Description

Welcome to some of the most spectacular views on Topsail Island! Architecturally designed and built to the highest height allowed on the Island, this home enjoys a panoramic 360-degree view of the ocean, beach, Intracoastal Waterway, and islands. You'll love the mahogany elevator with four-floor service, including a covered inclement weather entrance on the ground floor through a terra cotta foyer, with a window overlooking the islands of the Intracoastal Waterway during the ride up, and stops on any floor. 6,500 square feet of total living space includes a 3,000 square-foot-interior plus 3,500 square feet of decking with 360-degree verandas surrounding the entire house on three different levels, including more than 1,000 square feet of sunning decks on the top floor with stunning views all over the island, and 2,500 square feet of covered shady decks to escape the hot mid-summer sun while still feeling the ocean mist and gentle summer breeze, also surrounding the entire house. Decks feature complete side catwalks on all three levels surrounding the entire house so you can always find a choice spot to capture the full breeze or sun or to escape them on the opposite side. There's also a bonus picnic and sand castle area on ground floor with the sounds of crashing waves in the background. The penthouse-level primary bedroom boasts a custom built-in maple bed and integrated wall unit with closets and roomy dressers. Awaken to views of the beach, the entire aqua ocean horizon, the emerald green islands, and passing boats of the Intracoastal Waterway. Also enjoy the wall-mounted HD TV. The penthouse en suite bath was meticulously constructed of 100% imported white Italian marble, with a unique frameless glass shower wall/door enclosing a two-person shower with a super high-flow invigorating rain head, plus an independent separately controlled detachable massage shower head on the opposite side, with a riverbed stone floor made of smooth aqua ocean stones and ocean glass, for an unbelievably relaxing and stress-relieving shower experience. There is even a built-in spa seat so you never really have to leave the shower! It also has top-of-the-line modern European fixtures and facilities. An amazing stainless steel and beechwood spiral staircase custom made and imported from Austria joins the third-floor to fourth-floor level, which never fails to dramatically unveil the most captivating views of the beach. A completely open vaulted cypress wood ceiling with dramatic indirect peripheral up-lighting surrounds the entire space, to enjoy a movie on the HD TV with the sub-woofer enhanced sound system. One-and-a-half kitchens include a complete kitchen on the second main floor with an eat-in table, as well as a bar kitchen on the fourth penthouse level with a full sink, dishwasher, fridge, and microwave. Two family rooms each have HD TVs. The formal dining room on the top level is furnished with an elegant counter height table and chairs, plus more seats at the granite circular bar, all overlooking the spectacular panoramic ocean and Intracoastal view. There is a teak table that can be used indoors for supplementary seating or outside on the deck with a shade umbrella. Top-floor deck furniture includes the tall bar-height Adirondack chairs and table looking over the railing for the absolute best views of the island, day or night. Nighttime star-viewing is spectacular since the top level is above the light pollution of streetlights! The second primary bedroom is on the same floor as the main kitchen and family room and features a ceiling fan, a private bath with a large garden tub for a relaxing moment away from the crowd, a separate shower, and a separate vanity area so two can get ready for the next event at the same time. The kids' room has a bunk they'll love. There are also two separate beachfront guest bedrooms on the third floor level with ceiling fans, along with a high-ceiling covered deck, which also has an outdoor spiral stair down to the second-floor family room deck level. A large bath on the third floor features a separate tub with a shower plus an independent shower stall. Enjoy plenty of deck furniture to admire the outdoors, including many Adirondack chairs and lounge chairs, plus a very unique solid teak, carved table and chairs sculpted into the form of giant teak crabs! A very large in-ground pool and built-in hot tub will surely be the highlight of your family vacation. Take advantage of having a fully enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water, plus a beach access dune crossover right in front of house. Extras include broadband WiFi and two-zone high-power AC and heating systems. Things to Know The pool house is closed to guests but the top floor sundeck is open. The private pool is typically open from May through October.

The house had a amazing location! The penthouse floor was amazing and elegant and the view was breathtaking! The main living room and kitchen area needs updating with a fresh coat of paint or at least some deep cleaning. All the decking could use to be replaced. There were boards sticking up making it hazardous.

House needs updating

Overall, the property was very nice and very close to beach access with a very nice pool. The house needs a little work, such as a paint job and de-cluttering of the main kitchen as it was very cramped and you could barely walk around the table. Thank goodness for the elevator as the spiral staircase was difficult to maneuver. The queen size beds were extremely uncomfortable and the master really needs a ceiling fan for air circulation. There were plenty of plates, cutlery and glasses, while other utensils were missing, such as serving spoons. We did come across several cockroaches in the house, which was concerning. We didn't have internet access for 2 days, but the service man that came out was very intent on getting it fixed for us. Very quick response when calls were made to vacasa with issues.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the home's proximity to the beach and the pool, as well as the quick response from our local team regarding the internet issue. We are sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced with the kitchen space, the comfort of the queen beds, and the absence of a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Your comments about the paint, clutter, and missing utensils are very helpful, and We will be sure to pass them along to our local team for review and improvement. Regarding the presence of cockroaches, we completely understand how concerning that must have been. Please know that we take pest control seriously and will notify our maintenance team to address this promptly. Thank you again for your valuable insights. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to host you again with an even better experience.

Beds were super comfortable. This house is surface level clean and could definitely use a deep clean which I saw in some of the reviews when booking it. However, don’t let this stop you from booking this house! It serves the purpose that it is supposed to. You can’t beat having the third level view, pool and hot tub which majority of the houses in this area don’t have. The beach access is basically right out the back yard too!

The house is in a wonderful location within a few steps of the beach and the views are wonderful. However, Vacasa was did not resolve the 2 service requests we called in. This made us very unhappy.

Other than the elevator not working and my mother not being able to enjoy the top deck very much because of the stairs, this house was amazing. Beach access was very close. Pool and yard area was a huge hit with the family. The deck over the garage was so nice, that we were able to set up out cornhole boards up there. This house made my family very happy. Would definitely book again.

Top floor and bedrooms had nice ocean views and were well furnished. Great decks and furniture and beautiful/big pool hot tub. Great spaces upstairs to enjoy coffee/food indoors or out but difficult with two fridges on multiple levels and full kitchen only on bottom floor. Close to beach, with a small private service road in between, but closer walk than some beach houses on the beach. Vacasa staff were quick, friendly, and extremely helpful when needed.

Perfect Oceanfront Home

This house was fabulous! Very clean and lots of gathering spots. The panoramic views from the top floor was our favorite spot to hangout. I love the sleepy beach town feeling. The pool was a perfect addition to our trip! I would rebook this home next summer!

The home is fantastic because of its location on the beach and its amenities, including an elevator and a swimming pool. In addition, you can watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets from any of the decks.

Gorgeous home! We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The location is great, with many amazing views on all the decks! Here comes the but.. we were very disappointed that no one ever came out to assess the situation with the hot tub! We never had the hot tub working while we were there, even with multiple communications with no response! That type of lack of response is troubling to me. This was a home in the top-tier which we paid for and I expected to have everything working. We also had issues with the TVs, which finally got resolved the middle of the week. A refund of some kind without the use of the hot tub is expected. The hot tub is beautiful and we were very excited to use it! We have seen reviews before where it was an issue so it’s not a first time problem. Please try to address for future occupants of the house because you have a gem there !
