About this property

Luxurious Oceanside w/pool, elevator, 6 BR, steps from the sand and surf



Elegant oceanside house on a gorgeous ocean front property in upscale North Topsail, just a short driving distance from Surf City and Sneads Ferry. This is one of the most exclusive and serene locations on the island. It is part of a private luxury community that is not open to public access.

This particular unit is an end unit, and a taller high rise which gives you immaculate, views (Definitely the next best thing to being oceanfront). It is part of a small, intimate community that will make it easy for children, teens, and adults to meet other families vacationing in the area, and make friendships that can last a lifetime.

This part of the beach is secluded and quiet, giving you and your family excellent beach access. The beach itself is very clean, and offers plenty of space for you and your family to spread out and relax by the sea. There are breathtaking beach views from both the front and back decks, allowing you pristine views of both the sunrise over the ocean and sunset over the sound. (See photos) You can actually see the waves from the living area, and from the kitchen while eating or cooking, or even while enjoying an evening in the hottub on the top balcony. You can even see the sun rise over the ocean while lying in your comfortable oceanfront bedroom, or relaxing on any of the 6 private balconies. 3 of the 6 are privately attached to individual bedrooms.

Not only is it furnished for supreme comfort, it is spacious and is decorated to make you feel completely at ease and relaxed from the moment you walk in. We made this our home away from home and it is decorated that way. The high top resin deck chairs make sitting on the deck like sitting on a thrown. The view is breathtaking. A centralized elevator makes it easy for guests to unload luggage and groceries, or move from one floor to the next.

The property has an enormous, oceanfront, community pool reserved for community members only, and sits on a private and secluded section of North Topsail Beach. The home has its own private parking and beach access (no streets to cross of course because you are on an ocean front lot already). Ample parking space will allow you and your guests to park comfortably, easily accommodating 6 or more cars, with a 2 car covered garage. You just couldn't find a better location.

This home is newly built in 2020, originally as the private residence of the builder, and purchased in June to serve as a rental property. It features top of the line appliances, furniture, and stunning upgraded accents. It is tastefully decorated and features quality fixtures and flooring. There is a well appointed kitchen and comfortable furniture throughout the home. You will be amazed at the quality of the granite and tilework. (Many upgrades that are definitely not typical in a rental home!)

The home has WiFi (wireless internet), 7 TVs, including one personal television per bedroom, and a Blue Ray DVD in the main living area. A home office with two computer desks and superior comfort computer chairs is provided for the convenience of remote workers and digital learners. Sleeping accommodations include 2 king beds, 3 queen beds and 1 pyramid bunk bed.

Topsail is a great place for families and fun. Enjoy quiet relaxation of the ocean breeze, watching the surf from the comfy high top resin deck chairs or a moonlight walk on the beach. You can visit the local golf clubs for a quick round of golf, or the nearby marina for watersport rentals, or charter a deep sea fishing expedition.

The home has a private access to the beach directly in front of your door. This access is for villas drive rentals only. Enjoy watching the children play on the beach right from your deck or fish off the beaches right in front of your home. This property is also walking distance from the North Topsail Fishing Pier where you can fish for Spanish Mackerel, Spot, Blues, or many more. This pier is also a great place for an evening stroll with an incredible view.

Due to an upcoming change in the HOA rules, this house is now no longer pet friendly to guests.

Enjoy walking for literally miles on clean white beaches looking for prehistoric sharks teeth (Topsail is one of the few areas on the east coast where they are easily found) or gather shells or 'sea beans' (small polished pebbles) for your collection. Visit the famous Sea Turtle Hospital here on the Island (one of the only hospitals of its kind on the East Coast) or stop at one of our local shops and pick up some fresh homemade fudge, pies or seafood.

Not As Advertised

I booked this home 9 months before our stay. During the booking process I sent a message to the host (with no response) expressing our family's love for Topsail and switching houses this year specifically for use of the elevator, as many in our party are aging and one is legally disabled. We also knew we would be bringing an infant on our trip this year. The host called me Thursday before our stay on Saturday. I was unable to answer the phone, so returned his call Friday as we were traveling to the island. He proceeded to tell me the elevator was not working and there may be an issue with the front door. I expressed how upset I was that we gave up our oceanfront house we've rented for years to stay in this one with the elevator only to discover on our way there it was broken. The host suggested we keep those that had difficulty walking on the lowest sleeping level. Not only was this condescending, but ridiculous given the kitchen is on the fourth floor. Thankfully a repairman was able to come out near the end of our stay and (mostly) repair the elevator, at least enough to use it for carrying luggage. It only cost me an entire day of my vacation to stay in the house while the repairs were completed. The repairman also informed me they had known about the issue for an entire month prior. When the elevator repairman was leaving, someone else was in the garage of the property to fix the lock on the front door. I was not told he would be there. Garage was full of junk-mattresses,

Very comfortable

We appreciated the quality of the mattresses and that linens were all included. It’s not really a cooking kitchen but had enough essential gear to make a big breakfast. Getting to the beach was easy. The owner was great about providing info and replying to the one question I had during our trip. We would happily return!

Overall it was a beautiful home and we would stay there again! Gave 4 stars only due to little things like many burnt out light bulbs, mattresses dip in middle, dirty fridge water and a burner on the stove didn’t really work.

Week at Topsail Beach

The location of the house is ideal with the beach only a few yards away. Four of the six bedrooms have decks- (2 look towards Ocean). Entry to the house is at the garage level. There are 3 bedrooms on each of the next two floors. . The shared space ( kitchen, dining room and living room ) is on the top floor of the house.There is an elevator, but we were told not to use it because it needed repair. The house owner let me know that the elevator could not be repaired before the end of the stay. The house is lovely, but there are some essential items should be replaced. The dish washer does not clean properly. .When we arrived, there were dishes in the dishwasher that were not clean. We ran the dish washer but it was not effective . After that, we took turns cleaning the dishes by hand. There were only 3 stemless wine glasses and one stemmed wine glass in the house. We purchased plastic cups to use during our stay. To use the grill would have required that we undertake a major cleaning job. Check-in instructions are that if you use the grill you replace the propane and clean it when you leave. We did not use the grill. When we checked out we saw a maintenance person at the next house cleaning the grill at the next home and filling it with propane which seems ideal.

The elevator was so helpful, tons of parking, beautiful views, pristine beach with lots of shells only steps away, great pool, warm hot tub, comfortable beds, super clean, a high chair and pack n play for my 2 year old…. So many good things to say. We hope to come back.

Wonderful Experience

Description about the house was very accurate, even better than we had hoped! It more than accommodated our family of 12. Our Host was so courteous, prompt and helpful. The home is beautifully located with a community pool and jacuzzi at the house this was a perfect addition to an already nice home. The suggestions given in the binder for great places to eat was extremely helpful! I suggest both Rick's and the restaurant at SPLASH by the SEA (next door and walking distance) . Reservations at both places will be needed during peak time. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for meals in house . It is an understatement we had a very relaxing vacation and wonderful experience .

About the host

Hosted by Thomas McKissick

Host profile image
Tom and Christina McKissick reside only a few hours away, in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, on a small farm with their two Labradoodles and their Australian Shepherd. Tom works as a Realtor, and Christina works as a middle school social studies teacher and former cheerleading coach

With Christina as a middle school teacher, and Tom an Army Veteran, the McKissicks understand the value of a rejuvinating and relaxing vacation. Christina and her family have been visiting the beaches on Topsail Island for generations, and consider it the perfect home away from home. When Christina married Tom in 2017, they began their own vacations here as a new family, and found that it was the perfect place to get away from the stresses and demands of everyday life. They have created many lasting memories here on this island, and want nothing more than to allow other families to do the same. With a baby on the way, they hope to create even more special memories as they raise their daughter to appreciate the sand and sea as much as they do. Christina's parents, Ted and Debbie Waltz, have been working in the rental industry for years, and it has always been something that has interested Tom and Christina. There is nothing better than knowing that you helped a family find the perfect rental for their perfect vacation in order to create memories that will last a lifetime. When this duplex became available, the opportunity to work alongside Ted and Debbie, presented itself, allowing the McKissicks to share the knowledge and wealth of experience from the Waltzs in order to provide their guests with an incredible vacation experience that you will not find anywhere else. Working as partners, the McKissicks and the Waltzs will continue to uphold the exceptional standards of their 8 additional 5-Star rentals.

Why they chose this property

Thomas and Christina have been looking for the perfect house to live out their dream as beach property owners. The superior build quality and prime location of this house made it an easy decision. Originally designed to be the builder's personal residence, there are upgrades that would not be found in a traditional rental house, that create the ideal environment for a luxurious and relaxing vacation. With the elegance and tranquil setting that North Topsail has to offer, they couldn't imagine a more perfect location.

What makes this property unique

There are many wonderful characteristics that set this house apart from the rest, including upgraded amenities and a design focused on comfort. In addition to all of the unique attributes mentioned in the full rental description, this house is part of an exclusive community with a meticulous HOA that holds each property to resort standard expectations. The grounds are well-maintained, protecting the experience for renters and residents alike. This area is not an area frequented by day-trippers, allowing you to avoid the chaos and disruption caused by high traffic areas. In addition this house is central to many different community resources for both water sports and leisure sports, including the North Shore country club which is the only local golf resort open to the public. You are also within an easy driving distance of the Marina, where you can rent jetskis for the family, or charter a deepsea fishing expedition. The Seaview Fishing Pier is a short walk down the beach, where you can take a romantic nighttime stroll, or try your hand at fishing off the atlantic. Above all, the greatest aspect of this house that truly makes it the premier destination for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation is the incredible experience of sitting on your own private balcony, watching the waves come in to shore, or the sunset over the sound. There is nothing like it anywhere else on the Island.
