About this property

Top-Rated Beach Rental. Super clean & well-appointed. Private heated pool!

  • We all need something to look forward to ....
    SummerSalt is the perfect spot to have a Topsail Island vacation! We repeatedly have guests tell us and leave reviews saying that SummerSalt is "the cleanest VRBO house we have ever stayed in" and now we know our guests value that even more with COVID19.

    We have worked to make this home ready for your arrival with tasteful, clean decor and ample opportunities to do all of your favorite beach activities. Make memories while you enjoy the sun, swimming, surfing, search for shells, or just relax with your family and friends. SummerSalt offers views of the ocean with a quiet, convenient beach access just a few yards away.

    Start your day with your morning coffee on the large front deck as the sun rises over the ocean. Then walk to the beach for a day of collecting shells, jumping the waves and building your very own sand creation. Then return to SummerSalt for more outdoor pleasures by lounging in your private pool with a large tanning ledge. And don't miss your chance to shower outside in a private shower with the smell of salty air. There's an outdoor gas grill in the backyard for your cooking pleasure or you could pick up some yummy seafood from a local restaurant!

    SummerSalt has a fully-equipped kitchen, digital cable television, 4 flat screen televisions, high-speed wireless internet access, and many other amenities! SummerSalt is a family-friendly house with puzzles, cards, games and books available for all ages. We work to make sure you arrive with nothing to worry about. Linens are provided, beds are made, and we have some basic essentials in the cabinets so all you have to shop for is food and beverages. We take great pride in preparing the house for each guest so your arrival is abundantly pleasant and you can leave all your worries behind.

    For anyone not familiar with Topsail Island and Surf City, we'll be happy to answer any questions and help you find interesting things to do. It's a quaint little beach town with something for everyone. There are golf courses nearby, jet ski and boat rentals, opportunities to learn about marine life, fishing, equipment rentals (surfboards, bikes, kayaks), shopping, craft markets, worship services, exercise classes, and more.

    There's no better place to enjoy all these things than SummerSalt, where you have your own slice of heaven with everything you need. Contact us with any questions.

Wonderful Family Experience

The Surf City property was clean, family friendly, and amazing. The proximity to the beach access was convenient and the kids enjoyed a lowkey afternoon and evening swim in the pool after spending the day on the beach. The property owners were great to deal with and we have already booked our stay next year.

Reiter/Machamer Family Vacation July 2024

This was one of the best family vacations!! The house and the pool were absolutely wonderful and the short walk to the beach was also a plus! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again...hopefully next time with a couple grandchildren (we're still waiting for those little guys to make an appearance) The house is definitely set up with family and children. Great place to stay...thank you for sharing your house with us!!

July 2024 Visit

This is our second time staying here and we will continue to always stay here when visiting Topsail Island. The house is very close to the beach and walking distance to town. All six of us loved the backyard and pool. The house and outdoor beach closet is very well stocked. Trudy is very responsive and wonderful to rent from.

This was the second time we stayed here and again we are so happy we did! The house has everything you need including bunk beds witch my kids loved. The pool is amazing. The house is located very close to a beach access and close to the shops and restaurants but far enough away you don't have to deal with any noise from them. The owners are amazing and extremely nice and helpful with anything you need.

This rental was perfect for my cousin reunion! Spacious, clean, organized, and had all the amenities we needed - and was so close to the beach! The owner was very communicative and responsive. I will say the kitchen was on the smaller side, but if you're not planning on cooking/eating at home much, it's a good size. 10/10, would highly recommend if you're looking for a place to stay in Surf City, especially if you have a large group!
