Available as early as May 25, this home welcomes you -- and your four-legged companions -- to settle in before the summer surge and begin enjoying the coast from the very start of the season. Located just a short drive -- approximately 5 miles -- from both Surf City and Topsail Beach, the home offers convenient coastal access without the congestion of living directly on the island. From sunrise beach walks to evenings by the water, the shoreline can easily become part of your everyday rhythm. When it's time to head beyond the coast, easy access to Highway 17 keeps Wilmington, Jacksonville, and Camp Lejeune comfortably within reach. Life within the community of The Neighbourhoods of Holly Ridge -- the subdivision this home is located in -- adds another layer of appeal. Sidewalk-lined streets encourage morning walks and bike rides, while the neighborhood's dedicated storage lot for boats, trailers, and RVs supports an active coastal lifestyle without sacrificing driveway space. The fully fenced backyard extends that lifestyle at home, offering a private outdoor retreat where dogs can roam confidently and you can relax on the open patio with coastal breezes. A raised garden bed is already in place for those who enjoy growing herbs, vegetables, or seasonal flowers. The nearby Surf City dog park provides additional space to run and socialize, and local pet supply stores with self-wash stations make cleanup after beach days simple. Just beyond the neighborhood, daily life feels remarkably convenient. The Surf City Community Center and park serve as a hub for activity, offering sports leagues, fitness programs, tennis courts, a skate park, and an inclusive playground. The Surf City Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway provides a scenic and safe route for walking or biking toward the beach -- blending movement with water views along the way. Everyday essentials are seamlessly woven into the same close radius.
