About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Just a 2 minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean!


Enjoy a week or (less) at the beach, in the perfect spot by the ocean, at a very affordable price! Very Quiet apartment with no one above your apartment.
PLEASE consider staying a month in the fall winter or spring, only $1650. @month including VRBO deductions and taxes.

Apartment/ flat, is close to everything, especially the ocean!
Couple's so far, have found the accommodations to be more than comfortable and convenient, with adequate room to relax in style!
A well equipped kitchen, separates the living room from Bedroom/bath.
Bedroom leads to back patio where you can grill or sit out.
For your convenience, sheets can be furnished along with towels. Please let me know...because, some prefer to bring their own.
For those who will be visiting 3 days or more a washer and dryer are available for your use, in a private clean utility room next to your back sliding door! A grill on the patio is for your use ...weather permitting! Nothing fancy, just charcoal..

Enjoy listening to the ocean sitting on the front patio or take a walk from the driveway to the beach access, directly across the street!
Topsail Island is a barrier island. It is surrounded by water. Intra-coastal waterway is on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side.
It's a rugged island and has been through many hurricanes. Every one takes a toll but, Topsail comes back even stronger!
Come visit, see the history that made this island so interesting!!
Laid back and easy going, ride bikes if you want to rent them or rent a golf cart and tour at ease.
Many Island restaurants close by 9 p.m. ,
I might suggest, plan on eating earlier and party after!

Come as you are nothing fancy just a nice
time and great memories!!

Heaven

My stay here was wonderful. The owner was kind and generous making sure the condo was clean and quiet. The walk to the beach was short and easy and absolutely what I needed to get away. I am planning on staying here again next summer. What a wonderful trip I had.

Perfect vacation

We only had 4 days to enjoy but the property was perfect for us, very clean and conveniently located close to the beach and other activities (shopping/restaurants).Carla was very nice and supplied everything we needed to get our vacation started. We only wish we had more time to stay longer. Highly recommend for a relaxing time.

Perfect beach stay!

This was our first time at Topsail Island and I can't imagine a better host or place than Carla's! Truly just across the street from beach access - you can hear the waves from your front porch. Perfect size for my daughter and I and our dogs. The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked with anything you need while away from home. The bed was comfy and the place was spotless. Carla was the best host as she made sure we had what we needed, as well as supplied beach chairs and boogie boards for us! We will absolutely be back and are thankful she makes her place available.

Home away From Home!

Carla is a perfect host. She provides everything you need for everyday living. Just bring your toothbrush she’s thought of everything else. The home is steps from the beach, and it’s a close walk to shops, coffee, restaurants and rentals. This is our 2nd stay, so seeing Carla and Jedi was a treat! We’re sad to go😞A+ Host & location!
