About this property

☀️Oceanfront - Private Beach Access - Fully Renovated - Dog Friendly - Sleeps 8☀️

Fully renovated and thoughtfully designed oceanfront home in North Topsail Beach, Steps To The Sea is offered by seasoned 5-star vacation rental owners/hosts. This 4 BR/3 BA home sleeps a max. of eight people. It has a private walkway leading directly to the sand. We provide everything you'll need for a relaxing vacation. Linens, towels (beach towels too), trash bags, starter paper products, beach chairs, a cooler, a sun canopy, etc. The kitchen is fully stocked, and we have floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets for your food storage, as well as a pantry closet for heavy items (cases of soda, water, etc.).

The home is two stories. The first level has an oceanfront king bedroom with ensuite bath (shower), an oceanfront queen bedroom and a bunk room that share a full bathroom with tub/shower combo. The washer/dryer is located on this level. The second level features the living area, open kitchen with huge dining island with seating for 8, a 65" TV, a full bath with shower, and an oceanfront king bedroom. All three oceanfront bedrooms have ocean views and sliders to the decks. The king and queen beds feature premium mattresses by Serta iComfort. The bunk beds feature memory foam mattresses.

We have been hosting happy vacationers since 2012 in Tennessee and Florida, 2023 was our first year hosting on Topsail Island. We are in a fantastic location, a bit north of Surf City, but south of the N. Topsail bridge leading to Sneads Ferry. Our beach is not public, so it's rarely crowded. We enjoy ample sand at both low and high tides. We have a shower on the walkover to rinse off, and a fully enclosed outdoor shower on the ground level. If you're familiar with the area, for reference, we are just a few minutes' walk from Andrew's Produce!

This home is dog friendly (with prior approval), for one dog under 50 pounds. Due to insurance restrictions, we can accept adult dogs only (over one year), and your dog must be housebroken and crate trained, and we require crating when your dog is left alone. We have a large crate for your convenience. We also offer an enclosed fenced area at the back of the home with dog turf. Feel free to message us for full details about our dog policy.

We are committed to providing our guests with all the comforts of home, and we feel confident that you'll be blown away by all of the extras and special touches we provide. We have been hosting since 2012, and have rentals in the Smoky Mountains, and in SW Florida in a quaint small town called Manasota Key (Englewood, FL). We also just completed the renovation of a small sound side home just a few doors up from Steps To The Sea. It's called Steps To The Sound, is 2 BR/2BA, sleeps a max. of four, and has a brand new private dock over the sound. It's just across the street from the beach access.

Guests acknowledge there is a RING floodlight camera on the entry/driveway area for security purposes only. **THE CONTENT ABOVE IS PROVIDED BY THE OWNER/MANAGER. ANYTHING BELOW THIS MESSAGE IS AUTOGENERATED BY VRBO AND MAY NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT AMENITIES AVAILABLE AT THIS PROPERTY.**

Great stay!
House was beautiful, plenty of room, and 3 bathrooms was a plus!! Everything you need and more as far as towels, toiletries etc. Cleaning staff needs to pay a little more attention to under beds and kitchen table. Being pet friendly, hair flew out as soon as we turned on the fans. We did not bring a pet. Would absolutely stay again!

Best ever!
This beautiful beach front home exceeded our expectations in every way. Pet-friendly homes often look worn or have cheap furnishing, but Steps By the Sea was exceptional. It was super clean, beautifully decorated and obvious that no expense was spared in the recent remodel. We loved the furniture, full size modern appliances, kitchen cabinets, dishes, cooking utensils, countertops, bathroom fixtures, vanities, tile work, flooring, etc.. Attention to detail in furnishings was amazing...motion-detector nightlights, numerous electrical outlets, plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, sun canopy, beach toys, dog pen, deck chairs and tables, etc.. They thought of everything! Wish we could have stayed longer!

A great stay all around
This place was just as described and then some. The house was lovely, and all of the amenities were thoughtfully provided. Great linens, lots of towels, plenty of seating, a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of porch perches for enjoying the day off of the sand while still being close enough to hear the sound of the surf. The host was very responsive to all questions, and we were so glad that we stayed here. Would recommend to others without hesitation!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Michelle! I have been hosting happy travelers since 2012. I make guest satisfaction a priority, and feel confident you'll be pleased with your stay. Our properties are meticulously designed and well maintained. We try to think of everything that will make your stay pleasant, comfortable and memorable. My co-host is Julia. She will cover for me when I'm traveling for business. She has been assissting travelers in the vacation rental industry for years, and in my absence, she will make certain you are supported, should a need arise.

Why they chose this property

We feel Steps To The Sea is the perfect Topsail Island location. It's close to the action to make an easy trip to attractions and restaurants, but far enough away that the beaches are not crowded, and you can truly enjoy some down time on the beach.

What makes this property unique

Who wants to drive to vacation only to have to make beds with sheets that are shrink wrapped in plastic? We don't require you rent linens. We provide all sheets, towels, and even turkish towels for the beach. We provide all the comforts of home, so you can settle in upon arrival, and focus on relaxation.
