Other Details to Note

We can’t wait to come back to this house again. You are able to walk over to the beach or restaurants right down the street. The outdoor seating and hot tub are amazing and a great get away.

Our family just spent a week in Beth's adorable home in Surf City. I was a little concerned that we were staying a couple of blocks back from the beach, but it literally took no more than 2 minutes to walk to the beach. In addition, the house is ideally situated within Surf City and is walking distance to many great restaurants plus the pier. Publix is a very short drive across the bridge, too. The home itself is very comfortable; my family enjoyed the hot tub. Outdoor shower has soap, shampoo & conditioner! The beds were comfortable. While it is a smaller house (ideal for 1 family IMO), there is lots of outdoor space for hanging. The kitchen is well stocked and has a massive selection of spices for those who like to cook but don't necessarily want to pack their pantry. Just a reminder that this house does not come with beach chairs or umbrellas. We rented ours from Topsail Beach Service. We recommend Beth's home and plan to come back next year!

Had a fantastic stay to celebrate our anniversary! This is a fantastic location, just steps from the beach, can walk/bike to restaurants and shops. The outdoor area was great and we enjoyed the hot tub. Highly recommend. Will definitely stay here again.

My brothers and I enjoyed a 3-night stay at this charming bungalow. Its just steps from a beach access and it's very walkable to the pier, bridge, and surrounding restaurants and activities. The interior of the house is very cute and the accommodations were great all around. We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much

We loved our stay here! The house was walkable to plenty of restaurants and most importantly, walkable to the best beach access point. My friends and I will be back!

We had an absolutely amazing visit and stay at Beth’s surf cottage! We were in town for a family reunion, and we were in a prime location. Close to the beach, close to shops/restaurants, and plenty of parking. Beth was SO sweet, proactive in her messaging and very responsive. We are in Surf City regularly and we will definitely be staying with Beth the next time we visit! 10/10 highly recommend! ⭐️

We had a fantastic stay. We were close to the beach access and an easy walk to restaurants and the Surf City pier. Close enough to walk, but far enough to be quiet. The cottage is so cute!! Hope to stay again.
