Summary:
Christmas, New Year's or a quiet winter month on Topsail, with the whole family and the dog. Five bedrooms, each with its own bath, ocean view porches for sunrise coffee, and a hot tub that stays hot all winter. The sand is a one minute walk across the road, quiet and wide open this time of year. Book your holiday dates, or message us and we will help plan the rooms. Straight talk: the pool is open May to October, and this is a well loved older house with new floors (Dec 2025).

Winter here is quiet. Guests who stayed in November and over January and February describe an uncrowded beach, a warm hot tub and room to spread out. Plan the holidays now, and spring break 2027 while dates are open. Starter supplies are waiting: toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner and soap. Straight talk: this is a well loved older beach house with new flooring in December 2025, and it has plenty of stairs.
Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the entire home, including all five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, the fully equipped kitchen, living and dining areas, and private decks. You’ll also enjoy exclusive use of the private pool, hot tub, and on-site parking for up to 6 vehicles. The beach is just steps away, accessible via a private crossover right across the street. Entry is self-check-in through a secure, keyless entry system.
The Neighborhood:
Located in a quiet residential area just a short walk from the beach, this home offers a peaceful coastal escape with the convenience of nearby attractions. You're just a short drive from local favorites like Splash by the Sea, Seaview Pier Restaurant, and Shaka Taco. Visit the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center, explore the Surf City Ocean Pier, or enjoy kayaking and paddleboarding in the nearby sound. Whether you're after seafood, souvenirs, or scenic strolls, it's all within easy reach.
Getting Around:
The easiest way to get around is by car. Ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft may be available, but can be limited, especially during peak times—so having a vehicle is recommended for convenience. Free parking is provided on-site. The beach is just a few steps away.
