6 BR/5.5 baths on quiet beach. Penthouse suite. Free linens. Gorgeous views!

Well-maintained 6-bedroom townhouse with 5 full baths and a half bath.

The house holds 2 separate units with identical floor plans. Three floors of living space with decks on each level. The kitchen is spacious with countertop seating for 6. The dining area has a large round table that seats another 7. Three bedrooms have private balconies with ocean views. Two bedrooms open to a shared deck overlooking the ocean.

The first floor has 2 queen bedrooms, 1 bedroom with twin trundle beds, and a bunk room with 4 beds (2 are double and 2 are twin). The second floor has an open floor plan for living / dining / kitchen, a half bath, and a king master suite with a private balcony that offers ocean and sound views. The top floor has a penthouse suite (king bed) with a private deck facing the ocean. Private full baths for four of the bedrooms. A gas grill is provided on the deck off the kitchen. Great room has a gas fireplace with new 48” flat screen TV and DVD player. Dumbwaiter brings luggage and groceries up to 1st and 2d levels.

Free WiFi throughout. Outdoor shower with changing area. Garage holds 4 cars. Room for 2 additional cars on driveway. 392 & 394 New River Inlet Road. Note that some of the exterior photos are older and do not show a house recently built on the lot to the north. That new house is set back, so the views remain unobstructed.

This house has been earning rave reviews for several years. The entire house rents under a separate 12 bedroom listing (set the search filter to 10+ bedrooms and 10+ baths).

My communications policy: I will email you the door access code and instructions for using it three days before your rental begins. I will respond promptly (usually within the hour) during your stay to address any questions, including problems with amenities, safety concerns, and other concerns about your stay. You will also receive a document after you book with detailed information about your stay.

Contact me for fees to host a wedding or similar event. I also make occasional exceptions to allow well-behaved pets for an added cleaning fee. Ask me for more information.

Family Friendly

We love Topsail and have been coming for over 10 years. Although we are used to having a full house with more bedrooms, this one fit our needs. This house is also walking distance from the park which was awesome for our kids. Only suggestion I have would to maybe add more living room seating to accommodate more people sitting on a larger couch/sectional and also fixing the stairs and railing that lead down to the beach. We had a wonderful time and the owner was great with communicating!

Fantastic experience!

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at this fabulous property. Very spacious layout, kitchen is fully stocked, even with a separate beer/wine fridge. The owner, David, was extremely friendly and an excellent communicator. Very thorough and clear instructions regarding everything from check in, to restaurant suggestions to trash take out, as well as local urgent care and hospital information, and check out procedures. We had a few small things to suggest and the David was all ears. The property is very well-maintained and the location can’t be beat. Just over the northern bridge so grocery shopping is six minutes away. Literally almost across the street is a small playground the younger kids loved and our teens enjoyed the basketball court as well as tennis court. The pier is just a quick drive away or a bit longer walk on the beach if you choose. The beds were clean and very comfortable with ceiling fans in most room. The full baths attached to most rooms were also great when many wanted to brush teeth or get ready simultaneously. Living room was stocked with many games/puzzles for a rainy day and our big group had plenty of seating to all be able to enjoy meals together. We did not use the dumbwaiter, but that would be a great feature for someone who was bringing in groceries and luggage etc. The garage is great to pull into to unload or pack up in bad weather and it also housed many beach toys, and some beach chairs for those of us that forgot to bring them! The washing machine and dryer were also an awesome feature. It’s nice to be able to pack lightly and wash items throughout the week. We have never stayed at the same rental twice but this one is tugging at us to rent again! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the memories! The Quinlan/Backus Families

Great location, needs updated

This property was great, our family thoroughly enjoyed our time on Topsail. The main reason for the 3/5 rating is the furniture, all of it, is horribly in need of replacement. All of the mattresses were uncomfortable, none of the couches or chairs had any cushion left, and the upholstery on all the furniture was beyond worn out. Besides those issues, the experience and space was great. The location of the house is awesome, close to the grocery and shopping, and the beach was wide open and beautiful.

Perfect beachfront getaway

This home provided the perfect place to spend a week at the beach. There are a lot of steps, the dumbwaiter definitely came in handy for hauling groceries and bags from floor to floor. The layout worked perfectly for our group, as everyone had their floor to get some privacy if needed. David the new owner was very communicative and responsive to questions and checked in on us by text during our stay. There were a few things mentioned to David for maintenance and needs, nothing that overall detracted from the stay. Nice quiet area just steps to the beach. We would definitely look this home up again if coming back to Topsail.

Perfect winter getaway

Our kids had an unexpected break between semesters and we decided we needed a change in scenery from our DC suburb. This we the perfect low key getaway. The house is right on the ocean. We had 5 perfect sunny days in the 50s. Daughter was able to read outside every day. We collected shells, cooked a pot of seafood from Topsail Steamers and just relaxed watching the sunset. The rental is half of a very large home, split into twonequal townhouses. We could not see or hear the family on the other side. The house is lovely and was very clean. Everything worked as advertised, except the dumbwaiter, which we did not need. You are dealing directly with the McGraths who own both sides. They are terrific and have well deserved pride of place. If you rent this listing, take care of it as if it were your own. Enjoy!

Magical location steps to ocean

Wow, what a magnificent home! It is hard to imagine a better home or location on the NC coast. Paulette is a fantastic host with great communication and the home is very clean, nice amenities (thankfully including towels and linens), with sublime views from every floor and excellent soundproofing. Sitting in the living room, surrounded by waves and sunlight in every direction, it is hard to imagine a more beautiful spot on the NC coast. We will remember our stay for many years and hope to return very soon!

This was a beautiful home right on the beach. We had a wonderful time —it was a great spot for three generations of our family. The house was nicely equipped with sand toys, boogie boards, etc. Wonderful kitchen with everything we needed.

Topsail Vacation....Awesome

The property was amazing and the owners were great to work with. They care about their property and their guests experience and that makes it that much more special to stay here. Perfectly fitted for a large gathering vacation. Close to beach so everyone could take a walk, relax, read or get away from the crowd when they felt the need (and still be near and close). We will stay here again and hopefully soon. Thanks Jim and Paulette for allowing us to enjoy your beach house vacation spot in North Topsail Beach NC.

This is a great house, and a great location, literally steps from the beach.

This is a great house for an extended family. Plenty of room to spread out. Having a bathroom for every bedroom was really nice. The enclosed warm water outdoor shower was a great bonus. We had young kids with us and being able to get rid of all the sand before coming inside made keeping things clean a lot easier. My only real concern was that the wifi is not password protected, and we had 3 people working from there during the week. Overall a great experience.

Covid-19 vacation

We are long time vacationers of Topsail Island, first time in North Topsail. Great weather and amazing views from this home. For the price we paid, I think it's fair to say that our expectations were not met. Location: quiet beach immediately in front of house, but be aware, large public access with large public parking lot is approx 100 yds from home. Pros: many linens and towels included -well stocked kitchen -clean and bright decorating - amazing views and great walking beach (packed sand) Cons: this "house" is really a "duplex" or townhouse unless you rent both sides -Wi-fi is not secure, no password. We did not use it because of this. -Chairs on decks are flimsy plastic and not comfortable. -limited main room seating (1 couch, 2 arm chairs) considering the house sleeps 16 -The a/c kicks "off" if anyone leaves a door such as a heavy slider door "not quite snug" after 60 seconds. -Owners produced very helpful "instructions" via email 2 separate times prior to arrival, but in order to obtain our "access code" the day of arrival, we still had to speak to the owner and listened to her repeat the entire 3 pages of information , again. I'm sure she was just trying to be helpful, but we were in the middle of driving to our vacation. Homeowners had scheduled 2 handymen to work on exterior of home on our arrival day (during height of Covid-19). After a long drive to the house, we were greeted by two handymen not wearing masks (or shirts for that matter), coming in and out of home (bedroom access) numerous times for 2+ hours after we checked in. This meant extra cleaning and wiping down and fly swatting (by me) once they left... 2 hours into my vacation week. The owner had even requested that we allow the workers to return during the week to finish "non-emergent" repairs. Um, no. We received one half hearted apology from owners for this inconvenience, after the week was over.

Topsail relaxation during COVID

A really expansive and beautiful home. We were two families: 10 total, with the need for 5 separate bedrooms and this home met the need. Lots of steps, but we enjoyed the mini workouts and took advantage of the dumbwaiter for groceries and luggage. The owners were very attentive and checked on us on our first full day. No issues at all with the house. Modern, immaculate, with plenty of room for all of us. The weather was rainy for the first 4 days, that just meant we did more puzzles and card games indoors, and fished and surfed in the rain. It was a great setup for the amazing sunny days that followed. Lots of shell and small rock collecting. Other activities: crabbing at the gazebo, fishing contest on the great pier, sand castle construction, body and board surfing, SUP, Wilmington visit (USS North Carolina, Airlie Garden, Kilwin's fudge and ice cream), and ocean gazing. Great home and vacation. Thank you to the owner/hosts!

Beautiful and clean

We stayed at this beautiful beach house on the north end of Topsail beach. We found the house had plenty of room and was very clean. The only exception was that the dumb weigher was not working but they’re working on fixing it. The other thing was the stove was in need of some miner repairs. The handle on the lower drawer was missing a screw and completely off. While the rest of the handles needed all the screws to be tightened. Other than that there are 4 levels to this beach home with 20, 17, 17, and 17 steps to each level. Knowing that folks with any handicaps should not rent this place. We had an individual who was able to walk up any stairs and we all ended up on the ground floor in the garage!

We had a lovely stay. There was some confusion about the code to get in but we are resourceful and someone had left one of the sliding doors open so we were able to get in. I wish that we had known ahead of time that the dumb waiter was down but once again we are resourceful. The house is lovely and the weather was great. The kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed the grill. It was nice to have the beds made and not packing and hauling linens was a treat and much appreciated.

Spectacular property!

Silver Sisters is a group of sorority sisters who are all over 65 and enjoy a yearly reunion.We agreed to gather on Topsail Island this year. This house was outstanding. We rented both Sunrise and Sunset, giving us 12 bedrooms and almost as many baths.The decor was lovely, the decks perfect for gathering, the kitchens well provisioned,and the beachfront location perfect! We especially appreciated the dumb waiters to transport luggage and groceries upstairs. The McGraths were very responsive to our questions and quickly helped us resolve a couple of minor issues Perfect house for a large gathering.

What's not to love about a week on the beach!

In early April, the water is still a bit too cool for the fish to bite well and the grandsons to play for extended periods in the surf, but the middle of the day was very pleasant. The beauty is constant, and sitting on the deck reading a beach book never fails to relax. The house is lovely and spacious. There is room for everyone to sleep comfortably and even have a bit of bathroom privacy. Also, the kitchen was conveniently organized so that cooking for a crowd was a breeze, and Mr. and Mrs. McGrath provided a wealth of information about the area, so we were able to enjoy some of the local attractions and activities. Go and enjoy!
