About this property

"Surfin Turtle" Dog Friendly, Home w/ Elevator near Beach - Topsail Island

Beauty and elegance define "Surfin' Turtle," a gorgeous beach house in Topsail Island located in walking distance to a public beach access and large enough to accommodate your entire group. From the expansive front porch to the elevator, you will not find a more beautiful, affordable vacation than this. Located close to downtown Surf City, "Surfin' Turtle" towers over the houses separating it from the beach, providing stunning ocean views. The convenience of ample parking underneath this home and a private, indoor elevator provides easy accessibility to all floors. 

Entering the home on the first-floor deck brings you into a contemporary designed home with a long hallway servicing all four first floor bedrooms. Bedroom one is located to your left with a queen bed, television and even views of the ocean from bed! Bedroom two is equipped with a large flat screen television and queen bed. A shared bath separates these two sleeping quarters. Continuing clockwise in the floor plan takes you to bedroom three with a twin bed and a twin/dounble bunk bed. This bedroom also has a television. Bedroom four, located on the oceanfront side, contains a king bed, ocean views and a large flat screen television. Bedroom three and four share an additional bathroom. 

Take the stairs or the indoor elevator up to the second floor where you will find an open concept plan, greeting you into the large, well-stocked kitchen. You'll surely have plenty of room to prepare your meals at this beach beauty! A half bath sits to the rear of the home beside the elevator. Bedroom five, a large master bedroom, is also located inconspicuously at the top of the stairs to the right. A large king bed, TV and an over-sized bath, fit for royalty, round out the master bedroom, giving 'Surfin' Turtle' a total of five bedrooms. Off the master bedroom is a private deck, allowing for stunning sunset views over the sound.

Continue through the kitchen into the large dining area, taking in grand views of the ocean while you dine! The dining room, kitchen and living room all have an open arrangement, taking full advantage of the thoughtful layout. Cathedral ceilings and ocean views will undoubtedly give you a vacation to remember. If the inside of "Surfin' Turtle" wasn't enough, try relaxing on one of two oceanside decks where you can hear the waves crash on the beach and see the dolphins play in the surf. Ample deck furniture provides plenty of seating for the entire group and a completely covered deck gives shelter for those trying to escape the heat of a sunny summer day.

Beach access for "Surfin' Turtle" is only a short walk away. The shopping, dining and entertainment that Surf City provides is also close by. Truly a unique home, "Surfin' Turtle" will not disappoint. It is hard to find a home this large, this close to the beach and best of all, at a bargain rate!

TOPSAIL ISLAND GENERAL INFO-
WiFi: WiFi signal strength is NOT guaranteed at your rental for remote work or remote learning. We are located on a barrier island and do not have cellular towers on the island. This, coupled with the increase of guests in our area, creates an inconsistent cellular signal that is outside of our control and therefore, compensation is NOT given.   

Beach Nourishment: Beach nourishment projects help preserve and protect Topsail Island’s shoreline. Most projects are scheduled annually between November and April and may involve large pipes on the beach, trucks moving sand, and other equipment to rebuild and maintain our dunes. Timelines and locations can shift without notice, and we are not always informed in advance. While we understand this may impact your beach experience, refunds or compensation will not be provided for disruptions related to beach nourishment. For the latest updates, we recommend checking the town websites for Topsail Beach, Surf City, or North Topsail Beach. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about potential beach impacts during your stay.

Water Pressure Notice: Please be aware that during popular rental dates, especially in the mornings and evenings, there may be temporary reductions in water pressure. This is a common occurrence across the island as many visitors are getting ready for the day or returning from the beach. We recommend planning showers and other water-related activities accordingly to avoid inconvenience.

Public Parking: The Town of Surf City enforces “Pay to Park” from March 1-Oct 31 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm in the Surf City Public Beach Access Parking Lots and other marked Public Parking Lots. The Town of North Topsail Beach will enforce “Pay to Park” from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM year-round. Onslow County operates three public parking areas/beach accesses within the Town of North Topsail Beach. To the best of our knowledge the county intends to continue operating these lots free of charge.

Leave No Trace: Topsail Island enforces a "Leave No Trace" policy in order to protect our shoreline, meaning you must remove all items, including tents and chairs, from the beach each day. Any items left behind are subject to theft, removal by the town, or possibility of being washed away by the ocean.

Turtle Nesting Season: From May to October, Topsail Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles. Be mindful of marked nests, limit oceanside deck lights, and follow local guidelines to protect them.

Good layout and beach access. Minor maintenance items.

The location and property were very good. Some minor maintenance problems like burned out lightbulbs, not clean behind beds, alarm clock not working, silverware not totally clean, some drawers dirty and miscellaneous stains detracted from the overall appeal.

Allison Wonderland

We only stayed for the weekend, but the house was awesome! We will definitely try to get this house again next time! Very spacious and clean. Well stocked with dishes and silverware! Easy to reserve. Most important was the elevator with my elderly mother and sick wife, it made the vacation most enjoyable!!

Thanksgiving and granddaughter's second birthday

The house was perfect for our family as we celebrated Thanksgiving together. It is well stocked with plenty of cooking items that we needed. It was very spacious and a fun place to relax. Top Sail is a fun island to visit. I would highly recommend this house for family get togethers.

Fun times

I have booked Allison Wonderland three times and will definitely use it again and again. The layout is perfect for my family. The cottage was clean and the views were awesome! Sitting on the deck in the mornings and late afternoons were the best! I would have liked to have had a little better mattress but it wasn't too bad. Everyone else was comfortable so maybe it was just me. Our family loves this place and had a very blessed trip full of fun memories! Thanks to the owner of this cottage for opening it up for families to enjoy!

Lovely home

Allison wonderland is a lovely home, well laid out and less than 300 steps to the beach. Other positives: -Kitchen was well stocked -Refrigerator has ice and water dispenser (and water did not taste icky like water at the beach usually does) -Furnishings and bathrooms were nice -TV's in every bedroom + den. -Listing photos give good representation of house. (Unfortunately the pic that says 'ocean view' has a house being built in the vacant lot which will obstruct the view somewhat) -Nice washer/dryer. -Overall well maintained home. -Location within Topsail was convenient and a nice part of Topsail. -We really liked the beach and appreciated that it was not crowded at all. -Sitting out on the upper deck was very pleasant and shaded all day. -Jack and Jill bathrooms are very spacious. Room for improvement: -When we arrived the house had not been cleaned from the previous occupant, but a phone call had a cleaning crew there within 30 minutes. -TV remote has 50+ buttons. Hitting a wrong one can foul everything up (which happened to us 3 times) -Master bed squeaked annoyingly every time my husband turned over preventing a good night's sleep. Suggestion: If you plan to do a lot of eating at the house, go online to HarrisTeeter.com and pre-order groceries. You can then drive thru and pick them up avoiding the hassle and wasted time of wandering around in an unfamiliar store. Cost is $4.95 or free if you are a first-time user. Store is minutes from Access Realty and the house.
