About this property

Toes in the Sand--Oceanfront

WELCOME TO TOES IN THE SAND!

Come slow down, kick off your shoes, and enjoy one of North Carolina’s best-kept secrets—Topsail Beach. Named by Southern Living as one of the best tiny towns, Topsail really is a throwback to the simple seaside vacations you remember from childhood.
The beach here is uncrowded and perfect for shell hunting and searching for shark teeth. Mornings often start with shrimp boats cruising by and dolphins swimming just offshore. Spend your days swimming, surfing, fishing, or relaxing on the sand, then head back inside for dinner with an incredible ocean view. Sunrise and sunset never get old here.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Topsail Island has three areas—Topsail Beach, Surf City, and North Topsail Beach. Our home sits just a couple of miles past the Surf City line, making it central to the entire 26-mile island.
Easy access to all island restaurants and attractions.
Close to local favorites and casual beach dives.
Andrews Produce Stand with fresh ice cream, desserts, baked goods boiled peanuts and jams practically across the street.
Two bridges onto the island = easy arrival and departure.
