Entire Home! Easy Walk to Beach & Gorgeous Sound View
Unwind in a tranquil, relaxed area of the island. Marvel at the stars at night and soak up the sun on a stunning, expansive beach by day! Enjoy a beautiful sunset view of the sound from the spacious back deck. Chat with family and friends on the large side deck with a view of iconic Topsail Beach Water Tower.
The house is approximately a block and a half from the beach access, and about the same distance from the sound. There is a kayak loading area for the sound about a half-mile down the street.
Sound's Great is a charming, recently renovated, well-appointed home with an easy, under 2-minute stroll to one of the most convenient public accesses on spectacular Topsail Beach. It’s an ideal spot for biking , kayaking, grilling burgers or seafood, or just relaxing with your favorite beverage on a spacious deck. The house is actually 2 separate dwellings, with a total of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and two living areas. (Each level has 2 bedrooms, one bath, and a living area.)
The kitchen and laundry room are located on the second floor, while the first floor features a convenient mini-kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, and microwave. Note: Access to the first floor is via outdoor steps, requiring entry from outside the house.
The house is located in Topsail Beach (on the island's south end), a historic and charming town with a missile museum, a 1950s-era putt-putt course, fine dining and an outdoor tiki bar at the Beach Shop, coffee and books at the White Crab, and high-quality gifts at The Gift Basket. You can also catch live music some evenings at Larry’s Deli-Q, Beach Shop, or the local municipal park.
Surf City, with an endless selection of restaurants and fun-filled activities, is only a 10-minute drive away.
We know that you will love our vacation home as much as we do!

We enjoyed hosting your group and hope you will come again! Thanks for the excellent review!
The property was fantastic. It was perfect for our family from the location to the amenities. We didn’t want for anything and will definitely rent again. Communication with the property management was excellent. Brenda was always available and guided us through check in to check out seamlessly. We had a lovely and low stress week and I highly recommend the property.

Thanks, Paige! We appreciate the excellent review. Hope you’ll come back again!
My family and I had a great time at this property for a small vacation while our kids were on their Spring Break. The house accommodations were fantastic. It was very clean and organized and only a block away from the beach. We would definitely recommend this property. The hosts were great and very communicative.

Our family (aged 12-75) had a great stay at Sounds Great. Great location in South Topsail and easy walk to beautiful, non-crowded beach. Home is decorated very nicely with lots of great features.

Thanks for the great review! We hope you will stay with us again.
The cottage is well appointed, has great sound views. Updated appliances are great, beds were very comfortable, short distance to the beach. The owners were very accommodating and easy to reach.
Loved everything. Location was great. The inside was immaculate. Lots of extras. Provided above and beyond any other vbro host. However, The outside deck needs a good stain (kids got splinters) and the backyard needed to be mowed. Other than that wonderful stay. We will stay here again! Great vacation.

Thanks for the great review. Glad you enjoyed Sound’s Great. We will take your advice and resurface the deck during the off season. Come back soon!
Absolutely perfect beach getaway! The house had everything we could possibly need for the beach—chairs, umbrellas, toys, even a wagon to haul it all. The walk to the beach was super easy, just a few minutes and we were on the sand. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. The owner was fantastic to work with—very easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating when we needed to change our vacation week. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Great kitchen, had everything we needed and all in great condition. Wonderful location with equal distance between ocean and sound so a short walk to either. Beautiful views from the decks outside.

Thanks Charlin! So glad you enjoyed it. Please come again!
The property was a great set up for our stay with three teens. They had their own space for privacy and retreat. We enjoyed all the island had to offer and the well equipped home had more than we could have imagined for comfort during our one week stay. Brenda is a great host and we look forward to another visit!

We'd love to have you back anytime! Thanks so much!
We have stayed in a number of houses in Topsail over the years, this was the best in terms of convenience, comfort, cleanliness. Everything was laid out nicely, the kitchen was well appointed, couldn't ask for more.

Thanks so much for the excellent review. We are glad you enjoyed Sounds Great! Come back soon! 😊
We enjoyed our stay at Sound’s Great! It was so relaxing and the beach is only a few steps away from the house. The location is perfect because it’s close to the point and very quiet and minimal traffic yet close enough to all the shops and restaurants. We will be back!

House was adorable! Very well stocked, beds were comfortable and bedding was very nice. Location was a very easy walk to the beach and the area is quieter than surf city.
Hosts were responsive and pleasant. I’d definitely stay here again!

First time to Topsail beach and Sounds Great did not disappoint! Location couldn’t be beat, the house was perfectly clean, and the amenities and extras left by the property owners were unmatched. Can’t say enough good things about the property owners and the home. Everything was beautiful and comforting! 10/10 would stay again!

Thank you for the excellent review. You were terrific guests and we are glad you enjoyed your first trip to Topsail. We hope you will stay with us again!
We absolutely loved our stay in this beach house! We found it clean, well stocked and comfortably accomodating. The way the upstairs is somewhat separate from the downstairs worked well for our older children to have their own space without being too far. We enjoyed riding bikes to nearby stores & restaurants and look forward to booking this house again next year!
