Looking for a waterfront beach home with incredible views, beach access, walkability, and short-term rental opportunity? This Surf City retreat offers a location and coastal lifestyle that simply can't be recreated. Welcome to 813 N. New River Drive Unit B in Serenity Bay, where you can walk to the beach, step into your front yard and launch your kayak or paddleboard into the stunning Intracoastal Waterway, and stroll into the heart of Surf City for restaurants, shops, church, the local fish market, Soundside Park, and year-round community events. Start your morning with a walk to the beach along the community's private beach walkway. Spend the afternoon kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing while taking in the peaceful estuary and Intracoastal Waterway views. Then walk to dinner, grab a coffee, or visit the shops before coming home to watch an unforgettable sunset from your own waterfront deck. You can leave the car at home, this is the Topsail Island coastal lifestyle people dream about! Imagine walking across your grassy waterfront lawn to the Intracoastal water's edge.
