Oceanfront retreat with expansive decks and stunning views in Surf City
New in our program, this home as many great reviews from past guests!
Welcome to Pelicans' Porch, a beautifully decorated oceanfront home designed with relaxation in mind. Ideally located on North Shore Dr. in the heart of Surf City, you'll be just minutes from local shops, restaurants, and island activities while still enjoying a peaceful beachfront setting.
The first floor features an expansive oceanfront deck with stunning, unobstructed views of the beach—perfect for morning coffee, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the sound of the waves. Upstairs, you'll find a bright and airy open-concept living space filled with natural light. This inviting area includes a comfortable living room with two sofas and a TV, a dining table for gathering, and a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar for casual meals.
Step out onto the second beachfront deck to enjoy multiple seating areas, ideal for catching ocean breezes or winding down after a day in the sun. Each bedroom is thoughtfully appointed with its own TV, and the primary suite offers direct deck access along with a private en suite bathroom featuring an oversized walk-in shower.
Whether you're here for beach days, sunset views, or simply to relax, Pelicans' Porch offers the perfect blend of comfort, location, and coastal charm.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker.

Great location, beautiful view, right on the beach! Four of the five bedrooms are oceanfront. This house has been well maintained. The common rooms are plenty spacious for a big group.

Family Vacation
My husband and I brought are 5 “children” ages 15-20 and they each were allowed to bring a friend! What a perfect week! The house was wonderful, clean, spacious inside and out. The beach location was ideal not to close to the action that the beach was crowded but close enough…we will be coming back!
