Guest Access:
You'll have the entire house to yourselves — both living areas, all three bedrooms, the kitchen, and the decks. Check-in is self-service with a smart lock, so there's no coordinating a key handoff around traffic or flight delays. The community pool, private pier, and gazebo are open to guests seasonally, Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend; the HOA sets hours outside that window.
The Neighborhood:
You're on the sound side of North Topsail Beach, part of Topsail Island's 26 miles of quiet, undeveloped shoreline — no boardwalk, no high-rises, just dunes and a slower pace. Beach access is a five-minute walk down 11th Ave.

• Jolly Roger Pier — fishing pier and inn, ~10 min
• Rodney Knowles Park — sound-side deck, picnic area, ~10 min
• Richard C. Peters Park — playground, nature trail, two fishing piers, ~10 min

Bring the car for grocery runs, but plan to park it most of the week — this stretch of the island is made for walking to the water.
Getting Around:
The neighborhood is compact and walkable, making it simple to explore on foot. Many attractions, like the beach and nearby amenities, are just a short walk away.
For those looking to explore further, renting a bike is a great option, as the area is bike-friendly with scenic routes. If you prefer driving, there are plenty of parking options available, and local roads are easy to navigate.
For dining and shopping, a quick drive will take you to nearby restaurants, cafes, and stores. Additionally, there are local services like boat rentals and fishing charters, allowing you to fully enjoy the coastal experience.
