Come enjoy the beautiful unobstructed views of North Topsail from the front deck, large living room window or secluded back deck. Small dock in the back with kayaks on site. Sooo much space in such a small footprint. Short walk to beach (400 yards) or drive and drop. Amenities include large washer/dryer, outside shower, Keurig machine, Internet, TV's, etc... A wonderful escape to watch the boats from afar as they navigate the intracoastal waterway. Watch the fiddler crabs wave at you under your feet as the birds dive into the surrounding bay.

Great little place

Nice location. Linens, paper towels, toilet paper provided big plus. Kayaks were a big hit even kayaks for the little ones. Water is shallow so its a good place for beginners Beautiful views of inlet. Bring your binoculars to check out the birds. Good neighborhood.

Just a sleepover

I really only slept at the property and spent the day at another property where my son's family were staying. This property is private, in a pretty spot, a bit aged but clean. It is convenient to many Topsail destinations including the beach and the inland waterway. The bunk beds easily handle 2 children (if one can climb safely) and the bed 2 adults. More if someone slept in the living room. I accidently broke one of the many kayak paddles for the 3 boats there. There are plently of life jackets, beach toys and other things to keep you occupied.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Barefoot

"A Friend's Place" was built in 1984 and was a one owner residence until September of 2015, when my wife and I were fortunate enough to purchase it. It is our Happy Place. When co-workers would ask us what we had done for the weekend, we would say that we ran down to the beach. Of course they would ask where we stayed. With that question, the name of our retreat was born. "A Friend's Place" The property has survived all that the Atlantic has thrown at it over the years, without the first insurance claim. I slept through Matthew and Dorian, wish I had never left for Florence (better safe than sorry though) - The only damage was the back gutter had come loose. So, you and your family can sleep safe and sound knowing that you're truly at "A Friend's Place".

Why they chose this property

One of the most secluded homes on the island, with water access for kayaking. The best 180' views per dollar spent. Small footprint with maximum space. Short walk to the beach (400 yards) or drive the family and beach gear around to the access, drop it all off and drive the car back to the house. Walk the beach, look for shells, kayak, fish, read a book all while enjoying nature's beauty.

What makes this property unique

Seclusion / Perfect get-a-way / Views / Beach / Kayaks / Maximum privacy for a beach rental / Watch the wildlife (Osprey / Orioles / Kingfisher / Gulls / Sandpiper's/ occasional Deer etc..) See the military planes/helicopter fly by's as well as all the stars in the sky.
