About this property

Oceanfront Seaside Stargazer+Hot Tub+Pets OK+Infinity Table+Beach Gear+4 Kings

“THE most amazing VRBO I’ve ever stayed in and my husband (who is very picky) said it was his most favorite of all time. The private beach is THE BEST on the island…” – Erin, May 2022

This iconic 6-bedroom, 4-bath beachfront property boasts 180-degree ocean views. Wide windows that pierce the panels of the unique dome-style architecture allow for swaths of natural light to flood the space and showcase stunning views of waves crashing on the beach - from almost every room!

THE HOUSE:
Welcome to Seaside Stargazer, a completely refreshed Dome home in North Topsail, NC. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the scent of the ocean, the sounds of the waves, and the sight of incredible architecture and bespoke stained glass windows! It’s your very own private 6-bedroom home with plenty of space for 14 people - and even 8 cars. Starting with the private beach, up to the 4th story indoor crow’s nest with its own hammocks, out to a spacious deck and a private Master balcony, this is what makes for unforgettable sunsets and sunrises inside and out. Seaside Stargazer transforms an ordinary beach vacation into a truly unforgettable experience.

"Stunning views, effortless access to the beach, and the open floor plan allowed for limitless family gatherings. Our vacation was too short to enjoy all this place had to offer." – Cara, 2022

LIVING SPACES:
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area enables the entire group to appreciate this space together, but this house also has enough nooks and crannies to give everyone their own special spot!

Snuggle into one of the living room window seats with a cup of coffee in the morning, or bring a glass of wine out to an Adirondack chair on the deck at sunset. Look out over the open living area and the ocean beyond from the loft above while enjoying the state-of-the-art Infinity games table or settling in for a movie. Relax on the lower level deck in the Viking Hot Tub and listen to the waves crash.

"Loved the hot tub It was the best to relax, listen to the waves, and enjoy the beach after sunset in the winter!!" - Georgianne, 2022

"This is a phenomenal house in an outstanding location. We especially loved the upper deck which had wonderful sea breezes all day long…Easily one of the best vacations we have ever taken!"
– Nora, 2022

KITCHEN & DINING:
The updated Kitchen with its ocean views makes every meal a pleasure, and being fully stocked with amenities doesn’t hurt!

-Huge prep island with granite counters
-Additional eat-in peninsula that seats 3
-An oceanside dining table for 4
-Massive dining table for 8

As we continue to look around the dining room, you'll find a separate built-in cocktail bar! Entertaining here is always a breeze. Off the 2nd Floor deck is a charcoal grill and picnic table for beach-y lunches and al fresco dinners!

- Fully stocked Kitchen Pantry and Appliances – including a 3 gallon Lobster Pot!
- Coffee Station with Drip, Keurig & Coffee Grinder

"Truly the best-stocked house we have stayed at…Such a fun, unique house!!! The only thing we needed was MORE days." – Holly, 2022

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
The unique qualities of the incredible dome-style layout also enable nearly every bedroom to be oceanfront. With 4 King bedrooms, 1 Queen, and a Bunkroom with 2 sets of bunk beds that sleeps 6, this house has plenty of space for everyone in your group. At the end of a day spent under the sun, settle into your crisp sheets and turn on your favorite movie in any bedroom – each one has its own Smart TV.

"The beach was never crowded, and there were plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas for everyone."
–Jessica, 2022

GETTING TO THE HOUSE:

The long driveway allows for plenty of car parking space. You can fit at least 8 vehicles in the driveway, as our guests are the only ones that have access to it.


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Seaside Stargazer is complete with refreshed interiors including new painted walls, new floors, new mattresses, and new linens and towels. The kitchen and pantry are fully stocked. Bathroom necessities, toiletries, laundry detergent, paper towels, and toilet paper are supplied to get you started. Our Kitchen “pay-it-forward” policy here is a big hit.

We do not offer discounts at this time. We offer an extremely high level of service, flexibility, and a ton of amenities not found in most beach rentals. If you have a specific request, we will do what we can to accommodate you.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:
We don't live on the Island, but we have a stellar team that does! They are ready to help in case of any emergency.

ABOUT THE HOST:
Hello! My name is Vanessa and Jacob is my husband. We've been married 20 years and have 6 kids. Though this property is new to us (2021), our family-run business has gratefully served over 900 sets of happy guests at many different properties over the years. We strive to provide an exceptional guest experience focusing our efforts on cleanliness, service, and providing everything you need to have an easy and enjoyable getaway.

We bought this house because we feel like we have a private beach. There is an empty lot to our left, and our right neighbors have such a large home, they had to build further back. We hardly see people at the end of this quiet island, and we love that added feeling of being by ourselves. We hope you have the BEST time at the Seaside Stargazer, our slice of heaven!

**Ring cameras: 1 front door, (to allow in maintenance personnel and monitor deliveries) 1 oceanside (crows nest) to watch for storms, and 1 under the lowest deck (facing the dune and decking to check on beach erosion, last fall we had posts dangling out of the sand). NO ring cameras are recording, and will NOT be accessed during guests stays. Used only for Hurricane conditions to monitor house and ocean safety.

Beautiful home for a nice family getaway

We loved the house with all its unique details. The living space and kitchen were stand outs for family meals and hanging out. Loved the loft and crows nest area as well. We made many memories here. The ocean views were one of the best we have ever had in a beach house.

Wonderful Stay!

This was our second time visiting the Dome House and once again it was amazing. The owner and property manager are great to work with and very responsive. The kitchen is fully supplied with anything you could ever need, and more. There are plenty of beach towels, chairs and toys that makes beach days simple. If you are looking for a perfect beach house for your get away this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

Our beach trip

Beautiful home that offers 5 ocean front rooms. Despite a storm that wiped out beach access, we had a wonderful week and owners restored beach access via dune crossing and steps. It has a secluded beach area, once the tide was out. My only regret was not booking a longer stay. FYI, after storm, the front of home was very popular with the older shell hunting folks.

Best VRBO ever!!

Amazing in all aspects. On the beach, great deck to sit and listen to the waves, fully stocked with all you need, house is the best VRBO ever stayed in. Layout of rooms is ideal for large groups to be together yet space out. Can't recommend the property enough! Can't wait to go back.

Great Floor Plan and Amenities, Wonderful Stay

This was the perfect house for our extended family--areas for smaller groups to congregate and for the entire family to gather. The well-stocked kitchen made food preparation very convenient. There were so many great touches (presence of beach chairs and supplies, charging stations within arm's reach all over the place, helpful labels and notes, games and other activities...the list goes on) and the location was amazing. Communication with the owners and with the local manager was all fabulous and friendly. Would 100% recommend this property.
