This newly built second-row home offers the rare combination of beautiful Atlantic views and convenient beach access just across the street — giving you the coastal experience you want with the comfort and space your family needs. Properties in this location with open ocean views are limited and tend to fill early for spring and summer dates. Flexible check-in and check-out days and shorter minimum stays help you avoid peak traffic and make the most of your time on the island. Inside, you’ll find spacious, sun-filled rooms designed in a relaxed coastal style that feels clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The layout allows everyone to gather together while still having room to unwind after a full day on the beach. Two large decks provide sweeping ocean views and extra outdoor living space — perfect for morning coffee at sunrise, afternoon reading in the shade, or dinner together with the sound of the waves in the background. The fully stocked kitchen makes preparing meals simple and convenient, whether you're cooking fresh local seafood or quick breakfasts before heading out. Beds are made with fresh linens before your arrival, and we provide 10 bath towel sets, 8 beach towels, and starter essentials so you can settle in comfortably. Beach access is directly across the street, making it easy for families with children or anyone who appreciates a simple walk to the sand. Beach chairs, an umbrella, and toys are provided for your use. Topsail Beach is known for its peaceful shoreline, small-town charm, and family-friendly atmosphere. Enjoy local shops, waterfront dining, and the island sidewalk that connects toward Surf City or along the quieter southern end of the island. A visit to Scoops Microcreamery is always a favorite tradition for guests. Wave Hog is thoughtfully maintained and carefully prepared for each stay, creating a comfortable setting for your beach vacation. Many families choose to return year after year, and prime weeks are often reserved well in advance — we encourage securing your preferred dates while they are available. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Elevator - Gravel flooring in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,313 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property amenity](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120760000/120757900/120757812/b04d951d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shady Beaches by Topsail Realty Holly Ridge - Kitchen - Dryer - Parking included - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-15&endDate=2026-03-16&selected=120757812&PinnedHotelID=120757812&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Studio (4 Bedrooms) | Property amenity](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115550000/115549800/115549773/dd725175.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Livin' the Ruff Life by Topsail Realty Holly Ridge - Kitchen - Dryer - Pet friendly - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-15&endDate=2026-03-16&selected=115549773&PinnedHotelID=115549773&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Studio (4 Bedrooms) | Property amenity](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115550000/115545500/115545448/b5fddd2e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Callalily by Topsail Realty Holly Ridge - Ocean view - Kitchen - Dryer - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-15&endDate=2026-03-16&selected=115545448&PinnedHotelID=115545448&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Studio (4 Bedrooms) | Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115550000/115549100/115549021/085c3e59.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunray Cottage by Topsail Realty Holly Ridge - Kitchen - Dryer - Pet friendly - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-15&endDate=2026-03-16&selected=115549021&PinnedHotelID=115549021&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Studio (5 Bedrooms) | Property amenity](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115550000/115546900/115546874/657bc463.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Playhouse by Topsail Realty Holly Ridge - Kitchen - Dryer - Pet friendly - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-15&endDate=2026-03-16&selected=115546874&PinnedHotelID=115546874&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120760000/120750300/120750278/71068e37.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shady Beaches | Waterfront Haven, Private Pier Surf City - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-15&endDate=2026-03-16&selected=120750278&PinnedHotelID=120750278&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122270000/122260200/122260182/f19be99d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Summer Days Cooler Nights #201 - 2nd Row Dog-Friendly House in Topsail Beach!

We might have found our new favorite spot. This house has the best unobstructed second row views we’ve seen. We really enjoyed all of the activities around the island and the house had a large backyard complete with all of the comforts of home. We were so sad to leave. Staci is wonderful, and we are beyond grateful for the experience this home gave us. ❤️ thank you for being the best hosts ever! ##### Glynnis D.
