Beautiful Beachfront 6 Bedroom Home with Private Sundeck on Dune

Welcome to the New Himmelstrand! Heaven's Beach 2.0!

(Note: This is the first time this beautiful home has been available for beach rental. We’ve rented our precious beach home so we’re not new to the VRBO experience.)

Oceanfront coastal living at its finest! This sophisticated Surf City home was planned with incomparable attention to detail and built with the finest materials. Besides offering a breathtaking experience of sand and surf, this well appointed home invites you to lounge or rock in a chair on one of two spacious covered decks. You can also enjoy the sundeck on the dune and bask in full, glorious sun. Take a few steps to the sand and a few more to put your toes in the surf. That's when you understand why this beachfront home is called Himmelstrand, "Heaven's Beach."

Enjoy your stay in one of six large, tastefully decorated ensuite bedrooms. This multi-generation family-friendly beachfront home comes with numerous quality touches and amenities: an elevator services all three floors, newly renovated kitchen fully equipped for foodies and cooks alike with new quartz countertops, hardwoods and tile throughout, separate water heaters for each floor, a gathering play area with kitchenette, spacious outside shower, and beach access directly from the house. Himmelstrand has been lovingly maintained and appointed. Located 3/4 of a mile south of the Surf City pier on a quiet low traffic street, Himmelstrand is an easy stroll or bike ride from the shops and restaurants of Surf City.

Come and stay a while at Himmelstrand, Heaven's Beach. You won't regret it!

Lovely beach house in a great location with everything we needed for a family gathering. The two covered decks with the comfortable rocking chairs were a hit as were all the en-suite bathrooms! The elevator was very helpful in getting groceries and luggage up to the top floor, especially for the 70 year olds in the group. Would definitely return here.

The Perfect Interruption

This property was the perfect setting for a multi-generation vacation. The hosts were timely with responses and even provided a fun shell connection activity with previous and future renters. It’s hard to find a spot where a multiple families with a wide span of ages can have and and relax. The faculties were clean and well care for. With the quick access to the beach and the main strip, it was our perfect spot.

Great view of the ocean and very good location!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was very clean upon arrival and the location is fantastic. The views were wonderful from the top floor with the beach just a very short ways away!!! Location is also fantastic in Surf City with many places to eat, visit, etc. nearby. Our family really enjoyed our stay and the owners were wonderful to work with.

Amazing house!

This is a beautiful and well kept property that is perfect for a group of adults. Everyone has their own bathroom and there’s one room that’s great for a family with kids. The house is well laid out and comfortable and the covered porch is amazing or sitting out and looking at the ocean when it gets too hot to sit on the beach. Really enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay!

We are always in the lookout for the perfect beach house, and we might have just found it this year. We really enjoyed all aspects of our stay. The house was beautiful and well stocked, it was in a great location, and the property was well maintained. Our plans for next summer are still a little up in the air, but if we’re able to come back we would love to stay in this house again.

Fun memories for our entire family

Our stay in this lovely home was wonderful! There was plenty of room for our large family group. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for large group cooking. The home is situated in a quiet area on the beach and the view is beautiful. It is an easy drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Our hosts were gracious and quick to respond to any questions. By far the nicest home and beach location our family has stayed.

Great house for our annual couples weekend!

This is our 19th annual couples trip with the same five couples, and this house is one of our all-time favorites. It fit our group perfectly, and worked out so well for us to play games, have large meals, and spend time on the beach. We loved the easy bathroom access from the beach :). This was also our first house with an elevator, and that was so nice. We are hoping to make this our house every year!

Perfect house for a large gathering!

This was the third time our family has gotten together on a vacation at the beach, and this house was by far everyone's favorite! Kitchen had everything we needed, having the bedrooms with their own bathrooms added so much comfort and convenience for everyone. Lots of places to go off and be by yourself, and lots of places to gather as a family. We are so glad we found your beautiful home! We all raved about your house all week!

You couldn’t ask for a better place to stay! Owner really cares for his property and for his guests to make sure they are totally comfortable with his home! We enjoyed our stay, even though we had to deal with tropical storm Debby. Chad, the owner, stayed in constant contact with us to make sure that we were safe and that we were aware of the situation. Hopefully, we will be able to rent his home again next year. This was our second year staying in his property. Thank you Chad! Kathy

Love

We absolutely love this house! A very well maintained property, accommodating, plenty of room, and very well stocked. This was our 3rd year at Himmelstrand and we already have it booked for 2026. The only reason I didn’t give cleanliness a 5 star was because a couple of bathroom showers were not as clean as they have been in the past and the property manager didn’t contact us. The owner is very proactive, informative, and wants to make your vacation stay the best week for you and your family. Thank you Chad!

Family Labor Day Gathering

We gathered nine adults and one infant for a family celebration. The rooms and beds were comfortable. Ocean access could not be better. And the two covered decks created get connection space. Kitchen was well equipped but with a large group the refrigerator/freezer space was small. Overall it was fantastic.

Location location location!

This is the third year that my family has stayed here. The location of this tremendous home is what really sets it apart - it’s on the beach, within walking distance to shops and the pier, and the beach itself is quiet and clean. The home is well furnished and clean. On that note, Chad was an attentive and superb host. He went out of his way to line up a cleaning crew after flooded roads from Hurricane Debbie made it impossible for the original crew to prep the house for us. Thanks Chad! The home is starting to show some signs of wear - the back door needs replacing & a slider door required serious muscles to open and close. The bunk bed in one of the bedrooms squeaks very loudly and is quite disruptive. On a whole, this house meets our needs and we especially like the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom. You won’t be disappointed!
