This comfy second-floor 1 BR condo in Topsail Dunes on North Topsail Beach is oceanfront with ocean views and is steps to the beach on North Topsail Island away from the hustle and bustle and Surf City traffic.The complex has a pool open seasonally.
Perfect for a small family or couple, it sleeps 4 with a Sleep Number queen bed in master (adjust to your liking), 2 bunks in the hall for little ones.
We offer the conveniences and additional safety features of a Smart Home system - smart door lock (no keeping up with a key), thermostat, smoke detectors, water sensors and upgraded wifi, Google Home, and smart TV for streaming.
You can watch the fishing boats from the balcony and then take a short drive to get fresh catch to cook up in the fully-equipped kitchen. We've even left you a few cookbooks for inspiration.
In this primarily residential part of North Topsail island, the kids can play on the beach or the pool and couples can take a stroll on the beach under stars away from the bright lights and tourist traps - and the fishing is great from the surf, the sound, or the pier 2 miles away.
A short drive over the big bridge takes you to shopping and dining in Sneads Ferry. Drive down the beach to Surf City for more shopping, dining and entertainment, jet ski or kayak rentals. There are several boats that offer cruises around the island or out to Lea Island for shelling.
Nearby Wilmington (35 miles) offers more fun and entertainment, fine dining, ghost tours (!), and a battleship to tour. Jacksonville is also a short 20-minute drive for more shopping and dining options.
North Topsail Beach is known for shells, shark's teeth, turtle nestings, dolphins in the surf, and an occasional whale sighting during migration. Here, the sky is dark and the moon is bright and you can see all the stars at night. Watch the sun rise over the ocean and then see it set over the sound. Bring some binoculars to watch the fishing boats or ships on the horizon.

NOTE: We've been told that this doesn't show up on the listing until you book, so want to be upfront about taxes, fees, security deposit and travel insurance requirements.
** We do require the $59 travel insurance offered by VRBO that you will see when you book. We feel it protects both you and us should the unthinkable happen. Additionally, we require a $100 REFUNDABLE security deposit (for things like parking passes and pool bands). Lodging taxes and the VRBO fees go to VRBO - and we can't change those. **
