Description Description

A personal waterpark in Surf City? Yes!  Welcome to South Shore Sea Esta where the fun never ends... where you can enjoy your own private waterpark with heated* swimming pool with a waterslide and a kiddie pool!  The chances are slim, but if you get tired of the endless fun in the backyard, you can catch a wave in the ocean since it is only steps away. In the mornings, enjoy your coffee and a stunning sunrise from the oceanview sundeck. In the evenings you can dine al fresco with a spectacular sunset on the soundside sundeck. If you manage to make it inside this 5 bedroom home, there is a fully equipped kitchen to help you feed a crowd. The open living room gives way to amazing views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Topsail Sound. And don't forget to head downstairs to a cozy den with a foosball table and TV.  South Shore Sea Esta has everything you and your family will need for a fantastic vacation on Topsail.

Great rental
This was a great rental with good location, clean, stocked kitchen, good views, easy access to beach. Pool was refreshing despite the stormy weather a few days. Lots of porches to relax on. House showed some signs of wear but overall well taken care of. Outdoor tables needed some cleaning. Our dogs enjoyed the backyard and porches! Only suggestions would be new screen doors and some clean up and landscaping in the back, new umbrella stands and pool furniture. Plenty of beach gear for your convenience. Overall we had good time. Ward Realty was very communicative and we appreciate that.

We had the best vacation ever. Dining out was not a great experience but it did not ruin our week.

Loved the property and would definitely stay there again! Ward Realty was nice to work with as well. The check-in/check-out process was easy, the text message and email reminders during our stay were helpful, and anytime I called with a question, the person I spoke with was helpful and polite. We loved our stay in Surf City and will be back again!
