Our family had so much fun. It was perfect for what our family needed. We loved the closeness of the beach, having the inlet right behind the house to fish, kayak and paddle boat. The beach was not crowded. Joann was very nice to work with and helped us out before we started our vacation and while we were there. If the opportunity ever arises, we will definitely stay here again.

Quiet Family Beach Vacation

Super quiet family oriented neighborhood. House was great. Would definitely recommend and stay here again! Minor thing was the beach access closest to the house is closed needing repair but another access available within easy walking distance. Caution with boat trailer tires with some oysters growing on the boat ramp also.

Ideal

Location of the property is amazing. To be able to walk to the beach and also be on the canal is probably the best part. For those of us who like to cook, the property has a full kitchen with all sorts of cooking equipment so it makes it easy.

Great stay overall!

Very spacious with plenty of seating and nice sized bedrooms! Wonderful location, just across the street from beach access. Host brought us a regular coffeepot for us caffeine addicts, which was much appreciated. Only cons were that the linens were not on the beds so we had to make them up when we got there and the hot tub was a bit dirty. Great stay overall, would book again! arrived and the hot tub was a bit dirty

Our 19th summer in Topsail did NOT disappoint

This house was amazing and the layout was almost perfect. Another bathroom would have made it 100%. A small hiccup with the city deciding to renovate the beach access for the first few days was not ideal, but not the fault of this house owner. We'd go back again!! North Topsail is GREAT!!!

Annual Family 4th

The place was perfect for our annual family July 4th trip. Location, amenities, neighborhood and host were spot on! The backyard boating access was super convenient for day trips up the ICW to the sand bars and the very short walk to the beach that had no crowds was nice any time of day. We would have already booked again for next year if we weren’t expecting a bigger crowd and needing even more room. We will be talking about the memories made here for years to come. Thank you!

Just what we needed

The house was just as charming as described. A very easy access to the beach. We had a disabled person and the openness was so great. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and watching the canal and visiting with neighbors we met. My grandchildren had a blast. A very good time was had by all. Joann and Ed were both super helpful and very accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Joann McDermon

Host profile image
We live in N. Topsail Beach close to our rental home. We love it here and wanted to share the beauty of the island with others. We have had vacation rental homes for over 20 years. I am a local realtor and serve on town council. My husband is a contractor. Rest assured, anything you need during your stay can be easily taken care of!

Why they chose this property

You cannot beat the location. Where else can you put your water toys in for fun in the morning and simply walk to the beach in the afternoon! Enjoy crabbing and fishing from the dock. Jet skis, boats, paddle boards, kayaks... Bring your toys!

What makes this property unique

The absolute best of both worlds. Neighborhood feel, yet steps to the beach, your own boat ramp and dock.
