Quick Trip
Property was perfect for 3 travelers. Communication and hospitality from the host made this a quick and easy stay. We even had a smores kit for a little treat. We stayed here so we could cook our own meals and it had everything we needed to grill and make a nice breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Great for families
Jim was very accommodating and made it a point to have things out for the kids. The place was very clean, very close to two beach accesses and walkable to restaurants. The house was very well stocked and had everything we needed. We only had to pack our clothes. Jim has thought of every detail and we would definitely come back!

Clean home, close to the beach
My family and I had a wonderful stay on N. Shore Drive. The apartment was very spacious for 3 adults and 2 dogs. Only steps from the beach (access is literally across the street). Very clean and quiet. Jim made himself very available and was very friendly when we saw him on the property multiple times throughout our stay doing maintenance outside.

We came to visit with our daughter whom lives in the area. We brought our youngest daughter and two friends who have never been to the area. It was the perfect space we needed with a very short walk to the beach and nice to walk to surf city and activities. Will definitely stay again.

The host was amazing!! He made you feel how much he cared about people who stayed from the poems of instructions for your stay, the littlest details of accommodations, cleanliness and just the overall welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in. Every detail was thoughtfully curated. Thank you for an amazing stay..

Truly a fantastic find!
The hosts proved to be very helpful and responsive. They've made this home into a cozy and laid back retreat. It comes with comfy beds with soft sheets, lots of seating inside and out, plenty of games and toys for the kiddos, free wifi, a full kitchen + dishwasher and a combo keurig/regular coffee pot, washer/dryer, outdoor grill, PLUS it comes with good shower pressure. As an added bonus, they provided the linens, towels, shower toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soaps), thick beach towels, and kitchen essentials (dishwasher tabs, diswashing liquid, cooking spray, salt/pepper, sugar, creamer, paper towels, aluminum foil, pots/pans, dishes, cups, mugs, utensils, dishclothes, etc). I really appreciated that I didn't have any stairs to climb, plus it came with its own reserved parking spot. The location is also terrific as the beach is right across the street! We would certainly stay here again. A+ experience!

A beach condo packed with fun!
Our family truly enjoyed our stay at the 4 Sea Monkeys. Our host was fantastic, and he left out many beach toys for our kids and water balloons too. This condo offers all the beach amenities needed, is very close to public beach access, and is within walking distance of everything. I highly recommend staying here!! We will be coming back next summer!

This is the place to stay! Look no further!!! Book Now!
This is such a great place to book! Seriously! Quit wasting time looking around and just book it! This property sits across the street and 3 houses away from access point #13! It was so nice to be able to just walk to the beach or back home super fast. The unit is super spacious and fully stocked more than any place I’ve ever stayed at (and I travel A LOT)! Jim has excellent communication and strives to make your trip relaxing, comfortable, and best he possibly can! My 3 nephews from Ohio and myself throughly enjoyed staying here and will most certainly be back!

Wonderful place to stay
My husbands family has traveled to Topsail for nearly 50 years to vacation. This was my first trip joining them. The condo we stayed in was perfect for us, not paying the beach house price tag and being right across the street from access was perfect. The condo itself came with stuff I didn't need to pack that I wish I would have seen/known about prior. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, beach towels and much more provided. Way beyond my expectations. The condo was clean, the location was perfect, the area is quiet and very kid friendly. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

2 Minutes From Beach + Fully Stocked
My friends and I had a fabulous stay at Jim & Edna's home! There was plenty of space for us to spread out and we enjoyed having access to beach essentials like chairs & a wagon. There's also an inflatable pool in the front yard that we enjoyed relaxing in when not at the beach (public access is just across the street). I'll definitely be staying here next time I visit!

Awesome!!
This place has just everything you would want in a beach rental. The host Jim, is excellent to work with, and goes beyond to accommodate and communication is excellent. If you're not ready to spend big money for something right ON the beach, this is certainly the next best thing, with being right across the street and literally a minute walk and you're on the beach. Plenty of room in the house, plenty of extras for the beach and other activities, nice quiet area, but just blocks from shops, food and anything else you need. Just a fantastic stay and hope its available for our next trip.

Great stay
We had a girls trip (2 moms and 4 daughters) and had a great time at this rental. The location was great and so close to the beach access, and also on the better side of Surf City that's not so crowded. It was nice and quiet too. The owner Jim was very responsive and super accommodating. The kitchen worked well and there was plenty of seating in the living room. The only suggestion would be maybe also having a hose for rinsing off on the right side of the property (in addition to the other side entrance) and a few more basic kitchen items like a large stainless steel salad/mixing bowl but that's it. We had a great time and it worked very well with 6 ladies!!
