About the property

The Wheelhouse is a brand new 2 story 4 Bed/3.5 Bath home with beautiful beach views and quick access to the beach. Designed and furnished for comfort with over 2000 sq ft of tranquility. Start the day enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch watching the waves roll in, walk across the street for private beach access to spend the day with your toes in the sand and finish up enjoying dinner at the table that can seat all 10 guests. Located 3 minutes from central Surf City for dining and shopping.

When you pull up to The Wheelhouse you will be greeted by a nice flat, partially paved parking area that can fit up to 6 vehicles. Like most beach properties, the house is on stilts so you will climb the stairs to Floor 1 entrance.

From the driveway, if you turn towards the beach, directly across the road from you is the private beach access for the neighborhood. It is a very quick walk to get your toes in the sand!

Floor 1:
You will find the king-bed master with ensuite double vanity with walk in shower bath, as well as access to the porch. Also on Floor 1 are two additional queen-bed bedrooms with a shared ensuite jack and jill bath; the bath has a water closet with a shower/tub combo and toilet allowing for privacy while sinks are in use. You will also find the laundry room with full size washer and dryer on this level.

Floor 2:
One of our absolute favorite features of the house, is the Floor 2 Porch that allows you watch the waves roll in on the private beach across the street. The layout of this house specifically put the living room and open kitchen on this floor to capitalize on the long range ocean view. The living room has a large sectional perfect for a group movie night. The eat-in kitchen bar and open dining area allows for everyone to be engaged and part of the fun. The luxury kitchen boast of beautiful stainless steel appliances and all the tools you will need to host a family style dinner. Eating together is a priority for us, so we ensured the table could accommodate all of the guest. We also have a drip and k-cup coffee machine so you can enjoy that morning cup on the porch. The 4th queen bedroom and ensuite bathroom is located on this floor as well as a half bath.

To help you and your group enjoy the fun of the beach, we provide chairs as well as beach towels for guest, and an enclosed outdoor shower for easy washing.

We are just a very short drive (or bike ride!) from the central amenities and restaurants of Surf City.

Guest will have exclusive access to the entire house. Guest will also be able to use the private neighborhood beach walk across the street to access the beach.

Please reach out to us through the platform with any questions or concerns.

Located in Surf City, a charming beach town on Topsail Island. A barrier island known for its pristine beaches where you can sunbathe, swim, and surf.

You can explore the island and surrounding areas by car with public parking generally available at most attractions. The island is also bike and walking friendly. You can also rent golf carts, bikes, jet-skis, kayaks and paddle boards for a more adventurous mode of transportation!

We had a wonderful time at the Wheelhouse. The house was exactly as pictured. There was plenty of room for everyone. The open kitchen and living room with views of the ocean was amazing. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower was a plus for getting off all the sand from the beach. We highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great week!

This house and host sets the standard for Airbnb. James was professional, helpful, quick to respond. The house was beautiful, well maintained, clean and had so many thoughtful touches. Location was amazing - gorgeous views of the ocean and the access was directly across the street. Highly recommend!
