"Wish it had white sheets and the room seemed a little dirty. Amazing area sooo close to the beach in a non crowded spot. Convince store near by and a few restaurants within a 10 minute walk. A long walk to the pier but a short uber to get there. Pool was also a nice area to hang out at night."

Sand Sational! Oceanfront 4-BR house in Surf City/Topsail Island, Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent
"This site exceeded our expectations on all levels. Walking from the upper deck of the property to the high tide waterline in 100 steps was an awesome advantage while traveling with a 3 year old. Also greatly appreciated the gates for the stairs!!Already checking our calendars for a 2027 return to Sandsational"
