Close to surfing, fishing, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 6-minute walk to Surf City Beach, or easily tackle the quick 3-minute drive to Topsail Skating Rink Topsail Beach.

This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the TV; there's also a DVD player. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave and cookware. And you can even travel light because you'll have a dryer.
