Newly Renovated Beach Bungalow - 3 minute walk to the beach!

Welcome to The Coral Cottage! A 3 bedroom 2 bath classic beach cottage that has been lovingly restored. Relax and play with family/ friends. Enjoy sitting on the new front porch at night listening to the sounds of live music from a local bar. In the morning enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee on the back deck listening to the sound of the pounding surf and watching the sunrise over the ocean. Water views from the Owner's suite and back deck.

This home is conveniently located. Just a short 3 minute walk in either direction will bring you to public beach access. The Coral Cottage is within walking distance to a playground and convenience store as well. Less than 2 miles to the Pier and the heart of Surf City and all it has to offer.

The Coral Cottage has been recently renovated: new front deck & stairs, new outdoor shower, new paint, new LVP flooring, mattresses and bedding, new doors, toilets, vanities, etc. etc. This home is fully equipped to be your home away from home: bed linens and towels provided, outdoor shower, washer and dryer, well stocked kitchen, games, beach reads, and some beach supplies are also available.

Come visit us! We'd love to share our home with you!

Cheers!

Great Stay at The Coral Cottage

We had a great trip to Topsail Island & Surf City! The Coral Cottage was just the right size, easy walk to the beach, and had everything we needed. Our family really enjoyed our stay and we hope to visit again! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely beach house.

Memorial weekend stay

It was a lovely holiday weekend with family. The accommodation was very nice. There is a market and bar kitty corner to the house but the sounds not problematic for us. The beach is easily walkable and the front porch is nice for visitors. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to others

We'll Return!

This is a comfortable, updated home that's very close to the beach. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the live music from The Trailer Bar - close enough to hear but not overwhelmingly loud. The beds and sofa are comfy! The kitchen is well appointed. The beach towels and chairs are an added bonus. The owner got back to me immediately when we had a question. Overall lovely accommodations.
