Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway!

The very first thing you’ll notice is the cleanliness. Every thing sparkling clean, and smelling wonderful. Even though this rental is pet friendly, you would never know it. The best beach rental in the Topsail Island/Surf City area, with great ocean views, and the perfect location. Everything you need to have a memorable stay is here! Loved the well stocked and very organized kitchen. Labels make it easy to grab whatever you need, without searching, and pantry comes complete with all the various small appliances you will need. The thing we loved most was our wonderful host Katie. Friendly and a great communicator, she was there to answer all questions, and made us feel right at home. We are penciled in for next Thanksgiving! #ClockingOut ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Clean, affordable & close to the beach

My family and I have never stayed at this location before, but we couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. The host is very attentive and happy to assist in any way. We normally try to find something on the beach, but this place is super close to beach access and the location is great. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you Katie!

Our stay wasn’t long enough!!

This property was way more than we needed it had four bedrooms, but it allowed my son and his wife to bring their dog. The beach access is a short walk through the backyard. There was storage filled with everything you will need for the beach! Actually we needed for nothing but our food, it was nice to have a kitchen filled with good cookware, and appliances! The Host Katie was quick to reply to any questions we had . She even left us a welcome package and fresh bouquet which we appreciated, thank you! Would we stay again? YES I wish we didn’t have to leave!!

Perfect family beach house!

Highly recommended! Great location with a very short walk to the beach. The house has a great layout with plenty of room and spaces for everyone to relax. Outdoor spaces were great as well whether it be the front or back deck or under the house. The house was equipped with anything you need for a stay at the beach with family. If your a family that likes to cook, the kitchen has anything and everything you would need. A great time was had by all!

Clean, comfortable, and super close to the beach!

This house met all of our needs for the wee and more. The owner was wonderful to work with. She was very quick to respond and truly thinks of all of the small details. The house was clean when we arrived. It was so nice having linens provided! In addition, they have all of your beach needs covered- from chairs to boogie boards, etc. The outdoor shower was great! The guys found it was easier to shower outside to cut down on time after a long day at the beach. We loved having coffee on the back deck every morning - there was always a great breeze! The beach access does have stairs for those who have elderly travelers or those with specific needs. All of the beds were comfortable! In addition, the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed! The living room shelves were stocked with books and games. Great location - would definitely recommend!

Great location and beautiful renovated

Sitting on the porch you can see and hear the ocean. The beach access is very close and the beach is wide. Great boogie boarding during high tide and love the sandbar at low tide. We were impressed with how well the house was stocked with all the extra things you need like beach chairs, umbrella, toys, boards, soaps, plastic wrap etc. Every bed & furniture was comfortable. We had a few questions and the owner was incredibly fast and helpful. The house is in a great location, close to shopping and food. Definitely try out Shaka Taco and Topsail Steamer! This was a great fit for our 2 families of 4 (8 total people). Thank you!

Extremely Pleased

We enjoyed a delightful stay at “Clocked Out”.There was plenty of space for all to relax comfortably.The location was great with a very short walk and easy access to the beach and a nice view of the ocean from the back porch and bedroom.Our sweet doggies are family and were so happy to stay with us! …a deciding factor for booking for us. The outdoor shower with hot water was definitely a plus. The cleaning crew could have been a bit more thorough, but nothing we couldn’t remedy fairly quickly ourselves. A mirror in each of the middle bedrooms would be nice. We will definitely consider coming back and highly recommend it.

A house built for relaxation

Our vacation wouldn't have been complete without having a beautiful house to stay in near the beach, and we were not disappointed. Amazing countertops, spacious rooms, quiet and friendly neighbors, and a washer/dryer made everything feel perfect. The fishing poles and boogey boards in the storage room was the icing on the cake. We will definitely try to rebook this house again. Thank you to our hosts!!

Cozy Beach House

Waking up to sound of the ocean, seeing the Sun rise from the Atlantic is how each day was for us. Close enough for us to have our Marine son stay with us during his liberty, yet far enough to give him rest from the post. A well laid out house with access to the beach, restaurants, and stores.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Kosnar

Host profile image
Before finding Clocking Out, we had been renting in Surf City and Topsail for over 10 years. Every year, my PA family would join our NC family to take a break from real life and enjoy the salt air. We would “clock out” from work and head to the shore for a week of boogie boarding, trying to surf and shore fishing. Because we’ve seen just about every example of a rental property at the beach, it is important for us to give guests everything they’ll need for a great stay. We have filled our home with everything we need for a great family beach vacation, girls weekend or golfing trip with the guys, Convenience of location, thoughtful design of space/amenities and cleanliness are important to us. We hope you will love being here as much as we do. We are so happy to share our home with you!

Why they chose this property

This home has so much character and the perfect spaces to spread out. The waves are awesome for boogie boarding. When you're on the beach, you can see the pier to the south and all the way to the tip of North Topsail to the North. Surf City restaurants are delicious and there is a huge variety to chose from. Being able to see the ocean, hear the waves and watch the dolphins from the back deck are some of our favorite things.

What makes this property unique

Ocean views, open spaces and lots of sleeping options make this house perfect for vacations. You can walk to restaurants and bars, rent bikes and explore the island. The tall bridge has amazing views and a pedestrian walkway. The Topsail market is a great place to enjoy local artisans and treats. And don't forget about the turtles. We've been lucky to watch a new nest get eggs counted and protected. The Turtle Hospital and Missiles and More Museum are a definite must see.
