Great Updated House! Oceanfront, Private Pool, Elevator, Spectacular Views!

House in Coastal North Carolina, Topsail Island Area, NC, North Topsail Beach, NC

Description

Beautifully Furnished Oceanfront Beach House...

Walk only 80' from the back door and you're on the beach, or sit on the third floor deck and watch the dolphins and the ocean roll-in. After a day on the beach, relax pool-side. The pool is open from April 1st and closes October 31st for the season. The pool will be heated before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. Call if you have questions.

The floor plan is a non-traditional design. The Great Room, Kitchen and Master bedroom are on the third floor. Thus taking advantage of both the ocean front and sound views from both sides of the house. It also has an elevator that serves all three floors, making the trip up/down a little easier. This non-smoking home features four bedrooms on the second floor, with a shared bathroom with shower and a jack & jill bathroom with tub. Our newest addition is our Margaritaville blender machine to make your favorite frozen concoction for the young and old.

The great room has generous seating for 10 overlooking the ocean with a fireplace for cooler weather. There is plenty of seating in kitchen and bar area to eat. The modern kitchen is fully equipped and has an additional stand-alone ice maker for those hot days! The house has plenty of games and books for down time. This bright and fresh beach home has hardwood floors and area carpets. There is a private hot and cold shower outside.

If you like an uncrowded beach and all the modern amenities that a house can offer, you will fall in love with this location. A 20-minute walk takes you to the recreation park which has a playground, lighted tennis courts and basketball courts. Putt-Putt Golf is just a few miles down the road and the area's premier 4-star rated golf course is 5 minutes away by car and is one of Golf Digest's 'Best Places to Play' 2008-2009. If you're feeling more adventurous, visit the USS North Carolina Battleship in Wilmington (35 miles south) or the North Carolina Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores (35 miles north).

About The Owner

Phil and I grew up in Delaware and have been here in Raleigh since 1998. We have enjoyed North Carolina so much we decided to stay and make it our home. We then visited some of the beaches in the area and fell in love with North Topsail Island! That's when we decided to build. We are a family of five and wanted a place to create memories and enjoy our future grandchildren some day there.

Why Phil and Suzanne chose North Topsail Beach
We saw this location and loved the peacefulness and the fact that it wasn't too far from things to do, but just far enough to enjoy it's natural surroundings.

What makes this House unique
North Topsail Island reminds me of the beaches I use to visit when I was a child. It is not over run with tall hotels and building and a lot of traffic and chaos. It is somewhat quiet and undisturbed. We love the fact that the momma sea turtles come up to our end of the Island to hatch there eggs! There is also a sea turtle museum and turtle rescue on the Island. Our kids just love being here!

I loved this house. It was perfect for our family. Beach was awesome and easy access.

We enjoyed our vacation. Beautiful beach, pool and house. The grill didn't work, so I would have liked that to be better next time. Yes, there will be a next time.

First time to Topsail!

We had a wonderful vacation! The home is is updated and beautifully decorated. The top porch was a fav hangout and very relaxing. We typically go to OBX but did topsail this year and was not disappointed. It is not a going out type of town but the home was well equipped with everything we needed. The beach was amazing and not overly crowded. We will definitely be back in the future.

Fantastic beach vacation at Terrapin Station.

Our family, 4 adults and 5 teenagers, had a wonderful time at Terrapin Station. It was so relaxing sitting on the covered upper deck watching the ocean, dolphins, and stars/moon at night. The beach is uncrowded and we found many shark teeth and seashells. We enjoyed walking the beach, discovering protected turtle nests, wading in tide pools at low tide, and going ghost crab hunting at night. We loved the private pool (very clean) and the built in seating in the pool. It was nice to cool off on days the ocean was too choppy for swimming or relaxing at the end of the day. The hose on the second floor and the shower by the pool were convenient. The living room and kitchen open floor plan had amazing ocean views and was perfect for meals/hanging out. The kitchen was well equipped and provided everything we needed for cooking our meals all week. The second fridge/freezer on the 1st floor was helpful for storing extra drinks. The elevator worked great and made unpacking suitcases and groceries much easier. Suzanne was a pleasure to work with and answered my inquiries quickly. We really enjoyed staying at Terrapin Station and our families had a fantastic time at the beach. Thank you!

House was perfect for our trip!

We recently stayed at this house for my in-laws' annual summer reunion. Needless to say, this was the perfect house for us, and comfortably accommodated 4 adult couples and 4 kids that are under the age of 7. We loved having the pool and beach access just a walk away since it provided the family huge flexibility. We didn't have to worry about packing up the car for a day at the beach and could come and go as we pleased. Also, Suzanne was a pleasure to work with, and was quick to respond to my many inquiries. It was a general consensus that this house was amazing and we all had the best summer beach trip. Thank you, Phil and Suzanne!
