Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Surf City

A great, quiet place to stay when visiting Surf City. Very short drive to anything you’d need. Everyone loved the house and the views - highly recommend.

Would definitely stay here again! The location exceeded our expectations- just steps from the beach, we didn’t even need shoes! The views from our balcony were also amazing. Very spacious inside, with more than enough beds for our family of four.

We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront home in Surf City! You truly can’t beat the location — just steps from the beach with direct access right off the back deck. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise was a highlight each morning. The house was comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. Plenty of space for the family, and easy access to town for restaurants and shops. Communication with the host was excellent — responsive and helpful throughout.

We had a great week at the Topsail Gem! We loved our time on the beach, sitting on the relaxing porches, and making memories with our family. We look forward to returning!

Such a beautiful place, the vibes are awesome. Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone, within 6 minutes of the beach. Very friendly host, very responsive as well

Dune it right was AMAZING! My wife and I had a fantastic weekend. House was just footsteps away from the beach! Everything was extremely clean. The host Carrie was awesome and very responsive. Would recommend a stay here to anyone! Thanks Carrie! Can’t wait to come back and stay longer.

If you are looking for a private and peaceful location for a small family, this is it! The house was exactly as described and you cannot get any closer to the beach! It was perfect for us and our son because it was so close that taking breaks was a breeze. We like to do a mix of cooking and eating out. The kitchen was fully stocked and the location was within 7 miles of some really awesome restaurants and ice cream parlors. We found so many sea shells and it was so peaceful and quiet. Like they say, it is not close to public access and is on a dead end street so we never had to worry about being overcrowded. It was like having the beach to yourself with the exception of the few families whose houses were by you. Both the other properties were far enough away so you aren’t stacked on top of each other. We will definitely stay again and recommend this home to anyone. George and Brenda were great! If you want to be on the beach and have a relaxing location, look no further! This is it!

I had a wonderful stay at Nick’s place! The home was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The fact that was within walking distance to the beach made the stay even better. Nick was kind and responsive. Check-in was smooth, and everything was clearly communicated. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Perfect place to stay in downtown Wilmington! Minutes to the riverwalk amongst beautiful historic homes. Our stay was quiet and we had plenty of space and everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

Great location and vibes, definite recommendation for anyone looking to explore the beach area!

Sara’s place was amazing, the view of the river and water street from the balcony was incredible, the location can’t be beat for exploring downtown Wilmington, the river walk is only a few steps away from your front door, you have all the best restaurants and coffee shops and bars in downtown Wilmington within a few blocks of you, I took the riverwalk all the way to the concert I went to at live oak and really enjoyed the whole experience. Not to mention the unit itself was very well put together and super nice and my significant other really loved the interior design aspects. It made it tough for us to leave and go out and explore downtown because we wanted to enjoy the unit, so we were torn lol. Everything was great the location is tucked away on the river but still in the heart of the hustle and bustle. The only small issue we had was parking, even with the parking pass we had trouble finding parking all the lots were full both days we were there, so you may end up having to pay for

My husband and I enjoyed spending the weekend here for a wedding! The apartment is beautifully situated over the water with an amazing view. Right near the apartment is a local place to get drinks. The apartment is walking distance to everything, but also far enough where we didn’t hear a lot of noise. Aubrey was very responsive and gave explicit directions. It was helpful to have the parking garage which wasn’t far away at all! We also appreciated the “manual” with recommendations for local favorites including shopping and restaurants! The apartment was nicely decorated and clean. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you!

Had a lovely stay at The Loft! Laura & Grant were very communicative and gave easy checkin/checkout instructions. Cute and relaxing aesthetic, very clean. Loved that the beach access is just a quick 1 or 2 minute walk away. My daughter and I had a great girls trip and really enjoyed our time there!

Place was great! Cute and cozy with everything we could need. All instructions were clear, check in was a breeze. Very close to downtown and all the fun stuff! Home within a few minutes after the concert ended! Highly recommend this space☺️

We absolutely enjoyed every minute of our long weekend stay - the location was perfect, with restaurants, shopping and beach access within steps. Very convenient and felt safe to walk around with our son, both morning and at night. The dedicated parking spots, along with generous beach day and in-unit amenities were very much appreciated. The morning and evening views from the balcony were peaceful - by far one of our favorite long weekend memories as a family. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect beach trip location with responsive, welcoming hosts. We will be booking again!

What a beautiful gem! I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. We look forward to staying again!

Great little unit right on the beach. Perfect for two of us. AC was already turned on which was very much appreciated! Everything we needed was supplied: pots/pans, sheets, toilet paper/paper towels, water bottles in the fridge, beach chairs. Walmart wasn't far for anything else. Christine was a responsive host and we loved being guests at her place.

This was our third time staying here, and it never disappoints. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach—just a short walk and you're there! The space is cozy and welcoming, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. It's our favorite beach, and the kids absolutely love the pool. Always a relaxing, enjoyable stay—we'll definitely be back again!

We loved our stay at Daniel’s condo. The location was perfect, couple steps away from the beach and pool access. The condo itself was spacious for our family of 5 with renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Daniel was a great host that was always responsive and even came and brought us extra towels when we needed them which we greatly appreciated. Loved our stay here and would definitely book again when we are back in Surf City!

Beautiful beach front property! The condo was extremely clean and had a gorgeous view. Only a few steps until the ocean! Harmony had the condo fully stocked with all of the necessities, such as beach towels, beach chairs, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. Also, Harmony was extremely responsive and was great to communicate with. The outdoor patio area that overlooked the ocean was a big plus. I would definitely stay here again!

We had the most incredible stay at this stunning beachfront Airbnb in North Topsail Beach! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and sipping coffee on the private deck as the sun rose over the water felt like a dream. The apartment itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated, with a cozy coastal vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the living space was ideal for relaxing after a day in the sun.

Alyssa’s place provided everything you could think of! The place was perfect for my new family of 3! We really enjoyed the resort-like vibes.

Was our first time at Topsail and Gina made everything so easy! Was very quick to respond to every message I sent and super nice! Place was so cute and clean and just as described and we loved it!! Wish we coulda stayed longer!! We will absolutely be back!!!!

Had read reviews about the high tide and although it came up to the stairs it wasn’t a problem at all. Great location… nice and quiet. The bed was super comfortable. It rained the whole time we were there so we stayed in the majority of our stay. Not much to do on the island when it’s rainy but still a good getaway.
