Private Hot Tub | Steps to Beach | 3BR | Pet Friendly | Private Deck & Entrance | 4 Beach Chairs

The name says it all — and Below Deck delivers exactly what it promises.
Tucked beneath the upper level of a classic Surf City beach house, Below Deck is your own private world: separate entrance, private deck, and a brand new hot tub that's exclusively yours for the entirety of your stay. No sharing. No scheduling. Just you, the jets, and however many stars are out over Topsail Island that evening.

The beach is 0.1 miles away — a two-minute walk with four beach chairs already waiting for you to grab on the way out. The Surf City Pier is five minutes down the road. And when you come back sandy and sun-warmed, the hot tub is right there to finish the job properly.
Below Deck isn't trying to be the fanciest address on the island. It's trying to be the one you actually enjoy — comfortable, well-equipped, pet-friendly, and located where making a beach trip memorable feels effortless.

Care of the home:
Our team takes pride in keeping Below Deck spotless between every stay. Please skip the bleach — our cleaners handle that. No incense or essential oil diffusers; scents linger and some guests have sensitivities.
