Beautifully decorated condo with view of the pool and ocean in perfect location.

Happiness Comes in Waves is your next favorite vacation spot. As you walk into this beautifully decorated and newly renovated condo you won't be disappointed by all of it's amenities. Immediately to your right is the the nicely lit King bedroom and it's connected half bath with closet. Continue down the hallway and you will find bunk beds quietly tucked away in the thoughtfully designed nook. Drawers can be found under for additional storage and curtains provide needed privacy. Right across the hall is the door to the spacious full bath which also connects directly to the master half bath.

Down the hall, you will be welcomed by an open concept living area with a fully stocked kitchen. Sit on the large private balcony and take it all in as you look out over the well maintained pool and courtyard and onto the ocean. Watch a sunrise or sunset or if you are lucky you may even get to see some dolphins playing in the waves.

It's easy to walk or bike to several local restaurants, beach and gift shops, coffee bars, local wine bars, and even live entertainment.

You can even book yourself a fishing guide. Whatever you want to do it is here! Be sure not to miss our local Turtle Hospital where you can see rescued sea turtles.

Topsail Island 1st timers

We had a very nice, quick stay in Topsail/Surf City. The rental was well done, clean, and great location. The beach is just a quick walk across the courtyard. We didn’t get the chance to enjoy the pool but that looked nice as well. Overall pleased with our stay and hopeful to return.

Was just as advertised. Very clean, great location within the "resort" . Very well stocked with all kitchen tools needed. Personally happy for the shelf stable half and half as I forgot mine! Pool very nice. When I contacted the reps with questions I got very quick responses. Would recommend this place for a couple, or with small children.

Lovely, relaxing retreat

I had such a lovely time at Happiness Comes in Waves. Property was clean, beautifully decorated, and was the perfect setting for my salt water therapy. The pool was awesome and the staff friendly. Owners were excellent communicators and the staff was friendly. I’d recommend this condo to anyone!

AMAZING STAY!

This is such a great rental. My husband and 4 year old daughter stayed here for a little weekday getaway and loved it so much. The bed was so comfortable, the house was decorated so cute and they really provided so many essential items to you- TP, cleaning supplies, beach chairs and K cups. The Surf is such a fun place to stay with family and we are already planning when to come back next. Thanks for a great trip!!!

Clean and Quiet

Our trip was so peaceful and sound largely from the condo and complex that this stay was located in. With a private beach entrance, pool, and other amenities along with the clean condo and its renovations we felt so comfortable-- the balcony was roomy and the view was unbeatable.
