Available as early as May 25, this home welcomes you -- and your four-legged companions -- to settle in before the summer surge and begin enjoying the coast from the very start of the season. Located just a short drive -- approximately 5 miles -- from both Surf City and Topsail Beach, the home offers convenient coastal access without the congestion of living directly on the island. From sunrise beach walks to evenings by the water, the shoreline can easily become part of your everyday rhythm. When it's time to head beyond the coast, easy access to Highway 17 keeps Wilmington, Jacksonville, and Camp Lejeune comfortably within reach. Life within the community of The Neighbourhoods of Holly Ridge -- the subdivision this home is located in -- adds another layer of appeal. Sidewalk-lined streets encourage morning walks and bike rides, while the neighborhood's dedicated storage lot for boats, trailers, and RVs supports an active coastal lifestyle without sacrificing driveway space. The fully fenced backyard extends that lifestyle at home, offering a private outdoor retreat where dogs can roam confidently and you can relax on the open patio with coastal breezes. A raised garden bed is already in place for those who enjoy growing herbs, vegetables, or seasonal flowers. The nearby Surf City dog park provides additional space to run and socialize, and local pet supply stores with self-wash stations make cleanup after beach days simple. Just beyond the neighborhood, daily life feels remarkably convenient. The Surf City Community Center and park serve as a hub for activity, offering sports leagues, fitness programs, tennis courts, a skate park, and an inclusive playground. The Surf City Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway provides a scenic and safe route for walking or biking toward the beach -- blending movement with water views along the way. Everyday essentials are seamlessly woven into the same close radius.

Everyday essentials are seamlessly woven into the same close radius. Publix -- a highly regarded grocery store known for quality selections, custom cakes, a fresh soup bar, and convenient grab-and-go meals -- anchors your shopping options. Harris Teeter and Walmart Grocery provide additional variety, while nearby Lowe's and Ace Hardware make projects and quick fixes simple. Starbucks is just minutes away for your morning routine, and a local UPS Store keeps shipping and returns efficient. Cape Fear Community College's Surf City campus sits nearby as well, and the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center adds a touch of coastal character and community involvement. Stepping inside 115 Hampton Drive, flexibility takes center stage. The main level includes both a formal dining room and a separate eat-in kitchen dining area, allowing you to tailor the space to your needs -- whether that's traditional dining, a homeschool setup, a dedicated work-from-home space, a playroom, reading retreat, or a thoughtful blend of it all. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, a generously sized island, and a raised high-top bar that naturally separates prep space from seating. Whether hosting friends, helping with homework, or setting out a casual spread, the layout supports daily life with ease. Even the dishwasher includes a third top rack -- one of those subtle upgrades that makes everyday routines more efficient. All bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned upstairs, creating a natural transition from shared living spaces below to a quieter retreat at the end of the day. The primary suite offers space to unwind, complete with a soaking tub for slower evenings and a separate walk-in shower for mornings that require efficiency. The oversized fourth bedroom provides exceptional versatility -- spacious enough for two sets of bunk beds, a media or game room, a creative studio, or a combined guest and workspace. Direct access to a walk-in attic storage area keeps seasonal décor, luggage, and keepsakes organized and easily accessible. A flexible workspace features a pegboard accent wall -- a practical design element that adapts to your lifestyle. Whether organizing hobby supplies, displaying art, hanging tools, or creating an efficient command center, it offers both function and personality. The layout and flow of the home are best experienced through our newly captured 3D tour, available by request. The living area centers around a propane-based fireplace that adds warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings. Installed TV wall mounts, curtain rods, and window coverings are already in place, and a washer and dryer can be included, making move-in straightforward. The garage adds additional functional storage, including a mounted surfboard rack -- and the surfboard itself may remain if desired. Whether you already have gear ready to hang or you're ready to begin building your own coastal collection, the space invites you to settle in quickly and make it your own. Tour it in person or request the newly captured 3D tour today. If you're considering a lease shorter or longer than 12 months, reach out to discuss options that may align with your timeline.
