Seven bedroom oceanfront / pets OK/ Soundside access for fishing & sunset views

This beautiful two-story oceanfront cottage has 4 bedrooms/2 baths upstairs with kitchen, dining and family rooms plus 3 bedrooms/1 1/2 baths with family room, playroom and laundry room downstairs. Beds total 2 kings, 2 queens, +8 twins.
Upstairs on the ocean side, a large, covered porch extends across the front of the cottage with rocking chairs/tables and a swing. This porch extends to form an uncovered sundeck with a large enclosed hot water shower, everyone's favorite! We have baby gates on both sides of the porch, allowing dogs and children to enjoy the deck safely.
A modern very well-equipped kitchen with a large pantry upstairs is complimented by a second full-size refrigerator downstairs and a large well-equipped outdoor gas grill. The laundry room features a new Samsung washer and dryer. Downstairs is connected by outdoor stairs and features a family room with TV, VCR and Ping-Pong table. Linens including beach towels are not provided.
Across the street, our property is suitable for crabbing, fishing, canoeing or kayaking. Crab pots are provided while fishing gear/boating rentals are available on the island.
The beach in front of the cottage is easily accessible for all ages. We are blessed with a very wide, high quality sandy beach and wonderful swimming conditions.
Nearby, the town of Topsail Beach has a number of excellent restaurants featuring fresh-caught local seafood and farm-to-table fresh vegetables and meats. An old-fashioned putt-putt and ice cream shop plus the charming White Crab Coffee and Bookshop. Across the street from our cottage, a very nice bike/jogging path allows for fun trips
the short 1 1/2 miles to the town of Topsail, so bring or rent your bicycles!
