Close to surfing, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Surf City Beach and Topsail Skating Rink Topsail Beach are just a short walk away, so leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking.

This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, and air conditioning. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the TV. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
