About this property
"Personal Resort": Private Pool, Hot Tub, Ocean Views, Elevator, Walk to Town
Welcome to Southern Comfort, one of Surf City's most distinctive family vacation homes.
Perfectly situated on prestigious South Shore Drive, this spacious coastal retreat offers the best of Topsail Island living—steps from the beach, walking distance to restaurants, shops, the Surf City Pier, and local attractions, yet just far enough from the center of town to enjoy a quieter, more relaxing beach experience.
Unlike many vacation rentals, Southern Comfort was originally built and enjoyed as a private family residence. Today, it continues to be thoughtfully maintained and continually upgraded, providing guests with a level of comfort, quality, and attention to detail that is immediately noticeable upon arrival.
Your Own Private Outdoor Retreat:
One of the home's most unique features is its private backyard oasis—a rare amenity this close to the ocean.
Enjoy:
• Private swimming pool • Hot tub • Tropical landscaping with mature palms • Outdoor entertaining bar • Outdoor dining areas • Spacious fenced yard • Outdoor shower • Multiple areas to relax in the sun or shade
After a day at the beach, gather poolside for dinner, enjoy evening cocktails under the palms, or unwind with a soak beneath the stars.
Views From Every Direction:
Perched on one of the highest elevations in Surf City, Southern Comfort offers remarkable views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the town itself.
Five expansive decks provide countless opportunities to enjoy sunrise coffee, afternoon sea breezes, and spectacular evening sunsets. With views from nearly every room, guests never feel far from the water.
Designed for Large Families and Gatherings:
Southern Comfort comfortably accommodates large family groups and multiple generations traveling together.
Highlights include:
• Multiple king bedrooms • Spacious common areas • Separate upper and lower living rooms • Elevator access to multiple levels • Large dining areas • Flexible sleeping arrangements for children, teens, and adults
The dual living spaces allow everyone to spread out comfortably while still enjoying time together under one roof.

The gourmet kitchen is well equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to holiday dinners and family celebrations.
Guests also enjoy:
• High-speed Wi-Fi • Smart TVs throughout the home • Washer and dryer • Elevator • Gas and charcoal grills • Extensive outdoor seating • Ample parking
Whether you're planning a week-long family vacation, reunion, milestone celebration, or holiday getaway, the home is designed to make large-group travel easy and comfortable.
Walk to the Best of Surf City:
Leave the car parked and explore Surf City on foot.
Within walking distance you'll find:
• Public beach accesses • Surf City Pier • Restaurants and waterfront dining • Ice cream shops • Coffee shops • Boutique shopping • Bicycle, paddleboard, and beach equipment rentals • Soundside Park and community events
South Shore Drive is one of Surf City's most desirable locations, known for its relaxed atmosphere, scenic surroundings, and easy access to everything the island has to offer.
Why Guests Return to Southern Comfort:
✔ Private Pool & Hot Tub ✔ Elevator ✔ Five Large Decks ✔ Ocean, Sound & Town Views ✔ Walking Distance to Surf City Attractions ✔ Steps to Beach Access ✔ Large Private Yard ✔ Two Separate Living Areas ✔ Ideal for Multi-Generational Families ✔ Continuously Updated and Maintained ✔ One of Surf City's Premier Locations
For families seeking space, comfort, convenience, and a true Topsail Island experience, Southern Comfort delivers a vacation that feels less like a rental home and more like your own private coastal retreat.
