The owners put a lot of thought and effort into the downstairs and our 4 older teens LOVED it. Big screen TV, sectional, foosball table, Tikki Snack Bar, record player with records, mini-fridge, HUGE bedroom with king bed, twin/twin bunk AND a queen bed, plus built-in desk and gorgeous large bathroom with spacious shower and double sinks. The boys said it was the best beach rental yet and it was just a couple houses down from the public beach access and just a mile from the stores, restaurants, and pier at Surf City.Upstairs had everything we needed as well. Though note upstairs has a slightly sunken living room so it's two steps up to dining/kitchen and two steps up to bedrooms/oceanside balcony - could be an issue if mobility is a concern. We enjoyed family breakfasts & dinners at the large dining room table. My favorite things: having the beds already made when we arrived and the adirondack rockers on the oceanside balcony.

Loved this place!

This property was exactly what we needed, and it was perfect in every way for our group. We had teenagers and adults, so the layout was perfect for the teens to be downstairs doing their thing and the proximity to the beach was fantastic. We would definitely book this place again.

Everything and more

Our weeks vacation was awesome. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked with a lot of extras. Very roomy for our family. The showers were perfect after a long day at the beach. Speaking of beach.. Short walk. The back porch was relaxing to sit and watch the aftn rain and coffee in the morning! The home was very clean upon arrival. Wish we could have had an early check in. But all in all great place to stay

Perfect location

We loved our recent stay at Stay Salty! It is an adorable house that had everything we needed and then some! The decor is beautiful and the beds were very comfy. My kids loved the Pac-Man arcade and foosball/pool table downstairs. We would definitely love to return!

Amazing beach house!!!

Wow! What an amazing stay at what is certainly one of the best beach houses I've stayed in on Topsail Island. This checks all the boxes. Super clean, perfectly decorated, and on a quiet street right next to the beach access. This place was perfect for me and my family and there honestly isn't a single complaint. The downstairs game room was the perfect hang for the kids, while my husband and I rocked on the front deck nightly with our wine. When we wanted to head downtown we just took a short 15 min beach walk to the restaurant and bars. So much fun! This place knocked it out of the park and I will certainly be making this a yearly thing at Stay Salty! Ps. Newly added outdoor shower is amazing!!!
