About this property
Oceanside beach escape and remote work paradise!
Welcome to our recently updated 1 bedroom condo redone in 2022 to support a remote work paradise or a pure escape. One queen and one full-size fold-out couch are available with linens/towels provided. Our unit has a quiet and cool mini split A/C in the main room, portable A/C in the bedroom, smart TV with cable, cable internet, several places for workstations with extra computer monitors available, and a top-of-the-line Keiser m3i spin bike (uses regular sneakers or SPD cycle shoes). The complex offers a tennis court & a 1/2 basketball court, designated grilling areas, and onsite smartphone-operated laundry.
NOTE: For the security of guests and the property, a ring doorbell is located on the front door of the unit covering the area outside of the unit around the front door. The HOA may also place cameras at various points around the complex outside of the unit.
—---------------------------------------
Like many, we never knew Topsail existed. Then we looked for a remote beach getaway that was not too busy but not completely isolated. We wanted to be not too south, but not too north. We landed in Topsail.
The residences at Topsail Reef, the community where this listing is found, provide a particularly unique Topsail experience. These buildings sit closer to the ocean than perhaps any other options on the island, and few other homes on the east coast. So close that new sandbags, as part of beach restoration efforts, are placed just under the buildings to keep the water at bay. At some higher tides, there is no beach at all and you have to go through a little water to get to sand or around to another beach access. This more southern Reef unit is just about a100ft north of a wider beach area where you can typically set up camp all day regardless of tides. Just a little further south are some dining options at the St. Regis, and a few miles south of that you'll find the Pier restaurant and Splash by the Sea. But walking to the north is a must as it will eventually take you away from all civilization and into an endless series of ankle-high lagoons.
When you are sitting on your balcony, it becomes even clearer why Topsail Reef is so special. The ocean is simply right there in your face and there is something uniquely therapeutic about just passing the time watching the tides change.

Property was exactly as described and shown in online pictures. My husband and I loved sitting outside on the deck relaxing to the sounds of the ocean waves. Good communication with the host.

Hi Amanda, thank you so much for the kind words! It was so lovely to have you and your daughter (you’re our first repeat guest!) and we’re so happy you got to see the dolphins - we get so excited every time we see them! Thank you so much for taking such great care of the place, we really appreciate it. Thanks too for the Escape Room suggestion too! We would love to have you back again anytime!
It was perfectly situated…right on the beach! It was clean and it had all the amenities we needed and then some. The proprietors were very friendly and accommodating. Loved the place and we will stay here again in the future.

This was a great place for our family of 3 for a quick getaway. Jake and Jena are awesome and the home is right on the beach with awesome views. The extra monitors and working desks were also very useful. Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend this condo.

Thanks a million Vimal! We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and glad to hear you used the monitors and desks!
This was a perfect stay for me and wife. The location was great for September. Quiet and isolated beach with super warm waters. Host was super, responsive and place was clean and cozy. Will return for sure.
Thank you.
I needed a beach break, and booked this property for a quick getaway. I was able to work remotely for 2 days, enjoying the beach views all day and the sand in my toes in the evenings! Great wifi, everything you need, very comfortable, and right on the water! I'll be back for more remote work getaways.

We spent a long weekend with our daughter who is a freshman at UNCW. We were able to hangout and relax. The condo is very comfortable and has amazing views from the balcony. The owners were easy to communicate with and very friendly. It was a wonderful weekend.

Heather, you and your family were an absolute delight to host! We truly enjoyed having you and it was so sweet that you sent us the picture of the spaceX launch you saw - I have been showing that to lots of people and everyone is really impressed! Thank you for being such great guests, we truly appreciate you and you're welcome back anytime!
Jake and Jena are amazing, caring and prompt hosts! Pictures of the property don’t do it justice! There were mandatory deck renovations during our stay, though the hosts made our stay very welcoming and accommodating! This location is perfect for an intimate and quiet getaway, honeymoon or business trip. We can’t recommend it enough!

It was such a pleasure to have you and your family Crystal! So happy you enjoyed your stay!
My girlfriend and I went for a long weekend, and were so pleasantly surprised when we walked in. The location is wonderful. When you look out of the balcony you’d think you were on a ship. The kitchen is well stocked for all your cooking needs. And, the bed is comfy. We didn’t let utilize any of the computer stuff, but it’s all there if you need it. Thanks so much Jake and Jena. Hope to come back sometime!

This was an amazing property. Extremely clean! Nicely stocked with all quality kitchen and bath items! (Those details make such an impact.) The instructions were detailed and clear. We had a random question, and the owners answered immediately! (A rarity.) The description was perfect and we had no surprises. The location was beautiful and peaceful. We would love to be back. HIGHLY recommend.

You're the best Cindy! Thank you so much for your kind words! We love hosting guests and it was such a pleasure to have you and your family stay here! You are absolutely welcome back anytime! Thanks so much again!
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and loved it! Jake and Jena were super welcoming and attentive as well as prompt with communication. They were also super accommodating due to the hurricane as well as some construction on the balcony which is why we chose to stay anyway. The private beach access was great and the beach was way less busy compared to what you could see down at the public areas which helped with relaxation. Parking was always available and we were able to check in early to the unit as well which was super helpful for us traveling from out of state! The unit had everything we needed and the a/c units kept us cool when needed. Jake and Jena also gave us recommendations on oyster and ice cream places which was really nice so we didn’t have to go searching! We would stay here again!

We are Jake and Jena from Vermont. We are originally from NJ / PA area. Jake is a lawyer /software developer. Jena does digital marketing. We now spend about half our time with our 2 dogs at Topsail Reef enjoying the beach and Ocean. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Why they chose this property
We looked for a place on the coast that was not pretentious where we could have an affordable month on the Coast. We stayed just down the road from the Reef and walked by it almost each day. Within about a year, we were buying a place at the Reef.
What makes this property unique
There is just nothing as close to the ocean as this. At times, especially in the winter months, its concerning how close it is. But the way the Reef and Local community works together is amazing and every year more is being done to preserve the community. We love walking up and down the beach, and often (especially early AM), we are the only ones in sight.
