About this property

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Northern Exposure - Beautiful Beachfront Condo Right on the Ocean.

Welcome to the Northern Exposure! Beautiful top floor beachfront condo with views of the North end of Topsail Island from the bedroom, kitchen and balcony (very few units have views from every room). Wake to a spectacular ocean sunrise from your bedroom window and then sip your coffee on your private balcony watching the dolphins swim by as the fishing boats head out to sea

Provided are: Free parking and Free WiFi! New Roku large flat screen TV, DVD Player, queen size sleeper sofa in living room. Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher in the well-appointed kitchen. Queen size bed and new Roku TV in bedroom. Set of bunk beds in hallway. Two bar height Adirondack chairs and table on balcony. Everything you need to make this your perfect getaway vacation spot.

Weekly (7 night) rentals only during beach season (Apr-Sept). Check in and out is only available on Saturday during this time. Off season rentals require a minimum 3 night stay but have flexible check in/out days. PLEASE NOTE that all bookings will now INCLUDE complete sets of linens and bath towels for your stay (this was the most requested amenity and we are happy to now be able to provide it). We also now have keyless entry (no more keeping track of keys).

Please check out the photos: This isn't simply near the beach or have a view of the beach, you are literally on the beach. The North end of the island isn't crowded even at peak season and provides you plenty of space to enjoy a quiet and relaxing stay.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR TRAVELERS:

Sandbags are in front of all Buildings in North Topsail and the beach directly in front of the building may not be accessible during high tide. There is always beach access and availability that is easy to get to by using the public beach access to the left of building 1 (our building) which is just a short walk away (please see photo).

Please take note that this is a 3rd floor condo with no elevator. While the 3rd floor provides breathtaking views, guests who may have difficulty ascending stairs with luggage, groceries, etc. should take this into consideration.

If you have any questions or concerns, PLEASE inquire. We want to make certain that you have a wonderful stay at the Northern Exposure.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The condo also includes a coffee maker.

Sandbag Beach

The property owner failed to disclose the severity of the “sandbags” on the beach. The 10 feet by 4 feet bags surround the entire unit and are stacked 10 bags high. You can walk over sandbags during low tide to get to a narrow beach area adjacent to the property. During high tide, you must walk on street to get to the beach. The back of the building is inaccessible during high tide. Asthetically unappealing to say the least; a total bummer, and very inconvenient, and unsafe. It’s very sad what’s happened to this area- full disclosure and pictures should be posted with the listing - Saying there are sandbags on the beach is a gross understatement. False advertising to say the least.

Lovely location, not ideal stay

The view from the property is excellent and really right on the water. The beach is highly eroded and it is not possible to access the beach from the condo during mid to high tide (as stated in the listing). The appliances are quite dated which made cooking food during the tropical storm challenging. We spent several days dealing with a leaking ceiling and very high humidity in the condo. Lack of amenities was frustrating for this price point— no soap, trash bags, toilet paper to even get you started . Communication with host was good and we appreciated the updates on the storm and potential for flooding.

Nice, a little smaller than anticipated, but cozy. Not much storage space. Bedroom and kitchen windows need sun blocking curtains. View was good. Not much beach at high tide. Overall, it was fine. Host were helpful with information and the rental process was easy.

Relaxing Week

My husband and I had a great week of relaxing on the beach. This condo was plenty of room for the two of us. The host was in contact with me from the time I booked it, giving me a lot of helpful information. The keyless entry was great, not having to remember a key every time we went out. The place was clean and provided everything we needed. Outstanding views from the balcony, we were up two different days to see the sun rise.

Awesome Views and location

Location and the views are amazing. Communication with the host is spontaneous and was very helpful. We stayed during Hurricane Idalia and the host kept us updated with weather as well as potential flooding power outages. It is a 3rd floor condo so you have great views but also there is no elevator. The condo is tastefully decorated and clean. Condo is directly on the beach and close.

Great views and nice host!

The views from the balcony are absolutely stunning as you get to watch the sunrise every morning right from the balcony or the full-length kitchen window. Lisa is very responsive to messages and genuinely believes in guests having a comfortable and great experience at her place. We made wonderful memories as a family during our visit. Will definitely stay again if we get the chance!

Nice Condo on the Beach!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo directly on the beach. The view was amazing! The weather was great! We beached it everyday and we were very grateful for the handheld shower at the steps that made it very easy to clean us and all of our things off! We ventured out to the surrounding areas and enjoyed lots of great restaurants and activities like the Ghost Crab Hunt through Ecological Marine Adventures in Surf City. The kids learned how to catch and learned different things about ghost crabs. The kids loved it so much we went out the next two nights as a family hunting for ghost crabs at the condo. The condo owners were very helpful and attentive to any questions and concerns we had and had great communication with us!

The beach/ocean views from this condo is amazing. We didn’t even have to leave the condo to get a view of the sunrise. We enjoyed our stay. The condo is nicely decorated and gives you the beachy feel. Everything was clean and tidy. A plus for this condo is it does have a dishwasher. We didn’t use it but if you plan on preparing meals, it is a nice amenity. We have stayed in two other condos at Topsail Reef and they did not have a dishwasher.

Awesome week at the beach!

Our favorite part of our stay was definitely the balcony that provided amazing views and sounds from the surf! The shower was very refreshing. We had a slight issue that was quickly resolved after the owner was notified. It is a very family friendly and quiet area. We never had an issue with noise. The only negative was that the bathroom had a bad odor to it. No matter what we did we could not get rid of it. We kept the door partially closed the whole time.
