The property is a portion of a family-owned tract that was acquired in 1907 by our great grandfather, which included approximately a mile of the beach extending south of the property. The oceanfront in the vicinity of the house and on adjacent properties is vacant, which affords beautiful unobstructed panoramic views from the front deck, and a private beach front with direct private access. The beach access is located directly across the road. Private access to the sound is also available for canoeing, kayaking or fishing...or just to sit at the picnic table and enjoy the sunset! The house includes three bedrooms and two full baths with an ocean side deck with swing for taking in the view, and a back screened porch with a fan and swing for a quiet secluded break in the action. The house sleeps nine comfortably in the bedrooms, and eleven including the day bed in the living area. Escape from your everyday grind, and come enjoy the paradise of Topsail Island at this truly unique home!! Additional photos available upon request!

The private beach access across the street is so convenient and the beach is beautiful and uncrowded. The whole family had a wonderful time looking for shark teeth (we found hundreds in the shell beds directly in front of the house) and just relaxing and enjoying the spectacular view.

Getting into property was easy. Just was missing some things. Had no extra toilet paper..only one roll in each. No dish tabs for dishwasher. No cooking oil. And as far as provided beach items..they only had towels. Had a great stay regardless, just had to purchase things that usual vacation homes have. And on our last day the entry lock stopped working. Had to go in through the back door. Reached out to property owner before stay, but no response. ##### Kelly T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer S.

It is an older beach home. It has a fabulous view and a new walkway over the beach. They have made some improvements inside. Owner was quick to respond. My issue was cleanliness. I found multiple dirty dishes cups, plates and bowls in the cupboards. Also there were items left in the bedroom drawer that should have been removed. I would stay here again. ##### Jennifer S.

The owner was great with communication and response to issues. The house porches and view were awesome. The house was dated and the appliances were old. There were issues with the AC that did get resolved. The dishwasher is old and the top rack can't be raised to include large plates on bottom. Tried and it fell. Cleanliness was fair. ##### Kathleen T. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alisha B. Mar 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Mini Vacation The home was comfortable and big enough to fit my family of 8 (2 adults, 6 children). The private beach entrance was great. It rained the entire trip, so we enjoyed the house quite a bit. The swings on the porches were a huge hit with the kids and the board games were fun as well. The only issue we had with the home was that the outlets weren't covered in the home (childproofing) and we had a toddler with us that loves to explore. We could close the doors to all of the rooms to prevent her from entering, but the kitchen was open and the outlet on the end of the breakfast bar was her go-to for my anxiety lol. Other than that everything was perfect. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay! ##### Alisha B. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kristie s. Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House, wonderful owner The house was great, but what I really want to express is how the owner is a wonderful man. I rented the house twice for two different times, once in April and again in May. Unfortunately my Dad was admitted to the hospital a couple of nights before we was supposed to go in April than went into hospice and passed away a week before we was supposed to go in May.. the owner refunded my money for the trip in April that we didn’t get to take. We did make it down for the trip in May and it made my grieving process so much better because I had family around me, I wasn’t going to go but I realized it’s important to spend time with the ones you have left. The house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked. Can not say enough about how this stay helped me and how wonderful the owner is. Will definitely go back and would 100% recommend this place to family and friends.. Thanks again for making a hard time in my life bearable and sharing such a great place. ##### kristie s.

The property is open and comfortably hosted my family. The kitchen appliances and gadgets were adequateThe beds were comfy The morning sunrises is just a 40 sec walk across the street. Property has a few cool adds like the porch swings and really was enjoyable. ##### Matt W. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha S.
