You deserve a vacation at " LUNA Y SOL BY THE SEA". Wake up to the sound of the crashing waves, smell the salty sea air, & watch the dolphins swim by as you sit on the deck ....take a few steps off of it and get sand between your toes. Walk to town for shopping or to nosh at the awesome restaurants. Cook up a seafood dinner in the fully loaded open air kitchen with induction stove, double ovens and warming drawer. Take an afternoon nap on the couch as you look out thru the wall of glass doors at the blue sea. Retreat to the downstairs 2nd family room for some quiet time. Also perfect for multi-family vacations; space for everyone.
The upper level has a wall of glass french doors looking out onto the ocean which is the main living area: kitchen (wash dishes as you watch dolphins!) and dining. The main bedroom is to the left of the main living area (complete with main bath and very large walk in closet) and the other two upstairs bedrooms are to the right of the living area with a bathroom in between them. One of those rooms has a twin over full bunk (sleeps 3 and faces the ocean) and the other room has two separate twin bunks to sleep four. Downstairs is another completely separate full sized living area with a separate entrance off the patio. It has a wet bar, wall to wall stocked library, full bath and family bunk room (queen bed, and a twin over full bunk-- room sleeps 5, as well as a pullout twin sleeper in the family room). Perfect if you're traveling with another family or with multi-generational family members because everybody can find private space when needed, and then gather in the main living area or oceanfront deck when wanting to socialize.
What are you waiting for? This is our dream beach house and we would love to share it with you!

This property was the perfect vacation spot! Beautiful home with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. This will be our forever vacation rental.
This was my 70th birthday present to me. All my children and grandchildren came. our first time renting a beach house. I am glad we choose this one. You say “oh wow” when you walk in. Bigger than we thought. Perfect for the 14 of us. We had a problem and the owners fixed it right away. Plenty of parking for our 4 cars. Great location for walking to places. The internet kept going out. But that could have been due to it storming every day. The back deck was all the adults favorite place. 5:30 am watching the sunrise and drinking coffee or 10:00 at night enjoying each other’s company. We are already planning a return trip
This is such a beautiful house and it was so convenient walking right out to the beach. The location to Surf City strip area was perfect. We can't wait to stay here again!
The home was perfect for our family! The beach was pristine, the home was immaculate. Chris was super responsive and even worked with the cleaning crew so we could enjoy the home as long as possible.
We loved it!
We had a great stay here, the location was just far enough away from town to avoid the larger crowds but also walkable for dinner. The beach was quiet and the outdoor shower/deck were amazing. The hosts were responsive and helpful. We plan to book this again for next year!
Loved everything about this home. Amazing views, cozy, and clean. The owners were very thoughtful and made the rental experience wonderful! Would definitely recommend this property and hope to return for another stay in the future.
What a fabulous week in TopSail our family had! We can't thank Chris and Rob enough for making the process so easy and for exceeding our expectations with this property. This home fit our our family of 12 perfectly.
We had a wonderful time during our recent visit. The house was just as described, very comfortable with every amenity you could need. Beach access was perfect and the weather could not have been better. We will be looking to stay in this same home next year and hopefully for many years to come.
Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay. The house is beautiful and watching the sunrise every morning from the deck was breathtaking. The owners were fantastic. They made the entire process from booking to checkin so easy. They thought of everything. Although we didn’t cook while we were there, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. We can’t wait to stay here again for our next beach vacation. Thank you for sharing your home with us

This is my families 4th year doing an annual beach trip together and we’ve been searching for a beach house that we can rebook every year- we finally found it! We loved this beach house so much. The owners take great care of it & you can tell they’ve made several upgrades. The front porch was by far our favorite hangout spot, all the updates to it are great! The home is well stocked with cooking equipment if you choose to cook. The home is in an awesome location and not far from several restaurants! We look forward to coming back next year!
We had a group of 9 (kids and adults), and this house fit us perfectly. With room to spare. The bunk room was perfect for our older kids, the kitchen was terrific (had everything you need), and the views and location can’t be beat. We had a wonderful time and hope to return soon! :)
When you first enter Luna Y Sol you are greeted by the most amazing ocean view. Check in was super easy. The house is beautiful and well appointed with everything you need to enjoy your beach vacation. (Including a wonderful library and selection of games!) It accommodated our family of 7 with plenty of room to spare. The house is the perfect location, just far enough away from the crowd yet still walking distance to shops, restaurants and ice cream! Chris and Rob are wonderful hosts, they were quick to respond to anything, great with communication and worked to make sure everything was perfect so we would have the best vacation.
The property worked wonderfully for our group of 11- ranging from 8 to 73! This was our first family vacation to Surf City and definitely won’t be our last. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you should need and the views from the kitchen/living room and back deck will be hard to beat! We loved watching the dolphins each morning and boats come and go throughout the day. Communications with the hosts always went smoothly and they were quick to reply. The whole week was a win to our family. .
This home and location is even better then the photos. The owners worked with our weird needs and made check-in and out super simple. We are already discussing booking the same home next year. I would not hesitate when booking, as we were thankful we booked a June trip in February! This gem goes quickly.
This is our second summer staying at this beautiful beach house and it was just as we remembered….amazing!! :) The house is exactly as described and even more beautiful in person. Communication with the owner is fantastic, check in process was so easy, and the house had everything you need for a relaxing trip. We can’t wait to come back next summer! :)
My husband, myself and my 2 kiddos stayed in this beautiful home. Everything was just as pictured and described on the VRBO website. The house was very clean and had all the amenities you would ever need. The view is breathtaking from the house and the deck!!!! The property manager (who lives just down the road) and the owners were very easy to work with and got back to us promptly with any questions we had. I would recommend this house to anyone wanting an amazingly relaxing vacation. It was so very hard to leave. We will likely be renting this house again for future visits. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!!!
The house looked just like the pictures. We had 8 adults (4 couples) and we all had plenty of space. The kitchen is amazing - plenty of dishes, glasses, gadgets, bowls. Beautiful modern fridge. The deck is fantastic. We spent most of our time out there watching the beach, if we weren’t on it. We lucked out with perfect weather. Our hosts were very attentive and helpful. They decorated that house with a good eye and a lot of care. 5 star experience! Thank you!
Perfect house and location for a mom and daughter trip. Can’t beat the location, Right on the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and bars. Outdoor shower was a wonderful plus. Plenty of space for our party of 8. The deck was great and the view from the living room was amazing. Kitchen was fully stocked with anything you needed, but be aware that during our stay the ice maker was broken ( Chris informed me that they are waiting on a part ) so we just bought some ice-no big deal. Also be aware that you will need to download an app to access the door lock, have your phone charged and ready. Overall we had a great stay and would love to rent again.
The past 10 years we have been coming to vacation in the Topsail area. Our group is made up of 2 families, 9 people all together (4 adults, 5 kids/teens). This house had plenty of room for everyone! The downstairs living space was fantastic for giving the kids a space to play games and watch TV, allowing the adults to relax in the main level enjoying the spectacular view. The convenience of walking out the door and being on the beach with-in steps made beach life with kids so easy. The house is perfectly located within walking distance to many of the local attractions in Surf City. Chris and Robert were great to rent from, they responded quickly anytime we had questions/concerns. We highly recommend this property. As one of our teens said, “ this is the best house we’ve stayed in so far!”
My wife and I spent a week here with our two kids and two nephews. It was absolutely perfect for our needs, especially the lower level living area. The kids used this space in the evening to play games and hang out.
Communication with the owners was the best I have experienced. They were very kind and responsive to any questions we had.
The location was perfect and it was so nice being able to just trek down the small staircase to the beach. Being close to downtown Surf City was nice as well when needing to go out for dinner or groceries.
Cleanliness was spot on as well. You can clearly see the pride in ownership. Everything was in perfect working order and cleaner than many other homes we have visited.
Overall, I’d like to keep this little gem to ourselves for future bookings, but I could not recommend this home more. You won’t be disappointed with the experience!

About the host
Hosted by Chris & Robert Gutierrez
We are a family of five that enjoys each other's company and sharing our time with family and friends. Our favorite things to do are to travel together, play board games, spend time in the garden and out in nature, watching baseball & football, and most of all spending lazy days on the beach. We are advocates of Mother Nature--doing our best to keep her clean and respecting all her "children". We are excited to make new memories here in Surf City and offer our home to you to do the same. We hope that you will always find the magic in each of life's moments, and may your days be filled with love, laughter, and lots of Beauty.
Why they chose this property
Surf City is a wonderful place with friendly people who appreciate a warm, family atmosphere. Our neighbors on either side of us live there year round and are kind and helpful, and in the local area there is a compassionate group of people who dedicate their time to rescuing sea turtles, as well as, assisting baby sea turtles back to the ocean. We feel quite blessed to be part of a community that is respectful, good-natured, and fun.
