About this house rental
This home is absolutely pristine inside with all new furniture, flooring, custom painting and amenities. New living leather sectional seating in living room has been added for the 2023 season. The some of the photos are temporary as the living room furnature is just arrived Nov 2022. We own 3 properties in this "Ocean Watch Villas community! [See also 1365373 and 1201949 for photos and reviews].
Our homes all have our signature high quality bedding and deck furniture. This home will have some very different and distinct colors and beautiful custom faux finished walls.
If you have ever been to Surf City, you are familiar with this this home as it sits in a group of 4 iconic luxury ocean front buildings (which make up 8 luxury ocean front town homes). These large beautify candy collored town homes makeup the town of Surf City shore line and sit on North Shore drive in the 100 block next to Daddy Mac’s Restaurant and across from Shaka Taco. This home is the large lavendar home. You can truly park your car when you arrive and not get in it again for your entire vacation! Walking distance (1/2 mile or less) to 15 eating establishments from snow cones and ice cream to some of the islands best restaurants pizza and entertainment for adults and children! You can even walk to the marina and rent a boat, go out on a fishing charter or take a dinner cruise. Walk to the surf city park and enjoy free Friday night outdoor movies and concerts or just enjoy all that the town has to offer. When you come home you can relax by the private community pool overlooking the beach (Private to the 8 luxury town homes). The pool is just exclusive enough to retain the privacy but gives the children and young adults a chance to make friends quickly.
While this home has “location, location, location”, the real benefit is the quality of the home itself. The first thing that you will notice is the quality of the construction. The home features porcelain tile and premium vinal plank flooring throughout, heavy trim work and 10 ft ceilings. The quality construction also includes heavy insulation, so you will immediately be impressed by how quiet the home is (important when you are vacationing with a large group). Each of the 4 main bedrooms is a master (having its own private full bathroom attached). The bedrooms are furnished with three King bedroom, and one bunk room (containing on custom build Twin XL over Queen and one custom Twin over twin). These bunk beds are not your typical bunk beds. They have premium mattresses and we have extended the head-space between the beds so an adult can literally sit in the bed without smacking their head on the upper bunk or feeling clustraphobic. The fifth bedroom is what we call an "overflow room". It is located on the entry level and has a custom twin over full bunk to help accommodate the overflow when unexpected additional guests show up (because you know when you have a wonderful place at the beach ….it will happen!). Again, this is a custom built bunk with premium mattresses. Note that this room does not have a private bathroom, (but your guest will find it far superior to a sofa sleeper alternative for your overflow that is offered in many other homes!!) Everyone will appreciate the elevator to move luggage, food and family between floors.
We rented for nearly 30 years before we were finally able to purchase our own rental property in Topsail. We used all that knowledge to make this home a superb rental.
Here is what we learned and what we have done to make this home a perfect rental experience for you!
After location, location, location, comes BEDDING, BEDDING, BEDDING! Ever gone to a great rental only to find that after 2 or 3 nights your body ached due to poor bedding and inferior mattresses? You work too hard for your vacation to take a chance that you bedding will be so horrible that you will not be able to get a restful sleep.
Next is deck furniture! Ever go to a home with little or no deck furniture? Or furniture that sits so low you are left looking through the railings like prison bars? This home features high top resin deck chairs. These chairs are not only extremely comfortable, they give you a spectacular unobstructed view of the ocean. Enjoy the stunning views from the two covered ocean front decks overlooking the ocean and swimming pool You will never want to go inside!
Fully stocked kitchen and Pantry items: This kitchen is complete with all the kitchen gadgets and utensils you could desire. We even have turkey roasters! The home features a “pay it forward pantry” where we start the prime season with spices, pantry items, coffee, shampoo, paper products, laundry detergent and kitchen non-perishables. These items are available for our guest to use and enjoy on an honor system. We only ask that when you use the last of something, you pay it forward to the next guest by replacing it. If you have non-perishables you do not want to take home, feel free to pay it forward for the next guest to enjoy.
Pay it forward beach chairs for guest use: We do not guarantee beach chairs however our guests frequently leave them thus provide several collapsible/folding beach chairs for the home. We all know that the salt air and sand cause these chairs to rapidly degrade. If you use our chairs and one happens to break, we ask that you simply pay it forward and replace the chair so that our next guests can enjoy the benefit of not having to pack these items. You can also feel free to leave a chair behind if you do not have room for it.
Parking is under the home for 3 large cars. If cars are small compact cars, you can sometimes squeeze a 4th but you may not have the car hang out into the driveway and can not park in any of the community common area (it is a tow away zone with towing enforced). Overflow paid public parking is available directly across the street. Weekly rates are available for the paid public parking.
500 count premium bed linens are included:
Furnishings Matter! This home features seating for 10 around the dinner table and seating for 4 at the bar counter. Because we understand that sometimes you may need to check in at work or check your personal email, the home has a small office set up including desk, chair and computer monitor in the 2nd floor master bedroom for the use of our guests during their stay. The home also has commercial grade router for fast reliable service throughout the home.
Free Early Check in: Most homes check in at 3-5 pm or charge a fee from $150 to $250 to check in early. We offer our guests FREE EARLY CHECK-IN at 1:00 PM! You will be surprised what a different that makes to get settled in early and enjoy the beach!

We came! We beached it! We arrived on a Saturday, did not get back in our car until the following Saturday! There was no need to go anywhere! This house was fabulous! The check-in process was so easy & flawless. The house had everything we needed & is walking distance to many great restaurants! The property owner called a few days before to give suggestions and recommendations & they did not disappoint! The beach was incredible! The 1 pm check-in was great. We are definitely coming back!

Location, location, location! We were told everything was in walking distance and that is so true. We had 5 little ones in our unit and we didn't get in the car once! Loved everything about our stay! The unit was stocked with cooking utensils and kitchen ware to meet the needs of the 12 in our group. I would definitely stay again and recommend this property! The owner was super easy to work with and responded quickly.

This is our second year staying at Topsail Beach in Ted Waltz property. We had our family and grandkids with us and had an absolute blast!! Am looking forward to booking for next year. This property is absolutely gorgeous and the location is the best on Topsail Beach! We have found our forever home for future vacations. Ted is absolutely the best!!!
5.0 / 5.0
This property is amazing! I cannot recommend this property enough. It is in the heart of Surf City, within walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. The pool was clean, quiet and a nice change. The beach is clean as well. The property itself is very well taken care of. And the beds are probably the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The owners were very easy to work with and even though we didn’t need to bug them, they were more than okay with us texting or calling for anything. This is a top notch location and property!

An absolutely amazing property with an incredible location! We were so lucky to have found the perfect spot for our girls weekend! Owners made the process so seamless and were very attentive. Everything is what we expected and more!
Thank you so much for sharing your special location with us and we would totally rent this property again!
Morning sunrises with the dolphins and surfers are forever in our memories!
Truly a magical place!

The property is exactly as listed and was perfect for hosting family for Christmas dinner and another family gathering after Christmas. The owner has updated the living room furniture, so it is even BETTER than pictured. Ted is super easy to work with and check-in is a breeze. We were fortunate with the weather and enjoyed watching dolphins and surfers during our stay. The location could not get any better. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Our second year at this great property. Everything is as promised, and the pay-it-forward policy is very handy for arriving and nice to not have to trash good food and supplies when leaving. Convenient to most stores and eateries by walking, and the hosts are tops!

First time in Surf City and absolutely loved it and this place! Ted is one of the most responsive hosts I ever worked with. The house was just as described and the tall ceilings made it feel even bigger. We were able to walk everywhere and staying oceanfront was wonderful.

Excellent location Kitchen well stocked Very clean Very cozy fun to be in house ,owner very responsive. Was surprised by the beach alcohol restriction area in front of the house. Constant beach patrols and citations issued to several persons sitting on the beach was disruptive.

5.0 / 5.0
We usually opt for a more remote place to stay on the island but we thought we’d change it up this year and stay right in the heart of Surf City. It was so much fun! And everything we needed was in walking distance. The home was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Ted (the owner) was great! It was everything we hoped it would be.
5.0 / 5.0
This property was wonderful. Spacious. Accommodated all 10 of us - 4 kiddos (ages 6-15) and 6 adults. There was enough seating and living space and bathrooms for us all to spread out and be comfortable. The suggestions in the book for food and activities were spot on. We rented e-bikes from 50 South; visited rescued turtles at Karen Beasley; hunted for ghost crabs; and went kayaking on the intercoastal waterways. So much to do and most was within walking distance of our rental. We rented beach chairs from Sweet Dreams, which has everything - making plane travel so much easier. This place is set up for you to walk in and just jump right into vacation mode. Any questions we had, the owners responded right away. Would definitely stay here again!

You can walk to most everything and you’re steps away from a pool and the beach. Doesn’t get much better!

We stayed for a week with our extended family. Plenty of room for everyone. They have a high chair and pack n play at the house. The owner was so kind and had a pack n play delivered the day after we got there because the one in the house was more a beach version (no bottom). Kitchen is fully equipped. Fabulous location!! You can walk everywhere. Plenty of room for 3 big suv/vans to park. I’d suggest people to bring beach towels, there were none there. The only big issue we had was the elevator doesn’t always work. My handicapped and elderly father did get locked in it and it kept moving up and down about 6 inches, enough to make you motion sick. I was able to call the owner who gave good instructions for how to get my father out. But beware these instructions are not in the elevator and you must be tall enough to reach the top of the door to get yourself out. Not sure how you would get out if you couldn’t reach or didn’t have a cell phone to call for help. The owner did state after the fact that a part was on order for it to correct this issue. Elevator issue aside, it’s a great house.

We had the best time at this beach house! Communication with Ted was so helpful. He was able to give us easy access to the home, but also provided us with information about food options and a great place to take the grands for rainy weather! Thank you for suggesting the Please Touch Aquarium across the street! Our grands (ages 3-8) loved it and didn’t want to leave!! Also, the house was so clean and just as it was advertised. The walk to the beach is much closer than previous beach houses we’ve rented. We loved the outdoor shower (with hot water) for bathing off the kiddos to keep from tracking sand in the house! This was our first trip to Surf City! We chose it because of our son being stationed at Fort Bragg. We fell in love with this quaint beach town!! We hope to visit again!! Wish I could give this one 10 stars!!! Outstanding!!

What a fantastic week at this property. We loved the views of the ocean, the very short walk to great eating places, and the best appointed kitchen we've ever stayed in. Actually had numerous knives/utensils for kitchen prep. Everyone enjoyed having their own room and bathroom. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our time at the home. The home was clean, kitchen well stocked with spices, cookware, dishes, etc. Mr. Waltz was very accommodating if something needed repaired or if we had any questions. Would stay at this home again.

The house is beautiful and the location is amazing! We never had to get in the car. Everything in town is within walking distance, including the fishing pier! The house has plenty of room for a large group and is very clean and comfortable. Ted, the owner, is amazing to work with. He called the week before and gave the run-down on the house. He immediately replied when I texted with questions. We also thought we had left behind items, he immediately contacted the cleaning company to see if the items had been found. One more thing, check-in time is 1pm!! Our family had the best time and cannot wait to go back!

Great time!
Our multigenerational family had a wonderful summer vacation! There was plenty of room for everyone to be together and also have our own space. Access to the beach, pool and having plenty to do within walking distance was definitely a plus and hit for all. The bedding was phenomenal! I would definitely recommend staying here and would consider returning here next year!

Incredible location and property
The house is beautiful - better than the pictures- and very clean and comfortable. Extremely convenient location within walking distance to more stores and restaurants than I could count! The owner was wonderful. We had a couple of questions and he responded immediately and corrected a small issue with even more urgency than was expected. The 6 adults and 7 children had a blast!!
