Come and try the 'Larry’s Lazy Susan Experience' at Topsail Beach for a Lazy relaxing refreshing vacation which our guests have enjoyed since 1994. Larry’s Lazy Susan has been recently expanded and renovated by myself an Architect to provide you with a relaxing home to experience the beauty and wonderful sights and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean.

Your family will enjoy Larry’s Lazy Susan a peaceful Lazy getaway at our beach house only a short drive from shopping, dining, golf, fishing and other activities. The house is located on a secondary street off the beaten path great for jogging and cycling. You will feel like you are literally on the beach with only a few steps, COME SEE HOW CLOSE!!

Larry’s Lazy Susan has two wonderful oceanfront decks for your family and friends to enjoy. An intimate upper deck allows you a panoramic view of the beaches below. Enjoy sitting up here and relaxing in the warm Carolina sun. The lower deck offers a cooler, shaded retreat to sit on while watching your children play in the sand.

Bring your fishing poles and try surf fishing, you may catch something great for dinner! Our house accommodates up to 13 guests with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths.

Larry’s Lazy Susan is a short drive to downtown(approximately ( 5 miles)

A typical day for us includes morning coffee on the ocean side deck watching the shrimp boats just off shore dragging their nets, birds flocking behind feeding on the left over shrimp and fish. The dolphins trailing behind and the pelicans are floating in formation along the shore.

After a walk on the beach looking for shells and sharks teeth, we decide to set up our beach chairs and umbrella for a day of sun bathing and swimming in the surf. We take a break to play some beach games, volleyball and fly a kite.

After a fun filled beach day and as the sun begins to set on the sound side, a beautiful view is afforded from the three decks on the street side. After dinner is prepared in the kitchen which has a view of both the ocean and the sound, the dining room which seats 8 at a square table has a wonderful view of the setting sun across the sound, the breakfast/dining area has ocean view dining seating 4 at a round Loggerhead turtle table where you can enjoy the ocean breeze. Having this dining area located off of the living area provides the gamers in the family a great place to play games, put together puzzles!

The kitchen also has bar seating for three on bar seats where the family can join in on the preparation of dinner.

Come, enjoy and make your own memories at Topsail Island and Larry’s Lazy Susan. You will LOVE the 'LAZY SUSAN EXPERIENCE'

Great location on the beach with back deck to the stairs to heaven This home is absolutely the best Beachy decorated home at Topsail inside and out. Easy to pack all your gear in the elevator up to the floor you need. Perfect for me and my wife but has lots of room for many guests. Very clean and beautiful . This is a must stay or you will miss out!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It was a pleasure having you stay with us. We are thrilled to hear that the "stairs to heaven" and our decor helped make your trip special. We’ve put a lot of heart into the "beachy" theme—from the turtles, dragonflies, and flamingos greeting you on the exterior to the collection of shells, fish, and shark teeth inside. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the beach artwork and the loggerhead turtle breakfast table; there’s truly nothing like that view to start the day! We’re also glad the elevator made your stay more convenient. We would love to welcome you back for another beautiful stay on the coast whenever you’re ready for more sun and sand!

This place was lovely and just as advertised. We were looking for a house right on the beach and this couldn't have been any better! Just open the door and there you are! We appreciated all of the beach gear that was avaliable and had fun shelling and spotting creatures. The house was spacious (and cute!) and comfortable to just hang out in. It was everything we hoped for!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m thrilled that the house lived up to your expectations and that you made the most of the beach gear—there really is nothing quite like stepping right out the door and onto the sand. ​I’m so glad the "spacious and cute" vibe worked well for your group, and it's wonderful to hear you had success shelling and spotting local creatures. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to have you back for more beach adventures anytime!

Beach view unobstructed. Bottom of freezer not cleaned out. Dishwasher clogged; had to do all dishes by hand. Dishes in cabinets on our arrival were dirty. Toilet in one bedroom bore uncleaned evidence of gastrointestinal distress. Glass covering coffee table in den had a broken corner that could lacerate skin if not careful.

While we are glad you enjoyed the unobstructed beach views, we are sincerely sorry that the condition of the home did not meet our usual standards. We take your comments seriously and are taking the following immediate actions: * **Cleaning:** We have met with our cleaning team to address the specific issues you noted in the kitchen and bathroom to ensure our turnover protocols are strictly followed. * **Dishwasher:** We were unaware of the clog and have since cleared it to ensure the unit is fully operational for the next guest. * **Safety:** The glass coffee table top is being replaced immediately to ensure there is no risk of injury. We pride ourselves on our history of positive guest experiences, and we are committed to using your feedback to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide you with a seamless beach getaway in the future."

Over the past 26 years we’ve stayed in a LOT of vacation homes on Topsail Island and Larry’s Lazy Susan is absolutely one of the very best we’ve been privileged to spend our time in! Lightning fast communication, awesome layout for medium-sized groups (we had 7 and had more space than we knew what to do with. The elevator was such a nice amenity and the proximity to the sand (LITERALLY steps!) was incredible!! The views, the well-stocked kitchen, the super comfortable living area seating and the plethora of bedrooms and bathrooms ensure that we’ll try to stay here often. Thanks Larry for another great Topsail vacation and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Larry Martin

Host profile image
I am a self employed architect in Virginia, which has been very beneficial with our great beach house since we have renovated and added additional rooms in 2011. Susan and I have six children that were all young when we purchased the house. The house was perfect for our family but now that our family has grown, we expanded and renovated to provide more room. Additional renovations now completed after hurricane Florence with many improvements.

Why they chose this property

We vacationed at North Topsail Beach for two years prior to purchasing and rented our house the summer before we purchased. We love the secluded beach only a few steps from our deck (about as close as you can get). A great place to bring the family for a relaxing LAZY vacation. We love to swim, surf fish, boat and jet ski, fly kites, play in the surf, hunt for shells and sharks teeth of which we have thousands. Other activities include golfing, tennis, biking, etc. The house is on a less traveled street off of the main road (less commercial traffic), but very easily accessible and many conveniences within 5 minutes including several restaurants with affordable prices.

What makes this property unique

We are able to view nature at its finest, watching the dolphins play in the ocean, pelicans and gulls flying in formation, watching loggerhead turtles laying their eggs and watching them hatch at our steps to the beach(which we have done). Views that are spectacular from all rooms, multiple ocean and sound side decks and the PROXIMITY of the house to the ocean. The ELEVATOR which is extremely helpful for the elderly, disabled and moving in luggage. The separate under counter 50# ICE MAKER is a must for plenty of ice for drinks and coolers. Beverage refrigerator for lots of drinkd.
