So Much Fun! 3 BR 3 Bath Beach House Topsail Island Surf City NC 5 mins walk bch

Beautiful and modern 3 bedroom 3 bath townhouse (one side of duplex) with 5 minute walk to beautiful Topsail Island beach. Public beach is two and a half blocks away, with public parking if needed. Come see why TripAdvisor rated Surf City on Topsail Island number 5 on their list of top 20 affordable beach destinations across the US - and USA Today top 10 uncrowded beaches! Strictly NO PETS. They WILL be reported by the HOA and you will have to leave. NO PARTIES (The Sheriff will be called). The home has a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie board, and beach kid's toys are provided. The home is right on the intracoastal waterway (sound) so you can kayak, standup paddle board (SUP), and fish or crab right out the back door and enjoy beautiful sound views and stunning sunsets from the home and two decks. Community dock right behind home for sunbathing, kayaking, SUP, fishing, enjoying the view or reading a book. Den, kitchen, one bedroom, and bathroom are on the first level (second floor). Master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and 3rd bedroom and 3rd bath are on the second level (third floor). Ground level is a car port that holds 3 cars. Two kayaks, two bikes, two stand up paddle boards, a 2 person canoe, light fishing rod (bring your own tackle), crab net, and golf clubs are provided free for guest use! The home is 1/2 mile from the heart of Surf City shops, pier, and restaurants - so you can walk, bike, or kayak to town! No need to get in your car after you arrive! Only 2-4 night minimum - depending on season, not a week like many beach homes - and you can check in on any day of the week that's available! The cleaning fee includes linens (sheets and towels) - so they will be provided (unlike many beach homes where you have to bring your own or obtain a separate service). Check out our affordable seasonal rates! Sleeps 7 (6 in beds, one on "floor bed cushion" which is best for a child). Bedroom arrangement: master bedroom: queen bed, bedroom 2: queen, bedroom 3: 2 twin beds - can be put together if desired. Free wifi. 3 TVs with cable (1 DVR), one Ruku with guest mode. There is a propane gas grill. There is a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water (for after the beach). The nearby beach is perfect for swimming, body surfing, sunbathing, boogie boarding or surfing. If you want to jetski in the sound, tell Surf City Jetski Rentals you're staying at So Much Fun! and get $10 off your rental! You can't dock jetskis or boats at our dock (kayaks/johnboats only), but it's only a 15 minute kayak paddle or a 10 minute bike ride to the jetski place on the water in Surf City. Outdoor shower may not be available from October to March due to winterization. Boat ramp and marina nearby for fishermen, cruising the ICW, jetskiers, and skiers. You can rent surf boards and more kayaks and SUPs at Herrings Outdoor Sports next door. There's a ton of family fun and activities on Topsail Island included a Sea Turtle Rescue Hospital to tour, museum, putt putt, ice cream, several piers, roller skating, bingo, discovering islands in the ICW, etc. Come and enjoy "So Much Fun!" at Topsail Island NC!

Release of liability: we go to great lengths to ensure your stay is enjoyable and safe.

Fantastic

We had such a great winter weekend! It was rainy and windy one day but the house was warm and cozy. It was very clean and fresh feeling. We braved the weather and went out in the canoe and had a great time.We love the ocean and the Intercoastal, this property has both. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Great location, views, and amenities

We loved our stay here. The views of the salt marshes are incredible, it’s quiet, near the beach, and comes with fun amenities like kayaks and bikes. It’s also walking or biking distance to town. Overall a great place.

Really nice property and great owner

We loved our stay. Owner was very responsive in reservation process. House was everything we wanted- clean with all the amenities. The owners go out of their way to make the stay comfortable and it is evident the care and thought they have taken to make sure our stay went well. My favorite part was the back deck overlooking the intercostal. Definitely will look to stay here again!

Turtle vacation

We have stayed at So Much Fun last year and enjoyed location, lay out, and cleanliness. We have returned this year to find our little slice of heaven again. We really didn’t want to leave- we saw a turtle nest hatch- a bucket list item!!! SO AMAZING!!! We cannot wait to come back next year.

So Much Fun!

So Much Fun is our favorite place to stay on Topsail, by far. The condo is spacious, comfortable and spotless. We spent the morning paddle boarding and kayaking right off the dock behind the house, and in the afternoon took an easy five minute walk to the beach. Mark is a great host. He responds right away to any questions and makes the reservation, check in and check out process super easy. We hope to visit again next year.

We enjoyed our stay in Surf City at this location. The place was very clean and we were able to walk to the beach and various dining locations!

Great Place w/ Gorgeous Sunsets!

So Much Fun is a great place. The location is close enough to walk to the beach (and restaurants and stores) and right on the water for kayaking and viewing the beautiful sunsets. We loved watching the herons in the water. We had 2 adults and 4 teens and had plenty of space. Having 3 full baths was really nice. My only complaint is that the mattress in the master is uncomfortable. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

Superb Surf City Stay

So Much Fun was spacious, very clean, and extremely well stocked. The home had everything we needed! The decor was beach themed and very tasteful. We loved meandering through the beautiful tidal creek on the kayaks provided by the owner. The beach was a short 5 minute walk. Restaurants and shops are in walking distance. We enjoyed quiet mornings and breathtaking sunsets on the back porch. A great place to stay if you visiting Topsail Island!

Great House!

My 3 friends and I stayed here for 2 nights for a portion of our girls week together. The house was wonderful. Everything that we needed was provided. It's in a great location with the sound right off the back and the beach a five minute walk away. The only issue we had was the 2 twin beds in one of the bedrooms. They were so uncomfortable that one of us slept on the couch and the other put all mattress toppers that we could find on the other one. We worked it out and it was fine, but no one should have to sleep in those beds!!

Perfect!

This was by far one of the best trips we have ever taken to the beach! The home is beautiful. It’s laid out perfectly for families and it was spotless. The owner is very responsive and provides many amenities like bikes, a canoe, paddle boards, etc. It’s a short walk to the beach too so there’s no need to drive to the beach. He also provides a beach cart which made bringing all of our stuff to the beach a breeze. The island itself is beautiful with lots of places to eat and many dining and shopping options within walking distance and many more just a couple of miles away. The home is also outfitted with high speed internet and multiple tv’s with Roku which came in handy on the one night we had rain. We’d recommend this property to anyone!!! Absolutely beautiful.

Gorgeous Marsh view and awesome amenities

The house was nice and clean upon arrival. Digital lock makes check in and out super easy. The view is GORGEOUS! If you don’t want to splurge on an ocean view, this is an affordable option to still get a stunning getaway feeling. Plus—we found it even more stunning than beachfront! The rooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. Myself, my partner, and my mom took the kayaks out on the inter coastal waterway—so fun! The rental had everything we needed. Bikes were a fun addition to go to the pier and grab lunch. Covered car port is nice cause the car was never hot when we left. The welcome book was extensive and gave us lots of great ideas for activities. The patios were the perfect spot to have coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. Great, easy location to get to restaurant and shops of surf city. A stunning getaway and I would rent again! The hosts are kind and thorough!

About the host

Hosted by mark hubbard

Host profile image
One day my wife Kim came home from a trip to Florida and said "Mark, I think I want a beach home." So, being the smart man I am, we cashed in part of our retirement account and bought a beach home! Kim loves the beach and I love kayaking on the sound (Intracoastal Waterway) so we bought this beautiful home with a 5 minute walk to the beach and about 40 feet out our back door to kayaking in the sound. Our first day we kayaked 15 minutes to Hardees for a milkshake. And yes, you can also kayak a few minutes more to a nice seafood restaurant (Sears Landing). And of course you can enjoy the beaches of Topsail Island. Come check out "So Much Fun!" Also check out our other vrbo mountain house vacation rental in Linville Land Harbor NC at vrbo 795627. thanks, Mark

Why they chose this property

Check out the pictures! TripAdvisor ranked Surf City on Topsail Island number 5 out of the top 20 affordable beach destinations across the US. USA Today ranked Topsail one of top 10 uncrowded beaches! Topsail is a wonderful family beach with quaint towns, shops, and restaurants - and great outdoor activities including swimming, biking, kayaking, surfing, SUP paddle boarding, fishing, crabbing, jet skiing, mini golf, roller skating, walks/jogs on the beach, birding, etc. 10 minute walk/bike ride/kayak! to town, no need for car after you arrive! The beaches are beautiful near the home - but also explore the beaches at the south and north end of Topsail Island (take a stroll). There's a well regarded Sea Turtle Rescue Hospital you can tour. In other words, lots to do!

What makes this property unique

Beauty, history, and fun! Right on the intracoastal waterway! Great views and sunsets! Community dock on sound. 5 minute walk to beach. Bike or kayak to town. Great view of the "old swing bridge" from the home. Can get by without driving your car if you like.
