A dream is wish your heart makes", and the beach vacation of your dreams is waiting for you on North Topsail Beach! This Oceanfront B Lot home is 5 years old and very well maintained, with private beach and POOL access right outside your door. The ocean is calm and the beach is nice and wide providing plenty of space to hunt for shells and shark teeth, play beach games, fly a kite, or just sit and relax. The spacious 3 level reverse floor plan has plenty of room for your friends and family to relax and recharge. With parking for up to 4 cars, this property is ideal for multi-family getaways. The house boasts: 6 bedrooms; a fully enclosed garage and 4 stop ELEVATOR for easy loading/unloading of luggage and groceries; large ocean- and sound-side decks on EACH floor so your entire group can enjoy the sunrise/sunset and relax to the sound of the crashing waves; ceiling fans and smart TVs in ALL bedrooms and living room with access to streaming services and Blu Ray players; and family-friendly essentials provided to make your stay easier (pack-n-play, high chairs (2), safety gate for stairs, beach toys, etc.).
The 3 levels of living space mean you will have enough room for the whole group to eat, play, and relax together but also space to spread out and not be on top of each other. The convenience of the enclosed garage makes the ground floor a functional storage space for all of your beach gear and houses the large 4 burner gas grill, which can be used on either the front or back patio. The first 2 living floors each have: a king master suite, a queen room, a bunk room, and a hall bath with tub/shower combo.
The oceanfront king master suites each have relaxing ocean views and beautiful en suite bathrooms with a double vanity and large walk-in shower. The 1st floor bunk room has 2 twin over twin bunks and a large wall-mounted smart TV to maximize floor space for the kids to have hours of fun in their "bunk house". Guests can enjoy beautiful sound views from the 1st floor queen room. The queen room on the 2nd floor is nestled between the other rooms and the bonus room on the 2nd floor has both sleeping and play areas with a twin over full bunk and bean bags gathered around a large TV (with Blu Ray player) to complete the "kid club". The 3rd floor has a stunning completely open floor plan to fully take advantage of the ocean and sound views and cool breezes. The large kitchen with seating for 4 at the center island flows seamlessly to the 8 person dining table and directly through the spacious living room to the ocean deck with space for both dining and relaxing. This home has beautiful high-quality finishes (granite countertops, vinyl flooring with carpeted bedrooms, crown molding, and large double pane windows) and all of the comforts of home (dishwasher, disposal, washer/dryer, high speed wireless internet).
This property is our home away from home and we would be honored to share it with you!

This is an amazing place to stay! Our group consisted of our 92 year old mom, her 6 daughters and 1 niece--a girls getaway.The beds are SOOO comfortable. Everything was very clean and organized. We had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, utensils, dishes, etc.The furnishings are excellent quality and the ambience in the home is so soothing. The beach is also very clean and quiet, at least when we were there. There are SO many shells and beautiful beach pebbles! We had so much fun collecting them.We ordered the seafood boil and highly recommend it. It was delicious and such a fun experience to share! We found the owners to be so friendly and kind. They were easy to contact and so easy to work with. We enjoyed the hot tub so much as it was a little cold our first 2 days. Overall 16 thumbs up!
House and location are great, the access to the pool and beach are very easy, only a few steps to either. Kids were able to quickly and easily traverse between either making our stay that much more enjoyable.
We can’t say what a wonderful place this place was overall Everything is so clean and in wonderful condition ,so close to the beach yet the pool is nice too! We loved sitting out on the deck too!
Great location and rental. Very close to beach and easy access.

Thanks Josh for the review. We're glad you and your family had a good time. Please let us know if you plan to come back to the area and would like to stay again. I hope you have a great rest of your summer!
Great location and excellent amenities. Really appreciated all of the available beach chair, especially all of the chairs and toys for the kids. Thanks for the great stay!
This property was immaculate at a wonderful location and size for our party of 12. Everything was clean and we felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend this property! I am sure we will return!
We had a wonderful week at this beautiful home! The house has everything you need to have a wonderful stay and it’s just a very short walk to the pool and beach! Sara and Jeremy are welcoming and very easy hosts to work with. We will definitely be back!
This property and our stay were amazing in every way. The location was perfect, very close to the beach and with pool access. The home was spacious, very clean, and nicely decorated. We loved the Disney touches as well! Great communication with the hosts too. We will certainly stay here again. Thank you!!
Everything you could possibly need is right there. The house is beautiful and clean. The elevator makes loading and unloading a breeze. The hot tub is amazing. There are games and puzzles for adults and kids. We have stayed here twice and had a great time! This property and these owners are the best!
Our family had a wonderful vacation at Once Upon a Tide! This home is beautiful and so well taken care of and very very clean! The kitchen had all of the cooking utensils we needed, there were games and puzzles and plenty of sand toys (we added to the sand toy and beach chair collection). The owners are wonderful to work with too! I’m sure we will be returning to Once Upon a Tide!!

It was great to have you back! Thanks for the kind words and for being such great guests. Have a great rest of your summer and let us know when you want to plan another trip back to Topsail.
Excellent location, easy walk to the beach and pool which made kid control a dream. House was very clean with plenty of room for our team of 16 (7 adults / 9 kids). Owner quickly responded to any issues and was even complimented the way we cleaned up the house upon exit. Would 100% recommend.
We had 4 families for a week in October. Perfect location, so easy to walk back and forth to beach. House was gorgeous, new construction and all the amenities you would want. We had lots of kids, the bedroom setup was great. Two rooms with bunk beds made the kids happy. We will definitely rent this home again!
The place was very nice and accurately depicted in listing. Only thing I would say is cleaning service could be better. Some of bathrooms were not clean thoroughly. Not a big issue though.
We were getting together from different parts of the country for my Dad’s 80th birthday celebration! The house was beautiful, well-stocked, and up-to-date. The elevator which was a must worked perfectly the entire visit, which can be issues at other rentals. It was a good thing the house was so nice, since we were inside most of the week due to tropical storm Debby. The weather was the only disappointment all week. Would definitely stay here again in Topsail.
We arrived to a beautifully decorated house. The main living area was large and roomy. The kitchen was well stocked with a large island, and ample seating. We had a view of the water from the front, back, and side. We appreciated that there were two masters, with large well appointed bathrooms. The hot tub was used on numerous occasions, and was especially enjoyed in the evenings. The pathway to the beach was very close, and although we didn’t use the pool, it was nice to have that available. The elevator was a God send, and made it much easier to get around. We enjoyed a beautiful week. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
We stayed at this property the first week of June and it was one of the best beach vacations that we’ve had! The home is beautiful and very clean. The beach was incredible, we loved the size of it, the amount of people (not crowded at all), and the composition of people (multi-generational families). The house was well stocked with beach/sand toys, beach chairs, and boards. The weather and water temperature couldn’t have been more perfect.
The owners were accessible and attentive and went out of their way to ensure a good experience.
This is a very family-friendly home and location.
We really did not do much outside of the beach on this trip. My military-retired father spent a morning at the missile museum.
We had two great dinners at Shuckin’ Shack. We also hired Boil & Board one night to come to the house and do a seafood boil with charcuterie board (highly recommend).
We had a large family group consisting of my father, brother&fiance, 5 of our kids between ages 10-28 with some spouses, and 4 grandkids ages newborn to 5. Plenty of space and everyone enjoyed it! Will definitely be back to North Topsial and would book this property again!!!

Thank you for all of the kind comments! We are glad that we could help accomodate your family and would live yo have you back. And thanks for the Boil and Board recommendation. Have a great rest of your summer!
Location was great! Short walk to pool and Ocean. Nothing like reading a book and listening and looking to the ocean. Then later taking your book to the back and watching a beautiful sunset. You get both! House was perfect. Everything you need. (Basically just bring some TP, Trash Bags and Paper Towels) everything you need for the kitchen is there. (bring your favortie spices if cooking) Rooms were perfect with good beds. We had two teenage girls there at enjoyed the pool a bunch.
We would definitely book this house again.
This was our first visit to Top Sail Beach and we had an awesome time celebrating birthdays with family and friends! The house was exactly as pictured, clean and spacious, and had everything we needed. Just a short walk across the driveway to the beach and the pool. Our hosts were very responsive to the few questions we had. I would definitely stay here again!
Can’t say enough good things about this condo owner was wonderful and communicated With us regarding a township garbage issue he was great!! Would highly recommend this place
This is our second time at the property, and it did not disappoint! Our hosts were easy to get in touch with, provided us with a seamless check in and a clean, beautiful house to spend the week in! You won't regret your stay here! It was perfect for group of 10.
Our family of 10 from ages 4 to 82 found this the perfect place to stay! The location was amazing with the beach and pool just steps away. And the house provided plenty of bedroom space to suit all our needs. The kitchen was generously stocked with dishes and cookware, including a large griddle perfect for pancakes for a crowd. We even used the grill several nights. The elevator was a godsend for a couple in our group with mobility issues, not to mention a mountain of luggage and groceries. We have nothing but rave reviews for this great house!
Location was perfect, close to beach and pool- easy to go back and forth to give kids some downtime. House very clean and well stocked with beach gear. Loved the house decor and there were plenty of bath towels provided. Looking forward to returning next year!

About the host
Hosted by Sara Grove
My husband, daughters, and I have been vacationing at Topsail for years. We love the home town feel of the area. Even over holiday weekends umbrellas aren't stacked 3 deep. You have space to spread out and enjoy the beach and waves with your family. The beach really has a natural quality; we have seen horseshoe crabs, sting rays, starfish, hermit crabs, mole crabs, clams, sand crabs, and so many types of fish. We can't wait for your family to fall in love with Topsail too!!
