    Sandy Bottoms | Family-Friendly Canal Home Just Steps from the Beach

    Bed Sizes: King (1), Queen (3), Full (3), Twin (2)

    Welcome to Sandy Bottoms, a charming family beach retreat located just a block and a half from the ocean in the heart of Surf City. Nestled along the canals, this spacious five-bedroom, three-bath home was designed with families in mind and offers plenty of room to gather, relax, and make lasting memories.

    Owned by a family of five, Sandy Bottoms earned its name from the little ones who spent their days running in from the beach with sandy feet and endless smiles. Today, the home continues to provide the perfect setting for families to enjoy everything Topsail Island has to offer.

    Inside, you'll find a bright and welcoming open-concept living space where the fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the main gathering area, making it easy for everyone to stay connected whether preparing meals, sharing stories from the beach, or enjoying a family game night. With five comfortable bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for families and groups to spread out while still enjoying quality time together.

    Step outside and enjoy the coastal lifestyle from the spacious front porch, complete with plenty of seating for morning coffee, afternoon conversations, or simply relaxing in the ocean breeze. The large backyard offers plenty of space for kids to run and play, while the shaded ground-level patio beneath the home features swinging benches and an outdoor countertop, creating the perfect spot to unwind after a day in the sun.

    Made for Families:
    Kids' bikes for exploring the neighborhood
    Large collection of toys, games, and family activities
    Pack-and-play available for younger guests
    Large backyard for running, playing, and outdoor games
    Five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, giving everyone room to spread out
    Extras for Everyone:
    Expansive front porch with plenty of seating
    Covered patio with swinging benches
    Dartboard for friendly competition
    Kayaks available for exploring the nearby canal and sound
    Bright, open living spaces designed for gathering and making memories
    Whether you're building sandcastles at the beach, paddling through the waterways, or spending evenings gathered on the porch with family and friends, Sandy Bottoms offers the comfort, space, and family-friendly atmosphere needed for an unforgettable Surf City getaway.

    Note from the owner: Sandy Bottoms has been a place for family memories for years, and we love welcoming guests who return time and time again, treating it as their own home away from home.

Great place with large group!

My friends and I LOVED staying here!! There was plenty of space and everything was clean. There were a lot of activities too in the garage that were fun to utilize. We experienced some rain during our stay but the house allowed us to still have fun!! I highly recommend going with this house if you have a large group!
