About this property

Bright Beach Escape • Ocean Views • Easy Beach Access

Welcome to Wave Hog — your bright, ocean-view beach house in the heart of Topsail Beach.

This newly built second-row home offers the rare combination of beautiful Atlantic views and convenient beach access just across the street — giving you the coastal experience you want with the comfort and space your family needs. Properties in this location with open ocean views are limited and tend to fill early for spring and summer dates.

Flexible check-in and check-out days and shorter minimum stays help you avoid peak traffic and make the most of your time on the island.

Inside, you’ll find spacious, sun-filled rooms designed in a relaxed coastal style that feels clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The layout allows everyone to gather together while still having room to unwind after a full day on the beach.

Two large decks provide sweeping ocean views and extra outdoor living space — perfect for morning coffee at sunrise, afternoon reading in the shade, or dinner together with the sound of the waves in the background.

The fully stocked kitchen makes preparing meals simple and convenient, whether you're cooking fresh local seafood or quick breakfasts before heading out. Beds are made with fresh linens before your arrival, and we provide 10 bath towel sets, 8 beach towels, and starter essentials so you can settle in comfortably.

Beach access is directly across the street, making it easy for families with children or anyone who appreciates a simple walk to the sand. Beach chairs, an umbrella, and toys are provided for your use.

Topsail Beach is known for its peaceful shoreline, small-town charm, and family-friendly atmosphere. Enjoy local shops, waterfront dining, and the island sidewalk that connects toward Surf City or along the quieter southern end of the island. A visit to Scoops Microcreamery is always a favorite tradition for guests.

Wave Hog is thoughtfully maintained and carefully prepared for each stay, creating a comfortable setting for your beach vacation. Many families choose to return year after year, and prime weeks are often reserved well in advance — we encourage securing your preferred dates while they are available.

Wonderful Family Beach Week

Aside from a bit of confusion getting the security code, this was by far the nicest, cleanest, best appointed, and best equipped vacation home we have every enjoyed. We will absolutely recommend this house, and look forward to returning.

Can't say enough good things about our stay. Clean, comfortable, convenient to all the things that make a beach vacation the best. Some owners seem to provide the bare minimum for a property...Staci seems to take pride in adding the little things that make a guest feel welcome!

Much needed beach get away

We had never been to topsail, although we take a beach trip almost every year. We might have found our new favorite spot. This house has the best unobstructed second row views we’ve seen. We really enjoyed all of the activities around the island and the house had a large backyard complete with all of the comforts of home. We were so sad to leave. Staci is wonderful, and we are beyond grateful for the experience this home gave us. ❤️ thank you for being the best hosts ever!

About the host

Hosted by Staci Outlaw

Host profile image
We are an active family residing in the Raleigh area of NC. We love traveling so we have experience being guests in locations worldwide. We take things we love about these places and implement them into our Blowing Rock and Topsail Beach properties so that we wow our guests. We chose Blowing Rock and Topsail because they are two of the most beautiful locations in our wonderful state, with endless opportunities to experience adventure in nature!

Why they chose this property

We chose Topsail Beach because we fell in love with the laid back beach vibe and people as well as the GIGANTIC beach with beautiful turquoise water! The Topsail Beach town center is 2.6 miles away and is adorable! We enjoy walking or biking there to enjoy a game of pickleball at the park, lunch and ice cream! We think this is the best beach in the state and it's right across the street from our little happy place!

What makes this property unique

Location is key! We are steps away from a convenient beach access with only a few parking spots. That means the beach is only accessed by people staying close by and about 8 cars that can park at the access. The house is open and spacious and with light, airy colors and beautifully decorated. This is our vacation home where we spend a lot of time, so we have curated it to be beautiful and comfortable!
