Patent Place: Spacious Second-Row Retreat with Ocean Views, Hot Tub, Community Pool & Easy Beach Access
Property Highlights: Second Row • Ocean Views • Beach Access • Private Hot Tub • Community Pool • Spacious Ocean-View Decks • Hampton Colony Community
Welcome to Patent Place!
Set in the desirable Hampton Colony community of North Topsail Beach, Patent Place brings together beautiful ocean views, generous indoor and outdoor spaces, and easy access to the beach for a laid-back coastal getaway with plenty of room for everyone.
Start your mornings outside on one of the home's spacious decks, where you can take in the ocean views and salty coastal breeze before heading down to the beach. With beach access just a short walk from the house, it's easy to come and go throughout the day—whether you're heading out for an early morning walk, settling in for an afternoon on the sand, or squeezing in one last trip to the shoreline before sunset.
Back at the house, the private hot tub offers the perfect place to unwind while still enjoying the coastal scenery. For a change of pace from the beach, guests also have access to the Hampton Colony community pool, giving your group another way to spend sunny days close to home.
Inside, the spacious open living area is designed for gathering. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light give the main level an airy feel, while large windows keep the coastal setting in view. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow together easily, creating plenty of room for family meals, conversations, games, and relaxed evenings after a day outside.
Five bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for larger groups, including three king bedrooms, one queen bedroom, and a bedroom with two twin beds. Additional sleeper sofas provide even more flexibility for your group.
Outside, multiple furnished decks provide plenty of space to spread out, while the enclosed outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse away the sand after another day by the water.
Whether you're starting the morning with an ocean view, spending the afternoon between the beach and pool, or ending the evening with a relaxing soak in the hot tub, Patent Place gives your group plenty of space to settle in and enjoy the best of North Topsail Beach.

Good

For the most part, everything was great! I thought the house was ocean front but it's not as close to the beach as I had hoped. We had a walkway to the beach so it was still good. Just wasn't able to hear the ocean the way I had hoped. Otherwise, we only had some minor issues that were taken care of quickly by the property management company. We loved the layout of the house and it was perfect for our group of 7 adults and 4 children. The house was little kid friendly, which was an added bonus! It would have been even better if there had been a grill we could use and some additional chairs on the lower deck by the hot tub.

Great Home and Location
The home accommodated our family of 12 nicely. The home was not near a public access and had its own walkway to the beach, which was very convenient.

Needs Attention
Property needs attention. Pool and hot tub out of service. Rusty furniture on deck. Rusty deck nails sticky up. Clothes washer moldy. This property falls short of expectations.

Overall the house was good with a Great view! We had an issue with the kitchen sink pipe bursting and it took 36 hours to get a tech there…. The fridge was warm on arrival and we had to wait 12+ hours for it to cool down. The initial code to entry didn’t work, but they were quick to respond! Otherwise no complaints.
The positives- lots of room, kitchen well stocked, the view, location of home, bedrooms/bathrooms were good. Hot tub was nice!

Multi family beach trip
We rented with two families, and had a great trip! The house was spacious and well laid out, clean, nicely decorated and had almost every kitchen item you would need. Be aware it is a lot of up and down stairs, more than you think from the photos to the beach, our older guests had a hard time. Also note, there are no beach chairs, umbrellas etc, so bring anything you want for the beach. The beach was beautiful and not crowded at all, we even saw sea turtles hatching one night!
The king beds mattresses and pillows were not very comfortable and probably at end of life, but it was nice that every bedroom has
direct access to a bathroom and porch. The house has lots of games and books, but no Wii console as stated in the amenities. Also do not walk around the yard barefoot, there are cactus type plants in the yard, 3 kids got long needles in n their feet. Overall very relaxing and well equipped house for a multi-family beach trip. Thanks!
Master bed upstairs is bad. Urine stains on mattress cover, support for mattress not right. Had 2 couples try out room and both said could not sleep in it last 2 nights. Stains on mid level cover on king bed on right side also. Toilet runs constantly. Air conditioning had issues. Ma
Despite these issues, the overall house was nice. Good space. Great views. Nice location w beach.had issue w pool being closed. Was repeatedly told by rental group that there was a “shared” pool we could use despite the neighborhood pool being closed. Turned out their salespeople didn’t know the property and the “shared” pool was in fact the pool that was closed. Caused a little bit of confusion

Unsafe deck
The location of the house is great. The house could be great but NEEDS some serious TLC. The deck is just all around dangerous- everyone got so many splinters bc it’s in such bad shape. Several of us were cut by rusty nails and I had one break off into my foot. The hot tub was gross when we got there and had to be cleaned. The floors need to be seriously cleaned. After only being there for an hour our feet were black on the bottoms. It’s fine if you don't want to invest in the property but don’t rent it out then. I’ve seen reviews going back to 2020 saying how bad the deck is and still no one is doing anything about it. At one point we were trying to hammer nails down bc so many were just sticking up all over the place.Also we removed the sheets like we’re supposed to before check out and the bed cover underneath that doesn’t get removed had gross stains and blood… so that was super gross to see especially knowing that doesn’t get taken off and cleaned regularly.

Worst Vacation Home
If you’re looking for a vacation home full of surprises, look no further. When we walked into this home, the floors were so dirty that our socks turned black and there was visible food all over the top floor. When we turned the ceiling fans on, dust went all over the beds, and the overall state of the home was much less appealing than photos.
The furniture in the living room is dilapidated and uncomfortable, the garbage cans are duct taped together, and the dishes and refrigerator shelves are super glued back together.
There are nails and screws sticking out all of the deck. The main king master bed was broken and they’d previously fixed with painters tape. After waiting 3 nights for maintenance personnel to correct, they stated they fixed the bed as best as possible but it needed replaced. The support legs were sideways and not touching the floor after they left. No one ever came to replace the bed or even gave us the courtesy of reaching out after multiple attempts.
Nothing in this home is properly fixed or maintained. There’s mold in the washer and the lights on the side of the house are literally hanging off by the wiring. The toilet seat in one bathroom doesn’t fit, the curtains have holes, and the beds are uncomfortable. Overall, completely dissatisfied by the lack of communication from home owners, lack of response to issues from Vacasa, and the state of the home. You could not pay me to book with Vacasa or stay in this home again.
