This house had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun spring break trip. The house location couldn't be better, and having the ice cream shop and shaved ice stores on the property were heaven to my kids (store hours were restricted due to off-season dates, but during prime time, we would've been there daily). Being able to lookout at the ocean from the deck hot tub was amazing, and we loved the easy access to the beach. The house has everything you could need - towels, linens, kitchen necessities, beach chairs, newer appliances, etc. The basement bunk bed and sofa bed are dated and a bit wobbly, but our kids didn't mind. The temperature differences between the basement and the upstairs were a bit off but having 2 thermostats remedied that problem. The owners and manager were great communicators, and we truly loved our stay!

I ended up having my original plans be messed up and tried to find a last minute booking and spoke with the owner on another plat form and he spent hours trying to help till eventually I booked it here and then helped walk me through the entire check in process and made the transaction from arriving to leaving one of the easiest ever. And now I am planning on going back for my friends next bday.

Don’t hesitate to rent this house. This house is more like a home than a rental—beautifully decorated, within walking distance of everything, and a very large deck that feels like you’re almost sitting on the beach. The host goes out of his way to provide everything needed for a beach vacation and best part is the sheets are already on the bed. We hope to return many times.

I cannot say how much my family loved this place. Waking up and drinking coffee as I watched my kids on the beach searching for shells is priceless. We came in November and the weather was perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked which made it easy to make family meals. I plan on coming back for sure to make more memories.

Great home to rent, excellent location, will go back.

We spent 6 days here and just really loved the location and house. Actually, hired a photographer to take some pics at the house and pier. John and Christine were amazing and every question I had was answered within 10 min. Those questions were all do to user error. LOL Honestly, the best location I've every stayed at. 12 steps to the beach. We had so much fun together, we never even left the deck, house or beach until the last day. Can't go wrong with this place. PS. There is an coffee shop / Ice-cream and flavor ice store at the end of the drive way. . Make sure you bring a few bucks as my 8 year old made me go each day. LOL. Sometimes twice a day . I wish I could attach some of the pics we took. 5 stars

Property owners were extremely nice housekeeper was helpful. Home was absolutely beautiful and had everything you needed there which was nice. Complimentary bottle of wine. Lots of pots and pans to choose from if you are cooking.

Such a beautiful beach house. We really enjoyed our time at Surf City Heart!

The location is what makes this property so great! As soon as you walk out onto the balcony the beach and pier are right there! The house itself is nice but we came specifically for the views, waves and sun so most of our time was spent outside. We really appreciated having the beach chairs and boogie boards for use. When the clouds started to roll in it was relaxing to get into the hot tub and still be a part of the scenery. A few small issues were that some of bowls and glasses that were put away in the cabinets. A bowl that still had old crusted on food in it and lipstick on the rim of 2 of the wine glasses. The Kureig Coffee machine also had not been cleaned in a long time. The water tank does have to be scrubbed out every other week or so because there was green slime at the bottom. All the downfalls were fixable and we did not let it ruin our time. Just something to improve upon. But we would hope to be welcome back again as we were all enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

We loved the location of this house and being able to walk to all the shops and restaurants. The entire family loved the hot tub on the deck. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The ice cream (every flavor we tried was great!!) and shaved ice so close with amazing beach access in the back made it the perfect getaway. Walkable to lots of dinner options. Plenty of space for a big crew, lots of towels and comfortable beds. Right by the pier. We spent a lot of time on the back deck just hanging out. Hot tub with an ocean view is great. Easy and fast communication with manager. Would love to stay here again sometime.

Great house. Close to everything. Especially love the large, open deck. Feel like you’re right on the beach. Hope to return again one day.

Really nice hosts and a great property in a great location. Hot tub overlooking the beach is amazing.

We’ve been coming to Topsail for almost 20 years. This is by far the nicest house we’ve rented. Spacious, extremely clean, convenient to everything, and has everything you need for your stay. We’ve already booked a return trip!

What a great place for off season. Everything was walking distance and the pier was next door! Hot tub overlooking the ocean was incredible.

Wen over thanksgiving for a girls weekend. We are in our 40’s and planned to stay low key. This house was everything we wanted and more. You could not have asked for anything better. All bed were so nice and soft. Layout of the house was perfect for girls getaway or a large family. But the star of the show was the hot tub in the front deck as you listened to the waves and watched dolphins!!!! On-site property manager was very responsive and helpful. The only thing I would suggest is a TV for the master bedroom. Every room had one except that room. That was about all this house lacked. It was well stocked from the kitchen to the linen closets. It was well labeled as well. We had everything we needed.

PROS- You can’t get any closer to the pier than this property. Very clean with sufficient towels and supplies. Loved that there were supplies already handy from previous renters. The property manager was very responsive and very user-friendly. CONS- The master bedroom was very warm compared to the rest of the house. The downstairs was freezing cold when the air conditioner was on upstairs. We were very satisfied with this property and would rent again.

Everyone in our group agreed that we have never stayed in a better equipped or more beautiful property. We lacked for nothing in the remarkable kitchen with everything carefully labeled and thus so easy to find. Even the deck furniture is very high quality. Decorations are lovely and tasteful. The house is right in the middle of Surf City but faces the beach and so still feels remote and private. If we had any complaint it was that the temperature, particularly for the downstairs bedroom, was difficult to set. It kept resetting to a very low temperature. Small issue for otherwise incredible vacation.

Our group had a wonderful stay at this comfortable, clean and very well stocked home. The beds are comfortable and the home is modern and very lovely. Steps to the beach and a very short walk to nearby restaurants and ice cream shops. (The slope to the beach is steep so if you have mobility concerns, there is easier access just a very short walk from the road.) We would love to come back.

The view was amazing and everything was in walking distance. The house was whimsical and everything was labeled where everything was. This would be a great place for a family vacation. There was a few things wrong with the place however. The deck had nails sticking out hurting our feet. The screen doorknob to the porch broke off, but easily fixed. The stove top button came off. We thought we had beach front access but it was closed off so we had to walk a little bit to the beach. The icecream and shaved nice was nice. The kids loved being able to walk right on up and order sweets. The beach plants right beside the rooms was a nice touch. It kept the windy nights warm. All in all, it was a nice place to vacation at, just be careful of the nails in the porch.
