About this property

Gorgeous Views! Waterfront, Elevator, Pool, Kayaks, Day Docks, & Fishing

In August 2016 we purchased “Our Topsail Escape” which is a 2100 sq. foot duplex located in Queen’s Grant subdivision in Topsail Beach. We choose Queen’s Grant because of what it offers (beach crossovers only 600 feet away to a beach that is never crowded, a pool, private boat ramp and day docks, basketball court, playground and more.).

When you reach to top floor, there are hardwood floors, an open floor plan with a back wall of windows to enjoy the views, vaulted ceilings, and a fully stocked kitchen (including dishwasher, pots and pans of all different sizes, blender, coffee maker, mixing bowl, cooking utensils, and toaster to name a few items) with lots of cabinets, a new iridescent back-splash which reflects different colors depending on the sun, a granite counter tops, and a large 4-seat bar. We have added a separate refrigerator for beverages so you don’t run out of room in the refrigerator. In the dining area there is a counter height dining room table which seats 8. There is a sitting area with 2 chaise lounge chairs for relaxing. In the living room area there is a couch, a love seat, 2 chairs, and a wall mounted 75 inch 4K SMART TV with sound bar! You can sit and read in the chaise lounge chairs; play many of the available board games; watch available DVDs, Netflix, HBO, to name a few; or even play with the WII. Lastly through the sliding doors there is a deck, which is great to enjoy your morning coffee, eat a meal at the table for 4 or enjoy a beverage, as the views are fantastic.

All the bedrooms are on the second floor. The home features a master suite that includes the master bedroom, a walk out deck overlooking the canal, walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with a double vanity and walk-in shower. The bedroom includes a king size bed and wall mounted 48 inch LED SMART TV. Two other bedrooms provide additional sleeping arrangements. One of these rooms features a queen sized bed, along with amenities such as a walk-in closet and wall mounted 32 inch Smart TV with Ruko. This room also allows for access to the deck overlooking the water. The other room includes a full size bunk bed and a twin trundle bed. This room further includes a wall mounted 32 inch Smart TV with Ruko and a DVD player, along with kid-friendly DVDs. This room is spacious and great for the kids! There is a second bathroom on this floor with a double vanity and a tub/shower combination. On the second floor is also a stacked washer/dryer combination in case you need to do some laundry while you are there.

When you arrive, you pull into the carport. The carport can hold two to three vehicles and there is additional parking in the front of the community. Behind the shed there is an outside shower with hot and cold water, which is great after a day at the beach. We have also added a clothesline in the carport to hang your stuff up. When you enter the house on the ground floor, there is a large mudroom with a desk great for those who want to work from the beach. The room is large enough to also hold your beach and fishing gear. In this area there is elevator access. The elevator goes to all three floors and is a great asset as you won’t have to carry heavy items, like suitcases, coolers, or groceries, up the stairway.

We get asked often what is there to do at Topsail Beach? There are kayak tours, jet ski tours, dinner cruises, fresh seafood markets, restaurants ranging from fast food to gourmet, shopping, family friendly attractions such as mini-golf, and more adult-friendly activities like party boats. The area also includes grocery stores for picking up your vacation staples and religious establishments. The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center is nearby and if you want something for the kids, look at summer classes at Ecological Marine Adventures. But what if you don’t have your own boat, jet ski, kayak or bikes, you can rent them locally and have it delivered to the house. A short thirty minute drive will bring you to Wilmington and the surrounding areas, where you can investigate sea life at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher or explore the WWII battleship, the USS North Carolina. Wilmington also boasts numerous opportunities for shopping, the Wilmington Riverwalk, a variety of tours, and some great Southern cooking.

Please note: The community pool is open Beginning of May through End of October and is operated by the Recreation Homeowners Association.

“Our Topsail Escape” is dog friendly with a $200 non-refundable pet fee. Limit of 2 dogs up to 50 lbs. each. We have 1 dog crate on site.

Bedding: K, Q, full bunk bed (2 full beds) with a twin trundle. Sleeps 9.
Linens are not provided. A list of linen providers will be recommended in the rental contract.

There are 3 Outdoor security cameras. Those 3 comprise a doorbell camera, and 2 camera's in the carport.

Perfect vacation

It was our first time in Topsail and we loved everything from local attractions to enjoying the beach every day. The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach or pool and beautiful sunsets. We felt at home with plenty of things to cook with, games to play and even beach toys. Looking forward to next year already!

Pure perfection at “Our Topsail Escape”

“Our Topsail Escape” did not disappoint! We had the most amazing two weeks here. It isn’t like staying in a rental property at all. The owners take great care to ensure it feels like home the moment you walk into the property. No detail is overlooked and every amenity is provided. It is great for kids, pets, families, or couples! The Queens Grant community is peaceful and beautiful with a great pool and easy beach access. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and can’t wait to return.

Can’t wait to visit again!

My husband and two young children thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “our topsail escape.” You cannot beat the simple walk to the beach and pool access, especially with kids. The home had everything we needed in the kitchen and our kids enjoyed all the many activities and games offered at the condo. The outdoor shower and elevator that actually operated smoothly were extra perks as well. Communication with the Mclean family was first class. We will definitely be back. Our only feedback would be a more comfortable mattress in the master bedroom, it dipped quite a bit. Thanks for a memorable beach adventure!!

Delightful beach house

Our stay at this beautiful home was awesome! Everyone in our group, ranging in age from 10 to 87 had a great time. Loved being on the canal with beautiful views of the sunsets. The short walk to the beach was no problem and the kids really enjoyed the pool. We also launched a kayak from the marina boat ramp.

Magical family vacation!

First timers to Topsail. The best mixture- things for the kids to do, AND relaxing, never crowded beach time. The home is so beautifully decorated-brand new, crisp and clean! Stocked with everything you could possibly need. Love the outdoor deck spaces, outdoor shower, and quick walk to the beach. Looking forward to going back when the pool/clubhouse renovation is complete.

Beautiful Topsail vacation spot

From the moment we secured the vacation property, we knew it would work our well. The owners were very responsive and friendly and set the tone for a great trip.They made the process so easy and 100% prepared us for our stay. They not only provided directions for everything, but pictures and detailed instructions. This was the first trip(and we've had many), that we did not lack for anything. The house was clean and beautifully located. Great neighborhood and location. We will definitely return.

The house lived up to everything we had read prior to our visit. We totally enjoyed our family Easter Break here at Topsail Beach. The owners even went as far as having Dog items such as bowls etc, available in case we forget them. Great location non commercial and the perfect getaway location.

Beautiful cozy house and perfect location

Our stay at this house was fabulous. It was clean and cozy and so close to the beach. The owners were very responsive and flexible and everything went very smoothly. The pool was great for my family when we needed a break from the beach. We went fishing in back of the house and the outdoor shower was a great amenity with two small kids. The sunset view was amazing from the deck and the movie DVD selection available for the kids was enjoyed by all. Topsail is also a wonderful choice for a family beach getaway. We'll be back !!

What a great home away from home!

My extended family and I rented Our Topsail Escape for our vacation this year. We were completely impressed! The owners were easy tenough work with and very friendly! The house is gorgeous, steps from the ocean with a nice pool when you need a break from the sand. The elevator is now a must have for us. It made moving in and out a breeze and was great after a long day at the beach. As crazy as it sounds my favorite thing was the water pressure. Often at the beach I feel like I am chasing the trickle of water around the drain. At Our Topsail Escape all three showers had great water pressure! The kids loved the Wii and the movie selection. The adults loved the cable and tv’s in each room to veg out when needed. The decks were both great for relaxing with coffee or afternoon drinks. The only downside of our week was the weather. We only had a couple of days of sun—the rest was rain. However, we explored the island like we haven’t done in our six years of trips. There was a ton for us to do with our kids! If you are looking for a great spot on Topsail, I highly recommend this property.
