Just a 2 minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean!


Enjoy a week or (less) at the beach, in the perfect spot by the ocean, at a very affordable price! Very Quiet apartment with no one above your apartment.

Apartment/ flat, is close to everything, especially the ocean!
Couple's so far, have found the accommodations to be more than comfortable and convenient, with adequate room to relax in style!
A well equipped kitchen, separates the living room from Bedroom/bath.
Bedroom leads to back patio where you can grill or sit out.
For your convenience, sheets can be furnished along with towels. Please let me know...because, some prefer to bring their own.
For those who will be visiting 3 days or more a washer and dryer are available for your use, in a private clean utility room next to your back sliding door! A grill on the patio is for your use ...weather permitting! Nothing fancy, just charcoal..

Enjoy listening to the ocean sitting on the front patio or take a walk from the driveway to the beach access, directly across the street!
Topsail Island is a barrier island. It is surrounded by water. Intra-coastal waterway is on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side.
It's a rugged island and has been through many hurricanes. Every one takes a toll but, Topsail comes back even stronger!
Come visit, see the history that made this island so interesting!!
Laid back and easy going, ride bikes if you want to rent them or rent a golf cart and tour at ease.
Many Island restaurants close by 9 p.m. ,
I might suggest, plan on eating earlier and party after!

Come as you are nothing fancy just a nice
time and great memories!!

A Little Slice of Heaven!
This is our 2nd time staying with Carla. You won’t find a better value that close to the beach any where else. The apartment is perfect ! No steps to climb, nobody beside or above you. Perfectly peaceful place to relax and enjoy yourself. Carla goes out of her way to make sure you are well taken care of. Exceptional bedding and towels. Front porch and back deck to enjoy on those nice evenings. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook your meals. So close to the beach! Just cross the road and over the walkway and there it is! The central location makes getting on and off the island a breeze for those like us who like to explore the surrounding areas. Can’t wait to go back and I just left! Saying goodbye to Topsail is never easy but knowing this apartment is waiting for us makes it easier to wait till next time. Thank you Carla for making our 40th Anniversary trip one we will cherish. Anchors Away.

A piece of Love Beach
Great host, terrific location(beach access across street, quiet neighborhood, we didn’t need a big place knowing you spend your time on the beach. Kitchen had every thing, nice to see the extras you might need to cook with but didn’t bring or need to buy . Comfy bed, loved the thick towels ! Would definitely book again .

Recommended Recycle venders/ please put extra recycle waste cans in rental so recyclables can be sorted . Plastics, paper, glass, compostable waste That way there will be no discrepancies when it comes to disposing of waste. Put signs on outside trash cans indicating recyclables and compostable waste. This would be beneficial for renters to know . Also land scraping stepping stones need to be anchored down or removed accident waiting to happen.

Loved our stay here
It was wonderful being so close both to the beach and to the restaurants while being on a quiet little road. The accommodations are very comfortable and welcoming. Carla has gone out of her way to make it a home away from home.

We were more than pleased with our stay at Anchors Away! Just perfect for the two of us! Could easily walk across the street to the beach access and just close enough to the “main” downtown area to drive a few minutes or walk if it wasn’t too hot. Very quiet area and the owner was so accommodating! The property was just as described-would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a very relaxing vacation!
