Located in one of Surf City's most desirable areas, this fully furnished 4-bedroom, 3-bath beach home offers the perfect blend of comfort, views, and convenience. Just across the street from two public beach accesses — one with a ramp for easy access.
Wake up to ocean views from the private balcony in the primary suite, located on the first floor alongside two additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Upstairs, you'll find the fourth bedroom, full bath and another balcony, perfect for watching sunsets. The open-concept kitchen, dining and living area has ocean views with direct access to the upper balcony.
A new fortified roof was installed in 2025, and two HVAC units were replaced in 2020 (downstairs) and 2022 (upstairs). The home also features an outdoor shower, a spacious storage area on the ground level, and two driveways — one in front and one in back — for plenty of parking.
Centrally located only half a mile to the Surf City pier, and walking distance to local restaurants, shopping, and more. This property is ideal as a vacation home, rental investment, or full-time coastal retreat.
