Welcome to Sperm Whales and Mermaid Tails, Our Family’s Happy Place by the Sea! Make yourself at home in our family’s cherished beach retreat, a spacious and cheerful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home just a 2-minute walk from the sand and surf in beautiful Surf City. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, relaxation, and connection, this home is the perfect coastal getaway for families or a group of friends looking to create lasting memories together. Step inside to find a bright and welcoming space with room for up to 8 guests. Bedroom 1 features a comfy queen bed and a private full bath, while Bedroom 2 offers another queen bed and shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with Bedroom 3, which is outfitted with two full beds, perfect for kids or extra guests. Need a little more sleeping room? Tucked away under the stairs, you'll find a cozy twin bed nook, ideal for a reading spot or an extra guest. The open-concept living area invites you to relax and unwind, whether you're lounging with a book, streaming a movie with our included WiFi, or enjoying the cool comfort of central AC. A full washer and dryer make beach days a breeze, and the hot and cold outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off sandy toes after fun in the sun. Our vacation rental includes a 50-amp RV plug-in, perfect for campers or electric vehicle charging. Enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails on the front or back porch, both furnished with plenty of outdoor seating for conversation or quiet time. The spacious driveway has plenty of room for parking, including space for your boat if you're bringing one along for adventure. Hop on one of the two included beach cruiser bikes and explore the island with ease. We're just one mile from the heart of Surf City’s shops and local favorites like Daddy Mac’s, Shaka Taco, The Daily Grind, and High Waters Social, whether you're craving seafood, tacos, or a great coffee. We’d be honored to host you and your loved ones at Sperm Whales and Mermaid Tails and hope you'll make lifelong memories at our little slice of paradise. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Gravel flooring in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycles - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34150000/34141300/34141206/24b9b672.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Spindrift" OCEANFRONT 5 Bedroom 3 Bath Home North Topsail Beach - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 8.8 Excellent 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=34141206&PinnedHotelID=34141206&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, DVD player, table football, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/46980000/46971600/46971507/80320e22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Andrews - Classic 5BR Oceanfront Home - Great Ocean Views from Deck; Game Room Surf City - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 8.6 Excellent 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=46971507&PinnedHotelID=46971507&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103330000/103328300/103328239/91d55570.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Laguna East #158 - 4 BD Oceanfront Home w/ Direct Beach Access!
