Peaceful utopia
This home should be a Vrbo commercial. Where to begin? Private beach? The peaceful sound of the waves day and night? The warmth of the sunrise entering two bedrooms as you watch the dolphins frolic from your bed or sitting on the second floor deck just outside those rooms? A few days before our arrival I was contacted by our host giving me all the information needed for entry. She also gave us instructions of what was available in the enclosed two car garage which had everything imaginable for beach recreation. As you enter the home you come into the kitchen/dining room area. The kitchen has anything you can think of to accommodate your cooking needs. The cleaning supplies are in the closet that holds the washer and dryer, along with a multitude of boards games. The dining table is big enough for 8 by a large window giving you the ability to see the ocean. Walking pass that you come into the living room which has a love seat and a large couch so you could watch the 70+ inch TV. To the left is the first, of 5 bedrooms, floor bedroom and bathroom. The room has access to the bathroom and is very good size. To the right of the living room is a large sliding door taking you the main floor deck. The deck has plenty of seating and a table to have your lunch, dinner or drinks. From the deck you could go down the stairs directly to the beach. You are about 15 stairs from your private beach access. When you come back up to the house one can use the shower to clean off and the towels are set up by the sliding door. The second floor access is between the kitchen and the living room. When you go up the stairs you are greeted by 2 bedrooms that are divided by a bathroom. Each of these rooms has a very comfy large bed with a sliding door that leads to a second deck with more comfortable chairs in order to take it all in. If one comes up the stairs and turn the corner to the left or right you will enter either a bedroom with bunk beds sharing a Jack and jill bathroom to another room with two single beds. This home is amazing. I will guarantee beautiful memories will be made. Our host was readily available for our questions answering within a few minutes. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend staying here. I will humbly volunteer to be in the commercial for this home.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Kegley

Host profile image
We are the original owners of this oceanfront home, and we have watched our children grow up here. We take great joy in knowing that the Pelican Palace has become the home away from home for many of our guests. Many of Pelican Palace family have been with us for over 5 years.

Why they chose this property

Our family began vacationing on Topsail Island in 1989. We loved it's quiet uncrowded beaches and treasured our times there with friends and family. We found that Surf City, on the Island of Topsail, was the perfect location for our family retreats/vacations. Unlike other Atlantic beach towns, Topsail is quiet and unassuming, it's residents are gracious and friendly. You can't top its 26 miles of pristine sandy beaches. With that in mind, we decided to make Surf City our home away from home. With our years of rental experiences we are passionate about making the Pelican Palace not just a rental property, but a home. We chose our exact location-just 1.5 miles from the center of town- because it was convenient and yet far enough away to be private and quiet. Oceanfront was a must so we could enjoy the Spectacular Ocean Views year round!

What makes this property unique

The Pelican Palace, in Surf City, is in the center of Topsail Island, This provides it with the most convenient access to the heart of town as well as off-island shopping and activities. We are only 1 1/2 miles south of the town center with it's shopping and dining. We love to take walks to the pier in the evening, or ride our bikes down to the Quarter Moon Bookstore for coffee and a cinnamon bun in the morning. The loggerhead turtle has become a family mascot and we have been blessed with witnessing a nest being made as well as several hatchings. It is awe inspiring to see hundreds of little turtles swarm to the sea. We have enjoyed watching Surf City grow while it still maintains its quiet southern charm.

From sunrise to sunset your days will be filled with joy, relaxation and fun.

We hope you take the opportunity to share some of these special times with your family and friends at the Pelican Palace.
