Oceanfront Retreat with Sweeping Atlantic Views – Direct Beach Access, Sleeps 11


Step right onto the sand from this oceanfront home in North Topsail Beach, NC, where sweeping Atlantic views, star-filled skies, and dolphin sightings come with the territory. This is one side of a duplex, with your own private entrance, parking, and decks. Perfect for families, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath retreat sleeps up to 11 and sits along a quiet stretch of beach with no nearby public access, so it rarely feels crowded.

Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements

Rest to the ocean breeze and sound of the waves in the oceanfront queen bedroom, complete with a private deck — watch the sunrise from your bed or step right outside for it. The adjacent queen room also has its own private deck, this one facing the sound side, perfect for catching stunning sunsets. The kids' room features a bunk (queen on bottom, twin above) plus an additional full bed, along with ocean views and a small private deck of its own. The King Suite sits just off the main living area, with the second full bathroom close by,

Living Space

Coastal charm flows throughout, from the décor to the light, airy vaulted ceilings. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, full-size appliances, and a dining area large enough for the whole group. The deck extends beyond the great room for uninterrupted Atlantic views — walk straight out to the beach from here anytime.

The house was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the balconies. The beach was incredible. We wanted to find a property that was as close as possible to the water. Even with a bad back and hip access was good. I had several extremely helpful communications with our hosts. We would love to rent this property again in the future.

Great location. Residential area, so no hassle and bustle, which is exactly what we wanted. Amenities like grocery and restaurants were just a few miles away. Close enough, but far enough. House was clean and stocked. Access to the beautiful beach was easy. Foot wash and shower provided were great to rinse off. Couldn't have asked for more.
