Beautiful Beachfront 6 Bedroom Home with Private Sundeck on Dune

Welcome to the New Himmelstrand! Heaven's Beach 2.0!

(Note: This is the first time this beautiful home has been available for beach rental. We’ve rented our precious beach home so we’re not new to the VRBO experience.)

Oceanfront coastal living at its finest! This sophisticated Surf City home was planned with incomparable attention to detail and built with the finest materials. Besides offering a breathtaking experience of sand and surf, this well appointed home invites you to lounge or rock in a chair on one of two spacious covered decks. You can also enjoy the sundeck on the dune and bask in full, glorious sun. Take a few steps to the sand and a few more to put your toes in the surf. That's when you understand why this beachfront home is called Himmelstrand, "Heaven's Beach."

Enjoy your stay in one of six large, tastefully decorated ensuite bedrooms. This multi-generation family-friendly beachfront home comes with numerous quality touches and amenities: an elevator services all three floors, newly renovated kitchen fully equipped for foodies and cooks alike with new quartz countertops, hardwoods and tile throughout, separate water heaters for each floor, a gathering play area with kitchenette, spacious outside shower, and beach access directly from the house. Himmelstrand has been lovingly maintained and appointed. Located 3/4 of a mile south of the Surf City pier on a quiet low traffic street, Himmelstrand is an easy stroll or bike ride from the shops and restaurants of Surf City.

Come and stay a while at Himmelstrand, Heaven's Beach. You won't regret it!

The Perfect Interruption

This property was the perfect setting for a multi-generation vacation. The hosts were timely with responses and even provided a fun shell connection activity with previous and future renters. It’s hard to find a spot where a multiple families with a wide span of ages can have and and relax. The faculties were clean and well care for. With the quick access to the beach and the main strip, it was our perfect spot.

Love

We absolutely love this house! A very well maintained property, accommodating, plenty of room, and very well stocked. This was our 3rd year at Himmelstrand and we already have it booked for 2026. The only reason I didn’t give cleanliness a 5 star was because a couple of bathroom showers were not as clean as they have been in the past and the property manager didn’t contact us. The owner is very proactive, informative, and wants to make your vacation stay the best week for you and your family. Thank you Chad!

Lauer Family Reunion

The house was beautiful and nicely decorated and very clean. We loved our family time and really enjoyed the house location, the easy access to the beach, pier, and shell collecting. Overall a great experience and we all want to come back to enjoy this well cared for house that felt like home away from home! Thank you for keeping it well maintained.

Amazing house!

This is a beautiful and well kept property that is perfect for a group of adults. Everyone has their own bathroom and there’s one room that’s great for a family with kids. The house is well laid out and comfortable and the covered porch is amazing or sitting out and looking at the ocean when it gets too hot to sit on the beach. Really enjoyed our stay!

Great view of the ocean and very good location!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was very clean upon arrival and the location is fantastic. The views were wonderful from the top floor with the beach just a very short ways away!!! Location is also fantastic in Surf City with many places to eat, visit, etc. nearby. Our family really enjoyed our stay and the owners were wonderful to work with.

Great Stay!

We are always in the lookout for the perfect beach house, and we might have just found it this year. We really enjoyed all aspects of our stay. The house was beautiful and well stocked, it was in a great location, and the property was well maintained. Our plans for next summer are still a little up in the air, but if we’re able to come back we would love to stay in this house again.
