About The Owner
Our house was purchased new in May of 2015 by my family after selling a house in the North Carolina mountains (too far away from our home in Eastern North Carolina). My mom retired from directing a nonprofit for 26 years and my dad was an attorney.
Why the Owner Chose North Topsail Beach:
We all wanted to be close to the beach, 5 bedrooms, and an elevator. We love Topsail Island as it is 2 hours from our home and has lots of good restaurants. It is also "family friendly" and not crowded.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
We love to sit on the porch with family and friends and look at the beautiful ocean views. We are also at a dead-end street which is very nice because we get very little traffic. We enjoy hearing the sounds of the ocean at night. I love to cook and enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with Cuisinart, blender and Kitchen Aid stand mixer--and a crock pot! Since we live in a 100+ year old house, new is very nice!

Additional Location Information
The house is located on a dead end street which significantly cuts down on traffic. Three local bars (The Brass Pelican, Hulas, and Margaritas) are within walking distance at about a quarter mile. The location is about halfway between both bridges onto the island, the high-rise bridge from Sneads Ferry and the swing bridge from Holly Ridge / Surf City, which can cut down on your time getting on and off the island (there is usually much less traffic coming over the high-rise). Restaurants and shops are about 3.5 miles down the island in Surf City.

Check in is at 4:00 pm. A code to enter the house will be sent prior to the date of the rental. In addition, a key to the outside doors and the elevator will be left in the kitchen. A word of warning! If you arrive after dark, do not let the statue of "Precious" frighten you. She is at the top of the stairs coming up to the second floor. She is a larger than life size figure of a buxom blond in a red bathing suit. My husband's acquisition.....

Wonderful Stay!
My daughters, their families, my sister, husband, 2 pups and I visited July 2021. We had a great time. The home was exactly as described. Everyone enjoyed having their own space. We all enjoyed the main living area, front decks and the beach! The property manager quickly responded when needed and even offered tips on where to get the freshest seafood. We all hope to visit again!

Family Fun Fourth of July
Owners are excellent hosts, very easy to communicate with. Super, quiet space with wonderful views and location.
A friend and I spent a few days enjoying the open, bright space sewing/quilting. The holiday weekend was fantastic. We didn't have to leave the house to watch fireworks displays all around us. Front porch was just right for rocking, sipping, and catching the breeze from the ocean. Just a few steps away we were on the beach soaking up the rays. Even a tropical storm didn't hamper this vacation!
I've rented several places on Topsail Island and this one has, by far, the best equipped kitchen ever!!! The elevator was a godsend for my elderly mother, as well as getting food and clothing from the ground floor. Cannot wait to stay again next year if possible!!!

Probably one of the best houses on Topsail Island!
We had two families staying in the house and were very happy with the proximity to the beach - only one house between us and the beach and the cleanliness and comfort of the house. Topsail Island itself is a bit lacking in creature comforts, but some people may enjoy that it's still undeveloped.
