Sirens Song is a beautiful 2 story private home located beachfront in the middle of Topsail Island. She sleeps 10 comfortably with premium name brand bedding and mattresses. She has limited handicap access with a handicap ramp leading to the first level where you will find the kitchen and living area as well as a bedroom with private bath. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths the whole family can spread out and enjoy your vacation with all the luxuries of home. A well equipped kitchen with granite countertops and new stainless appliances, wi-fi, game consoles and games, Flat screen TV's and DVD players in all bedrooms, videos, books and games galore, charcoal and gas grills, hammock and gated decks for the little ones and pets to play at ease are just a few of the amenities.
Sirens Song is clean and inviting with two decks overlooking the blue Atlantic and miles of beautiful sandy beach to soothe your spirit. Watch for dolphins playing close to shore from the lounge or rocking chairs or relax and look for sharks teeth and shells right in front of the house.
Topsail Island is a unique blend of old and new with several wonderful restaurants and shops but also local fisherman selling their fresh catch at the bridge. The IGA in the heart of the island has most staples you require and there is a Food Lion just before you cross the drawbridge. A brand new Harris Teeter and miniature golf complex opened summer 2011. People from around the world flock to Topsail for its beauty, adventure and laid-back atmosphere but because it is a barrier island with mostly private homes it is not crowded. Fishing, sailing, kayaking, golf, jet skiing, sightseeing, biking, surfing-Topsail has it all and is a true beach experience.
About Sirens Song:
Sirens Song has two levels with covered parking (garage) for one vehicle and outside off street parking for an additional 3-4 depending on size. There is a game room with air hockey and foosball tables in the oversized rear area of the garage for your enjoyment. A handicap ramp runs from the garage to the first floor deck. The first floor has a porch on the front with patio furniture including rockers to watch sunsets over the sound and a large deck on the back for having your coffee and watching the sunrise over the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. A hammock, patio furniture, gas grill and charcoal grill for cooking your mahi, rib eye or fresh seafood are a few of the features. The front is neatly landscaped with red mulch flower beds, indigenous shrubs and palm trees.
From the upper level open your eyes and experience the 'awe factor' as you step out to the deck overlooking miles of beautiful sandy beach. The upper deck has two lounge chairs for relaxing or sunning and a hot/cold enclosed shower underneath the stairs for rinsing off after boogie boarding or surfing.
Come relax, recharge and see for yourself why everyone loves Topsail Island and gorgeous Sirens Song!

About Barbara Howard
Ray and Barbara Howard currently live in Chapin, SC but spend a good deal of their off time in Wilmington. Ray is from Scotts Hill and grew up commercial fishing on Topsail Beach with his father, uncles and cousins and considers Wilmington home. The plan is to retire there in a few years. Barbara is a homemaker and volunteer and grew up in Columbia, SC. We have 2 children - one graduate of Moore School of Business and one with a Masters Degree in Arts and Teaching (working on her PHD)- both from The University of South Carolina and a beagle/blue tick hound mix who is a year old. We love fishing, boating and the beach and look forward to sharing Sirens Song with you and your family.
Barbara Howard purchased this house in 2010
Why Barbara Howard chose North Carolina
Topsail Island was the logical and emotional choice for us because Ray grew up there and we have been vacationing there for more than 30 years. Sirens Song had everything we were looking for.
What makes this house unique
Sirens Song is the most relaxing place! I love looking for sharks teeth and just walking for miles on the beach or sitting in the sand and watching the majesty of the ocean. Everything you need is there if you want to cook or you can go out. You can be as active or inactive as you like!

The perfect vacation home!
This was our family's first stay in an oceanfront home and I don't think we could have chosen a more perfect property. The few photos in this listing just don't do this place justice. I have never stayed in a rental that was so fully stocked with essentials as this one was. We ended up packing so much more than we had to bring. I had purchased a very large pot for a low country boil and when we arrived, we found they already had one available, complete with a steamer basket. There were plenty of beach chairs and even a kiddie pool that we filled up on the deck for our dogs and us to wash our feet in after returning from the beach. The deck was an amazing place to enjoy our morning coffee while watching the sun rise and it was even large enough for us to setup our full-sized corn hole set and play at night. Unlike some places on Topsail Island, the beach behind this home is very abundant with plenty of dry sand left during high tide. The sand here is also full of shark's teeth. I had never before found a single tooth during a trip to the beach and during our stay here, I found over 100 shark's teeth ranging in size from just a tenth of an inch to one that was over 2" long!
My family will definitely return to Siren's Song sometime in the near future. Hopefully sooner than later.
Wonderful getaway! A great place to disconnect and recharge
We had a wonderful long weekend at this lovely home. To wake up to these views is pure luxury and not something you tire of at all. The home is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need. We traveled with our dog and having the gated back deck was such a great treat for him, I don't think he stopped smiling the whole time we were there. The local fish market was stocked with super fresh seafood which we grilled up at the house and enjoyed looking out at the ocean. Thoroughly recommend. We will be back!
Beautiful house and wonderful owners!
What an awesome home. We felt like we were in our own home. It is very loved and the decks are great. No worries at all about the dogs getting loose. Barb is amazing to work with. We definitely plan to get back one day.
Prime location, beautiful beach, lovely home!
My family and friends had a most relaxing vacation. Being right on the ocean was such a treat...we were blessed with beautiful sunrises every morning. The beach itself was lovely-good sand and a gentle slope at the shoreline. Barb and her husband have created a very welcoming environment with everything you need --beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards. The beds were awesome (more comfy than my one at home). I'm writing this just as Hurricane Matthew has moved up the NC coast and I pray that this lovely sanctuary sustained minimal damage. Hope to be back!

Magical
My husband and I and our 9-pound poodle just spent a magical week at Siren's Song, and we had such a wonderful time we didn't want to leave--ever! The house had everything we needed and more, and the beach was amazing--the ever-changing ocean, the birds, the shells, the fishing boats. We slept in a bedroom with a sliding glass door next to the bed, and we often woke up to see stars so close they seemed to be in the bedroom with us. Several mornings, we awoke to see a dark red band along the horizon just before dawn. What a way to start the day! We also enjoyed getting acquainted with the Topsail community, especially the folks at Sugar Island Bakery in Surf City, who kept us supplied with the most delicious baked goods we've ever had! Thanks to Barb and Ray for sharing their wonderful home with us. We can't wait to come back!
The Lure of the Siren's Song
Shall I tell you a secret? Siren's Song is so irresistible , you do not want to escape. It sings a song that makes you believe the unbelievable. I hesitate to share this secret, but since we have already booked Siren's Song for next year, I will let you in on this secret treasure.
My husband and I, along with 2 daughters, son-in-laws, 3 grandchildren, and 2 dogs, just returned from a magical week at Siren's Song. The space was perfect! Beds and furniture were super comfy, and the kitchen had everything you could possible imagine (and more) needing on a beach vacation.
It was a real luxury not to have to pack and drag along beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, boogie boards, etc. Thank you Barbara and Ray for thinking of EVERYTHING, even down to the kiddie pool and beach shovel!
The gated decks were wonderful for the children and dogs. Lots of deck furniture, and I will tell you this is something we have been very disappointed with at other beach homes. The wonderful porch and furniture on the sound side of the house was the perfect place for a cool retreat to enjoy morning coffee. One of the biggest kicks was seeing the grandkids, ages 2,3, and 4, taking their baths in the jacuzzi tub while watching tv! I even treated myself to this luxury!
We do not have one single complaint about this home or working with Barbara. Mighty memories were created this week and it was the perfect place to spend time with our family.
The Siren's Song is already luring us to return next year!
