Surfin' Turtle

Beauty and elegance define "Surfin' Turtle," a gorgeous beach house in Topsail Island located in walking distance to a public beach access and large enough to accommodate your entire group. From the expansive front porch to the elevator, you will not find a more beautiful, affordable vacation than this. Located close to downtown Surf City, "Surfin' Turtle" towers over the houses separating it from the beach, providing stunning ocean views. The convenience of ample parking underneath this home and a private, indoor elevator provides easy accessibility to all floors. 

Entering the home on the first-floor deck brings you into a contemporary designed home with a long hallway servicing all four first floor bedrooms. Bedroom one is located to your left with a queen bed, television and even views of the ocean from bed! Bedroom two is equipped with a large flat screen television and queen bed. A shared bath separates these two sleeping quarters. Continuing clockwise in the floor plan takes you to bedroom three with a twin bed and a twin/dounble bunk bed. This bedroom also has a television. Bedroom four, located on the oceanfront side, contains a king bed, ocean views and a large flat screen television. Bedroom three and four share an additional bathroom. 

Take the stairs or the indoor elevator up to the second floor where you will find an open concept plan, greeting you into the large, well-stocked kitchen. You'll surely have plenty of room to prepare your meals at this beach beauty! A half bath sits to the rear of the home beside the elevator. Bedroom five, a large master bedroom, is also located inconspicuously at the top of the stairs to the right. A large king bed, TV and an over-sized bath, fit for royalty, round out the master bedroom, giving 'Surfin' Turtle' a total of five bedrooms. Off the master bedroom is a private deck, allowing for stunning sunset views over the sound.

Continue through the kitchen into the large dining area, taking in grand views of the ocean while you dine! The dining room, kitchen and living room all have an open arrangement, taking full advantage of the thoughtful layout. Cathedral ceilings and ocean views will undoubtedly give you a vacation to remember. If the inside of "Surfin' Turtle" wasn't enough, try relaxing on one of two oceanside decks where you can hear the waves crash on the beach and see the dolphins play in the surf. Ample deck furniture provides plenty of seating for the entire group and a completely covered deck gives shelter for those trying to escape the heat of a sunny summer day.

Beach access for "Surfin' Turtle" is only a short walk away. The shopping, dining and entertainment that Surf City provides is also close by. Truly a unique home, "Surfin' Turtle" will not disappoint. It is hard to find a home this large, this close to the beach and best of all, at a bargain rate!

TOPSAIL ISLAND GENERAL INFO-
WiFi: WiFi signal strength is NOT guaranteed at your rental for remote work or remote learning. We are located on a barrier island and do not have cellular towers on the island. This, coupled with the increase of guests in our area, creates an inconsistent cellular signal that is outside of our control and therefore, compensation is NOT given.   

Beach Nourishment: Beach nourishment projects help preserve and protect Topsail Island’s shoreline. Most projects are scheduled annually between November and April and may involve large pipes on the beach, trucks moving sand, and other equipment to rebuild and maintain our dunes. Timelines and locations can shift without notice, and we are not always informed in advance. While we understand this may impact your beach experience, refunds or compensation will not be provided for disruptions related to beach nourishment. For the latest updates, we recommend checking the town websites for Topsail Beach, Surf City, or North Topsail Beach. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about potential beach impacts during your stay.

Water Pressure Notice: Please be aware that during popular rental dates, especially in the mornings and evenings, there may be temporary reductions in water pressure. This is a common occurrence across the island as many visitors are getting ready for the day or returning from the beach. We recommend planning showers and other water-related activities accordingly to avoid inconvenience.

Public Parking: The Town of Surf City enforces “Pay to Park” from March 1-Oct 31 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm in the Surf City Public Beach Access Parking Lots and other marked Public Parking Lots. The Town of North Topsail Beach will enforce “Pay to Park” from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM year-round. Onslow County operates three public parking areas/beach accesses within the Town of North Topsail Beach. To the best of our knowledge the county intends to continue operating these lots free of charge.

Leave No Trace: Topsail Island enforces a "Leave No Trace" policy in order to protect our shoreline, meaning you must remove all items, including tents and chairs, from the beach each day. Any items left behind are subject to theft, removal by the town, or possibility of being washed away by the ocean.

Turtle Nesting Season: From May to October, Topsail Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles. Be mindful of marked nests, limit oceanside deck lights, and follow local guidelines to protect them.
