Wonder the Sea:Sweeping Intracoastal Views, Walk to Beach, Hot Tub, Pets Welcome

Relax, refresh and reconnect with gorgeous intracoastal views and a fully stocked home thoughtfully designed to provide an unforgettable getaway by the sea. Spend lazy days unwinding on the beach (a 2-minute walk), or on the water with the provided tandem kayak and stand-up paddle boards, rinse off in the outdoor shower before spending your night soaking in the picture-perfect sunset over the intracoastal from the upper deck hot tub. Wonder the Sea is a newly remodeled beach home featuring all the amenities you need for a laid back (and fun!) getaway any time of year. Enjoy coffee in the screen room, a pre-dinner cocktail on the deck with friends, family dinners in the indoor or outdoor eating areas and evenings by the gas firepit or indoor fireplace. Bring your pup and let them roam the fully fenced yard.

Wonder the Sea is centrally located in Surf City on Topsail Island, near restaurants and shops (a 15-minute walk, or 2-minute drive), an easy 400 feet stroll (a two-minute walk) to the public beach access, and has gorgeous views of the intracoastal waterways. It's the perfect place for a relaxing getaway in the sun! We pride ourselves on providing our guests with a well-maintained home featuring thoughtfully designed spaces and amenities to help you make the most of your getaway!

The Space
Pet-friendly, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for a beach holiday - including linens, bath and beach towels, two-person kayak, boogie boards, stand up paddle boards, coolers, beach toys, chairs and umbrellas – Wonder the Sea features 3 bedrooms with memory foam beds (in all but the top bunk) and 2.5 bathrooms, with a fully stocked kitchen, outdoor shower, propane grill (propane included!), hot tub, Bluetooth speaker, Wifi, Smart TV, indoor electric fireplace plus outdoor gas firepit, and games! Both the main living area and bedroom floors feature beautiful intracoastal views where you can sip your favorite beverage while watching the boats and birds cruise by.

The house is a two-minute walk from the beach and a 15-minute walk (or two-minute drive) to Soundside Park for launching our kayak or stand-up paddle boards (use of these items is included), and where most of the island’s frequent events happen so you can enjoy a night out without worrying about driving home! We are also a one-minute walk from Kenneth D. Batts Family Park where you can fish, walk along the pier for an unforgettable sunset over the intracoastal or use the picnic tables, basketball court, and playground equipment.

You have full and private access to the entire home, property, and amenities.
