topsail
This place was great for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children - ages 2,6,8). Fantastic view of the sunset over the the marsh. The rental was clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and there were many items there that we did not expect. Bathrooms and kitchen were well cleaned and again fully stocked. The garage had had extra chairs, bikes, beach toys which we also did not expect to find. Quick walk to the beach with smaller children. The owner and rental agency responded quickly to questions. Only negative (and really wouldn't have been a concern if it wasn't for our small kids) is that you're on a busy road (210). Great rental and would rent again (when the kids are older)!!!

Great place to stay!
The property is beautiful inside and out! Close enough to everything to walk but far enough from center of Surf City to have your own space on the beach. We enjoyed all of the “extras” that came with the house!
