About this property

Haven in Topsail Beach: 4BR Oasis with Ocean & Sound Views! Walk to Town

Escape to the charming south end of Topsail Island. This stylish 4-bedroom vacation home sits just two blocks from top-notch krestaurants and entertainment, with the beach 1.5 blocks away and the sound just steps out the back door.

Summer rental is a Sunday to Sunday stay. Avoid the high Saturday turnover and enjoy a full Saturday on the beach!
**The Home**


Step inside and discover beautiful LVT flooring, a modern granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a spacious living area designed for gathering. The master suite on the first floor features a king bed and ensuite bath, with a queen guest room and kids' bunk room (twin bunks + convertible couch) on the same level. Upstairs, a second queen guest room has an enclave with a desk — for staying on top of work, if you must.


**Everything You Need Is Here**


We've thought of the details so you don't have to. Linens, towels, and essential paper products are included. The kitchen is stocked with cookware and essentials, and our "pay it forward" pantry comes loaded with seasonings, condiments, and basics — take what you need, leave what you can for the next guests.


For beach days, we provide a beach cart, chairs, a pickleball set, and beach games. Need body boards, surf gear, or bikes? Sweet Dreams and 50 South Surf both deliver directly to the house. Use Instacart to have groceries from Publix delivered to your door, or grab fresh seafood from Lewis Seafood market a few blocks north.

Beach vacation

Great location. Very walkable to the beach, restaurants, local shops, house was well stocked with supplies. The only negative I can even come up with is that the primary bedroom mattress had a plastic mattress cover which was noisy and made the bed warm/not breathable. Minor in the scheme of things. Great property, would definitely stay again.

Quick Trip to the Beach

Home was very well appointed and as described. Lots of extras so if you forget anything, they probably have it. Love the “pay it forward” approach because the kitchen had every spice I needed! Location is very close to beach access. Great communication from the property managers. The main grocery stores are a little far (20min) so make sure to bring what you need or stop on the way in so you don’t have to drive out. Overall it was a great stay with really nice views and lots of patio areas off the living rooms and bedrooms to enjoy the sunset.

Much needed beach trip

Enjoyed our stay great views all over the property and definitely came in handy being fully stocked when there were things we forgot to bring. Walk to the beach is not long but be sure you grab everything the first go. Would recommend staying here for families and groups of 4+ as there is a great deal of room. Would love to come back here in the future!

The house was clean and not far from the beach. They had everything you needed to cook with which was nice because when we go on vacation we cook at home and eat out once. Not far from beach or sound. Great place.

About the host

Hosted by Diana & Ronan Kennedy

Host profile image
The Kennedy family started coming to Topsail since our kids were little. We are so excited to share our Ashford Sandcastle (named after where our girls' grandparents were married at in Ireland) with you. We do not live locally but have enough connections and local manager for any needs you may run into. We know a lot of the great local favorites from our years of visiting.

Why they chose this property

We think our 4 bedroom offers plenty of space for you and your family plus! With comfortable beds, bedding/linens provided, games, puzzles plus some pretty amazing views!
We love how convenient our place is in the south end where you can enjoy being on island time. Easy and quick walk to either sound or beach access. Surf City and mainland are a short drive.

What makes this property unique

Minute walk to the beach or the sound! The views from either side give you amazing sunrise, ocean and sunset views! We have added a nice swing so you can lay and enjoy the ocean view or stars while soaking in the ocean breeze.
