Direct Ocean Front, heated Pool,5BR, Elevator,Great Location,walk to restaurants


Just bring your bathing suit, fishing rods and surfboard and that's all you need. Anchors Away has it all for everyone in the family.

This beautifully decorated new duplex has 5 bedrooms with each bedroom offering its own private bathroom. An elevator to help with getting luggage and groceries in is located on the ground floor.

Located on the ground floor also is a 'teen' room tucked away at the back of the hall. A futon with twin bunk and television are offer the perfect place for younger folks to 'get-a-away' from it all.

Three bedrooms offer King size beds and the fourth bedroom has a bunk with twin on top, double and a double trundle. All bedrooms have their own private bath and television.

The living area is on the top floor and the view will take your breath away. The soft warm colors of the sofas along with the rich wood furnishings make this a gathering place for all. There is a foosball table that is built into the coffee table and also has two slide out stool for the game. Flip the top over and you have a card table.

The living area also offers a large TV.

Just outside the living area door is your private view to the ocean. Have your coffee at the deck table or maybe a nice quiet dinner at night.

There is a pool located ocean front and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach.

Anchors Away will be your 'away from it all' favorite for years to come.

Your check-in location is our Surf City office. Linens are provided. Pets are permitted in this property with pet fee.

Great Getaway

The house was just as described; it had everything we needed and provided enough space for our active family of 5. The location is perfect to enjoy all that Surf City has to offer without even needing to move the car. We hope to be back next year!

Excellent Family Vacation

We had a fabulous time spending time with the newest member of our family, age 8 months. The property was a perfect fit for our family. The house is beautifully decorated and we had everything that we needed to prepare family meals. Overall the vacation was excellent!

Exquisite Vacation

5 out of 5 stars Our family had a wonderful vacation at this gorgeous beach front house that was fully stocked with kitchen items and was very clean. The decor was fabulous, and the location was fantastic with a minimal walk to restaurants, pier, aquarium, community pool, and beach. We did not have to get in our car and travel places allowing us more time to enjoy our vacation.

Wonderful property and responsive owners

We had a lovely week long stay with our kids and dog. The pool was so convenient and the location can’t be beat. House was very clean and well stocked - kitchen had lots of cookware and spices. Dave was so helpful with booking and all our pre stay questions. Excellent house for a family getaway. We parked our car and moved it once or twice the rest of the week. Definitely recommend for a relaxing stay.

Surf City Delight

Our family celebrated another Thanksgiving week at Surf City and this might have been the best week yet. You can't beat the location - just a quick walk to so many things: coffee, live music, a small grocery store, etc. The house was so comfy and made our stay even more relaxing. We clocked many hours on the porch watching the surfers and action at the pier. Would love the opportunity to stay here again.

Beach house

The house was beautiful and very clean. We had a problem with the occupants in 116-A because the children were shooting nerf bullets over the partition for three days and the adults did not intervene until we complained to Ward Realty. After that, we enjoyed the rest of our stay.

Wonderful Rental

This was our 12th trip to Topsail and one of the best equipped homes we've stayed in. It was fantastic to have all of the linens available and the kids absolutely loved taking bike rides around town and over the bridge with their dad. Location cannot be beat. Our party included my parents, in their 70's, my husband and me, our four children 11-17, and our little dog. Everyone enjoyed their stay. The only thing that could have been better was the cleanliness of the floors. Certainly not a dealbreaker. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Amazing stay

We had an amazing week at Anchors Away! The floor plan was perfect for our family and friend group. We had the night owls upstairs and everyone else in the second floor bedrooms. The baby was able to sleep undisturbed while the adults hung out upstairs. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out when all 8 of us were in the house. The house is centrally located and we walked just about everywhere all week. We only used the car to go to the Salty Turtle (recommend) and to haul all of our stuff to Aquaholics to rent a boat (also recommend). The kitchen is well equipped if you want to stay in and cook and there was a gas grill under the home. We loved that it was dog friendly and our girls spent hours out on the decks just sniffing the sea air. We really appreciated the elevator and I don’t think we will ever rent a multi story home without one again. It makes move in and move out so much easier. We had a minor issue that I will only mention because of the excellent responsiveness of the owner. He was right on top of it and our issue was resolved very quickly. We were very appreciative of that. I highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay. House and location was ideal for our family. Us older folks could sit and enjoy the views, while the younger crowd could get out and explore. Everybody having their own bath was a blessing. Would stay here again.

We have vacationed here two years in a row. The owner is fantastic and quick to respond to any of my questions. The views couldn’t be beat and the location is just a walk away to everything you need. My kids love the pool and we love that we don’t have to drive anywhere, just a walk out to the beach, or across the street to Shaka taco, sugar kingdom, IGA, etc.
