Cozy couples retreat, dog friendly, 1 block to ocean or sound

Quiet street 1 mile from north end of North Topsail, across street from the St. Regis. 1 block or less to public beach access and public pier/dock. Queen bed, spectrum internet and 15-channel cable package, wall-mounted TV that can rotate to watch from bed or sofa. New AC, LVP flooring and sofa in 2025. Full-size washer and dryer added downstairs in 2026. Kitchen has the essentials including coffee maker, toaster and stock pot for your shrimp boil. Outdoor space equal to three rooms -- front and back deck, choose sunshine or shade. Under the house is completely screened in with TV, ceiling fan, couch for a nap, minifridge, and shower with hot and cold water.

In short, the place is small but has everything you need for a cozy couples getaway. The large, comfy sofa provides room for 1 more person, so bring a child or a friend if you want!

Dog friendly, with 4x8 kennel in the screened in breezeway and 2 crates available for inside. (Pet fee $25/night. Please check box under number of guests when booking.)

St. Regis has top floor restaurant/bar and the open-air Tiki Bar is a short walk and features local characters who will welcome and entertain you!

About the host

Hosted by Luke Glusco

Host profile image
Jodi and Luke live in Raleigh and finally realized their dream of having a beach property in March 2023. We're hooked, and constantly looking for ways to upgrade. We hope you'll find the place awesome now and even better if you return in the future!

Why they chose this property

We love that our street is a bit out of the way and fairly quiet, yet the beach and sound are a very short walk away.

What makes this property unique

The dog kennel, outdoor shower and decks are among the things we really like.
