Shore Thing | Oceanfront + Private Beach Access!

It's definitely a Shore Thing at this oceanfront home in southern Surf City! Newly renovated interior for the 2022 season! All new photos!

The upper level great room with vaulted ceilings affords a wonderfully welcoming opening feeling while the ocean views from the living, dining, and kitchen areas enthrall and make sure you know you are right where the Atlantic Ocean meets the sandy shores of Topsail Island! With 4 calming bedrooms, a TV in the living area and each bedroom with access to streaming apps and cable service, a two level oceanfront deck with seating, and a private direct beach access that puts you right on the beach, you can count on being able to do your Shore Thing while making memories at this newly updated vacation home away from home!

Other than the cleaning service, everything was great. Overall it was not cleaned well before our arrival: windows, blinds, dusty furniture, dirty bedskirt, dirt under furniture, bathroom counters not cleaned well, no dishwasher detergent or enough hand soaps, rough towels, no kitchen towels…But the location was absolutely wonderful

Beautiful beach get away
We stayed at Shore Thing for week with family. It was a gorgeous house. Plenty of room for us to have our own space. Perfect for kids and a dog. We loved the deck space and the hoses to rinse off. Open kitchen/ living room was great community space. It was like we had our own private beach. There really wasn’t anything we would change. It was a small piece of paradise and we hope to return!
