About this property

Perfect for 2 families. 2 MBR's. Elevator, 4 min walk 2 beach, pool, and clean!

Three By the Sea is beautifully decorated with just the right touches to make you feel right at home. Our home comfortably sleeps 10 with four bedrooms and three and a half baths. Bathrooms located on each floor. Plenty of room for two families as we have two master bedrooms with their own separate bathrooms.

We are located in a great community for kids to ride bikes, scooters, or explore the neighborhood pier. Our home is located next to the community pool, convenient for parents with kids. Nothing better after a long day at the beach than a swim in the pool! The community pool is open from approximately Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Our home has gorgeous views of the ocean, with the sunrise on one side of the house in the morning and the sunset from the other in the evening, from one of 6 decks.

We are just a 4 minute walk to the beach.

Don't worry about carrying in those heavy suitcases and groceries because our home has an elevator.

NO PETS and NO SMOKING: Due to a family allergy, we do not allow smoking or pets of any kind.

SHEETS & TOWELS: We ask our guests to provide their own sheets and towels. We can recommend a fantastic local rental company if guests do not want to provide their own.

SMALL CHILDREN: Our home has a pack-and-play and a high chair available.

7-Night Minimum: We require a 7-night minimum during peak season, which is from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and rent from Saturday to Saturday.

POOL: Our community pool opens Memorial Day (End of May) and closes around Labor Day (September).

We really enjoyed our stay! The elevator is a lifesaver for luggage and groceries. The dock provided great fishing, good conversation with neighbors, and beautiful sunsets. Location of the house was perfect, the community was quiet and relaxing, and an easy walk to the beach.

Absolutely amazing

This place was in the perfect location, near town, the pier and beach. It was beautiful with great views, and had plenty of space for the kids who really enjoyed the pool (which was never crowded) and riding the elevator. It was very turn key and made our vacation amazing. The host was very responsive even though we had no issues whatsoever. Great rental, thanks to the hosts!

Incredible place to stay with two families!

Chad was absolutely amazing to work with! He was so attentive and caring! The house was absolutely beautiful and accommodated 4 adults and 4 kids very easily. The kitchen is fully equipped with any sort of dishes you will need, which made cooking easy! Also the fridge is a great size and fit all of the food we needed from our giant grocery haul! The beach is super easy to get to, I took my two little ones in a stroller and was still able to get there in like 2-3 minutes. The pier was so beautiful! Definitely recommend going out there for a sunset or a walk! Great home and great location! Would definitely stay again! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

3rd Annual Family Vacation At Three by the Sea

This was our 3rd vacation in a row in this home and I hope many more. Great house, great owners and great time. Close walk to the beach and the dock in the sound is a big favorite. Bring or rent kayaks and paddle boards if you like and bring fishing and crabbing equipment. The owners keep in touch and make sure everything is good. Also has elevator for us old folks! Community pool in the center of the complex.

Perfect for two couples with small kids

Couldn’t have been happier with the stay. We traveled with another couple and their baby, brining our 4 year old and our own baby. Great layout and location to give everyone space and ideal hang out space. Easy to pool and views of the Intercoastal Waterway. Super short walk to beach. Seriously could. Ot have asked for a better time.

Perfect Spot!

We had our full family here and it had everything we needed; boogie boards, beach chairs, washer and dryer, plenty of kitchen supplies and even a high chair and pack and play which was so helpful. The space was perfect; balconies everywhere, quite space for people when our kids got too loud, elevator was awesome for unloading. The owner was so helpful and checked in with us to make sure we had what we needed. The walk to the beach was very easy, even with a load of stuff! Would come back here again.

Great stay at Coastal Cay

Third year in a row on Coastal Cay and the second year at 112. The owners are great people and take good care of the property. The elevator really helps with heavy bags and store runs. The younger folks appreciate the pool and spending time on the pier fishing and taking out their kayak and paddle boards. I hope we’ll be there again next year. Just have to get everyone’s schedule straight.

We didn’t have the best weather with the remnants of hurricane Sally moving through the coast but the house made the stay very enjoyable! Beds were comfortable and living area was great for the kids to play. House comes fully stocked with most things which came in handy when we realized we forgot something. Walk to the beach was short and sweet and the house comes with beach chairs! Communication with Chad was great as he checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed. We will be back!

Perfect home for our group

We chose this house because it perfectly fit our needs for our family trip to visit my son stationed at Camp Lejeune. The 4 bedroom types worked perfect for my husband and I, my elderly parents and grown daughters (19 & 21) along with a couple of their friends. The elevator was perfect for my parents to get in and out of the house, as well as to move between the house from their bedroom down to the main living area. The house was exactly as described, absolutely beautiful, and equipped with everything we needed when we did cook meals at the house. My son invited a few of his Marine buddies to hang out with us for a beach day and dinner our last day here, and there was plenty of room at the large kitchen table and breakfast bar for us all to be together to eat and play cards and games. It was just a short walk to the beach as stated, really the perfect house and location for all our needs!

Best Family Vacation In A Long Time

We stayed in the same complex last year. Chad and Kimberly’s house was much nicer. We were concerned about the view from this property. The other house had a better view of the pool and area but this property more than made up for it, plus the view was fine. We never rented through Vrbo before so I was apprehensive. It worked out great. We never had the privilege of communicating with Kimberly but Chad was an absolute pleasure to work with. You can tell he takes pride in his home and keeps you informed and checks in to make sure everything is good. We love being on the sound and being able to fish, kayak and paddle board. The ocean is a short walk and the pool is really nice. The elevator is great for moving in and out plus taking in groceries. We hope to stay there again and just need to coordinate our schedules.

About the host

Hosted by Chad

Host profile image
After renting beach homes up and down the east coast, we decided Topsail Island was our favorite. We provide a clean and affordable house in a great community.

Why they chose this property

Uniquely positioned between the ocean and sound, you can view the sunrise in the morning on one side of the house and the sunset on the other. The community has a private pier for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just great views of the sunset. Great property for families with children to ride bikes, scooters, or take a short walk to the beach.

What makes this property unique

The home is steps away from the community pool and has an elevator. The community pool is open seasonally from approximately Memorial Day through Labor Day.
