Great House! Updated! Oceanfront Elevator and Private Pool
About this house rental
Beautifully Furnished and Newly Renovated Oceanfront Beach House.. Walk only 80' from the back door and you're on the beach, or sit on the third floor deck and watch the dolphins and the ocean roll-in. After a day on the beach, relax pool-side. The pool is open from April 1st and closes October 31st for the season. The pool will be heated before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. It is an additional cost to heat at that time and will be calculated by owner. The floor plan is a non-traditional design. The Great Room, Kitchen and Master bedroom are on the third floor. Thus taking advantage of both the ocean front and sound views from both sides of the house. It also has an elevator that serves all three floors, making the trip up/down a little easier. This non-smoking home features four bedrooms on the second floor, with a shared bathroom with shower and a jack & Jill bathroom with tub. Our newest addition is our Margaritaville blender machine to make your favorite frozen concoction for the young and old. The great room has generous seating for 10 overlooking the ocean with a fireplace for cooler weather. There is plenty of seating in kitchen and bar area to eat. The modern kitchen is fully equipped and has an additional stand-alone ice maker for those hot days! The house has plenty of games and books for down time. This bright and fresh beach home has hardwood floors and area carpets. There is a private hot and cold shower outside. If you like an uncrowded beach and all the modern amenities that a house can offer, you will fall in love with this location. A 20-minute walk takes you to the recreation park which has a playground, lighted tennis courts and basketball courts. Putt-Putt Golf is just a few miles down the road and the area's premier 4-star rated golf course is 5 minutes away by car and is one of Golf Digest's 'Best Places to Play' 2008-2009. If you're feeling more adventurous, visit the USS North Carolina Battleship in Wilmington (35 miles south) or the North Carolina Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores (35 miles north).

We loved being directly on the beach. It was never crowded. The rooms were all a good size. A handyman would be helpful for a couple outdoor stairs that were coming off, bedroom door that wouldn't lock, things like that. We couldn't find a vacuum so it was hard to keep the floors clean. I would add that to the house. And if someone could clean the outdoor grill - it was pretty grungy. The pool was wonderful - the little ones loved it! We had some issues with the elevator getting stuck a few times, but were able to resolve it. But to have your morning coffee on the deck watching the sunrise can't be beat.

The location of the house could not be beat! Easy access to the beach and a nice pool. The pool was not usable for the first few days but the owner was in constant contact with me giving me updates and information about when the pool technicians would be coming. It got fixed and we were able to use it for the remainder of our trip. Overall not a big issue. Owners were always available and responsive.

Great house, great location! We loved having the pool and the beach. The house was big enough for a multi-generational vacation that was restful for everyone. Suzanne was a great host.

This house was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed. The decor was beach themed and the outdoor areas were so nice. The pool was so close to the ocean and had a perfect view. This house is only footsteps from the beach, no need to drag a bunch of things to the beach. The owner was nice and responsive to any questions I had.
Definitely would suggest this to another family.

A week at the beach is a vacation we look forward to every year with my 3 grown children and their families. This was the first time we rented this house. First the good... this was a beautiful home with great views of the ocean from both the upstairs living area/bedroom and downstairs bedrooms on beach side of house. Very spacious. Both porches were covered and very comfortable. The swimming pool was a favorite of my grandchildren. Now the not so good... We arrived at 4:25 (check-in time is 4:00) and the cleaning person was still there, which wasn't a big deal except she had the elevator stopped on a floor with her cleaning gear and we had to use stairs to load our bags in. After she left, we noticed the house was not that clean, especially some of the bathrooms. We overlooked this because we were so charged up to begin our vacation time which was perfect. Now the real bad.. After we got home, I found an email that we were charged $250 for causing a crack in a bathtub. After looking at photo, I sent a response that we didn't cause the crack. In the photo it looked like a settlement crack which is what I suggested to owner and asked for a refund of the $250. When I received no response, the next day I lodged a dispute with VRBO. Then I got response. The owner said after further investigation she determined that the crack was there before we arrived, but that it got bigger during our week and that she was refunding our money. Then she said, the cleaning person complained that we left the house overly messy and wasn't anyone watching the kids?!! This incident tarnished our report of the week which would have been 5 stars otherwise. I should have been clued in when I saw some of the snippy responses the owner made to complaints in other reviews.

We chose Topsail, North Carolina to come together as a family after nearly 3 years to celebrate our mother's 75th birthday. This beach front property with views of both the ocean and sound did not disappoint! Spacious, bright, clean, friendly, and inviting! The large kitchen and dining room-family room allowed us to cook meals together, play games, and visit all at once! We even hired a local private chef to prepare a meal so we could watch the process from the comfort of multiple chairs or couches in the room and enjoy quick family pictures just steps away on a sea-glass filled beach! The cutely decorated bedrooms were spacious, included extra pillows and blankets, and proper storage space to keep a room tidy or spread out. Top Terrapin is a beautiful primary suite with large soaking tub, private shower/toilet area, plentiful closet, and its own entrance to the house-wide 3rd floor deck looking directly over the ocean. It even boosts a vanity sitting area, large armoire, and close full of kids games and family-friendly activities for late nights or a rainy day. An exciting lighting storm the last night was spectacular and summed up our trip in this home---magnificent!

Lots of room and well-maintained. Two things about the online listing: there are 3 king-size beds but it only mentions two (only a factor if you bring your own linens). And there was a $100 surcharge to heat the pool. It did not have that in the listing. Overall a very nice property.

Owners were very responsive when booking and with any questions or concerns we had. There were some minor issues (battery in key pad and red ants) when we arrived, the owners promptly took care of those issues. As for the house itself it definitely needs some TLC. Sliding door locks are rusted and barely work, some ceiling repairs were less than pretty to look at. Pictures online definitely need to be updated. The pictures online definitely do not represent the product especially the outside area and beach steps. I know they are experiencing some dune replenishment which affected the beach access which was not a huge deal to us, although an updated picture of what the access looked like would have been nice. The pool deck was covered in dune sand and weeds. we shoveled the sand and pulled the weeds to make it a suitable area for us. The outdoor shower had not been cleaned out in a long time, there were old razor, old bars of used soap, which we cleaned as well. After spending an hour or so cleaning the outdoor area it was a decent place to use. Overall the experience was good, the owners were very nice, would I go back, probably not.

My family had a wonderful time on our first trip to Top Sail. The view from this house is beautiful and Suzanne was very accommodating to any needs we had. I look forward to returning in the future!

Overall the trip was amazing. The home is beautiful and communications with the owners were great until the last few days. The kids loved the beach and the pool. The steps to the beach were a little daunting as the owner was still having them fixed. One party member fell and while okay - it was an inconvenience. The other challenge was finding restaurants to eat dinner. All the local places did not take reservations so it was a long wait on the nights we dined out. The beds were comfortable and the home seems well cared for. A few leaks here and there but that is par for owning a home on the beach.

We had to cancel at the last minute due to covid but Suzanne was wonderful when I was setting up our visit. She answered all my questions and was a joy to deal with....I do hope we get to stay in the future

I just returned from my stay at Terrapin Station and it was such an amazing home! It’s in a perfect location in a quiet section of the beach and it’s got plenty of space for everyone. It’s beautifully decorated and very clean. The beds are comfortable and rooms are quiet. I stayed in the master on the main level and my room was quiet even when there were people in the living room and kitchen. The elevator made it easy to travel between floors too! This is a jewel of a home and we will definitely return!

Enjoyed our stay at North Topsail. Lovely house right on the beach. The elevator was needed to help a family member too. Would stay again.

We enjoyed our vacation. Beautiful beach, pool and house. The grill didn't work, so I would have liked that to be better next time. Yes, there will be a next time.
