Perfect Beach Get Away

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at this beach house! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and just a short walk to the beach—super convenient for our family. It had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway, and we really appreciated how comfortable and welcoming it felt. Highly recommend, and we’d definitely stay again!

Excellent Stay at the Beach

We had a very nice stay at a beautiful property. It was a short walk across the street to the beach. All amenities were included. Just a nice place to hang out. Surf City is an underrated beach, and I would fully recommend this property!

Surf City Vacation

Great experience. We got exactly what we were hoping for when we booked: A very short walk to the beach, a home large enough for two small families, and no surprises or issues. It was a wonderful week. We would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Lovely Beach House

This is a great beach house to stay at -- fully stocked, even with towels and linens, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Beds are super comfy. Beautiful interior. Very clean. Conveniently located almost directly across from the public access to the beach. This is a place we would definitely stay at again!

Gracious Host - Comfortable Property

The property is quite comfortable, from the couches in the living room to the queen beds. There is a TV for your viewing wherever you find yourself. There is lots to do just a short drive from this property: restaurants (Low Tide Steak House was our favorite; also Beach Shop and Grill), miniature golf, art galleries, gift shops with delicious chocolate. Kristin is a wonderful host and was readily available to answer any questions we had.

We were very pleased with the house. It is better than it’s pictures which were fine. Also, the location was closer to the beach then I thought. The house is right across the street from the beach with beach access just one house down. I highly recommend this property.

Affordable beach house

We enjoyed the house with a couple of exceptions. The second queen bed was uncomfortable and the AC is difficult to manage. It’s often vey cold on the bedroom level if the living area is comfortable. Overall the house is a good value with everything you need for a great beach vacation.

Great, clean spot for a family vacation

This place was great. Very clean house with comfy beds. Everything you need to cook dinner at home if you want. The door of the fridge was stocked with a number of condiments, dressings, etc. Easy access to the beach. We found the stretch of beach to be nice and wide and a little quieter than some of the other areas. We had times where we could look to each side and see crowds even though our area had plenty of open space. We had no issues while we were there so didn’t need to reach out to the owner, but any communication we had prior to our stay came with quick responses. We would definitely come back.

We had an amazing trip to Surf City, NC and this home had such a positive impact on our experience. The location is excellent, the beach is literal steps from the door. Everything you could want or need is within 20 minutes driving distance. The home is incredibly comfortable and nicely appointed. It seems as though the hosts have thought of practically everything, almost any need/desire was anticipated and taken care of. Some requests I had initially were a large pot for a seafood boil, a crockpot, and a kiddie pool - all of which were on site already for guest use. There are plenty of linens and towels and a storage area packed with beach gear. We travelled with my teen/young adult children, their friends, and three dogs and the house was plenty spacious. We all had areas where we could come together to hang out, but also enough privacy. Even the couch is large enough to accommodate us all for movie nights. Kristin was very easy to get in touch with and provides tons of information and details. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

We had a wonderful time at this house!! It was very clean and nice when we arrived. The beds are comfortable with nice linens. It is very close to the crossover and the beach was never crowded. The outdoor shower is huge and a great feature. It’s somewhat secluded so you get really nice privacy. We definitely want to stay here again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Kristin Cawood

Host profile image
Tim, my husband of 35 years, and myself have always wanted a place at the beach. Tim's family spent many summer vacations and Thanksgivings on Topsail creating so many memories for his family as well as ours including our three children.
We have been empty nesters for about 10 years and decided we could take this challenge. I am the designated property manager (Kristin) and am thoroughly enjoying making this not only a home for our family but for all we share this home with.
Tim and Kristin Cawood

Why they chose this property

We really love the south end of Topsail Island which is included in Surf City. We are just a short distance from all the activities 2 miles south of the traffic turn about.
We love the privacy the grove of holly trees give that the house is nestled in. Not only does this provide privacy but it also provides protection from the elements. The house sits off the road and so it is very quiet and relaxing.
We also feel it is a great property for anytime during the year not just summer.

What makes this property unique

This is a family home. Please treat it with care. That being said, much care is taken to create a beautiful, eclectic atmosphere as well as superior comfort as I only purchase the most comfortable bedding for all rooms.
Also, an Echo Dot in the living area and downstairs foyer makes asking about the weather, etc. from Alexa an added convenience.
