Phenomenal communication with owner made for any easy trip. Property is clean and probably the best organized and provisioned of all VRBO properties we have stayed at over the years. The inclusion of essentials (bath towels, soap, etc.) along with bath and beach towels make it a welcoming experience and less extra planning to do (e.g. arranging for towel service). Great stay and will absolutely consider this property as a first choice in the future.

Wonderful home on the sound

Ruffin and his family thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed being so close to the water. It was a great place for me to bring my paddle board. The bedrooms , kitchen, and living areas were spacious and lovely. I highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful location and property

This house was absolutely beautiful! We were centrally located and it was an easy walk to the beach. Having everything we could need for the beach provided at the house was a huge plus because we flew into TI and didnt want to buy all new items for a week. The property owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend!

Perfect Fit for Family

We love this property- it's our second stay here. Our family of four (with two small kids) and my parents stayed in the house. Easy access to the beach and access to a pool make it ideal. Also, the kitchen/living space are beautiful and we spent time cooking and being together when not in the water. The balconies have beautiful views. Easy access to Surf City and Topsail. We will be back!

Gregory Vacay at Tower 2 Retreat Topsail Beach

Tower 2 Retreat is a wonderful place to spend your vacation if your plans include access to the beach, pool, or sandbar. The property is as listed except that the kitchen was stocked beyond our expectations. The hosts have exceptional knowledge of Topsail Island which we found helpful. We would definitely consider this property again in the future.

Dream trip even in a hurricane. The space was gorgeous and the communication was impeccable. Little labels and notes everywhere to help us navigate. Quick walk to the beach and the pool down the street! These folks provided everything you need and also they checked in on us during the weather. We will be back and will hope to stay at this oasis!

Wonderful Accommodations!

We had a phenomenal stay at this lovely property. I traveled with my family of 3 (two year old) and another family of 4 with two young children and we loved the proximity to the beach, community pool, and deck with canal views. I’ve stayed at a lot of rentals over the years and this was the nicest beach rental so far! The owners have throught of everything to make your stay comfortable (there is even a beach cart!). They were quick to respond with any questions we had and their “house book” was very informative and helpful. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and wants for nothing and even the deck furniture was comfortable and high quality. We could not have been more impressed with this house. We would definitely stay here again!

Topsail Perfect!

We spent a prefect four days at the Tower Two Retreat! Our family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out, beds were super comfortable, kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the views from the deck were amazing! Super short walk to the beach and pool and minimal traffic on the road never made crossing difficult. The best part was having linens, towels, beach equipment, etc provided. It made packing so much easier! We've always spent our beach week in OBX but really enjoyed the slower small town beach feel of Topsail! We'll be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Ruffin and Cyndi Hall

Host profile image
Our family has been coming here for generations. Nana, the grandmother of the family, used to spend her childhood summers here beginning in the late 1950s. One of the primary owners spent his childhood summers living at Topsail Beach for many years throughout the 70s and 80s. After saying farewell to our guests who attended our Wilmington wedding, we drove directly to Topsail Beach for a relaxing post wedding retreat.

We have brought our children here every summer since they were born and have planned for the day when we could have our own space to share with our family and friends. This dream became a reality in fall of 2020 when we found a newly constructed and beautifully situated townhome, with all the amenities we enjoy.

We are not sure if we were more excited about the large kitchen, the community swimming pool, or the wonderful views of both the ocean and the sound. Plus, as people who enjoy history, we were excited to find that Tower #2, from Operation BumbleBee, was located and preserved a mere 25 yards from the house.

We now offer this property to others, who need a quiet, nicely decorated, walk-in ready place to retreat and relax!

Why they chose this property

We love it here - why?
Easy 2 minute walk to the beach
Adjacent to the sound with gorgeous sunsets
Shower rinse station at our community beach access
Can’t hear cars driving by like on the main road
Can hear the sound water lapping against the dock right outside
Large community swimming pool
Kids playground and basketball court
Dock fishing in the nearby sound
Private community boat launch and day docks
Recreation - jogging, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, biking, and surfing
Just big enough for your family or a few friends but not to big for a crowd
Private outdoor shower
Space inside for yoga
The kitchen - it is wonderful place to cook and entertain
The bedrooms - clean, modern, and relaxing
Covered parking underneath
Dolphins - you can see them some days!

What makes this property unique

* Linens, bath towels, and beach towels provided in the rental - a big price and convenience benefit in comparison to other short term rental properties!

* Beach chairs, towels, toys, and umbrella is available for guest use - come ready to hit the beach right away!
