North Topsail Gem

Perfect home and location right on the beach! Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and did I mention, it’s right on the beach! The hosts are so nice and easy to communicate with. This was our 3rd stay at this lovely home in the last 4 years so it feels like a home away from home! We hope to stay here again !

Lovely, Lovely House!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the only complaint we have is that the fish weren't biting the week we were there! The home was exceptionally clean and ready for us at the promised check-in time. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the sheets and towels provided with the house were of top quality. It was especially convenient to use the beach towels provided with the house, and the full-size washer and dryer was such a great accessory. We enjoyed sunrises from the ocean-front covered porch and sunsets over the intercoastal waterway from the roadside porch. The outside water hose and separate shower area was great for rinsing off after spending the day on the beach, and it was nice to be able to rinse off the ocean spray from our cars with the water hoses provided underneath the house. We hope to rent again in 2025!

Fantastic Oceanside Getaway

This property is exactly as advertised. It is a super short walk down your own private walk-way to the beach. The house is gorgeous! Beautifully decorated, the beds were soft and comfortable, and both "adult" bedrooms had views of the ocean / beach. Great water pressure in the showers and kitchen sink. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to cook. Plenty of space for the 8 of us (4 adults and 4 children from 3yo to 6yo). I hate to say it, but you will not regret booking and staying here (and I only hate to say it because then it might not be available the next time we want to book). Thank you, Kolleen (and family) for letting us stay in your fantastic beach home!!

Great house and great hosts!

My family has a wonderful time and Kolleen was an amazing host. Great communication even before I booked the house. Great food recommendations. We had a slight maintenance issue and she took care of it ASAP. The house was wonderful, just off the main street so it can get noisy. Other than that it was fantastic! Fit our small extended family well.

Perfect Beach House for a Family Vacation

We absolutely loved staying here - from booking, to check to check out, everything was simple and easy. The house was BEAUTIFUL! The views were amazing. There was everything we could have needed and more - the outside shower was a bonus for the kids after a day at the beach, the beds were extremely comfortable and the entire house was so clean. Best place we have stayed on the island and will be returning

The perfect beach house!

This was our first trip to Topsail and we absolutely loved it! The house was perfect. Everything was updated, it was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of towels, super comfortable beds, the location was amazing! I loved how secluded the beach was and how it was just right outside the door. I spent a lot of my time on the deck with our 3 month old but I still felt like I was right on the beach. The outdoor shower with hot water was a plus. My son (3 years) thought it was so cool to take a shower outside. We enjoyed our stay and have already looked ahead for when we can return!

Wonderful home

Had a lovely stay at Kolleen’s home. Everything is kept super organized and spotless. Having some starter essentials is a nice treat. Great beach front location - very quiet. We loved the one floor layout having a little one. Beds were very comfortable and everything was so well maintained. Kolleen was very responsive if any questions. Would definitely look to rebook if ever in north topsail again!

Perfect spot for two families to get together

This property was wonderful. My wife and I were able to take our kids and get together with friends and their kids for the first time since the pandemic hit. The home was setup perfect for us with 2 masters and 2 kids rooms and a Jack and Jill style bathroom for each. The Kitchen was well supplied and able to allow for making a nice Easter dinner. And the property was perfect for Easter egg hunts and sand castles galore. The relaxing beach getaway we were looking for.

About the host

Hosted by Kolleen Losch

Host profile image
We are Jason and Kolleen Losch, owners of this property since 2018. Complete renovation was completed in May 2019. We primarily reside in Milton, Ga just north of Atlanta. We have 5 grown children. We love to go to the beach ourselves! We love North Topsail for the beach, the surf and the beachtown pace!

Why they chose this property

High Dunes and Natural Privacy: The high dunes are not only a natural barrier that adds to your privacy but also offer incredible views. They create a peaceful, serene setting, shielding you from the more crowded areas of the island. This means fewer people, less noise, and more space to enjoy the beach, making your property feel like a secluded paradise.

Full-Time Neighbors: The presence of full-time residents creates a sense of community and stability. This is something that many seasonal beach destinations lack, giving your neighborhood a more personalized, homey feel. You’re surrounded by people who care about the area and are invested in keeping it well-maintained, which adds to the charm and appeal of the location.

Privacy and Expansive Beach: Since the public beach is farther away, you get the benefit of fewer tourists and more uninterrupted beachfront to enjoy. This adds a sense of exclusivity to your property, as you’re able to enjoy the sand and surf without worrying about crowds. It’s ideal for peaceful walks, beach sports, or just relaxing in a more intimate setting with family and friends.

These elements together create a unique beachfront experience in North Topsail, offering both natural beauty and privacy while maintaining a sense of community with your neighbors. This combination likely makes your house not just a vacation spot, but a true sanctuary where you can escape the hustle and bustle of more tourist-heavy areas.

What makes this property unique

Immaculately Maintained Inside and Out: A well-maintained home speaks volumes about its care and attention to detail. It ensures a comfortable, welcoming environment for anyone who stays there. The fact that both the interior and exterior are kept in pristine condition means the home retains its beauty and functionality, providing a luxurious, worry-free experience for visitors. This level of upkeep sets your house apart from others that may show signs of wear and tear, especially in beachside properties where the elements can be harsh.

Direct Access to the Beach: Having direct access to the beach is a game-changer. It’s a rare and coveted feature, offering the convenience of stepping right from your house onto the sand without having to navigate busy public beach access points. This makes your home feel like a private retreat where the ocean is practically at your doorstep, ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the beach whenever they wish.

Together, these factors—immaculate maintenance and direct beach access—make our beach house a special place for relaxation, comfort, and coastal enjoyment, offering both privacy and effortless access to the beauty of North Topsail.
