About the host
Hosted by Anita Watkins
We've enjoyed our home with our children and grandchildren for over 25 years and now we're sharing it with others to experience the magic and wonder of Topsail Beach. We own the duplex and only rent out one side so you can always be assured of quiet and relaxation. We'll endeavor to provide you with anything you need to make your vacation special.
Why they chose this property
We built this home to have a place where family can spend time together. We love the view of the sound and the proximity to the town center to enjoy all Topsail has to offer. Spend the day on the beach, enjoy all the wildlife and birds from the deck, walk to shopping restaurants, ice cream, pier fishing, marina, or convenient local grocery store.
