The first floor of this home offers a streetside bedroom with a queen bed, a laundry room, a full shared bathroom, and an oceanfront bedroom with a king bed. The oceanfront bedroom has access to the oceanfront deck where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the mornings and take in the sounds of the ocean. Walk down the steps from this deck to take a stroll on the beach!

Head upstairs to the second floor and you will find the oceanfront living room that is open to the dining area and kitchen. Relax on the comfortable seating in the living room and enjoy the views of the ocean through the large sliding glass doors or head outside to the oceanfront deck and soak in the sun! The living room offers a flat screen smart TV and blu ray player. Books and games are available for guest use and can be found in the living room cabinet. The kitchen is fully equipped with the necessary tools for cooking and enjoying a homemade meal.

Just off the kitchen is the streetside master bedroom with a queen bed. The master bedroom has a private balcony with oceanviews and shares access to a full bathroom with the living room area. All bedrooms offer a television for entertainment when you need a break from the sun!

Please note: There are sandbags located in front of several homes along the northern end of the island, including "Cool Story". These sandbags are in place to prevent further beach erosion. It is important that you do not climb on the sandbags. Although beach access is not directly in front of the property – it is a very short walk. Please enjoy the views from the balconies and don’t forget to get up early at least one morning to enjoy the amazing sunrise!

Parking under the house is not advisable due to soft soil.

For Beach Nourishment Updates, please visit the Town of North Topsail Beach's Facebook Page or website.

Please Note: WiFi signal strength is NOT guaranteed at your rental for remote work or remote learning. We are located on a barrier island and do not have cellular towers on the island. This, coupled with the increase of guests in our area, creates an inconsistent cellular signal that is outside of our control and therefore, compensation is NOT guaranteed.

Non-Refundable Pet Deposit is NOT INCLUDED in rate and is priced PER PET. Please contact us for pricing on the pet fee for this property.

Don’t forget your linens! Unless otherwise indicated, linens are not provided during your stay. You are welcome to bring your own linens or we provide a linens rental service for your convenience.

Also, our vacation homes do not have many of the consumable items in stock for guest use (i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc.). Once you book your vacation, we’ll provide you with a list of items that you may want to consider bringing with you on your vacation.

Perfect Oceanfront
Virtually everything was new or close to new, superbly maintained, and perfectly clean.. Top grade appliances that all worked well. Extremely well furnished and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!
