About this property

Sizzling Deals! All avail June wks discounted! 2 min walk 2 beach! Grt Reviews!

After years of family trips to Topsail Island and creating wonderful memories, we now have our very own beach house – “AT LAST”!!! It is located on the south end of beautiful Topsail Island and is a two-minute walk to the beach. Appropriately named, “At Last” is truly the perfect beach get away with three roomy bedrooms, two baths, open floor plan, enclosed outside shower and even an outside sink to clean your catch of the day or all those special shells. It is so unique – definitely a beach house like no other. Although siding now covers the logs on the exterior, the house was originally built as a log cabin. Inside, you can still see the hand crafted tongue and grove walls in the living area and master bedroom. In the downstairs bedrooms, the tongue and grove, beamed ceilings give each room such a cozy, warm feeling.

The open living area, with grand vaulted ceiling, includes a kitchen that’s well-stocked with small appliances, utensils, pots, pans, plenty of dinnerware and silverware. The dining area has a table for six and a bar that seats three additional folks. In the unlikely event of rain at the beach, you can enjoy the living room 51” flat-panel HDTV, watch a movie on the DVD/Blu-ray player, read a book, play a game or put together a puzzle.

There's a long, covered front porch with rocking chairs and glider and a fabulous large screened back porch that's surrounded by your own maritime forest of Live Oaks. The private balcony off the large upstairs master bedroom (with king-size bed) is a wonderful place to enjoy the ocean view while having your morning coffee. The master bath, with new tile shower and glass doors, was recently renovated with new flooring, ceiling, sink, fixtures and nautical décor. On the main level, “At Last” has two additional roomy bedrooms with nice flat panel HDTVs, DVD players and another full bath. In the downstairs utility room, you'll find a full-size washer, dryer and extra refrigerator as well as storage for the provided beach chairs, boogie boards, sand buckets, and beach toys. Our home comfortably accommodates a maximum of eight guests with plenty of parking space. However, because of the unique features of At Last, we must adhere to a very strict no pets policy and no smoking.

Topsail Island is a beautiful, safe, unspoiled, barrier island with 26 miles of wonderful sandy beaches. “At Last” is located, on the south end of the island,in the family-oriented Topsail Beach community on a friendly, quiet street that’s great for biking, jogging, or strolling down by the water. From our house, it’s just a few steps up to the beach where you can relax, soak up the sun, and watch the waves lap onto the wide, sandy shore. Walking down the street, in the other direction, it dead ends into the picturesque waterway where sunsets are magnificent!

We looked a long time to find just the right beach place and know this is it!! Come on down, settle into our cozy home, stroll on the beach, cast a line, enjoy the area and we’re sure you’ll agree that you, too, have found your favorite beach vacation spot – At Last!!!

Great location! Just an easy 2-minute walk to the beach. Beach chairs and toys were nice to have on hand. Very roomy for our party of 5 but home can sleep 8 or 9. Be sure to take sheets and towels as this property does not provide any. There were blankets and pillows available. There was an issue with the stovetop (that we believe we created) and the property owner/manager was nice and managed the situation extremely well. It was a great week!

The house was super clean. I had no concerns about our 10 mo. old baby crawling around. The kitchen well equipped with dishes, silverware and essentials needed to cook there and storage containers for left overs. There were LOTS of sand toys for the little ones and quality beach chairs and a wagon to use to carry stuff to the beach. Outdoor heated shower was a huge plus. Most of us choose to shower out there. Washer/Dryer on site was great! The host was communicative and timely with information needed. Everyone in the family shared this was one of the best beach house experiences we have had! We loved it and would select this home again if we were to travel to Topsail area again.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Bentley

Host profile image
I grew up going to my grandmother's cottage on Topsail Island and loved every minute spent there. That beachfront cottage, however, was taken in Hurricane Fran (1996) and could not be rebuilt. For a very long time, I dreamed of having a house on Topsail Island. I met my significant other, Greg, a few years ago and found that he loved the beach as well. After talking for years, we began planning for a beach house and, of course, it had to be on Topsail!

Why they chose this property

We started looking for a beach place but soon realized it would not be an easy, nor quick, task. For so long, we looked at so many places but it had to be the right location, the right house, and the right "feel". In June, 2013, after two years of searching, we finally found it - "At Last" - thus the name!! It was perfect - right location, right size, unique, and that oh so special "feel"!! We immediately fell in love and love it more every time we go!

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of a "log cabin" at the beach first got our attention and the beautiful setting among the Live Oaks was icing on the cake! We felt, when we first walked in, that we were "home". And now for the "rest of the story": A year after buying a beach house together and after eight years of being together as a couple, Susan and Greg were married - on the beach, at Topsail. Can you guess what song was playing as the bride walked down the beach? Yes, it was "At Last" of course!!!
