This was our first trip to Topsail. This home is located in a quiet area on a dead end street before you get to the center town area. Location to the beach was good but a little further than we thought. We thought access was directly at end of street but thatâs a private access. When you reach the end of the street you make a right and walk a block down, cross a busy street to the public access where there are stairs to navigate. Something to keep in mind if you have a wagon full of stuff for a beach day. We never could find any access at the end of the street for the sound side. Looked like it was all private property. There was 1 key that went to back door only. Not a big deal but it would be more convenient having a key that opens the side door which is the main door to enter the home. Inside the layout was good and the house was comfortable and clean. We did notice a lot of carpenter ants outside and the deck is in need of some work. There is a heavy comforter on the queen bed. I like sleeping with more than a sheet but it was too heavy and I woke up hot at night. The beach area is wonderful. Loved that we were able to take our dog on the beach. Overall we did have a good stay and I would recommend to others.
Julieâs cottage is wonderful, nested in the oaks and in a perfect location. Her property feels like a home. It is clean and has all you need. The kitchen has quality cookware. Best treat is Scoops in Topsail Beach! Looking forward to next year.
Very nice owners that communicate well if there are any issues. We really enjoyed every second here. Me, my mom, 11 yr old son & our 2 Goldendoodles love this place!!!
We love this place! Cozy, comfortable, a relaxing respite from the busy world. Access to the ocean and the sound canât be beat. Cottage is sparkling clean and has the most amazing screened porch up among the beautiful live oak tree branches.
We had a wonderful time. The home is located in a great neighborhood. It is very secluded however is close to everything. We had a great time cycling, kayaking and relaxing.
Property is located about 1/2 block from beach. Although at this time (Mar) the access was blocked due to some project on the beach, Property was comfortable, well lived in, does allow pets - so to be expected. Was surprised by last minute notification that I would need to bring towels and linens - or addâl charge. Owner was available by text - no issues with communication.
We really enjoyed the privacy of this property. Short walk to beach and lots of space! Very dog friendly and quiet neighborhood. Love the interesting oak trees everywhere..bed was very comfortable and full kitchen..thank you
Weâve been to Topsail Island, Carolina Beach and the Outer Banks dozens of times over the past 15 years. Nearly all were beachfront. This spot tops nearly all. Surrounded by oaks, yet 5 minutes by foot to the ocean, this makes you want to live at the beach rather than vacay. Highly recommended!
We loved staying here in 2022 so much we booked a 2 week stay this year. This property fits our family of five's needs perfectly! Love the short walk to the beach and bay! Beautiful trees make it nice and shaded and feels like you are staying in a treehouse!
Our family of four, and two German shepherds adored this property. We were so thankful to be able to bring our fur babies with us for their first beach trip. They loved it! The property is beautiful! The trees were gorgeous. Location is very close to the beach yet still secluded. We enjoyed the quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Will be back!!
My husband and i own and operate a cabinetry business in Hampstead, NC. We have been in business since 1979. We have two wonderful sons-- both are working with us now. As a family we have always loved the beach and the outdoors in general. My husband taught the boys to fish as soon as they could get in a boat and so we were always at the beach or on the sound as they were growing up. My husband loves fishing and I love the beach so when we found the cottage and bought it-- it became our project together. As a family we have put in many hours working on remodeling and fixing up what was an old and tired place. Now it is a place where we enjoy spending time with friends and family. We have celebrated many milestones at the beach-- everything from a fabulous 70's themed b-day party to a 60th birthday gathering for my husband this past summer. All are wonderful memories. There just is no truer form of relaxation than time spent at the beach. We cherish our time here and always look forward to coming back.
We came across our home on the island by chance but immediately fell in love with the location. The old live oak trees, quaint street and closeness to both the ocean and the sound made this a one of a kind get away home. The house itself needed work so after purchasing it we remodeled the entire interior and continue to improve the exterior as we can. This cottage has the most peaceful and beautiful setting, it truly gives you that 'tree house' feel. We begin to relax the moment we step out of the car.
The house is situated right in the midst of a maritime forest. It is close to both the ocean and the sound. The beach is just 80 yards away down the lane. You do cross over the street to get to the beach access but it is a private access. The unique thing about the beach access is that there are no houses on the beach front right at our beach. This makes it less crowded and really quite private to our street. There is also a ramp to the sound at the other end of the street. This ramp is just right for a jet ski or a kayak. Our area is also perfect for walking or biking as there are sidewalks and bike lanes.
