Private Retreat for two with stunning Ocean Front Views

A third floor ocean front beach condo at Topsail Reef in the point, offering an unobstructed spectacular view of the ocean!
A rare experience on a barrier island, on a ribbon of sand. At low tide you have a beautiful secluded beach to enjoy the water and sand, or look for sharks teeth and shells! At high tide, sit on the balcony, watch for dolphins, or relax and read a book while listening to the the waves and sea gulls!
The tastefully decorated condo has everything you need to make your vacation comfortable and enjoyable!

Our Oceanfront condo is on the third floor, so there are a total of 38 steps to consider. Beach access is on the first floor.

The Beach condo will be prepared for your getaway to begin as soon as you walk in! The bed will be made, towels laid out, the kitchen pantry will be stocked, we have a Keurig with K-cups, everything is there if you want to cook. We have beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards on the balcony for you to use as well.

Check in and check outs are easy! We will give you a code to unlock the lockbox with the keys to the condo. Parking pass will be in the condo for you to display on your rear view mirror. At the end of your stay just return the keys and parking pass, put the wet towels in the bathtub and we will take care of the rest!
Please reach out if you have any questions, or want to tweak a date, check in/out, whatever! I am easy to get along with!

Beautiful ocean views

It was perfect for two people. We enjoyed it and the ocean was right there. Sad that the beach front is being washed away. You can walk a little ways and have more sand though. I loved it there.

First time at North Topsail

First off, the property owner is a complete angel and made my family's trip the best! This location is perfect for a small family or a couples trip. During high tide the immediate beach isn't accessible but during low tide it's exceptionable. Thank you Sharon for being you and making this is an amazing trip:)

Best experience ever, in Topsail!

We've been vacationing in Topsail for years and this is the best place we've ever stayed! the location and view are the best, right on the beach sand! the place is spotless, super clean and comfortable! you won't need to bring anything, except your personal clothes as the owner will provide everything you need, but we mean, everything, from toiletry to beach chairs and towels; the best part? the owner won't treat you just like a business, but really like a family member is coming to visit; we had the best experience ever in Topsail and we can't recommend this place enough! Thank you. Sharon!

Relaxation Paradise

You can not get any closer to the beach! The property owner responds quickly and is extremely helpful. She has went above and beyond with stocking this property! Chances are if you forgot to bring it, it doesn't matter, she has thought of it and made it available. The steps could be a slight challenge for some. Besides that, it's wonderful. We found this to be the perfect place to get away for some much needed R&R and couple time. We would definitely stay again!

Great location and has everything you might need

The location on the beach is lovely and being so far north means you are away from the crowds of the access points closer to Surf City. The space is stocked with all needs including towels, spices, and bathroom supplies. The space is cooled by two freestanding air conditioners that do a pretty good job but may be overwhelming to anyone with sensitivity to noise. We had to leave one day earlier than anticipated. It was greatly appreciated that there was not a list of tasks associated with checking out so that we could be on our way on short notice!

Cozy getaway by the sea

We had a long weekend here for our 10th anniversary. Our host was fantastic. Great communication and very thoughtful amenities. Definitely over and above what we expected. The condo was comfortable and well-maintained. Amazing to be basically right in the ocean!

On the Beach

This is a nice, well taken care of condo right on the beachfront. The ocean comes right up to the building during high tide 🌊 which is one of my favorite things about this property. You can see and hear the waves crash against the sandbags. Sharon is an excellent host.

What a lovely, quiet and peaceful vacation. If there is a way to stay any closer to the ocean, I would like to see it. We had an amazing time this past week, and the north end of Topsail Island is hands down one of my favorites now! Thank you again, for a wonderful vacation!

Relaxation

The property description and pictures were very accurate. Host was amazing with communication and went above and beyond in insuring we were comfortable through so many extra amenities. Seriously, we only had to bring our clothes and dinner. The place was very quiet and permanent residents were all friendly. Like others said, you only get about 6 hours of beach time in front of the place but can easily walk to another location. Very relaxing and peaceful.

Quaint Beach Rental

Firstly, the host was very accommodating! Left snacks, small breakfast, and essential toiletries for us. The rental was fully equipped and perfect for just two people. The beach in front of the condo is not accessible at high tide but that’s ok, because you can access the beach with a small walk OR you can sit on the balcony and watch the waves hit right under.
