About this property

Exclusive Oceanside w/Pool, Elevator, 6 BR, Family Friendly, Steps from Beach

Welcome to North Topsail Beach and our home, Burnin’ Daylight! You will not find a more relaxing and family-friendly place on Topsail Island. This secluded stretch of beach is quiet, clean, and kids can have hours of fun playing in the surf. There is exclusive beach and pool access just for Villas By the Sea townhomes. The spacious 4-level townhouse is a reverse floor plan so you can enjoy looking out over the ocean as you sip coffee in the kitchen or relax with a beverage at the end of the day. There is nothing more relaxing than listening to the waves crash as you put your feet up and recharge. You can see the sunrise from the Ocean side decks and the sunset from the Intercoastal decks (this property boasts 6 private balconies in total). There is plenty of room to bring your extended family and make memories that will last you and your family a lifetime.
Our property is spacious and decorated to make you feel like this is the most luxurious and relaxing beachside vacation spot, your home away from home. It's the one place our family can focus on simply being together and having fun; everything else melts away. We want to make your stay as relaxing and carefree as possible.
Burnin’ Daylight was built in 2018, with many upgrades over the adjoining townhomes as this was a private residence. It features top of the line appliances, furniture, and stunning upgrades like marble countertops and tilework. The elevator is centrally located with stops on every floor to make it easy for guests to unload baggage and groceries, as well as to allow access for those with older family members that may have difficulty with stairs. The second floor has a king master suite with adjoining bathroom/walk-in shower, a queen suite, a third bedroom with a full-size bed and a full bathroom with a bathtub. The third floor has a second master suite with king bed and adjoining bathroom/walk-in shower, queen suite, kid’s room with one twin over twin bunkbed and anther full bathroom with a bathtub. Located in the hall closet is the full-size washer and dryer; this helps to be able to pack less. The fourth and top floor is an open floor plan kitchen, dining, and living room with plenty of space to spread out. All rooms have black out curtains for those who like to sleep in while on vacation (like our teenage daughter).
Each floor has its own thermostat and all AC filters are changed regularly. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need including a dishwasher, oven, crockpot, Keurig, toaster, and, blender. We provide a few items to get you started like dishwasher pods, a few trash bags, toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, and a kitchen sponge. This will get you started with your stay and to fill-in there is a grocery store just a few miles away in Sneads Ferry. A gas grill is provided on the ground level to be able to cook your meals onsite for the family BBQ.
The ground level garage has been converted into a family theater room with theater style recliner seating plus faux grass carpeting to make it feel like an outdoor drive-in theater. There are also several pub style games like cornhole and darts as well as a kid’s game table and a full size pinog pong table. The convenience of entering through the ground level garage allows you to leave most of the sand with your beach gear or even golf bags before coming upstairs. There’s an outdoor shower to clean up after a long day at the beach.
There is free WIFI (wireless internet) access throughout the home, plus 6 TV’s (one in each bedroom plus the living room).
For Military families visiting Camp Lejune’s Visitor Center is located just 27 miles away.
Villas Dr is near the North Topsail Fishing Pier, and one of our favorite restaurants, Splash, just next door within walking distance, and North Shore Golf Club, a public course, just over the bridge in Snead’s Ferry,. If you want more food choices take a quick trip down to Surf City to find various beachside restaurants including two of our favorites JM’s on the Water and Shaka Taco – get there early these are popular places! You can also venture over the bridge to visit Shuckin’ Shack, Rick’s, or many other restaurants.
The Villas is family-friendly; no main roads to cross to get to the beach or pool. The driveway can accommodate 4 vehicles. There are many amenities within driving distance – here’s a few to get you started:
Seaview Fishing Pier - .4mi
Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehab Center – 12mi
North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores – 62mi
Topsail Charter Fishing in Surf City – 10mi
Tsunami Beach Shop – 4.4mi

Amazing week at Burnin’ Daylight

Our family of 11 stayed at Burnin Daylight for a week of family fun on Topsail. This is our 4th time visiting and Amy’s house couldn’t have been more perfect! Clean, cool, decorated great and had many, many amenities for the family to enjoy. We had ping pong tournaments and movie nights in the basement, dancing on the porches, and a cozy bed to rest our heads after a long day at the beach. We would certainly stay again! Amy was so responseful and helpful with any questions and accommodations we had.

We had a wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house. It was nicely decorated and very clean. The two mirror master bedrooms were nice to have. They were large and my dad spent a lot of time on the balcony. The kids were able to use the bottom floor garage to entertain themselves. We loved having access to a pool. The elevator was super useful - there are a lot of stairs! I would definitely come back!

on top in topsail

The house was spectacular! Kitchen well stocked with what we needed to cook all week. The enclosed carport was handy for storing our chairs and carts. Keyless entry worked great for everyone being on their own schedule. The walk to beach and pool was very short. Restroom by pool was great especially with a 3 year old! communication with homeowner was easy and fast. She usually responded within 5 minutes when I sent a message. She contacted us when she found out we may have had a problem with the grill. Loved the seating for 9 in the living room and at the kitchen table. Highly recommend this property!

Family “Week at the Beach”

Effective floor plan, restful, great elevator, wonderful decks/chairs, very well appointed kitchen, WiFi, tvs, and electronics worked well(one missing remote), adequate parking, nice grill and lp tanks. On the negative, “Burnin Daylight” is on the back row of about 24 units on a tightly packed cul-de-sac - very limited view of the ocean. The ground floor space has great intentions but rendered unusable during summer heat due to owner requirement to keep doors closed with no other ventilation or a/c. The refrigerator did not perform well - it was not cool enough to keep food from spoiling and ice maker was most inadequate. On a positive, this was the best beach tap water I ever had. I’m guessing the outdoor shower (nice hot/cold water) is there to prevent tracking the beach inside and washing it into the tub drains (which were partially plugged during our stay). A screen for the outdoor shower might make it more useful and perhaps slowdown beach relocation to the indoor part of the unit. Overall good experience.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Hayward

Host profile image
My family started vacationing in North Topsail 3 years ago and instantly fell in love with the beach and surrounding area. We have not found another place on the East coast that offers the closest you can get to a family friendly private beach. The five of us go for walks on the beach each morning to collect various shells, sand-washed stones, and sea glass; or play a game of tag while the waves crash over our feet. I like hosting because I want to share our family experience with others. Simply get lost in the moment and enjoy being together along this beautiful stretch of beach.

Why they chose this property

I recommend having coffee on the deck each morning while watching the sunrise over the North Topsail Pier; it's simply stunning. The Villas by the Sea is an exclusive group of townhomes that are family-friendly, well maintained, and offer a secluded section of beach that is not overcrowded. Since the Villas have their own driveway, you do not need to cross any main roads to get to the private beach access, which is just 100 yards from the door. The private pool is along the beach, and my kids like to go back and forth throughout the day. The pool area also offers private bathrooms, convenient when you are on the beach. You can pack up to head to the beach for the day or simply walk back to the house for lunch before heading back to the beach for the afternoon. North Topsail is just a short drive to many great restaurants in Surf City, the North Shore Country Club and shopping in Sneads Ferry.

What makes this property unique

Built in 2018 as a private residence, no expense was spared in the details. Marble counters, tile-work, cabled railing in the living room, and wainscotting are just a few of the extras that make this property feel more luxurious. We also wanted to add our own family touch by adding a game room and theater room in the garage. The large screen, projector, theater seating, and faux lawn make it feel like a night out at the old drive-in; with the modern technology of wifi and online streaming apps. We've provided a game table, darts, lawn games, etc. You can use the space to escape the mid-day sun or on a rainy day to have some fun with the kids.
