Photo gallery for Soundfront retreat, sunset decks, beach walk

Slide one chair into the corner of the lower deck and disappear for an hour — the marsh glows gold and nobody needs to know where you went.
A modern kitchen with a central island, white bar stools, and a dining table with chairs. There is a large window with blinds, a bookshelf filled with books, and a view of the sea.
A bedroom with a bed, a ceiling fan, a nightstand, a lamp, and a view of the ocean through large windows.
An aerial view of a coastal residential area with houses, a beach, and a body of water.
Your place sits marked dead center between two completely different vacations — surf breaking on one side, calm sound water on the other.

Guest Access:

You'll have the entire house to yourselves — both living areas, all three bedrooms, the kitchen, and the decks. Check-in is self-service with a smart lock, so there's no coordinating a key handoff around traffic or flight delays. The community pool, private pier, and gazebo are open to guests seasonally, Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend; the HOA sets hours outside that window.



The Neighborhood:

You're on the sound side of North Topsail Beach, part of Topsail Island's 26 miles of quiet, undeveloped shoreline — no boardwalk, no high-rises, just dunes and a slower pace. Beach access is a five-minute walk down 11th Ave.



• Community pool, private pier & gazebo — on-site, seasonal Memorial Day–Labor Day

• Jolly Roger Pier — fishing pier and inn, ~10 min

• Rodney Knowles Park — sound-side deck, picnic area, ~10 min

• Richard C. Peters Park — playground, nature trail, two fishing piers, ~10 min

• Surf City — restaurants, ice cream, shopping, ~15–20 min

• Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center — Surf City, ~20 min

• Sneads Ferry — fresh local seafood, boat launch, ~15–20 min

• Missiles and More Museum — Topsail Beach history, ~25–30 min

• Serenity Point — quiet, dolphin-watching island tip, ~30 min

• Jacksonville, NC — groceries and box stores, ~30 min

• Downtown Wilmington — Riverwalk, Battleship NC, Mayfaire shopping, ~45–50 min



Bring the car for grocery runs, but plan to park it most of the week — this stretch of the island is made for walking to the water.



Getting Around:

The neighborhood is compact and walkable, making it simple to explore on foot. Many attractions, like the beach and nearby amenities, are just a short walk away.



For those looking to explore further, renting a bike is a great option, as the area is bike-friendly with scenic routes. If you prefer driving, there are plenty of parking options available, and local roads are easy to navigate.



For dining and shopping, a quick drive will take you to nearby restaurants, cafes, and stores. Additionally, there are local services like boat rentals and fishing charters, allowing you to fully enjoy the coastal experience.



Other Things to Note:

Two vehicles are included — one in the driveway and one in the circle parking area using the provided pass, which must be displayed clearly. The HOA enforces parking rules strictly, and improperly parked vehicles may be towed at the guest's expense. Traveling with more than two cars? Public and paid parking are available nearby.



Check-in is after 4:00 PM, checkout before 10:00 AM. Ask ahead about early check-in — if the house is ready, it's $100 between 8–11 AM or $50 after 11 AM, confirmed the night before arrival.



This home sleeps a maximum of 8 registered guests, no exceptions. Please be considerate of the neighborhood: reports of excess noise, improper parking, or exceeding the guest limit can result in immediate removal without refund.



Starting November 1, confirmed bookings require a valid ID and signed rental agreement for verification. A Ring camera faces the driveway 24/7. Linens and bath towels are provided — bring your own beach towels. Questions? Message us any time.



Interaction with Guests:

You'll have the entire unit by yourselves! There will be no interaction with guests unless a request is made for additional services. But, we are always available via messages & phone.

This is a beautiful location for views of marsh and waterway! I sat on the balcony all day. The property didn’t work well for our family. We like to play games in the evening and watch TV together. The only place to sit together was the dining table. Also some of the information sent by host and VRBO was not up to date. The Wi-Fi had been changed. We couldn’t contact anyone. We did finally find the new Wi-Fi information in the guest notebook but that caused some angst. The information talked about a trash chute which was nonexistent. If your friends or family like to be in separate locations this will work great. If you want family activities, this isn’t what you want.
