About this property

331 Oceanaire Ln. - All the extras included

We keep it simple. No management company, we handle it. No cleaning fees for 5+ night rentals, it's built in to the price. Linens, Towels and paper products are supplied by us, no charge. Do you really want one more thing to make arrangements for? No need to rent bikes either. We got 'em. Low country boil night? No sweat. The steamer and table are ready to go. Grilling? Gas grill on hand. Deposits? I don't like them and I bet you don't either. Don't need a whole week? No problem. The longer you stay the better the discount but you can book as little as 4 nights in the high season and as little as 4 nights in the off season with a $200 cleaning fee. How's that for easy? Don't let the average price per night fool you when comparing. It doesn't tell the whole story.

We want one thing for your family and friends...Have a worry free vacation. Which is why insurance is mandatory. If something goes wrong, we can't have it to spoiling your vacation. Let it go and move on! We strive to provide an 'experience' not just a beach house rental.

Simple!

The Surf City/Topsail area is well known for being a quiet family oriented vacation spot. The beaches are clean and rarely crowded. The ability to enjoy the sound and the ocean lend itself to an amazing experience that you won't find anywhere else.

We picked this house because of the view and it's proximity to the beach access while staying far enough off the main road that it is quiet and peaceful. The beach access is at the end of the street. It is set up to sleep 10. Two Master Bedrooms with King Beds, a Guest room with a Queen Bed and a kids room with a bunk bed and two extra twin mattress' if needed.

We tried to think of everything that you might use at home and would want on vacation. This reverse floor plan home is new to the rental market and professionally decorated. Parking is plentiful with a 4 car driveway. Bring the less mobile family members, this home has an elevator to make it easy for them to enjoy their vacation too.

We hope you will love the area as much as we do and hope you will enjoy our home. Feel free to reach out to us with questions.

Topsail Island

We enjoyed our stay at Shore Thing. The back of the house has a sound view with the best sunsets you can imagine. It was fun to watch all the boata and wildlife. Each bedroom has comfy beds and its own bathroom. There are tons of towels available and linens are included. Bring your own beach towels. There is also a Yeti backpack cooler, 10 bikes and chairs included. We had absolutely everything we needed and it was nice not having to take all that stuff. The hot tub was also a hit during our spring trip. A great house at the end of a cul de sac directly across from the beach access. We enjoyed our stay! Be sure to try the roller skating on the island!

About the host

Hosted by Meg & Marccus Rubenstein

Meg and Marccus
Meg owns an Interior Design firm in Raleigh NC and I rent construction equipment. Meg is a native of NC while I am a Marine Corps brat that literally couldn't nail down one place to say where I'm from. We have been married since 2003 and have one son, Jake. We are busy people who have always wanted our own home in the Topsail/Surf City area but couldn't justify owning one since we couldn't be there that often. So... we decided to dive in head first and do this VRBO thing.

Why they chose this property

We looked at many properties over the past few years and could never settle on "the one". We wanted to be close to the beach access but love a sound side view. This home checked all the boxes for us and it just so happens that it was a new home with a great reverse floorpan at the back of a cul de sac! Score!

What we didn't know we wanted was an elevator. Soooo convenient. Carrying groceries up two flights of stairs. NOPE! We didn't know we wanted a bathroom in every bedroom either and now I can't imagine not.
