About this property

Linens included - Amazing Views, Steps to Beach, Elevator and Fenced Yard

Welcome to "Josi Whales" Beach Cottage. This home is located on the South end of North Topsail on the NTB - Surf City line where there is plenty of beach, even at high tide. This home has a community beach access directly across the street.

This property was constructed in 2015 and is a 2,200 s.f. three story property with an elevator. The property has wonderful views of both the ocean and the sound and is next to the community swimming pool. The home is tastefully and well furnished with families in mind. The home is just steps away from the beaches of North Topsail Beach and Surf City. The house sleeps up to 10 people comfortably. Please note, that check-in and check-out occurs on Saturdays.

Vacationers will appreciate the high-speed mesh WiFi system. Families will be able to load your luggage and groceries into the elevator which accesses all floors. The first-floor level contains the first of two master bedrooms with ensuite, a wall-mounted flat screen TV, and deck w/ocean views. There is a second bedroom with a queen bed, wall-mounted flat screen TV, and deck w/ sound views. Also on this floor, you'll find a third bedroom with a bunk bed (twin over queen). This room has a flat screen TV mounted and a deck with sound views. This level includes a hall bathroom featuring a shower/tub, and a full-size high efficiency washer and dryer are also featured on this level.

The second floor contains a well-designed family room and kitchen with all of the amenities any family should require for a relaxing stay. There is an 85-inch SMART TV, with ability to connect to your Netflix or other account through the home’s business class Wi-Fi. We also offer YouTube TV.

On the second level, there are 2 large decks with fantastic views of the ocean and sound. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise and your favorite beverage at sunset. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a well-stocked kitchen for cooking. The dining area comfortably seats 10. This level also has a bathroom / powder room.

The third floor includes a king bed, private bathroom with large shower, extra-large tub, double sink, flat screen TV, and private decks with views of the ocean and sound. There is a reading room on the third level that includes a day bed with trundle.

All four bedrooms have sliding glass / screen doors so that any guest can enjoy the sounds of the ocean waves.

After a long day at the beach, please relax in our private fenced backyard which is beautifully landscaped. There is a patio with Adirondack and lounge chairs in addition to a Weber grill. Additionally, you can enjoy your favorite beverage at your very own private Tiki Bar.

We have designed this home to be as user friendly and family friendly as possible. There is keyless entry to avoid the hassle of check-in or getting locked out. The elevator, which goes to all four levels, can accommodate persons with mobility issues, also especially nice for carrying your groceries and luggage.

Linen service is included as follows: all bed sheets, bath towel sets, bathmats and kitchen towels, for those who wish to travel a little lighter. The linens are professionally washed and sanitized by a third-party company on the Island. The house is equipped with some popular children's board games and puzzles. There is a Pack-N-Play and highchair available for use in the home.

Beach access is just a short walk and accessible from two beach accesses located at either end of the neighborhood (3-5 min walk). The beach on this end of island has plenty of accessibility even during high tide. We will have 8 backpack beach chairs, Shibumi (sunshade) and an umbrella located behind the Tiki bar for you to take with you to the beach. Please return them at the end of your stay to the same location. The house has an outdoor shower for ease when returning from the beach. There is plenty of parking to accommodate up to 5 full size vehicles. The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized.

In summary, we welcome you to your next vacation home, Josi-Whales. The home is in a very unique small private community with community pool. Views from this home are some of the best views on the island, especially sunsets and sunrise.

Shopping and grocery amenities are close by. Some restaurants and bars are within walking distance.

Hurricane Debby Dint Ruin Our Trip

Beautiful home near the beach. The house is very well equipped with everything you need for the kitchen and going out to the beach. We had plenty of space for the two families we had (4 adults and 3 children). Loved watching the waves from the deck in the morning while drinking coffee. The location is great, across the street there is a fabulous local restaurant called surf city line with amazing food! The walk to the beach is easy enough and takes about 5 minutes..Highly recommend this place and the owners were very responsive but we had no issues. The location is great not crowded and convenient to local shops.

Summertime beach trip!

Great weather, beautiful beach house, very glad grands. Well equipped, lovely decor, pretty landscaping, cute little pool and accommodating owners. Only drawback is the road crossing and nearby construction at beach access.

Family Vacation

We loved our stay in your house! It was so well stocked, especially for those small things you always forget! Having a view of the ocean was so nice for us “older” folks that didn’t make the short walk to the beach every day. We will definitely try to book again for our next family vacation.

Perfect stay at the beach

The condo was just as perfect as the pictures. The hosts thought of everything from a full stocked kitchen, travel shampoo/ conditioner (especially helpful in the outdoor shower), games for the kids, and sound machines in each room. The condo has amazing views on both sides of the house with multiple balconies. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway at Topsail. The hosts were very responsive if we needed anything throughout our stay.

Family get together

The house was very comfortable and perfect for our family get together, as everyone came from different parts of the country. The house had everything you could want and there was easy access to the beach. The fenced backyard was a nice space to celebrate our oldest child's 30th birthday. A minor glitch on check-in was promptly taken care of by the owners and they went above and beyond what was expected even though it was through no fault of their own. We very much recommend their beach house.

Even Better Than The First Time

We stayed here 2 years ago and loved it. This time was even better. Everything was very clean and decorated as if you were living there full time. The amenities and little touches by the owners and linen company were awesome. We didn't want to leave, but the kids put up a fight not to leave. A great place for families and kids.

Topsail 2022

This house has everything you need to enjoy a beach vacation. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, plates, and cups. There is plenty of space for everyone to be all together but have their own privacy at the same time. The balconies on each room is an incredible bonus! The backyard is awesome; gas grill, patio, and yard space allows for great outdoor entertaining and extra room for kids to run around in a closed in space. The outside shower is the best shower at the house! It does have a little bit of a walk to the beach but we did it with two toddlers and it was very doable. Our family enjoyed being just a short drive away from grocery stores and the fresh crab/fish market. This is the second year we have stayed here and we are already trying to plan when we can come back

About the host

Hosted by Simon and Jodi List

Host profile image
Owning a property at the beach has always been a dream of ours and we finally made that dream come true in 2015. We have made countless family memories and enjoy sharing our home with other families to create those same memories!

Why they chose this property

Our home is located on the North Topsail - Surf City line and is steps away to the beach. We have amazing views of the ocean and sound and the home includes 6 decks to enjoy those views! There is a beach access on either side of the neighborhood and a community pool that our kids love! We have fenced in our back yard to allow for family gatherings and evenings grilling!

What makes this property unique

This home comfortably accommodates our family. We believe there is something about the salt air and the sound of the ocean that instantly makes for a great day! In our opinion, you will experience some of the best sunsets at this property! We hope you enjoy our slice of heaven as much as we do and that you are able to create memories to last a lifetime!
