About this property

Pristine Oceanfront 4 Bedroom Escape Topsail Island. Fall-fun savings added!

Savings up to 20% savings for fall breaks. Further savings for longer stays over one week also available1

Beautiful OCEANFRONT FOUR BEDROOM house is perfect location to host memories for a lifetime. Nestled on a premium stretch of beach dotted with private homes, this three story gem has fantastic views from both upper and lower decks.

Perfect location for an EXTENDED WINTER VACATION, Contact us for special rates for rentals for 2 or more weeks.

Bottom floor has double enclosed garage and entry. First floor has open living and kitchen area with wall of windows looking out on sparkling waters. First floor access to the kitchen and living area is a feature MANY oceanfront homes don't offer. You don't realize how nice it is until you don't have to walk up three flights of stairs every time you go from the beach to the living area. The upper floor has 4 bedrooms, 3 of which are oceanfront. Bedroom doors open to expansive deck that has 180 degree view of Atlantic. Free Wi-Fi throughout..

For infants, a pack-and-play, and a high chair are available to use. Bed linen and towels are not provided. Rental options on the island are available.

See the sunrise from your pillow. Watch for the pods of dolphin that run in the early morning and late afternoon. Fresh seafood can be purchased on a daily basis from the local fishermen who bring their hauls in and sell them at the market 3 miles away. Walk for miles in either direction on the beach. Look for prehistoric sharks' teeth and shells. The sound is just a walk away and provides amazing sunset panoramas.

The towns of Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington( international airport) are less than an hour away.

The only drawback to this house is that you'll never want to leave.

Paul's house is ideally situated, - not too close to stores and resturants but not so far that it was a pain to get there. The exterior views were spectacular and the interior was light and airy and nice and clean.

Our group has been visiting Topsail for several years. Escape Hatch was one of the nicer homes we have stayed in. The beach is only a few feet from the house which made it easier to bring our tent and chairs in at night. We had a wonderful time again this year!

We had a great stay at the Escape Hatch! Paul was easy to communicate with and the house was gorgeous- just as advertised. We really enjoyed the walk straight out to the beach and the views in the morning. We will definitely rebook! Only thing to keep in mind is there was not extra toilet paper or dishwashing pods. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind for packing!

We were advised the washing machine was not working and was not repaired while we were there. The ice machine was also not working prior to our arrival. The condition of the baking sheets and pans were heavily worn. One section of the garage is being used for storage of items left behind from previous people.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Graupner

Host profile image
We are British ex-pats who used to vacation on the island many years ago when our children were little and we just keep on returning! Now we are empty-nesters and have bought a house so we can keep visiting this gem of an island. We have always loved being on the water and smelling the salt air and knew that one day we would buy a house here. We visit as often as we can and are very hands-on to ensure that the property is well maintained and in super shape!

Why they chose this property

When we discovered Topsail Island back in the 90's we knew it had everything we wanted... beautiful quiet beaches, plenty ( but not too much) to do, good restaurants and a laid back atmosphere with close proximity to Wilmington. We purchased this home because the island remains as quaint and as unspoiled as it was back in the 1990's and the house is just beautiful! We love the tile/wood floors, the large windows, the decks, and the views! The house is clean, uncluttered and a lovely place to relax.

What makes this property unique

Quaint quiet town with private beaches. Soft sand with plenty of sharks teeth, warm waters, beautiful sunrises, and dolphins swimming past.
The house is just lovely and the multiple windows/doors give great views even from inside! The living area is NOT on the top floor and you don't miss a thing ~ other than tired muscles from going up and down stairs all day.
