This newly remodeled, clean, and cheerful six bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom ocean-view house sleeps up to 22 people and has front and back decks to hear the ocean on every floor!  You will find harmony on this tranquil part of the island and can admire the sunrise, sunset, inlet, and the ocean from this three-story home. This dog-friendly, newly decorated house nestled in the private community of Dolphin Shores boasts a beach access and three stories, each with its own living area with ample comfortable seating, rainy day activities, and smart TVs.

Two of the bedrooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor, are large king suites with luxury mattresses and private bathrooms. Other bedrooms include two more on the first floor and another two on the third floor, enough room and separation for several families. The house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac right across from the private community beach access, offering a safe, short walk to the sand and sea (15 steps from the property to the beach access). This part of the island will lend you a serene beach stay with an array of restaurants, bars, and shops only a short drive away, but not close enough to cause a loud, busy vibe. This house boasts two outdoor showers (front and back of house) and plenty of covered storage for beach chairs and toys; there is also ample parking with three driveways and parking for up to 14 cars. The staircase at the front of the house will guide you to the first floor which boasts a large living room, three bedrooms (one king en-suite, one queen, and a queen and twin with an extra twin trundle bed under the queen bed), two bathrooms (one with double sinks), and a separate laundry room so you may return home with clean clothes. There is also a back deck with a staircase leading in to the large fenced-in yard as well as a front deck with shaded spaces to sit, relax, and enjoy the ocean views. The second floor is the heart of the home with a sitting area perfect for yoga or reading, a large living room with ocean views, one king en-suite bedroom with a futon, and two bathrooms. It is also home to the well-stocked kitchen, a gourmet chef’s dream, with a Keurig bar, coffee grinder, Vitamix, stainless steel appliances, a dining area with a large table that seats eight, and additional seating (up to 14) at the kitchen bar and central island. Adults can enjoy a glass of wine in the ocean-view living room while the kids play games a short distance away upstairs. On the main floor front deck, there is also a large outdoor table with long benches that seat 14 people along with Captain’s Chairs to enjoy that morning sunrise with a cup of coffee. On the back deck, there are Adirondack chairs to watch the sunset over the sound. The sitting area has a sectional sofa with full/queen pullout for extra guests. The third floor, a child’s dream, has two bedrooms (one queen with a twin, one with two twins) and, a large sitting area perfect for games, jigsaws, or snack time, another bathroom, and an office/reading or game nook well-stocked with board games and books. One of the sofas offers a queen bed pullout for extra guests. Children will love the bright colors and ocean life décor while they create lifelong memories. If you have a whale lover in your midst, they will love the whale themed décor of the twin room (which also boasts some of the best sea views in the house). There is also a great deck with Captain’s chairs that provide 180-degree ocean views; a wonderful spot to watch an unforgettable sunrise or just enjoy the ocean without having to set foot on the sand! “The natural light in this house is amazing and there are so many nooks and places for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own space. Stunning views, effortless access to the beach, and all the details and thought put into this home made it perfect for our spring break.” -Tracy and James, March 2023. At “Aah to Zen”, we know your fur babies are a part of the family, and we welcome your pampered pooches (up to 2) for an additional fee per pet. The large fenced-in back yard and ability to bring dogs on the beach year-round make North Topsail Beach an excellent choice for the whole family. We are located on an amazing stretch of beach that allows for long walks towards either Surf City or the sound/inlet, a paradise for dogs. Dogs can also find great shade on any of the front and back decks. The private hot tub area has a large 8-person Vita hot tub with LED color-changing lights, a waterfall, and a variety of jets to massage any troubles away.
