Property Description

33 Sandy Ln, Surf City, NC 28445 - Compelling turn-key coastal home ideal for short-term rental income or as a primary residence. This well priced, fully furnished home is turn-key ready for an investor seeking an addition to a property portfolio or for a family's primary residence (or home away from home!). Pride of ownership shows through on this 4 bed / 3 bath / 2,311 sq ft home because it was maintained as a primary residence up until July (2026) when it was converted to a Short-Term Rental (STR). As an STR, it has performed extremely well! Located in the Sandy Ridge neighborhood of Surf City, it sits on a quiet cul-de-sac lot, with an open floorplan and water views of the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW). Its less then 5 mins walking distance to the beach and private beach access via Sandy Ridge's two deeded boardwalks make this an ideal spot for families and renters. The area is also highly walkable and bikeable, featuring trails that connect to Island Oaks and Pleasant Cove neighborhoods. There is no HOA, however, homeowners have the optional opportunity to join the Island Oaks HOA and Water Access Community for an annual fee of $500. Residents gain access to a day dock, boat ramp, and gazebo, with a canal providing ICW access in just minutes.
