About this property
Tiki Bar • 5BR • 4 Kings • Game Room • EV Charger • Dogs OK • Beach 3 Min Walk
Welcome to Cans in the Sand, your ideal beach retreat just a short stroll from the ocean! Professionally managed by Bue Anchor Property Management. This vibrant and spacious second-row beach home is dog-friendly and offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms, comfortably accommodating families looking for the perfect coastal getaway.
Topsail Island is one of the few dog-friendly beaches around—dogs are welcome on the beach anytime, as long as they're leashed, making it a true paradise for pet lovers.
Four of the bedrooms feature king-size beds, TVs, and tasteful coastal décor, creating serene spaces to relax after a day in the sun. Two of the king bedrooms boast en-suite bathrooms for added privacy and convenience. The fifth bedroom – the bunk room – is a hit with kids and teens, complete with a twin-over-queen bunk, TV, books, games and an arcade game for hours of entertainment.
The heart of the home features an open-concept kitchen, dining area, and living room, ideal for family gatherings, shared meals, and game nights. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite dishes, while the comfortable living room invites you to kick back and unwind. Step outside onto the deck for additional seating, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
While the interior exudes relaxed sophistication, the exterior of Cans in the Sand is all about fun and flair. The colorful, lively outdoor space includes a tiki bar, dart board, cornhole, and Adirondack chairs for soaking in the beach vibes. It’s the perfect hangout for the adults to enjoy a drink and unwind after a sunny day.
To make your beach days even easier, the owners provide a beach cart and chairs as a courtesy. With public beach access less than two blocks away, you're just moments from putting your cans in the sand and enjoying the Carolina coast at its best.
