Just a few steps to the sand! Pet friendly. “Sea Life” A well decorated, pet friendly, ocean view townhome in a convenient location just walking distance to the pier, restaurants, bars and shops, with its own private, covered parking for two vehicles. How you interpret ‘sea life’ is down to you! It may be the wonderful marine life on the island that you’ll spot, the shells you collect, the life on the beach around you - whatever you find brings you happiness and a sense of fulfilment at the ocean. This is one of the most popular locations on the island! The home is on an ocean front lot. You can see it has two duplexes built in front of it but you still have a great ocean and beach view to your left, right and straight ahead. You are only a number of steps to the sand! You can sit out on the high top deck chairs, and enjoy the scenery. Plus as an extra bonus you can clearly see the waves, and often dolphins, from the kitchen and living area. Guests love this location as the home is on a quiet street. It’s very rare there’s any street noise so you can hear the ocean at night too! We have a wonderful private beach access for the townhomes to use and it’s literally steps from the front door. There is no road to cross to the beach and you are almost on the beach due to being on an ocean front lot already! You will not need to carry the beach gear far that's for sure. So much easier if you have little ones or your dogs with you. Bed linens, Bath towels, wash cloths, hand towels, along with all the necessary items such as hair dryers, paper towels, trash bags, cleaning sprays, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet paper and washing detergents are all provided for you with no limit! Plus beach chairs, loungers, Beach towels, umbrella, beach toys, and a beach blanket. We even provide a furry friends kit if you are bringing along your pet- dog bowls, poop bags, dog blankets, a medium/ small crate and of course some tasty treats are all there for your dog. It's their vacation too right!? All this is included in your stay at no extra cost to you! The home has 3 smart TVs including one 65” screen with 125 channels including ESPN. The kitchen is fully equipped with all items you will need if you decide to cook in and enjoy the ocean view on an evening. There is a water boiler, coffee machine and a keurig and pods. The home has a king bed in the ocean side bedroom, a queen and twin in the second bedroom on the quiet roadside with the washing machine and dryer. I feel the size of the home would best suit families of up to 3-5 people. The kitchen, dining and living area is upstairs. There’s one flight of stairs to access this area in the house, and there are stairs outside from the carport up to the front door. The two bedrooms and bathroom are on the lower floor. The unit is 978 sq foot. We have had this rental just over a year and refurbished it at the start of 2023\. We have changed most of the furniture and decor and added everything you need- if you have stayed at the home before please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have. We are very excited to host you in 2024- we have been having vacations on Topsail island for many years and adore the island. We want you to enjoy our new home and Topsail Island as much as we do. We have the most wonderful, thorough cleaning/ hospitality manager who we are very lucky to have so we hope to provide you with an amazing stay. Topsail really is a special place- the beach is amazing, very relaxing and there's plenty to see and do for all types of beach fanatics! Lastly we ask to report any items broken or not working. We stay at the house regularly to keep an eye on things and need to know about any problems so we can fix them for our next guests. We take immense pride in the home and want it to be enjoyed by all. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi (surcharge) ### Parking and transportation -

The owner communicated all along the way and even gave us a late check out so we could explore as long as possible! The water at this beach is SO blue and we found a lot of shark’s teeth in the surf.

Oct 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Beach Getaway Maybe the best thing I can say about this rental is that it was exactly as advertised. “Almost” ocean front, with just enough of a view of the water to enjoy it, and honestly closer to the water than many rentals we’ve had that were technically ocean-front. It is a great location that is walking distance to many great dinner and breakfast spots, and the setup is perfect for a family looking for a low-effort beach getaway. We enjoyed it so much that we immediately booked a return visit for this spring! ##### Mitch S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael T.

Our family needed some beach therapy and we happened to find this place on VRBO in a beach town we’ve never visited before. Pippa was easy to communicate with and Christine (the property manager) sent me a text the day of and was easy to get a hold of if needed. The place was exactly as described, awesome location to the beach, and great views of the ocean. We walked almost every where we went. It was a very quiet and relaxing vacation. Our kids loved that they each had their own bed and our pup enjoyed visiting the ocean for the first time. The king bed was also very comfortable! We will definitely be back!
