Amazing beach front 4 bedroom house Dog friendly children welcome gated deck

Answer to Prayer is an airy ocean front home that is just the ticket for enjoying Topsail Island up close and in style.

The house accommodates up to 8 guests with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Answer to Prayer is located at 122 Topsail Rd North Topsail Beach over the North High Rise Bridge to the island and 3 1/2 miles south. It is a short drive (4 miles) to downtown Surf City (and the new high rise bridge) for shopping and dining. A dog friendly, smoke free refuge for you, your family and friends is waiting.

You'll love the mornings. We like to get up early with a steaming cup of coffee and sit out on the deck. It's so quiet, but the beach is waking up. The waves crash on the shore, sea gulls gawk at one another.

A flock of pelicans come 'floating' on the winds as they cruise the tops of the waves looking for breakfast. The morning sun warms us up.

My husband decides he wants to go for a ride on his bike. He heads south on the bike shoulder lane waving at the friendly islanders driving in the early morning. After a good run to the southern part of the island, he gets off at the point to smell the jasmine and salt air.

As he heads back, he stops at "Seas the Day," a beach house owned by a friend of ours in Surf City. We have friends staying there who have come to Topsail Island the same week as us. After he greets them and visits for a while, he invites them to the barbecue we are planning that night.

While he is riding on his bike, I decide I will take a quick dip and swim a little. The water is chilly at first, but then the Caribbean kissed waters seem to warm up. After a workout, I climb back on the beach and then to take a shower. I decide that I will lay in the sun later. But first I want to do a little shopping at this absolutely darling clothes shop in Surf City.

I could go on and on about how much you'll enjoy Answer to Prayer, but I invite you to come and make your own vacation.

Nice 4 generation trip

This house is great for someone traveling with dogs. The gated deck was perfect for allowing our dogs to dry off after spending hours playing in the sand and ocean. Place was very nice and had everything that we needed. Hope to be making another trip back in the near future.

Bliss at the Beach

Return visit to Answer to Prayer. This is a single family gem amongst the endless duplexes and townhomes that have overtaken Topsail Island. The first days the beach was empty and the location of the property is excellent. Thanks for making this amazing home available.

Thanksgiving beach trip

We stayed here for our annual thanksgiving beach vacation and absolutely loved it. The house is very close to the ocean and the walk from the deck onto the beach was very easy. The house had everything we needed and the host was very helpful. Excellent place for a family or friends trip, would definitely recommend!
