Big Sale on remaining summer weeks-Fabulous Beach House-2 min. walk to Beach!

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!!!

A much needed getaway "At Last"

We loved the cottage and everything about it. "At Last" is very appropriate as a name for the cottage as well especially when a vacation is much needed and you pull in and are there "At Last" and everything is perfect from that point on. We rented linens which provided bed clothes and towels for baths and kitchen. Jean can recommend a linen rental place if you like. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities for cooking and snacking and even baking, with a Keurig for your coffee needs. If you don't have your own beach chairs and such that you bring with you there is even a lot of that stuff there for your use but make sure you follow the few rules that there are and leave the cottage like you found it or better so you and others can continue to enjoy this gem. The hostess and owners are just the best. I would definitely recommend "At Last" to anyone looking for a wonderful cottage to hide-a-way in for a week or two or more.

Topsail- At Last

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay here. It was comfortable, clean, and a wonderful location for us. We especially loved the back porch! We opted to bring our own linens (sheets and towels), but the owner does have a linen service recommendation if you’d prefer that. The booking process was a little more involved than I’m used to (printing off a contract, signing it, and mailing to owner), but she was very generous and accommodating and simplified the process for me. In the long run, given the very reasonable price of the rental, it was worth the extra booking steps. Would recommend!
