About this house rental
[Contactless Check-in and Check-out]
A well appointed single level, 1,300 sqft cottage, a little over 100 yards from quiet beach access. This open, 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home is on a quaint and quiet side street lined by old oak trees. The wooded surroundings of the home provides great opportunities to see foxes, frogs, raccoons and deer many months of the year. You are far enough away from the road to not hear cars traveling up and down the island. Most times you'll only hear the sound of waves hitting the beach. Very little ambient light from other houses or street lights, so lots of great star viewing.
Bring your EV! A 240VAC/50A, NEMA 14-50 outlet is available in the parking area for you to use for charging your vehicle. A charger is not supplied so bring your preferred travel charger with you.
The beach area in front of the access point is not crowded because of the lack of nearby 'house density' or public Access. It is a quiet area with lots of families. Only 1.5 miles from downtown Surf City and the pier.
The Kitchen is fully appointed with lots of flatware for serving great meals. Includes a coffee maker, food processor, toaster oven, crock pot, blender and a myriad of pots of pans for cooking a wonderful meal. There is bar seating at the kitchen counter for 4 and a custom farmhouse dining table that will seat 6.

We had an excellent stay at Ian's! This was our fourth year coming to Topsail / Surf City, our first staying at Ian's and it was our favorite stay thus far. Excellent communication. We had an "issue" when we arrived to a clogged toilet, Ian communicated swiftly, found a solution and a plumber was there the next morning fixing the issue (previous guests at some point flushed some paper towels). Ian even sent over a text to let us know about a weather related updated from Surf City. Despite the fact we had a very rainy week, we still managed to enjoy Ian's place and our vaca! Everything was clean and well appointed. Kitchen was great, dining area worked well for dinner and game nights, all the bedrooms were comfy and the showers were great. Honestly, a really fantastic place and Ian communicated effectively and efficiently. We'd definitely stay again. Thanks Ian!

Overall this was an excellent property for a quick trip to the beach. While it isn’t on the beachfront, the location was super close and convenient. I appreciated so many small details, that really go into making a rental feel comfortable—from the ease of the door code entry, to the clean fresh scent upon entering, the charging port outlets, to the comfortable back deck seating. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely book again.

Place was great and just as described! Was only my husband and our 2 lil' dogs, and it rained, but the deck sure looked inviting! Has a giant couch perfect for lots of people to hang out at once - many rentals don't have this great feature.

This is our second time staying at Sandy Crack, and we had a wonderful time! The owner is very responsive to emails and very accommodating. The location is fantastic and the home is very comfortable for all our needs. Having access to beach chairs at the house was great, so we didn't have to bring ours. We love everything about this house and will definitely be back!

This is our second stay at the Sandy Crack. There's no worries from check in to check out. Everything was simple. The owner is very quick to respond to just a little things that we had questions about. The home is close enough walk for us to take a quick walk back to get out of the sun or grab a sandwich in the air conditioning before going back to the beach. My husband likes to fish and there is usually space to do that, you're close enough to things to do but far enough away it's not crowded. the kitchen is nicely equipped with most anything you need. We enjoy sitting on the back deck to relax after a great day at the beach. Overall, we really enjoy our vacation at topsail staying at the Sandy Crack. There's no worries which makes it a true vacation. We thank the owner each year for a wonderful, worry free stay at their home!

Home was in a nice quiet street. The home was in spectacular condition and very clean. There were very clear information sheets inside the home for everything you could think of. Supple amount of beach chairs and other outdoor items including charcoal, lighter fluid, and a lighter for the charcoal grill that was provided for use. We did not have to shop for anything other than our groceries for the week! It was an easy walk to the beach access. Stress free keyless check in and out. Information was exchanged with the owner easily and he was very responsive to any questions. We enjoyed our stay!

This was a great house, exactly as pictured. There were Pros and Cons but mostly Pros.
Pros: GREAT location, so close to the beach, nice quiet street, house was as pictured, plenty of space for my husband and I, my Mother in Law, and our small pup. Well equipped kitchen, comfy furniture and beds. Communication with owner was fantastic.
Cons: Definitely need a new shower curtain in master bath, and it would have been nice if the lawn had been mowed. The grass was as tall, if not taller, than our little 10lb pup. A little step up in the cleaning would be helpful (dog hair on and under furniture, behind TV, etc) but it wasn't a big deal at all.
Again, the location alone was enough to give this 5 stars!

My wife and I stayed here for a week and everything was perfect. The walk to the private access to the beach is a breeze and everything was as advertised. Being able to bring our dog with us was a huge plus. The island is very dog friendly.

Beautiful Perfection
My family loves topsail. The beaches are excellent for everything. Sandy crack was an easy quick walk from the beach. Sandy crack was furnished for family comfort and relaxing. The kitchen had everything you could ask for. The beds were amazingly comfortable. The deck with cafe lighting and cushioned seating was great for hanging out with our friends and family! We will definitely return for vacation again!

Great week with our dogs
Really liked the house. My adult sons loved that outdoor shower. Beds were very comfortable (have had problems with that with other rentals). Very cozy family room with enough room for us and our two medium size dogs. My only complaint is that the road is not paved, so I had to walk my poor bicycle to the main road before starting my ride (an issue only true cyclists would understand). Already booked the house for next year!

One of the best!
My family and I recently spent a relaxing week at this property. The house is clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed for anyone’s vacation. It’s located on a private lane with only a very short walk to the beach. Perfect vacation spot for my small family. Just delightful!

Great host, great location.
The house and location were beautiful. We really enjoyed the quaint lane leading to the property; just a short walk from the beach. It was quiet, surrounded by trees, and very peaceful. The beach wasn’t too crowded at all, and the outdoor shower and hose were perfect for those extra sandy days. A lot of reviews mention that the house was very clean, but unfortunately for us, something must have gone wrong with the cleaning before our arrival. The floors were very dirty, there were food remnants still left in the sink, and surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen needed a wipe down. I contacted Ian, and he responded immediately. He helped me locate the vacuum and cleaning supplies in the house and offered a partial refund for the cleaning fee straight away. Even though I was disappointed to start off our vacation with cleaning and vacuuming, we really appreciated Ian as a host promptly responding to the situation so we could make the best of it and try to enjoy our time.

The house was fantastic!
The house was super clean, Ian was friendly and helpful, and the location itself in the area was great. Only complaint is we found Surf City wasn’t our vibe. It is very much a “surfer dude” vibe which we should have known by the name and deeper research. We are more of your meat and cheese with a good bottle of wine couple. Regardless, for the type of location, everything was fantastic.

Amazing VRBO house!!
Great beach rental across the street from beach access. Clean and beautifully decorated. Love the outdoor shower! We missed NC and this was our first trip back since 2019. We were just party of 2-- myself and college student daughter. Hope to return next year for sure.

All You Need Is Love
My husband, dog, and I stayed the weekend at this wonderful little oasis. We could tell immediately once we walked in that this cottage had been well loved and cared for. It had everything we needed, was clean as could be, and very comfortable! It was great that the beach access was conveniently located and the street the house is on is in a private cul-de-sac. Thanks for the variety of dvds. We watched Thelma and Louise ( a fave of ours) and relaxed on the back deck during the late afternoon sunset. We will certainly come here again-thanks Ian!,,

Short Weekend
Ian, the owner, was very organized and responded quickly. The house had everything you would want and all of the equipment and appliances worked. We especially liked the back deck and seating. Too bad we had such a short stay!

We decided to stay at Sandy Crack for a quick weekend away. We thought the layout to the property was very spacious and the interior seemed to be renovated recently. We were particularly surprised that you could hear the ocean from the back deck. We also found the beach to be a closer than we expected. It was an easy walk to the beach and then in town to grab breakfast and lunch. The owner was very responsive and easy to deal with. All in all, a perfect weekend away.

Descent comfortable place
The Sandy Crack is clean, comfortable and Ian is proactive and responsive. During our stay there was a furnace issue. Ian reached out to us, before it got cold enough for us to even realize and hand an HVAC guy out within the hour. Totally out of his control but handled promptly and professionally. Over all place is great, pics are accurate, and pics are accurate. We’d stay again

Loved our stay
This was our first time in the area and we loved our first stay. It’s a small walk to the beach. The house itself is clean and very welcoming. I love that a lot of sunlight comes in through all the windows. The check in process was so simple and the owner communicates so well and in a timely manner. The master bedroom bed was a little uncomfortable for me, but I’m not a fan of memory foam beds. Overall, I would stay again.
