Great house.

The house was close enough to the beach for an easy walk. But not on the beach which with toddlers was not a bad thing. It was also very well appointed. We didn’t have to shop for some basics as they were provided.

Best location!

This was a great vacation. All aspects of it. The location is fantastic when walking to the beach. It’s pretty much in your front yard. It was super clean, and this is a huge factor for myself and my family. They take pride in their property and it truly shows. The pool was wonderful. The crazy thing is that we didn’t notice many private pools in the area, so this was a great find. This house totally deserves its high ratings!! We will definitely be back!

Perfect for our group with young kids

The property was so nice! It was clean, well furnished, well equipped, modern, and comfortable. The pool was awesome, and the house was so close to the beach, it was easy to go back and forth whenever we felt like it, even with little kids. We also loved that the deck/porch spaces were in good condition with built-in, latching gates, so we had a safe outdoor space for the youngest kids to run around. We'll definitely be back!

Beachy week

This beach property met all of our seaside needs. The property was well-appointed and was in a great location on the island, close to morning breakfast, iced coffee, and evening ice cream. The beds were comfortable and the home was sparkling clean upon our arrival. It was a very hot and humid week, and the home was a cool respite from the outdoors. The front porch was also a welcome shady spot to read and relax in the afternoon. It was a very short walk to the beach, in fact it was close enough that we did not need to use the beach cart. The lights in the pool at night were a fun surprise for the children. The washer, dryer, and extra (huge) refrigerator in the downstairs storage area really made our week easy. Thanks for a great week!

Great escape to the beach

The place has a great setup with 4 bedrooms and the living area in between. The centerpiece has to be the pool which provided days of fun for our kids and family. The other thing this place has is, Shade. After hours at the beach you want to be able to relax by the pool but also get some shade. It has a nice area that is shaded as well as two big porches that provides tons of shade and plenty of seating options. Last but not least, they have a nice cart to help get your herd down to the beach without braking your back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This property was “far and away” beyond what was expected. There wasn’t a single thing that we needed that wasn’t provide. The kitchen contents included all of the necessities as well as spices, cookbooks, & sharp knives…a rarity in our beach rentals in the past. Stepping out the door and across the street to the private access with no car or parking involved was a luxury. The pool was such a special amenity in a very well landscaped setting. The owner’s have done everything possible to ensure you will have a wonderful week, and my family certainly did.

Beautiful house, w/gorgeous pool and outdoor oasis

The house was amazing! Clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. Love the original beach cottage vibe, perfectly updated with every amenity, beautiful finishes and art. We had a great stay with family and loved hanging out by the pool. The outdoor area was really lovely and had plenty of sun and shade. Bedrooms were spacious and airy with comfy beds and linens. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need and appliances were clean and new. My nephews got plenty of use out of the bikes and the property is in a great location close to town, shops, food and the pier. The owners incredibly nice and super responsive. We will absolutely book this house again!!

Wonderful Way to Experience Topsail Island

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our month-stay in this lovely updated beach cottage. While the beautifully landscaped (and heated!) pool is the highlight, we also enjoyed the short walk to an uncrowded beach (and marsh, offering great sunset views on a long boardwalk), a large and comfy front porch, a welcoming great room with lots of daylight, and ideal location on a quiet street convenient to Surf City’s fine selection of locally owned restaurants. Tay and Becky are terrific hosts, prompting responding to our questions and requests.

Great Long Weekend!

Our family loved this beach house! It was a perfect location with a beach access across the road in the heart of surf city! The house is so cute! It is painted and furnished so well and the porches are just awesome! Our family loved the pool area which was perfect for a lazy hot day! It was perfect for our family of 8 to hang out and sleep comfortably! We could walk to plenty of eating places too!! We would rent this house again and again!

As Advertised

The house and property were as advertised. We really enjoyed our stay at this address in Surf City. Very close proximity to the beach. Pool area is fantastic! Overall excellent feeling and energy at this place. Everything was very satisfactory with just one exception. One of the bathroom showers is extremely small. This would most likely not present a problem if a family with children rented here. However, with the six adults we had, all of us used the one larger shower/tub.

Cozy Cottage on South Shore Drive

We’ve been coming to North Carolina beaches for over 20 years now and I have to say this rental is one of the nicest and cleanest places we have stayed. Have already been discussing coming back again next year! Thank you Tay and Becky for your attention to details and quick response to our questions!

Paradise in Topsail

This is a beautiful and thoughtfully restored beach house in a quiet part of Topsail. The house is well suited for families, with lots of indoor and outdoor seating and dining spaces, and lockable gates on the pool and stairs kept my toddler nephew safe. The pool area is fabulous - I don’t think we can go pool-less at the beach again - it was a really wonderful way to end the day. What truly sets this property apart, though, are the owners. We rent several vacation properties a year and I don’t think I’ve ever had owners as responsive and invested in your vacation as Tay was. He was quick to respond to our questions when we checked in but the real difference was after we lost power during a very severe lightning storm early in our stay. We lost internet and the pool pump when the power came back on. Tay was out at the house once it stopped raining and worked tirelessly to make sure that we had minimal impacts on our stay, checking in on things multiple times. Having him local was HUGE during this one in a million situation. We would definitely book again!

Great Vacation Spot!

The property was exactly what we needed for a week vacation at the beach. The front and back porch really made the house feel spacious. The owners had thought of everything--grill, bikes, kitchen amenities. The best part for us was the the house was virtually baby-proof with all the living space on one floor and gates installed on front and back porches. The pool was also just perfect too!

Cozy beach stay

Recently stayed at this property for a week - the views were great and the home had such a cozy feel. Loved the private pool, the close proximity to the beach access, and the amenities (especially the beach chairs and grill!). We were only minutes away from anything we needed (groceries, restaurants, etc.). One of the bathrooms was out of commission for a few days of our stay, and the owners were communicative with regards to the issue and even sent us a partial refund without us asking. Overall a lovely home for a small group.

We had a great time at the property! The layout is perfect for hanging out during the day and privacy when it’s time to sleep. We liked that the house was stocked with basics. We really enjoyed the pool when we were tired from the ocean. We also loved the front and back porches and that they are covered so we could sit outside during the few brief rainstorms we had. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely book again if we choose Topsail again.

About the host

Hosted by Tay Filer

Host profile image
Becky & Tay have been locals on the island as a couple since the early 1990's. Tay spent his summers across the street in an oceanfront house. We know the island very well and have chosen our properties to provide the utmost in relaxation and fun!

Why they chose this property

This property is special to us for many reasons. Originally the house was an oceanfront cottage that was a few lots to the South of our family's summer home. Back in the early 1970s the housing density was much less and we remember it as being one of the few houses on South Shore Drive. When it was moved to it's current location in 1987, it was placed on an extra large corner lot. Combine the large lot with private beach access directly across the street and we couldn't pass this up. Nearly 10 months of renovations and a lot of blood, sweat and tears have made this a house we dearly love and know you will, too!

What makes this property unique

South Shore drive is known by bikers, joggers, and walkers as the "Golden Mile" because of its boardwalk feel. It has less traffic than most roads on the island and is very close to the bridge and Surf City central.
