About this property

Entire place

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.

We were only able to squeeze out 3 days, but they were amazing. Sea spray in your face from the balcony. Dolphins with your morning coffee and the sound of the waves to wash the stress away. Perfect for a couple.
Mornings so not dissapoint.
High tide gave way to a new game...Splash Stairs. Have a seat and enjoy! It's Brisk!
Morning coffee wont be the same....

We never stuck foot in the condo. I was upfront when I rented it about us just needing a place to stay just to go to Camp Lejeune to spend time with our son. It was way further than what was put in the description. We lost that money and got something closer. There were no close restaurants, the parking lot was terrible.
