Summary:
Cross the street and your feet are in the sand. Watch the sun sink over the marsh from the fire pit deck, then slide into the private hot tub under the stars. Rack up a game of pool while the kids claim the trundle beds and the grill gets going on the porch. This North Topsail Beach retreat sleeps 10 across five bedrooms, built for the whole crew to spread out by day and gather by firelight every night.
This coastal home is laid out across three levels so every generation gets a little privacy without feeling far from the action. On the main level, Bedroom 1 offers a king bed with its own ensuite bathroom — a quiet retreat for whoever's hosting. Down the hall, Bedroom 4 holds two twin beds plus a daybed with trundle (it converts to a double), with a full bathroom just outside — great for kids who want to be near the main living space.
Upstairs, Bedrooms 2 and 3 each have a queen bed and share a full bathroom — comfortable private quarters for couples or extra adults. On the lower level, Bedroom 5 mirrors Bedroom 4 with two twins and a daybed-trundle, plus its own ensuite, a favorite with teens who want some independence.
The main living room is bright and open, with comfortable seating around a fireplace and SmartTV — the natural spot for movie nights and catching up after the beach. The fully equipped kitchen has modern appliances, ample counter space, and seating for everyone, so a big family dinner is as easy as a quick breakfast.
Downstairs, a second living room gives the group a cozier hangout spot and opens onto the game room, where a full-size pool table keeps everyone entertained well into the evening — a layout that lets a big group split up and reconvene all day.
Outside is the real showstopper: a spacious deck overlooking peaceful marsh and inlet views. Start the morning with coffee, spend the afternoon soaking in the private hot tub, and end the day around the stone fire pit as the sky turns pink and gold over the water. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off after the beach effortless, and the covered porch and backyard give you even more room to relax.
This home suits groups who want room to spread out. Large families will like the mix of a king ensuite, twin/trundle rooms for kids, and shared-bath queens for extended family. Multi-generational groups traveling with grandparents and grandkids get comfortable, semi-private space without losing shared time in the living areas. Friend groups chasing a beach-meets-game-room trip will gravitate to the pool table, fire pit, and hot tub. Anglers and beach lovers will love being steps from the sand and close to the pier for a morning cast. And reunion groups of up to 10 will find one of the few homes on the island that sleeps a full crew across five real bedrooms.

Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the entire home, including all five bedrooms, all four bathrooms, the main and lower-level living areas, the fully equipped kitchen, the game room, and every outdoor space — the fire pit deck, hot tub, covered porch, and backyard. Private beach access is just steps away across the street, so you can come and go for a quick swim or a full beach day whenever you like.
The Neighborhood:
Tucked into North Topsail Beach on Topsail Island, this home puts you directly across the street from the sand — no car, no shuttle, just a short walk to the water. The 26-mile island is known for quieter, less-crowded beaches than the bigger tourist towns further south, a favorite for families wanting a laid-back beach week.
A few minutes down the island, Surf City offers restaurants, ice cream shops, and boutiques, plus a fishing pier for an evening stroll. History buffs should carve out time for the Missiles and More Museum, telling the story of Topsail Island's past as a Cold War-era missile testing site. For a quieter stretch of shoreline, Serenity Point at the island's north end is a short drive and popular for shelling and sunset walks.
Venturing off-island, downtown Wilmington, NC is roughly 40-45 minutes by car (approximate, depending on bridge traffic), and the Jacksonville, NC / Camp Lejeune area is about 30-35 minutes. With private beach access, a hot tub, and a game room at home, most guests never need to go far at all.
Getting Around:
A car is recommended for getting around and exploring nearby coastal spots like Surf City and Sneads Ferry, both just a short drive away. Beach access is just steps from the home, so you can easily walk to the sand and enjoy your days by the ocean without needing to drive.
Other Things to Note:
Free parking is available on-site for up to 4 vehicles, which comfortably covers most groups traveling in multiple cars for a family or friend getaway. The private driveway makes loading and unloading beach gear, coolers, and luggage easy, with no need to worry about street parking or competing for spots during busy summer weekends on the island.
Check-in is at 4:00 PM and checkout is at 10:00 AM. This is a non-smoking property, and occupancy is limited to 10 guests. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are installed throughout the home.
Early check-in may be available if the house is ready — we'll confirm the night before arrival: $100 for 8:00-11:00 AM or $50 after 11:00 AM. Fresh towels and linens are provided (bring your own beach towels), and a starter kit covers toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, and soap for the start of your stay; detergent and dryer sheets aren't included. For non-Airbnb reservations only, approved refunds carry a 6% processing fee regardless of cancellation policy. Guests may be asked to verify ID and sign a rental agreement, and routine hot tub maintenance may occasionally happen outdoors during the day.
Interaction with Guests:
You’ll have the entire home to yourselves for a private and relaxing stay. We are always available via message or phone if you need anything during your visit and are happy to assist with recommendations or questions.
