Welcome to Sandy Bottoms, a charming family beach retreat located just a block and a half from the ocean in the heart of Surf City. Nestled along the canals, this spacious five-bedroom, three-bath home was designed with families in mind and offers plenty of room to gather, relax, and make lasting memories.

With five comfortable bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for families and groups to spread out while still enjoying quality time together.
Step outside and enjoy the coastal lifestyle from the spacious front porch, complete with plenty of seating for morning coffee, afternoon conversations, or simply relaxing in the ocean breeze. The large backyard offers plenty of space for kids to run and play, while the shaded ground-level patio beneath the home features swinging benches and an outdoor countertop, creating the perfect spot to unwind after a day in the sun.
Made for Families: Kids' bikes for exploring the neighborhood Large collection of toys, games, and family activities Pack-and-play available for younger guests Large backyard for running, playing, and outdoor games Five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, giving everyone room to spread out Extras for Everyone: Expansive front porch with plenty of seating Covered patio with swinging benches Dartboard for friendly competition Kayaks available for exploring the nearby canal and sound Bright, open living spaces designed for gathering and making memories Whether you're building sandcastles at the beach, paddling through the waterways, or spending evenings gathered on the porch with family and friends, Sandy Bottoms offers the comfort, space, and family-friendly atmosphere needed for an unforgettable Surf City getaway.

Great place with large group!
My friends and I LOVED staying here!! There was plenty of space and everything was clean. There were a lot of activities too in the garage that were fun to utilize. We experienced some rain during our stay but the house allowed us to still have fun!! I highly recommend going with this house if you have a large group!
