After years of family trips to Topsail Island and creating wonderful memories, we now have our very own beach house – “AT LAST”!!! It is located on the south end of beautiful Topsail Island and is a two-minute walk to the beach. Appropriately named, “At Last” is truly the perfect beach get away with three roomy bedrooms, two baths, open floor plan, enclosed outside shower and even an outside sink to clean your catch of the day or all those special shells. It is so unique – definitely a beach house like no other. Although siding now covers the logs on the exterior, the house was originally built as a log cabin. Inside, you can still see the hand crafted tongue and grove walls in the living area and master bedroom. In the downstairs bedrooms, the tongue and grove, beamed ceilings give each room such a cozy, warm feeling.
The open living area, with grand vaulted ceiling, includes a kitchen that’s well-stocked with small appliances, utensils, pots, pans, plenty of dinnerware and silverware. The dining area has a table for six and a bar that seats three additional folks. In the unlikely event of rain at the beach, you can enjoy the living room 51” flat-panel HDTV, watch a movie on the DVD/Blu-ray player, read a book, play a game or put together a puzzle.
There's a long, covered front porch with rocking chairs and glider and a fabulous large screened back porch that's surrounded by your own maritime forest of Live Oaks. The private balcony off the large upstairs master bedroom (with king-size bed) is a wonderful place to enjoy the ocean view while having your morning coffee. The master bath, with new tile shower and glass doors, was recently renovated with new flooring, ceiling, sink, fixtures and nautical décor. On the main level, “At Last” has two additional roomy bedrooms with nice flat panel HDTVs, DVD players and another full bath. In the downstairs utility room, you'll find a full-size washer, dryer and extra refrigerator as well as storage for the provided beach chairs, boogie boards, sand buckets, and beach toys. Our home comfortably accommodates a maximum of eight guests with plenty of parking space. However, because of the unique features of At Last, we must adhere to a very strict no pets policy and no smoking.
Topsail Island is a beautiful, safe, unspoiled, barrier island with 26 miles of wonderful sandy beaches. “At Last” is located, on the south end of the island,in the family-oriented Topsail Beach community on a friendly, quiet street that’s great for biking, jogging, or strolling down by the water. From our house, it’s just a few steps up to the beach where you can relax, soak up the sun, and watch the waves lap onto the wide, sandy shore. Walking down the street, in the other direction, it dead ends into the picturesque waterway where sunsets are magnificent!
We looked a long time to find just the right beach place and know this is it!! Come on down, settle into our cozy home, stroll on the beach, cast a line, enjoy the area and we’re sure you’ll agree that you, too, have found your favorite beach vacation spot – At Last!!!

Loved the deck with rocking chairs to relax after being out on the beach all day. Neat cabin feel inside. Was a good place to stay, close to the beach.
It’ was a great time. Love the fact so close to beach. Our family has been here 4 times visiting “At Last”.

Thank you for continuing to stay at our beach home! We always look forward to your return, although we’ve never met in person we feel that our renters are family. We look forward to seeing you another summer.!
This was our first stay at Topsail and we absolutely loved it. The house was clean and is only a short walk to the beach. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. Jean and Susan were both a pleasure to communicate with and made sure that everything was good after we checked in. We will definitely stay here again when we make it back to Topsail.
I highly recommend staying at this wonderful home. The house was clean, check-in was easy, and the host was wonderful to work with.
A short walk to the beach, which was never very crowded. My family will book this home again next year.
We enjoyed our stay very much! The house is in a fantastic location for walking to and from the beach. The neighborhood was laid back and quiet, and the beach is uncrowded and gorgeous. If you’re looking for a safe, family friendly place to stay with a very short walk to the beach, this is the place for you!

Thanks for your review - that back porch is definitely one of our most favorite places! We hope to see you again soon!
House was a one minute walk to beach so location and price were perfect. Communication was excellent. Thank you for supplying beach chairs so we didn’t have to bring and the kids loved the outdoor shower!

It was great to have you and your special family! Hope you can come back again soon!
“At Last” was a dream come true! Even with the threat of Idalia, we had the time of our lives. The house was perfect and we could not ask for better hosts. We look forward to visiting again!
We had an awesome time. The house is beautiful and a couple of steps from the beach. Jean is the rental agent and she is fantastic. I had I great week with my wife and sons and our friends Topsail is a great place and this is a great home to experience it from.
Immaculate condition, a half a block to the beach, our 3 rd time renting this property. We enjoy it so love much !!!

Great home to stay in, with all the necessities.
First time to Topsail Island, we loved it. Our stay at "At Last" was very nice. The close proximity to the beach was a plus. It was a little warm upstairs, fans help, but could use a small unit to help cool better. Overall a wonderful experience. Thank you!

We are so glad you came to Topsail and now love it as we do but regret that you were warm upstairs. That’s not been a problem with other guests (as long as they keep the blinds closed during the day and leave the fan on.) However, after your comments, we were concerned and called the HVAC folks to come check it out – so glad we did! They found that some of the upstairs ductwork had separated, resulting in “cracks” that allowed much of your cool air to go to the attic. Not only that, it also was allowing the hot attic air to be pulled into the bedroom. Yikes! No wonder you were warm! Over the winter, we have replaced all the ductwork upstairs and downstairs. We hope you will return and see the difference it makes. Thanks so much for your review as it allowed us to learn of a problem and have the chance to correct it.
We really enjoyed the home "At Last," it was a short wall to the beach but the back deck gave you a country feeling. The house was well equipped with every thing we needed. We love Topsail, we've been coming for about 7 years and this was definitely our favorite rental! We definitely rent again. No complaints!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that back deck is one of our favorite spots too. Thanks for taking the time to write and review and we look forward to having you back!
This house is perfect for a mid size group, outside area is GREAT. This is our second year at the same house, hopefully we will be able to go back again. Access to the beach is wonderful. Communication with the owner was amazing.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Bentley
I grew up going to my grandmother's cottage on Topsail Island and loved every minute spent there. That beachfront cottage, however, was taken in Hurricane Fran (1996) and could not be rebuilt. For a very long time, I dreamed of having a house on Topsail Island. I met my significant other, Greg, a few years ago and found that he loved the beach as well. After talking for years, we began planning for a beach house and, of course, it had to be on Topsail!
Why they chose this property
We started looking for a beach place but soon realized it would not be an easy, nor quick, task. For so long, we looked at so many places but it had to be the right location, the right house, and the right "feel". In June, 2013, after two years of searching, we finally found it - "At Last" - thus the name!! It was perfect - right location, right size, unique, and that oh so special "feel"!! We immediately fell in love and love it more every time we go!
What makes this property unique
The uniqueness of a "log cabin" at the beach first got our attention and the beautiful setting among the Live Oaks was icing on the cake! We felt, when we first walked in, that we were "home". And now for the "rest of the story": A year after buying a beach house together and after eight years of being together as a couple, Susan and Greg were married - on the beach, at Topsail. Can you guess what song was playing as the bride walked down the beach? Yes, it was "At Last" of course!!!
