About this property

We all need something to look forward to ....
SummerSalt is the perfect spot to have a Topsail Island vacation! We repeatedly have guests tell us and leave reviews saying that SummerSalt is "the cleanest VRBO house we have ever stayed in" and now we know our guests value that even more with COVID19.

We have worked to make this home ready for your arrival with tasteful, clean decor and ample opportunities to do all of your favorite beach activities. Make memories while you enjoy the sun, swimming, surfing, search for shells, or just relax with your family and friends. SummerSalt offers views of the ocean with a quiet, convenient beach access just a few yards away.

Start your day with your morning coffee on the large front deck as the sun rises over the ocean. Then walk to the beach for a day of collecting shells, jumping the waves and building your very own sand creation. Then return to SummerSalt for more outdoor pleasures by lounging in your private pool with a large tanning ledge. And don't miss your chance to shower outside in a private shower with the smell of salty air. There's an outdoor gas grill in the backyard for your cooking pleasure or you could pick up some yummy seafood from a local restaurant!

SummerSalt has a fully-equipped kitchen, digital cable television, 4 flat screen televisions, high-speed wireless internet access, and many other amenities! SummerSalt is a family-friendly house with puzzles, cards, games and books available for all ages. We work to make sure you arrive with nothing to worry about. Linens are provided, beds are made, and we have some basic essentials in the cabinets so all you have to shop for is food and beverages. We take great pride in preparing the house for each guest so your arrival is abundantly pleasant and you can leave all your worries behind.

For anyone not familiar with Topsail Island and Surf City, we'll be happy to answer any questions and help you find interesting things to do. It's a quaint little beach town with something for everyone. There are golf courses nearby, jet ski and boat rentals, opportunities to learn about marine life, fishing, equipment rentals (surfboards, bikes, kayaks), shopping, craft markets, worship services, exercise classes, and more.

There's no better place to enjoy all these things than SummerSalt, where you have your own slice of heaven with everything you need. Contact us with any questions.

Wonderful Family Experience

The Surf City property was clean, family friendly, and amazing. The proximity to the beach access was convenient and the kids enjoyed a lowkey afternoon and evening swim in the pool after spending the day on the beach. The property owners were great to deal with and we have already booked our stay next year.

Great location and house had everything we needed. The pool made our stay during the summer heat that much more enjoyable. The extra detail the owners take to make their guests feel comfortable was noticed and appreciated!

Perfect family getaway!

Our second summer visiting Summer Salt and it was perfect! The house is comfortable with everything you need, we didn’t have to pack a bit of beach gear! The proximity to the beach is great and an easy walk even with littles. The neighborhood is quiet and close to the restaurants and shops we visited. Our two favorite new spots were The Crab Pot for delicious food and Herring’s Outdoor Sports for shopping. We’ll be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Trudy & Mark Solomon

We are a local TI family. We enjoy being outdoors and being a part of the TI community. Our motto is - leave things better than you found them (the island, the beach). We are always looking for ways to improve this property and helping others find the beauty of Topsail Island, the marine life, and the pleasure of enjoying this magnificent place we get to call home.

Why they chose this property

South Shore Drive between the pier and the S-curve is the perfect location. It's close to everything but it's not a high-traffic road. This area is an easy place to enjoy walking, biking and being out and about. SummerSalt provides you with such an EASY vacation, with access to water, sand, and fun. You will feel like it's your home away from home, not just another rental.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home because of the large but secluded backyard. It was the perfect place to install a pool, add a large deck and enclose a hot/cold outside shower. We loved updating the interior of the home, making clean and simple decorating choices while we provided the amenities that we've all come to count on. And the location is perfect - a quiet street that gives you the ability to safely walk or bike wherever you'd like to explore. There are plenty of businesses in less than one mile and a nice park too, with access to the Intracoastal Waterway, or what we call "the other side of the island." This property is truly a gem, with comfortable indoor living space but terrific outdoor living spaces too!
