House was even nicer than advertised. Lots of bright natural light coming into the house with beautiful sunset views over the sound off the back porches. Porch furniture was very comfortable with a nice table & chairs on the lower deck and two tall Adirondack chairs on the upper deck. We didn't experience any bugs during our time on the deck in July.
Kitchen was well stocked for our needs and k-cup coffee maker worked great. We had takeout a few nights and bought a Topsail Steamer bucket one night and was able to cook/eat without any issues.
House was very clean with zero trace of dogs visiting with other guests. Gravel driveway was large and easily fit our 3 vehicles (& would have fit more if needed). Neighborhood was a nice getaway where you couldn't hear any of the main road traffic...yet it was still just a 5 minute walk to the beach (directly opposite the neighborhood entrance).
Owner was responsive to our questions during both the booking process and leading up to and through our vacation week.

This was our first trip to Surf City and we will definitely return. We loved staying at Dockside Dreamin! The house was very clean and nicely updated. The location was great. It is in a quiet neighborhood that has a wooded path leading to the beach. The intercoastsl views off the two decks of the house were incredible. Great for enjoying our morning coffee and cocktails at sunset!

We were a group of 5 adults and 2 dogs, and this house far exceeded our needs and expectations. The pictures perfectly depict what you get! Everything was great, from the small fenced in area (so convenient for the pups), kitchenware, incredible views, location, etc. Communication with Bridget was easy and prompt. We had an issue using the oven/stove so unfortunately, we weren't able to use it the way we wanted to - but Bridget did her best to try to resolve the issue and was sincerely apologetic. Main floor showers didn't drain well, but I'm sure they will fix that for the next guests. All in all, this was absolutely a 5* getaway and a wonderful way to ring in my 40th birthday with my husband, sisters, friend and furbabes. Hoping to make it back soon - thank you so much for having us!

Scott & Bridget are fantastic hosts! This house is in a quiet, tree-filled neighborhood on Topsail Island with a gorgeous view of the Intercoastal Waterway and a short walk to the beach. It was very clean and well-equipped, and truly felt like a home away from home. Scott & Bridget were friendly and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We very much look forward to returning! This was our first time using VRBO and they certainly have set the bar high!

Great time at this Surf City Sound Side House!
We spent a week around Memorial Day with my in-laws, my 14 year-old and 2 of his friends. The place is very spacious and we made great use of the 2 living rooms. Downstairs was the adult oasis while upstairs was used as the gaming space. There was plenty of kitchen utensils and the place was very clean and furniture comfy. We also really liked the enclosed grassy area for our pup. The views over the sound were glorious and the walk the beach was easy. We also loved how convenient this place was to downtown Surf City for groceries, restaurants, and shops. We'd stay here again.

Great house in a private neighborhood
Perfect 2 week stay. Short walk to beach. Our own dock for crabbing and fishing. The house was perfect for us: young family with 2 grandchildren on main floor and grandparents upstairs with master bedroom and separate den. Kitchen provided all we needed and multiple decks gave us amazing sunset views.
Thanks!!!

We loved this beautiful home with its lovely intercoastal waterway and sunset views! The home was charmingly-decorated, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked. The fenced yard was easily accessible for our pups. The owners were easy to communicate with, gracious and very thoughtful. We only wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return for a longer stay in the future.

Great Stay in Surf City
We loved our stay in Surf City! We were four adults, five kids, and two pups and we all had ample room to hang comfortably! House was as described, clean, well equipped, and in the perfect location for our crew. We paddle boarded from the property and played yard games in the backyard. We would definitely come back!

Dreamy week
Dockside Dreaming was the perfect spot for our family to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The sound views were spectacular from the decks and the walk to the beach was short and pleasant. The beach was not very crowded since there is no public access parking close by. The house was well-equipped and we loved having the crab pots and kayaks and bikes to use. We hope to come back one day!

Great house for laid-back beach trips
It was so easy to walk from the house to the beach, with the beach cart provided. The house was gorgeous. With it being on the sound side, away from the main beach traffic, it was a great place to just relax. Would definitely come back.

Happy Anniversary to Us!❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property with us. That view is just what we needed and the proximity to the beach was perfect with the foot shower at the end of the street! We would love to return again someday.

Solitude on Topsail Island
We loved this house! It is situated on a cove off the intracoastal waterway and it was peaceful and very private. We prefer the intracoastal side because of the solitude and the fact that the wind isn't constantly buffeting you, which is an important consideration in March. The house was immaculate and well-appointed. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen was there. We liked the fact that we brought our own linens, which is a better deal with you're a party of two. The beach was a short walk away, as promised. We used the kayaks and went out for a short paddle. You can peacefully paddle through the marshes, avoiding the traffic of the intracoastal. Overall, A++. We hope to be back soon.

Very nice and updated property. Nice private community off the busy road yet close to the Beach. Liked the open space and views, mix use of antiques throughout the house, and easy to use TV and WIFI. Would recommend and stay again.

From the cleanliness, to the decor, to the beautiful views of the sound, we could not have asked for a better place to spend a peaceful week. Our dogs enjoyed the walks as well as the fenced yard for quick bathroom breaks. We will definitely keep this on our list of “go-to” spots to stay.

Booked this as a last minute getaway for New Year's. Was not disappointed. The house was very comfortable and we loved taking the kayaks out. The beach was close and there are plenty of supplies that help with packing less. Will probably stay here again!CB
