Nestled in Surf City, this lovely house for $287 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Wide-open ocean views and sea breezes will make you fall in love with this authentic ranch-style beach home. “M & M Sandcastle” is a beautifully decorated beach home that provides plenty of space and tons of privacy to allow you to have a wonderful place to spend your vacation! This oceanfront home has amazing views of Topsail Beach with the beach and ocean just off the deck. Sit on the beach, sit on the marvelous deck; with lots of sunny and shaded areas, or take in the crashing waves. This home is located in the low-traffic area of Topsail Island which affords you peace and quiet in a tranquil setting while being just minutes from shopping, golf, casual and gourmet dining. Additionally, you are within walking distance of the Surf City Pier. The deck has lots of shaded and sunny areas across the complete ocean-side of the house and an extra-large sunny area above the dunes. There is also built-in seating on the steps that give you a place to sit and watch the sunrise or a romantic night watching the moonlight glimmer on the ocean. Also on the deck for you is a convenient hot/cold outdoor shower, after playing at the beach, and an outdoor sink to wash the treasures you find on the beach. If you are an active family or a laid-back retired couple, you will love the views from the four large picture windows facing the beautiful ocean. The home features an open living area with very comfortable couches and recliners to relax in. The extremely well-equipped kitchen with granite countertops makes meals a breeze. The dining area seats 15 with table and island bar seating. Both allow you to eat and dolphin watching at the same time. The five bedrooms comfortably sleep fifteen; Oceanfront King master suite, Oceanfront Queen size bedroom, Full/Twin Bunk & Twin bedroom, and additional two bedrooms on the entry-level; one Queen bedroom and other with Full/Twin bunk and second Twin bunk beds. On the Main Level, the Great-room area has 2 large leather couches, 2 recliners, 55" HD TV with DVR, and blue ray. (I know who needs TVs, with the ocean just outside the door) The DVR is a nice treat you won’t find in most rentals. Record your favorite shows or pause live TV so that you can enjoy your vacation on your time, and not miss any of your favorite shows or sports events. You can also maximize your vacation time by recording your favorite shows and being able to fast-forward through the commercials. This gives you more beach time with your family (usually cutting 15-20 minutes out of a 1 hr. show). The High-speed Wi-Fi Wireless Internet and unlimited long distance are available at no cost to our guests. Also on the Main Level, there are 3 bedrooms/ 2 baths. Bedrooms: 1) King Master ocean-front bedroom has a king-size bed, a picture window facing the ocean, 42” Smart/HD TV, a private bath, walk-in closet. This makes the king's master bedroom its own private getaway. 2) Queen ocean-front with a queen-size bed, 32” Smart/HD TV. 3) Full/Twin bunk-bed and twin bed, 32” Smart/HD TV, and a blue ray. On the Entry-level Great-room has 2 couches with dual recliners in both, 48” Smart/HD TV, Blue Ray, Wii-game system, game playing table, large coffee-table with floor pillows and bean bags to sit on around to pay games, 2nd full-size refrigerator with ice maker, lots of games and puzzles. Bedrooms: 1) Queen-size bed, 39” Smart/HD TV. 2) Full bunk-bed and a twin bunk-bed, Pack N Play, and its own 39” Smart/HD TV. There is an additional full bath on this level for these two bedrooms. THE HARDEST THING IS DECIDING WHAT TO DO NEXT! There are boats/wave runners/paddle-boards/surfboards/ bikes/kayaking on the sound/parasailing/windsurfing and all your beach equipment needs available at many rental locations on the island. Located within a few miles from the house there are fishing, golf, shopping, several casual and fine dining, local bars for some great frozen drinks, and ice cream shops (for the kid in us all). The paved shoulder pathway on the main road makes jogging or biking more enjoyable as well as safe. The pathway runs the entire way from north to south of the Island (about 22 miles long). If fishing is your interest, you can surf fish or make arrangements with a fishing charter to test your skills. Did I mention the island is known for the shark’s teeth? I am always looking for that big one!! Enjoy watching the sunrise from the deck and soaking up all that the beach has to offer. There is no need to ever leave the property! You are away from the hustle and bustle of overcrowded beaches with all of the high-rise hotels, but yet still close enough to enjoy a big city. Wilmington is 35 minutes away and offers many fine restaurants, numerous upscale and discount shops, parks, and an international airport (ILM). You are sure to enjoy your stay at this first-class, affordable, vacation home. You are renting directly from the owner, not a rental agency. We are very committed to you and want to make sure you have the best vacation experience. When your vacation ends, we hope you say to yourself “we have found a place worthy of our business and want to come back next year”. We want you to return as our guest in the future. Towels and linens can be rented at Seaside Linen & Rental, TI Rentals, Sweat Dreams Linens, or feel free to bring your own. Parking is ample and easy to access. ********************************************************* Ask about our 2nd NEW OCEANFRONT RANCH 4 Bedroom/ 3 bath will sleep 10 - M&M Beach Oasis just a few houses up the beach! **********************************************************
