About this property

Sandy Turtle - Oceanfront w/ Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator & Backyard. Amazing Views!

Just steps from the pristine beaches of North Topsail!

Oceanfront Duplex. 5 BR / 4 BA / Sleeps 12. Community Pool, uncrowded and shared by only 6 homes, many less than others on the island that share 10 to 20 homes or more! (COMMUNITY POOL IS NOT A HEATED POOL AND IS OPEN APR 1 - OCT 31), Elevator, Private Hot Tub, Internet, 6 Smart TVs, and Surround Sound. One of the few oceanfront lots to also feature a BACKYARD green space!

Enjoy beautiful sunrises and spectacular ocean views in this 5 bedroom professionally decorated oceanfront home. A full-home elevator makes it easy to bring in groceries and luggage. The elevator goes to the TOP floor master bedroom, unlike many others stop at the main level.

This Surfside Villas duplex offers unobstructed views, tranquility and a privately-owned hot tub with additional deck seating. Enjoy a Surround Sound System with in ceiling speakers on the main floor and a receiver that connects via Bluetooth & WiFi to stream virtually any audio from your smartphone or tablet.

After spending the day on the pristine beach, take advantage of the spacious hot/cold outdoor shower to rinse off.

This home also features a very large backyard green space. This is VERY rare and is a great space for grilling, playing games (waffle ball, soccer, volleyball, cornhole, etc.) or just to let the kids run while you relax on the deck and watch!

The family room is on the first floor and is equipped with a large Smart TV. For an unexpected rainy day, the home is stocked with plenty of books, games, and puzzles to occupy guests of all ages.

You'll be impressed with the well-equipped kitchen, with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, a large island to gather around and a dining table that seats 10. Also on the first floor is a King Master bedroom with a walk-in shower.

On the second floor is a King Master bedroom with a private bath and a Queen bedroom, both with ocean views and a walk out furnished deck. A third bedroom features a Twin over Full bunk bed with trundle. This room is also equipped with a Smart Blu-ray DVD player.

The Master bedroom occupies the 3rd floor and has a King bed, private deck, and a walk-in shower. All 5 bedrooms have a Smart TVs and there is strong WiFi throughout the home.

This property has several very RARE AND UNIQUE things that make it one of the best on the island. Compare these before booking other properties!

• The elevator goes all the way to the TOP floor master bedroom. Many other houses do not.

• The very large BACKYARD green space is a rare find on the beach. Kids and adults alike love the space to run and play - close to the house and pool so adults can relax on the deck and see the kids in a safe, close area.

• The houses are angled - this means while sitting at the dining room table you are looking straight at the OCEAN and NOT the side of the neighbors house!

• The beaches are not VERY uncrowded since there is no public parking in immediate area and there are only 6 houses in the development. Some other townhomes have 20+ homes that overcrowd the pool and beach. Not here!

5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 3 kings, 1 queen, pyramid bunk bed with twin trundle, 6 smart TV’s, internet, private hot tub, grilling area, community pool.

Fresh linens & bath towels are provided by a linen service. A required linen fee applies. Beds are not made prior to arrival. We do not provide beach towels.

We make sure there is toilet paper in each bathroom, and bags in the trash cans to start you off.

Nice place

Nice decor, which was a big reason I chose this duplex. Very clean and quiet, there was no one in the other half while we were there. Plenty of beach stuff (chairs, boogie boards, sand toys). We had to put the sheets on the beds, not ideal if you get in late and tired but at least you know they’re clean! Personally thought there were a lot of requirements for checkout, like all bedding stripped and stuffed in a bag, dishes washed and put away out of dishwasher… and I thought the property manager could’ve been more friendly, although he did respond quickly to my one question. Overall nice place for the 7 of us.

Family Trip

Great place to stay! Beautiful view from all rooms. We were looking for something that could accommodate babies, young adults and grandparents. The elevator was perfect for grandparents going up and down. Place was very clean and there was games for the kids. Beach was very peaceful and not too crowded. Great food nearby!

September Getaway at Topsail Beach

The property is great to accommodate up to 10 people. Bedroom and baths are well equipped and beds are all comfortable. Elevator is a blessing for seniors. Property manager is incredibly helpful and available. Beach is really nice and close. We may stay again. Good value.

Perfect vacation

The home was lovely, well-appointed and had a perfect layout for our needs. The elevator was wonderful for my 80 yr old parents. The only complaint was the pool. One of the other homes had a large family and they took over the pool, using large rafts and floats which made it difficult for others, outside of their party, to swim comfortably. Since it is a shared pool, maybe floats and rafts should be prohibited in the future. We did have one day without a/c on the 2nd floor, but that was resolved quickly. The location was perfect. The proximity to the ocean was perfect. The balconies were awesome and we had perfect weather for our stay. We will definitley try to reserve this property for our vacation next year.

Stay

Overall a great vacation and we so enjoyed the home, the hot tub and the pool. There were just a few things that we think you may want to know. There were ants in a few of the beds. The bedroom on the top floor had lots of ants on the bedside table.l closest to the door as well as in the bed and ants in the bedroom on the 3rd floor with the bathroom. My husband also pulled bottle caps and pop can tabs from the garage disposal. We noticed this the first day there but was able to get them all out and he got the disposal working. No other issues at all. We beautiful home and had everything we needed. Thank you!

Great Home & Location, But Non-Functional Elevator

We loved everything about this home except that we chose it because it had an elevator, which we really needed, and the elevator stopped working right after we moved in. My husband recently had two hip replacements, and my daughter had to carry a baby up 3 flights of stairs constantly, so this was a major discomfort to them. In addition to not working, it beeped every hour all night for 4 nights, disrupting everyone's sleep. We had a 7 month old on the third floor and two 4 year olds, so by the 4th day everyone's nerves were rattled. The property manager, Bob, was there several times and did his best to remedy the situation, finally disconnecting the battery to make the beeping stop, since the elevator company was unavailable for repairs. There was also a broken vent in the dryer, which tore up my daughters clothing, which Bob quickly repaired and gave us a $150.00 gift card to a local restaurant, which was nice. We realize there is nothing an owner can do to keep an elevator from acting up, but what would have been an AWESOME 5 star stay, turned out to be rather exhausting.

Very nice. Consistent with the reviews.

A couple concerns we had before the week...that proved to be non-issues: We thought there might be noise coming through the common wall. Nope. Never heard the neighbors. This place is one of six that shares a small poo. We thought it might be crowded. Nope. Yes, the pool capacity is on the low side, but it was never crowded. Not suitable for lap swimming, but great for our kids....aged 2 - 10. The only negative I can think of that may be an issue for some was the wifi. If you really need a fast internet connection, this might be a problem. General comments: The property manager, Bob, was excellent. We had a small problem when we got there and Bob was on site within a couple hours after I called . Also, Bob was very responsive online leading up to our arrival. Very good guy to deal with. We're an extended family of ten and the common area (kitchen, dining and living areas) were not huge, but plenty of room for us...especially the ten-seat dining table. We've never had an elevator before. In fact, I never even thought about an elevator in a vacation home. This one was great. It extended from the ground level all the way up to the top (third) floor. It made settling in and packing up a breeze. Great location, great beach with very easy access, nicely furnished, excellent condition. Thanks for a great week.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay. It was a beautiful property as advertised. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made it easy to cook meals for 8 people. There was plenty of room, so we didn't feel crowded. We loved having the beach steps away. Great views and we loved sitting out on the decks in the evenings. The elevator was a bonus. Thank you for a great property.

40th Anniversary trip w/ the Family

House was nice and clean. Loved being steps from the beach! Hot tub was a nice touch in the evening, to rejuvenate for the next day with the grand kids. Was a little worried about it being a duplex but our neighbors on all sides were nice, and quiet in the evenings. Overall wonderful trip with the family.

Beach bonanza

Three generations enjoyed a sun and surf filled week filled with early morning walks and evening spent watching for a turtle hatch a short walk up the beach. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and views from the porch of the Atlantic. I highly recommend this home for a large family. They will have a ball, we certainly did.

Fantastic house in a great location!

This house is exactly as it looks in the listing - gorgeous! It is beautifully decorated and things are thoughtfully labeled throughout. There were 6 adults and 4 children in our multi-generational family group and it never felt crowded. There was a large group in the other half of the building but we never heard them through the walls. The location is excellent as the beach was never crowded - just scattered groups - and it is very residential, not commercial. The kids had a great time hunting (& finding) shark's teeth and riding the waves. The elevator seemed a little over the top but it turned out to be a tremendous convenience when unloading and loading upon arrival and departure. Great for hauling groceries & garbage too. Bob, the property manager, was very responsive. We sent him a message as there were only 4 beach chairs and one was not usable and he promptly brought us 5 beautiful new chairs! It was a hot week so we never tried the hot tub but I imagine it too was very well maintained. There is an amazing selection of games, puzzles and children's books which came in handy early each morning to keep the kids entertained before hitting the beach. It is only 10 minutes to a grocery store and liquor store. It is nice to have the pool as an option, especially for the littles in our group. Note that beach towels are not supplied. We drove so were able to bring some. The towels supplied are one bath towel, one hand towel and one washcloth per person so you wouldn't be able to use those for the pool or beach. Not a major inconvenience by any means but good to know before you go. Also, there is no hair dryer if you need one. We would definitely return to this gorgeous property!

Great house!

We had a great time and the owners was very quick to respond to any issues. The only thing I thought was a little odd was the check in and check out. I have never had to meet people at the house to do a walk through before we stayed somewhere. And for check out I have never stayed at a Vrbo house that I had to wash and dry and put away all the dishes and basically clean the house before I left. Other than that it was a great place to stay.

Paradise

I recently stayed at this beautiful home with my husband, my Mom, and my teenage nephew for the month of March. It was the most relaxing month! And, it was BEAUTIFUL weather! It was sunny and in the 70s the majority of the time we were there. My nephew went swimming in the ocean, running on the beach, played football and volleyball on the beach at least once every day. He was doing school on-line and was on the beach during every break he had. My husband and I worked from the beach. We converted one of the bedrooms with an ocean view to my office. I had conference calls throughout the day, with the door open, watching the waves and dolphins swim by, feeling the ocean breeze on my face. And, when I wasn't on calls, I worked from the balcony with the sunshine beaming down on me. It was awesome! I was genuinely surprised how much less stressful work was when I was feeling the ocean breeze and watching the waves crash. The hot tub was a HUGE hit as well! All four of us got in almost every night. The stars were bright and the breeze was perfect in the hot tub! We also found favorite restaurants and things to do, even though it was off season. We loved the Ocean's Edge restaurant in the hotel down the road. And, had a blast doing the Topsail Escape Room. So fun! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. The elevator was a great plus! We used it every day. My husband and I loved walking along the beach. There are so many beautiful shells and the sand is super soft. I highly recommend taking extended time to come stay here, get some sunshine, and destress. We drove back home to VA this past weekend to snow at our home. We miss the sunshine already!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Melchers

Host profile image
We have been vacationing in North Topsail Island for 15+ years with family and friends, and have created so many memories that we finally decided to become home owners. We are happy to share our home with you to create special memories with your family and friends. We always strive to provide a top notch experience for our guests and our property manager is available and personally attentive, unlike many other "large company" rental managers!

Why they chose this property

North Topsail Beach is a great place to vacation. It offers uncrowded beaches in a small town feel. It's a great place to relax and enjoy with family. The beach views and gorgeous home layout are what attracted us to this home.

What makes this property unique

Nothing beats being directly in front of the ocean for the most amazing sunrise views and dolphin watching right from the deck. The backyard is such a huge plus for us as well. Sometimes the kids just want to run and play outside while we are on the deck. The pool is also great and close enough that its super easy to walk to, but NOT right in front of the house where noise is an issue.
