About this property
Marines peaceful retreat, TheStation @ AbbeyAcres Near Beach with Washer & Dryer
Welcome to The Station at Abbey Acres, your serene escape nestled in a coastal woodland minutes from the pristine beaches of Topsail and Surf City, NC.
What to Expect
Unwind and rejuvenate in this secluded sanctuary, where the hustle and bustle of daily life melt away. The Station offers the ultimate escape, yet it is conveniently located between Jacksonville and Wilmington airports and near Camp Lejeune, Geiger, Johnson, New River, and Stone Bay Marine bases.
Dining and Cooking
Whether you prefer to indulge in the local cuisine or cook in our fully-equipped kitchen, The Station caters to all your culinary desires.
Book Today
The Station books fast, so reserve your spot now for an unforgettable experience.
The Space
The Station boasts two beautifully appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms:
Van Gogh’s Almond Blossoms Room:
Features a queen bed and a private en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a sound machine.
Petal Whisper’s Room:
Offers another queen bed and an adjacent guest bathroom with a shower and tub combo and a dedicated work desk and chair.
Both rooms offer luxurious bedding for a restful and relaxing experience.
Amenities
Laundry:
Top-of-the-line Speed Queen washer and dryer are available. This commercial-grade washer offers environmentally friendly wash cycles and is available with complimentary eco-friendly laundry detergent.
Essentials:
Towels, linens, and a starter set of toiletries are provided for convenience.
Alternative Options
If The Station is unavailable for your desired dates, consider staying at The Safari & The Spiral on Vrbo, also part of the Abbey Acres community, where guests like you are welcome to stay.
Guest Access
Enjoy the freedom of a keyless self-check-in, making your arrival seamless and stress-free. During your stay, you’ll have access to Abbey Acres, an expansive three-acre area surrounded by nature.
Host Interaction
You're in great hands. We're a service-disabled veteran-owned and operated small business. Our property is professionally managed and cleaned after each stay. Feel free to reach out with any questions before or during your visit.
Location
The Station offers a unique combination of privacy and convenience. Tucked just off in the woods yet close to significant thruways, you’ll be ideally situated to explore our best beaches and Marine bases. Located between Jacksonville and Wilmington, you’re at the heart of everything.
Additional Details
This slice of heaven beats staying at a hotel and is more affordable and closer to Marine bases than staying at the beach.
