Steps to the Beach and Downtown Surf City!

Park your car for the week! Two beach accesses are offered just across the street & house is located in prime location with short walk to restaurants, shopping, the Pier - everything in downtown Surf City!!!

RECENTLY RENOVATED TOP FLOOR

This beach home has a reverse floor plan with the kitchen and living on the upper floor, and incredible ocean views. It is the perfect landing for 2 families with great sleeping options for 10 people with 3 full bathrooms, a half bath on the upper floor + an outdoor private shower. It is located approximately 0.5 miles south of the Surf City high-rise bridge on upscale “South Shore Drive” which puts you within walking distance to lots of restaurants, groceries, shops, Surf City Pier and more! South Shore Drive is a 25 mph, oceanfront beach road that is only local traffic. It is the perfect place for an exercise run, bike ride or family walk. You can literally put your keys away for the week. We strive to make the house appealing to families with amenities like bicycles, beach chairs, propane gas grill, baby gate, and pack & play.

After you spend a day at the beach you can relax on the two ocean facing decks with direct views of the water. The back yard has space to enjoy a game of corn hole, and a picnic table is provided for lunch or cocktails when a break from the sun is needed.

Both ocean facing decks offer outdoor furniture which is an ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon/evening cocktails. The newly renovated top floor features an open concept living area which includes the kitchen, ½ bath, gaming area (for puzzles and reading) dining room, wet bar, one master suite and full bath with walk-in shower. The kitchen features quartz counter tops, expanded pantry space, and is well stocked so you can prepare anything from a large breakfast to family dinners and steamer pots. The large dining room table comfortably accommodates 8 guests plus 4 bar stools at the peninsula counter. The living area features a large sectional with chaise to gather for relaxation watching the large 60" TV. The second floor is complete with 4 bedrooms including a second master with on suite and walk-in shower, a single Queen room, and two rooms with twin beds - all bedrooms feature their own TV! The kids will love the "old school" gaming table featuring 60 of your arcade favorite such as Pac Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga. Separating the bedrooms is 1 full bathroom with double sink vanities, a tub/shower combo and a laundry room with washer, dryer, and ironing board.

Best in class
Incredible property with owners who couldn't be more accommodating and attentive. This was the 3rd year for our crew of 2 families of 5 staying at this property. You can't beat the location across from the beach and easy walking distance into town (especially Shaka Taco and Sea Blue Ice Cream!). The house is in great shape and has all the amenties you need. And if there happen to be any challenges in the home (we've only has 1 in 3 years), the owners are on top of it immediately! Highly, highly recommend!

Loved Loggerhead Landing!
We had a great vacation at Loggerhead Landing in Surf City, NC. Our hosts were lovely and communicated well. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and has everything you might need. Appreciated being close to the beach and had an ocean view from the top deck. There is an easy check in process, private outside shower, bikes, beach chairs, grill, sand toys for kids. It's a short walk to town to pick up something at the mart, get coffee and donuts, ice cream, etc. The Surf City Pier is close for walking or fishing. The kids enjoyed visiting the Touch Tank Aquarium, Sea Turtle Hospital, and nearby Soundside Park. Thank you, Jill and Joe!

Perfect beach house
Our family had a wonderful time at Loggerhead Landing beach house.The location is so convenient to everything and the house was ideal. The grandkids especially loved the video game table, and the adults relaxed with books, puzzles and movies. Daily walks on the beach and over the bridge we’re glorious.

Best beach view and beach access for 2nd row house. House is beautiful. They do control the A/C at 72 degrees but dropped it to 70 per our request. Plenty of ceiling fans. Outdoor grill could be updated. They also had fragrant oils in the house that was a bit strong when first arriving.

Oceanfront Oasis
Our family was returning to Topsail after 5 years away, our first time staying at this property. The property was picturesque, felt straight out of a magazine, and the bedroom locations and setup were absolutely perfect for our family. We felt close to the beach and everything in town, but also felt as though in our own little oasis, able to relax and unwind in the house, too. I intend to book this property for our next trip to Topsail. Jill and Joe were so wonderful to work with, and the property really checks all the boxes.
