    What's special

    This stunning 2024-built 8-bedroom, 5-bathroom beach home sits in a prime second-row location in Surf City, with public beach access just steps away. Fully furnished and immediately rental-ready, the property offers approximately 4,400 square feet of modern coastal luxury that comfortably sleeps 24 guests. Thoughtfully designed for high-performing short-term rentals, it features a private elevator, multiple expansive Trex decks including a brand-new ground-floor deck with hot tub and stairs added in March 2026, energy-efficient Bosch 18 SEER app-controlled zoned HVAC, two 50-gallon water heaters, and a spacious primary suite with luxury finishes. Unfinished top-floor rooms provide sweeping ocean and sound views, presenting excellent potential for future expansion or an entertainment area to boost rental income even further. Already professionally managed by Carolina Retreats with existing 2026 summer bookings secured, this turnkey property is located in Flood Zone X -- eliminating the need for flood insurance. Built with durable Hardie board siding for low maintenance and boasting a large backyard ideal for a future pool, this exceptional Surf City beach house delivers proven rental performance and strong investment potential in one of Surf City's most desirable coastal locations.
