INSTANT BOOKING IF DESIRED!!


Well appointed and equipped for all travelers. If you want excitement & activity, there is so much: swimming in the crystal clear Gulf or the beautiful Summit pool and hot tub, putt-putt golf, basketball, nature trails, etc. In addition. the building to the right-front of ours offers pay-to-play pickle ball courts - you would need to scan the QR code in front of the courts (right by the putt-putt area) to get the price and instructions for obtaining the code to enter. And, you have access to the beach with ability to rent chairs/umbrellas, paddle boards, kayaks, and jet skis, etc. Also, the Tops'l Master Association in charge of the 52-acre property provides food trucks/ice cream trucks during the Season from Memorial Day through Labor Day. **Excluded are access to the Fitness/Tennis Center and the Blue Dunes Beach Grill and Pool.**

If it is peace and quiet you want, you can have that too as this unit overlooks the Topsail Hill Nature Preserve. King size bed in Primary bedroom with emerald water view. Guest room has 2 FULL (not Queen) beds.

Why do you come to this part of Florida? To see that emerald water and sugar white sand, of course! This unit has that and more. From the balcony you view the pristine Topsail Hill Nature Preserve and gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. From the front, you can even see the fireworks from Baytowne Wharf and views of the Bay. 3 elevators make this very accessible and the walk to the beach is very short (approximately 300 yards with no road to cross.)

Three rare coastal dune lakes provide excellent freshwater fishing. (The only other locations in the world for coastal dune lakes are Australia and New Zealand!) Boats are not allowed but you can fish from the shoreline for bass, bream, panfish, and catfish. Lakes, pristine beaches, old-growth long leaf pines, sand pine scrub, and a variety of wetlands offer a bird-watching and hiking paradise.
