Dog-friendly sound- & beach-view home with private heated pool, decks, AC & W/D
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests. Sun and fun are only minutes from this vacation home in North Topsail Beach. This darling home is perfectly positioned for beautiful Atlantic and waterway views. Take your pick from refreshing and warm sunrises or relaxing sunsets. High-speed WiFi is offered for anyone that needs to check on tee times at one of many local golf courses or find fun happenings on Topsail Island.
Around the back, on the ground level, you'll find an enclosed hot and cold shower for rinsing off. On the first level, you'll find two ocean-view bedrooms, two sound-view bedrooms, and a laundry room. Through the front door, you will enter the first family room. This space offers a sofa bed, comfy chairs, and a smart TV. A nearby door leads you outside to the lower ocean-view deck. The beautiful ocean views and breezes will take you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. An additional sleeping area is on the family room's right side.
Upstairs you'll find spacious living areas facing the beautiful waters of the Atlantic Ocean and waterway. Through the large picturesque windows, the views are simply captivating. The living room offers two seating areas and a large TV. Wake up early and enjoy that first cup of coffee at a bistro table by the picture windows. The kitchen lies between the living room and dining room and offers both ocean and waterway views. The kitchen has all-white major appliances, including a refrigerator with an ice maker, flattop stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Four stools sit at the bar, an excellent place for afternoon snacks. The dining room has incredible views of the Intra Coastal Waterway. Grill fresh seafood and enjoy dining at the wooden table. Across from the dining area is a digital nomad's dream office. If indeed you did bring your computer, WiFi is available. One bedroom offers access to the sound-view deck. Enjoy watching the active wildlife and boats travel up and down the waterway. The main bedroom sits on the ocean-view side and has a private bathroom. Wake up early, slip outside to the ocean-view deck, and indulge yourself with the breathtaking sunrises of Topsail Island.

Location, location, location
The home had beautiful unobstructed views of both the ocean and the sound which gave morning and afternoon shade. Having a large pool was a plus. The home fit our group of 16 very well.
Excellent location, construction next door was not an issue as it's nearly complete. Had to pay extra to heat the pool but it was worth it. Elevator works and there was a gas grill. Plenty of beds & bedrooms for our group of 4 adults and 6 kids. Kitchen was well stocked and checkout was a breeze.

would book again
The house gave our family of 14 plenty of space, beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked. The location of the house gave us the best of both worlds; ocean off the front porch, sound off the back! This also gave us front row seats to beautiful sunrises and sunsets! We would stay here again

Perfect family getaway!
Our family had a wonderful time here, with a little bit of something for everyone! The views of the ocean and sound were incredible. Kids loved the pool and access to the beach. Grandma loved the many relaxing sitting areas throughout the home. Dogs loved the fenced in yard. We all especially appreciated the elevator! Everything was clean and comfortable. We had everything we could need in this home away from home and hope to come back next year!

Sea and Sound Sandwich
This house was great overall and perfect for our family. Location to the beach was fantastic!! We had some issues with the pool getting clean and also had to deal with construction on the lot beside us. Dealing with Vacasa was painful but all in all the week was good.

Anniversary Trip
My parents were celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary by taking the whole family fishing. The house was spacious for our group and the location was great. I like the fact that every room did not have a TV which forces the family to enjoy each other. We even took family pictures at the house. The internet was a little spotty. Over all the home was beautiful, spacious and an ideal location.

July Family Vacation
Each summer our extended family vacation together in July at North Topsail. Sea and Sound by far was our favorite home on North Topsail. The views from both sides of the house are spectacular! We loved all the living space which is ideal for a large family with kids and teens. The pool was awesome after a full day at the beach. We did have some trouble with the 1st floor AC but both Vacasa and the homeowner worked to help remedy the situation. We are really looking forward to coming back in 2025!!

Perfect
We are locals and rented this house to accommodate for my family. Sea N Sound Sandwich is the name of the house and is nothing less than the perfect name. Location has amazing views. Has a pool and less than a minute walk over to the beach access. More than enough room for the amount of people we had stay at the house and what’s better than that? Being able to bring our pups along! Great space to hold a large group, has an extra fridge at the lower level, and thank goodness for that, because my family brought tons of food with them! Will recommend this place to family and friends. Will hopefully get a chance to rent and stay here again! Thanks for having us!

Great location
Beach access is close and easy. Comfortable beds, this home easily accommodates a large group. Our inquiries were addressed quickly, although some answers were incorrect (we were told no iron or ironing board so we brought our own, but there was one there) Elevator wasn’t working which would have been a huge help with heavy coolers and bags. There is also no elevator access from ground level. Early check in was not permitted even though cleaning service was finished well over 1 1/2 hours earlier. Instructions on check out procedures weren’t clear. Text said leave sheets on beds, email said strip beds.

Phenomenal Views
The views are fantastic! The house is large enough for a big group, but beware. One bedroom's mattress is hard as the ground and was rendered useless to every member of our group. The full sized bunks needed TLC (mattress, lack of slats) too. The TV situation was ridiculous-only a small choice of local channels. So disappointing when the weather was rainy. We had 5 kids and not one kid channel. The kitchen had enough dishes, pots, etc. for a large group. Make sure to bring your own spices, aluminum foil etc. though. Nothing was paid forward except a shaker of salt. The house accommodated our group, but we were disappointed about the bedroom and TVs that we had depended on. We enjoyed our week despite the disappointments.

Well-equipped house with spectacular views!
Overall, we loved the house and the location! The views were spectacular, and it was wonderful being across the street from a nice beach access. We loved that the deep covered deck in front allows you to sit in the shade with ocean views during the afternoon. The decks in the back were good for the morning (and sunsets) and provided a nice, shaded area near the pool in the afternoon. Great deck seating on both sides, and the breezes were sublime!
The kitchen is small, but they've maximized the space very thoughtfully, and it flows well. We all raved about how well stocked it was.
The pool was great, along with the outdoor shower and the grill. The fenced in area was perfect to let the dogs out for a bit.
Loved all the little sitting areas and nooks. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into the details. It was noticed and appreciated!
A couple of beds were uncomfortably firm, and the elevator was functional but temperamental.
Bookers should know that there is NO waterway/sound access. It's right there, and this row of houses obviously had access in the past, but no more. You do have a great view of huge schools of fish and kayaking areas that you can't access.

A Choice at the Beach
Some families come to the beach just for the ocean. They buy a large umbrella and chairs and spend hours reading and swimming. We choose the other option, enjoying the total cottage vacation experience. This year we set up a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle for everyone to enjoy. It was the first year that our son-in-law had a boat for riding enjoyment and fishing. The boat had a 5 person capacity. My son and I usually play a couple rounds of golf, but this year we missed out on the morning rounds and the weather was too hot for afternoon golf. We had 15 in our family this year including a very active 2 year old. The pattern is to cook in every other night offering shrimp, fresh corn on the cob, fried okra, tomatoes, peaches, cantalope, watermelon, homemade bread and pie with icecream. Some time at the beach was spent swimming and looking for shells and sharks teeth. We were thankful that the elevator was in good working order. The beautiful swimming pool was always an option, but we also played games and watched two movies. Sea and Sound Sandwich has been our choice for many years and we recommend it highly.

Love the views!
One of our favorite homes that serves are large family well.
My family had a great time and enjoyed this beach house. Everything was as expected and great location close to the beach. The pool was amazing for the kids. House had everything we needed for family beach trip.
The house was beautiful and clean. The pool was great for the whole family. The views of the ocean and sound were amazing! The elevator was perfect for my 86 year old mom and our friend who had a recent surgery. We had a wonderful family vacation!

Enjoyed the Ocean View!
Very much enjoyed the ocean and bay views during sunsets. The beach was right there, and the best part was it felt very secluded and not a lot of people. The pool was great for after beach trips with washing in the outdoor shower with hot water. The house had tons of beach toys and floats for us to use. It was a rainy week but the house had plenty of board games for the times we couldn’t grab beach sunrays. Great stay!

This property checks all the boxes
The location is excellent, scenic and glorious, front and back. The trek to the beach involves crossing a two lane road with traffic that is usually light, so an easy trip. The house is as described and pictured. Everything was clean and in working order.
We get our crews a house when they are out of town and they enjoyed this property, felt as they were home. Getting them a house vs a hotel room allows them to connect with each other, cook meals and save money. This house was perfect and the host was very johnny on the spot with responses. Thank you.
Very comfortable home with room for everyone! Well equipped kitchen and wonderful location! Even an elevator for our old folks. Plus our dog babies could come too!

Very nice.
The house had more than what was included in the description. Very good.
I highly recommend you pick a different place. 😉
Too bad they are doubling the rates for next year, we were going to book again for our family but it was too much. Would love to go back.
