Description Description

Beach Barn Lower – Relax and unwind in this renovated three‑bedroom, two‑bath first‑floor oceanfront duplex with some of the best views on the beach. Located within easy walking distance to downtown Surf City’s restaurants, shops, and pier, this spot puts you right in the heart of everything while still feeling wonderfully relaxed.

Wake up to front‑row sunrise views over the Atlantic and enjoy the cheerful, cozy interior filled with natural light from the large oceanfront windows. The open kitchen, living, and dining areas create an inviting space to gather, with a nicely sized kitchen equipped for quick meals and a comfortably furnished living room featuring a large flat‑screen TV.

One of the standout features of this oceanfront unit is the deck with a built‑in counter and matching bar stools—the perfect place for morning coffee, afternoon snacks, or a breezy sunset drink. A direct walkway to the beach, shared with the upper unit, makes it effortless to go from deck to sand in seconds.

Beach Barn Lower is one of the best places to stay if you want to be right on the ocean and in the mix of all Surf City has to offer.

Need more room?  Beach Barn, which includes the Upper unit too, is great for family gatherings.

Property is very nice and convenient. This was our second time staying in the lower part. We love the oceanfront deck, especially the counter and stools, for enjoying morning coffee. The remodeling with a master bedroom is a great improvement. Would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

1st time at Topsail Island & this will be my new go to vacation spot. And I will use Ward Realty every time I come back!

Excellent property and location. Really enjoyed our stay. Plan to return to Surf City and will stay with Ward Realty again. Great that the property was pet friendly. Only suggestion is to have chairs on porch. Rocking chairs would be great. Current furniture is not very comfortable to sit down and simply watch the waves.
Tracy from Durham, NC - Posted: 6/3/2018
Great suggestion about the deck furniture. We will pass this along to the homeowner. We hope you spent a lot of time on the brand new decks!
