Recent Surf City guest reviews

View, windows on ocean side, spacious kitchen and master bath
William S. | Mar 2025
This is our 3rd time staying at this home in the Topsail and Surf City area. The house had a few updates done from when we stayed last year. The master bathroom was fully renovated and some of the decks look new as well. It looks like the owner is making improvements each year which we appreciate. The house is right on the beach and in a great quiet location. There was plenty of room for my large family and there was lots of room for parking. We are looking forward to coming back in 2026.
