Perfect Beach Rental with private heated pool and close beach access. 🤩

When you find a house that's carefully cleaned, conveniently located and considerately appointed, then your vacation is destined to be a great one! ShoreBreak is exactly that. We aim to make life easy so you can just pack a bag, grab some groceries and everything else will take care of itself.

We opened this house as a rental in August 2020 and we have consistently worked to make this house a place where it's easy to relax and enjoy Topsail Island. ShoreBreak is a traditional H-plan house with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a central living/dining area. All of the rooms are on one floor for convenience and safety if you're worried about stairs. ShoreBreak has a pleasant screened porch that faces the ocean with an outside living and dining area, perfect for rainy days or a place to cool off from the sun. The back deck is a terrific place to look out over the new backyard pool. Our backyard is equipped with a wonderful 5 ft deep pool with a huge tanning ledge, a gas grill, picnic table and lounge chairs.

What about the beach? It's across the street! There's a well-built public access across the street. There is no public parking at Access 25 so you don't have to worry about crowds of people. You'll just see your neighbors nearby, which makes it a great place to have plenty of room on the beach with all of your family and friends.

ShoreBreak is located about 1 mile south of Surf City Pier, the general area of shops, restaurants, parks, and other activites. It's very convenient. This area is a great place to walk, run, bike and look for adventure. There are plenty of places to explore (like the pier) or to relax (at a restaurant, bar or coffee shop with live music and refreshments).

We want you and your family/friends to come to ShoreBreak and relax. Find some time to play a game or read a book. Enjoy the outdoors when you swim in the pool or find shells and sharks teeth on the beach. Grill dinner by the pool or enjoy a breeze on the screened porch. We provide a lot of amenities to make your vacation simple. And if you're planning on a day on the beach, we provide a beach wagon, chairs, buckets, and boogie boards for your convenience.

What is an H-style house? Well, it's a common house plan that was used on Topsail Island when civilians started building more vacation homes. (You'll have to look up Operation Bumblebee and find out the history of Topsail.) On the north side of the house, there is a bedroom with a king bed and a bedroom with a queen bed and a bathroom in between. On the south side of the house, there is a bedroom with a queen bed and a bedroom with a bunk bed (twin over double, over twin trundle) and a bathroom in between.

We provide: bed sheets, bath towels, beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, cooking basics, some cleaning supplies, and a first-aid kit.

During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Surf City Beach. An outdoor pool and laundry facilities are available. The holiday home offers a private pool and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned home with private pool, kitchen and washing machine
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool

Perfect Beach Trip

This was the perfect Beach rental for our family. We loved all the amenities included with the house. The beds were really comfortable. Our kids took advantage of the pool every day we were there. Beach access was really close to the house. We were able to bike to the heart of surf city. The screened in porch was also really nice. I highly recommend this place.

A wonderful time in Surf City! The house was clean, ready for us, and instructions were clear. They had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay, including a wagon to transport 'beach-things' to the beach, beach chairs, floaties... The pool was a perfect add to our beach stay. We really couldn't ask for more. We'll be back!

Amazing stay in Topsail

We had an amazing vacation this week. This home is perfect - there were 9 of us in total with a range of ages (kids aged 4 - 14). We were all able to stay and sleep here comfortably. The house was spotless and it had everything! And I mean everything! Laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper and all the kitchen necessities you needed to cook at home. The bed were very comfortable. The owners were responsive and kind. We would highly recommended this place to stay and honestly cannot wait to go back. The area was beautiful- beaches were amazing and plenty of places to eat and entertain you.

The house was in a great location - across the street from beach access, with a heated pool for when you’re not in the mood for salt and sand. There are lots of great food options nearby for cooking or eating out. We had a great time!

Annual Family Vacation

Our annual family vacation has traditionally taken place at one of Mark and Trudy’s beach homes. Over the years we have built traditions and made memories in Surf City and their homes. We recommend anyone who wants a small home for their family, with close beach access, a pool and a personal touch from Mark and Trudy.

Perfect family destination

We had an awesome time on our annual family getaway. Our group consisted of adults and young children. This was our first time staying here, but hopefully not our last. The house is exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. Super convenient to the public beach access & private pool- what else do you need?! The pool/beach/outdoor toys were a fun bonus that the whole family enjoyed. It was so convenient to have extra chairs, floats, etc. The home owner had great communication and gave very clear instructions. I highly recommend staying here.

Loved our stay!

This place is very well appointed. Owners are easily obtainable but not overbearing. Loved the one floor plan and layout. The place would seem small based on the square footage but it totally worked for 8 adults and 2 children. Pool outside is awesome. Lots of equipment to be used. How well this is equipped made it easy for us since we had 2 couples flying in. Made it a lot less to pack.

Wonderful property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was better stocked than any other property we've stayed at over the years. There were so many things for the outdoors: bikes, tons of boogie boards, rafts for the pool, beach towels. Kitchen had everything we needed. It was especially nice that there was enough paper towels, toilet paper, kitchen soaps to last the week so that we didn't have to worry about it. The pool was very refreshing and there was plenty of seating. It was so nice being so close to the beach. We appreciate how clean the entire house was. The owners have thought of everything! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing week

This is our second time staying at Shorebreak, and we loved it! Easy walk to the beach across the street, and a beautiful, clean pool in the backyard for when you need a break from the ocean. The home itself is well appointed, very clean, and felt like home away from home! Very close to town as well. Highly recommend this home!

We had an amazing vacation celebrating a sweet 16 and family. The owner was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. I recommend this home highly. The living area was clean and they thought of everything from games to cooking needs. We enjoyed the pool , finding shark teeth, long walks and biking. The ping pong table was wonderful.

Trudy is an awesome host!

First thought is I would definitely recommend booking this house with Trudy, as it was perfect for us. We were looking for a typical beach vacation with a location that was almost beach front but also included a private pool. We had a family of two children and 4 adults stay for a week. The beach was less than a 2 minute walk from the house, as the access point was just across the street. The town activities like food, fun, shopping etc was either a 5 minute drive south or 5 minute drive north depending on where you wanted to go. The house itself was very accommodating and it was exactly as described. The check in process was easy and the checkout process was easy and the short list of 8-10 items was reasonable. All four of the bedrooms were nice as they had basic furnishings but still roomy enough for luggage, pack and play, etc. The living room/dining room/kitchen was nice because of the open concept and H style house setup. There was a screened in patio deck out front, and then an uncovered deck out back. The neighbors on both sides were around but no bother at all. Overall the house had mostly everything we needed to get going including most kitchen items for cooking a variety of meals at the house. For beach days, there were plenty of chairs, kids toys, boards, a wagon, etc. For the backyard pool there were also plenty of floating devices and toys. In house entertainment included smart TV's, puzzles, games, books, etc.

Wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. We loved the location. The beach access is very close by. We loved the pool and sitting on the screened in porch listening to the ocean waves. Our dogs had a great time too! The only downside is that the yard is not fully fenced along the thatch and trees. But, we were able to make it work so that our escape artist dog didn't get out. We highly recommended this vacation rental. We would love to come back again.
