About this property

Peace, quiet and plenty of beach

We have some great weeks left this spring and a few for the summer of 2024, so come and enjoy our beautiful ocean-front home. It is waiting for you and your family to enjoy. Our home has the space and location for a great vacation.
Our beach house is located in beautiful Topsail Beach, N.C. From the moment you walk in you'll be wowed by the large windows overlooking the beach and ocean. The large living spaces give you plenty of room to relax and spend time with the ones you care about. Whether you are looking to cook a great meal, relax in the living room with a good book, or sit at the dining room table playing games with friends and family, you can do it all while soaking in the great views of the ocean and beach.
The property features a large deck and a dune top platform for sunbathing and watching the world go by as you sit at the ocean's edge. We have direct, private access to the beach.
The main level features a master suite with its own deck looking out over the ocean, two other bedrooms and a second bathroom. The living room is large, stretching from the front to back of the house. The front wall of the living room is nearly all windows, giving you a great view of the ocean and beach. The kitchen is also large with two sinks, a microwave, a kitchen island with plenty of counter space for fixing a sandwich or a gourmet meal. The dining area is part of the kitchen and has comfortable seating for 12. Again, the front kitchen wall is practically one large window so you can enjoy your meal while watching the sea.
The lower level has the fourth bedroom that can sleep four, a third bathroom, a bonus/game room and a garage.
We also have an elevator for our guests.
Our walkway and deck feature an outdoor shower that allows you to rinse off the sand before coming inside.
Our home is ideal for families looking to spend time at the beach or large extended families looking to be together in a beautiful setting.
The living room has a 50-inch flat-panel TV. The master also includes a flat-panel television. The wifi is strong throughout the house.
The kitchen is well appointed with range and microwave. We have a coffee maker, blender, and plenty of dishes, bowls and pots and pans. We also have a large electric griddle if you need to make a mess of pancakes.
The washer and dryer are conveniently located off the kitchen.
Please note that is a 7-day, Saturday-to-Saturday only rental. Check in is typically 5 pm Saturday with check out the following Saturday morning at 10 am.
We do not provide linens or towels or beach items like chairs or umbrellas.
We'll consider one dog up to 50 pounds for an extra $100 fee but contact me ahead of time so we can talk.
There are four grocery stores within a 15 minute drive of the home (IGA on the island in Surf City, Food Lion and Publix on the mainland and Harris Teeter near Highway 17).
The home also features a keypad entry system so you won't need to fuss with keys. You and your family can chose your own four-digit code for the week.
We hope you enjoy your time at the beach and think of our home as your home. This home has brought us lots of joy and we hope it'll do the same for you and your family.

GREAT! HOUSE!!!
Sand in Your Toes was beyond our expectations. The house was perfect for our family of eight. We cook a lot and the kitchen had everything we needed. It is a quick walk to the beach for ferrying chairs and umbrellas. The porch was very comfortable with both shade and sun. Well, like I stated, an excellent beach house. Nick and Beth communicated with essential information and were very accommodating. We will definitely stay again. Sherry

Great house and location
The property was more spacious and much prettier in person. The view was amazing and there’s a huge deck to enjoy it from. The location in Topsail was great. Would highly recommend this property. Nick was always fast to respond with questions I had before I booked it.

Very relaxing home!
This property is laid out perfectly! We were able to have wonderful dinners as a family, put together puzzles on another table, play games in the garage, fish right off the sand, and the gates allowed our pup to enjoy the porch also. Owner was responsive. No issues and everything was exactly as described, if not much better!

Great home for the week
We loved our week at Topsail Beach, and this was a great home for our group. The layout of the home is convenient and comfortable. We also appreciated the abundant kitchen amenities. Nick was great to work with, and we enjoyed his recommendations, as this was our first visit to Topsail. We highly recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Wakeman

Host profile image
On one side of the family, our parents starting coming to the beach shortly after the island after World War II. It has been a place where brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and lots of cousins have come to be together, hunt for the biggest shark's teeth, learn to water ski, and enjoy the beach.
On the other side of the family, the dad (Nick) visited Topsail Beach the year before he met his future wife. He and his friends joked about buying a place of their own. It only took nearly 15 years before he and his wife were able to make that happen.

Why they chose this property

Buying this property was a once in a lifetime opportunity because it is so close to the home our extended family has had since the 1950s. We knew we'd regret it if we let this slip by.
When we first walked in we were amazed at the great views and the spaciousness of the living areas. You won't find this in many other beach houses. You'll have room to gather and room to curl up with a good book.

What makes this property unique

Visitors only need to open their eyes and watch the sun rise from the master king-sized bed.
