Topsail Island is a family oriented area... with tons of family activities! Kayaking on the sound, parasailing, windsurfing, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks for walking and running... A wonderful beach to escape to. Quiet, calming to the soul, as if you have your own personal island to retreat to!
About our home: Sparrow's Beach Nest is located just five blocks south of the stoplight once arriving on the island. This allows you enough distance not be in the midst of the traffic, yet you are able to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, the ice cream shoppe, the grocery store and the pier, if fishing is on your mind!
Breathtaking views from the third floor/primary living area with a very large back deck full of comfortable lounging chairs, rocking chairs and a table for snacking or eating outside. The second story back deck is covered and has several adirondacks, several rocking chairs and two swings allowing for the comfort of the shade, amazing views of the ocean all while watching your family on the beach below. Stairs on the back-side of the deck carry you down to the sandy beach...
The primary living area features the kitchen, a seated bar area(4), a large dining table for family gatherings (8) along with a smaller dining table (6). The family room has DVD, VHS and expanded cable. Not that you'll be inside to enjoy the TV too often!
The kitchen is fully stocked - just like cooking at home! And, you will find that we have included two high-chairs and two booster seats in the dining area for those with young ones...
A full-bath is located on the third floor. We have a queen bedroom and a crib, that makes sleeping convenient for those wanting the main floor to themselves late at night! (and for those needing to keep a close eye on their young baby!)
The second level houses two master suites with doors opening onto the back deck. A sneak peak of the ocean and several rocking chairs await your visit... A third king size bed and a bunk/trundle bed with a full mattress and two twin mattresses are also found on this floor and share yet another full bath.
Another Master/King bedroom is located on the ground floor with a private bath... This is located on the backside of the first level and there is a exit door for a quick beach escape!
Just outside the exit door is the outdoor shower and changing room. We have parking for up to four cars in our driveway with public parking close by for any additional cars or friends that may visit.
Sheets, pillow cases and kitchen wash rags and towels are inlcuded with this rental.

Every year I set out to find a place for our bi-annual girl's getaway. We've gotten older and pickier and it isn't easy finding a place that we all can be content with. We all loved Sparrow's Nest. It has a great floor plan, we were all able to hang out together and sit together at dinner with out being cramped. Great location, wonderful home and very nice and easy to work with home owner. Will definitely return.
Owner response:Tracy - We loved having you guys! Looking forward to your return... :)
Recommended for:Girls getaway.
PERFECTION.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was well situated and as a bonus a very quiet location away from the main road. The kids played hard on the beach and slept well in the house, a perfect vacation! We'll be sure to return in the future.

The Sparrow's Nest is a great location. The spacious living area is ideal for relaxing with friends or family. The Bedroom set up can easily accomodate multiple couples with children. The owners were very effective in communicating information and details.
