5 Bedroom House in Surf City

Welcome to The Seldom Thing (named for an Irish saying, “The Seldom Thing is Wonderful”- which reminds us to value what is rare in life)!
Our spacious single-family home with 5 bedrooms/4 full baths provides stunning unobstructed water views from sun-up to relaxing sunsets over the Sound.
Look for dolphins, birds, shrimp boats, surfers, and beautiful sunrises from the home's three unobstructed ocean view decks, enjoy gorgeous sunsets on the two Sound-side decks, or relax and BBQ on the huge ground level deck. Located on Topsail Island with a quiet, peaceful stretch of the beach with deeded direct beach access 2 doors down, the home also offers a semi-private pier on the Sound at the end of our block for launching paddle boards, small watercrafts, or kayaks. Complimentary two single kayaks with carry carts, beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys.
The home also provides a convenient elevator at all levels perfect for multi-generational families, or those looking for an easier way to bring in luggage and groceries.
We are located approximately 2.5 miles to the center of either Surf City and Topsail Beach restaurants and activities.

Summary: This was a great house in the perfect location! It is close to town, but far enough away that the beach is not crowded, and also in a narrow window where there is no beachfront house blocking your view. Nice big gathering area for the whole family to eat meals and play games. Sunrises from the front deck and sunsets from the back deck. And Kevin is a very attentive and friendly host.
