About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Almost ocean front! Now taking monthly bookings for jan- March. 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.

A Few Things
Overall, we did enjoy our stay for four nights at your property however, I did find very long strand of hair on one of the blankets as I use them to keep warm. I also feel that use shower door in the bathroom more hygienic than a use of a shower curtain. I would definitely refer your property to anyone that was looking to visit surf city in the future.

Long weekend stay
My wife, dog and I came here for a long weekend. Property was as described. Great location, with a wonderful view of the ocean from the balcony. Loved that the beach was so close and shops and restraunts were all within walking distance, which was our way of getting around for the weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

My pup and I had a great time. Loved the townhouse which was equipped with everything you would need from charging cords, to snacks, beach towels, chairs and more. I spent time on the back porch which has a view of the ocean which was great. It's not ocean front but you could sit drink your coffee and watch the surfers in the early morning riding the waves from the porch. You won't be disappointed if you were to rent this place.

Surf City Oct get away
We had a great stay, the weather was beautiful, and the beach not crowded. As usual the place was clean and well stocked. A home away from home. Fur babies enjoyed the trip also. Pipa is a wonderful host that reached out to ensure we had no issues, Christine also reached out to ensure we had eveything we needed and to let us know to contact her if we needed anything. Cant wait till the next trip.

Great VRBO!
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! Thanks for an amazing stay!

Wonderful property and owners
Overall our stay was amazing! I stayed last year at the same property (different owner) and Pippa has really impressed me. She had everything there for us we would possibly need, even beach towels! Loved how she even had dog bowls and treats there as well. We did have a problem with the lock on the front door. In the middle of our stay it just quit working. Pippa and the property manager, Christine, were on it right away. Communication was top notch! We enjoyed our stay so much we booked the property for the same week for next year! Thank you for being such amazing hosts and we can't wait to come back next year!

Stairs marred Stay
This unit has a convenient location and is close enough to the water to enjoy the sight and sound of the ocean. The bedrooms are on the level where you enter the unit with the living area being on the up a flight of wooden stairs. The stairs are slippery. We have an older std poodle that is still very active. He had problems slipping on these steps with us holding onto his harness. It was bad enough he did not want to go down these steps. Unfortunately do the the layout of the unit and the limited space downstairs we had to take him upstairs. He has gone up and down stairs every place we have lived. Now that he is older we simply hold onto to his harness as we go up and down stairs without any problems. The stairs are not pictured on the web so that prospective renters can be aware when making their rental decision which is wrong. We made the owner aware of the problem, however nothing was offered. Putting a runner up the stairs or putting carpet on the tread surface would be relatively inexpensive and should improve the situation and hopefully this will be done. Otherwise the unit is satisfactory.

Updates looked great
Very Clean with new furniture, beds, linens, and fridge really make the place look great. The gift basket with a bottle of champagne, chocolates, and other snacks was a very nice surprise. Place is well stocked, with coffee pods and machine, beach chairs, umbrella, We had a wonderful stay as usual. Checkin was super easy and communication as always was great. This is our go to place for beach get aways. Convient to everything, steps to the beach, ocean view from deck (great place for morning coffee) and pet friendly with treats, water and food bowls, blankets, poop bags on ring with flashlight (comes in real handy at night) and kennel. We had a wonderful relaxing time. If you are looking for a great escape to the beach for fun, sun, and relaxation that is not over crowded look no further. You will not be disappointed.
