About this property

The Northern Exposure - Beautiful Beachfront Condo Right on the Ocean.

Welcome to the Northern Exposure. Beautiful top floor beachfront condo with views of the North end of Topsail Island from the bedroom, kitchen and balcony (very few units have views from every room). Wake to a spectacular ocean sunrise from your bedroom window and then sip your coffee on your private balcony watching the dolphins swim by as the fishing boats head out to sea

Provided are: Free parking and Free WiFi! New Roku large flat screen TV, DVD Player, queen size sleeper sofa in living room. Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher in the well-appointed kitchen. Queen size bed and new Roku TV in bedroom. Set of bunk beds in hallway. Two bar height Adirondack chairs and table on balcony. Everything you need to make this your perfect getaway vacation spot.

Weekly (7 night) rentals only during beach season (Apr-Sept). Check in and out is only available on Saturday during this time. Off season rentals require a minimum 3 night stay but have flexible check in/out days. PLEASE NOTE that all bookings will now INCLUDE complete sets of linens and bath towels for your stay (this was the most requested amenity and we are happy to now be able to provide it). We also now have keyless entry (no more keeping track of keys).

Please check out the photos: This isn't simply near the beach or have a view of the beach, you are literally on the beach. The North end of the island isn't crowded even at peak season and provides you plenty of space to enjoy a quiet and relaxing stay.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR TRAVELERS:

Sandbags are in front of all Buildings in North Topsail and the beach directly in front of the building may not be accessible during high tide. There is always beach access and availability that is easy to get to by using the public beach access to the left of building 1 (our building) which is just a short walk away (please see photo).

Please take note that this is a 3rd floor condo with no elevator. While the 3rd floor provides breathtaking views, guests who may have difficulty ascending stairs with luggage, groceries, etc. should take this into consideration.

If you have any questions or concerns, PLEASE inquire. We want to make certain that you have a wonderful stay at the Northern Exposure.

Relaxing Week

My husband and I had a great week of relaxing on the beach. This condo was plenty of room for the two of us. The host was in contact with me from the time I booked it, giving me a lot of helpful information. The keyless entry was great, not having to remember a key every time we went out. The place was clean and provided everything we needed. Outstanding views from the balcony, we were up two different days to see the sun rise.

Awesome Views and location

Location and the views are amazing. Communication with the host is spontaneous and was very helpful. We stayed during Hurricane Idalia and the host kept us updated with weather as well as potential flooding power outages. It is a 3rd floor condo so you have great views but also there is no elevator. The condo is tastefully decorated and clean. Condo is directly on the beach and close.

Great views and nice host!

The views from the balcony are absolutely stunning as you get to watch the sunrise every morning right from the balcony or the full-length kitchen window. Lisa is very responsive to messages and genuinely believes in guests having a comfortable and great experience at her place. We made wonderful memories as a family during our visit. Will definitely stay again if we get the chance!

Nice Condo on the Beach!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo directly on the beach. The view was amazing! The weather was great! We beached it everyday and we were very grateful for the handheld shower at the steps that made it very easy to clean us and all of our things off! We ventured out to the surrounding areas and enjoyed lots of great restaurants and activities like the Ghost Crab Hunt through Ecological Marine Adventures in Surf City. The kids learned how to catch and learned different things about ghost crabs. The kids loved it so much we went out the next two nights as a family hunting for ghost crabs at the condo. The condo owners were very helpful and attentive to any questions and concerns we had and had great communication with us!

Location on the beach is not exaggerated and couldn’t have been any more perfect! The condo was clean and cozy. The owner was very quick to respond to our questions and accommodated our request to stay another day and for early check in. Thank you for advertising the truth of your property and location setting.

Spectacular view

The beach/ocean views from this condo is amazing. We didn’t even have to leave the condo to get a view of the sunrise. We enjoyed our stay. The condo is nicely decorated and gives you the beachy feel. Everything was clean and tidy. A plus for this condo is it does have a dishwasher. We didn’t use it but if you plan on preparing meals, it is a nice amenity. We have stayed in two other condos at Topsail Reef and they did not have a dishwasher.

Awesome week at the beach!

Our favorite part of our stay was definitely the balcony that provided amazing views and sounds from the surf! The shower was very refreshing. We had a slight issue that was quickly resolved after the owner was notified. It is a very family friendly and quiet area. We never had an issue with noise. The only negative was that the bathroom had a bad odor to it. No matter what we did we could not get rid of it. We kept the door partially closed the whole time.

Balcony, Balcony, Balcony!

This property's shining feature is the balcony! It is so close to the water that you feel like you are on a cruise ship deck. We definitely spent more time outside-enjoying the breeze, dog and people watching, We even saw dolphins that I am pretty sure we would have missed had we not been outside enjoying the view already.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Marie Grant

My husband and I have been vacationing at Topsail Reef since 2014 and fell in love with the area. We were so happy to finally purchase a condo at Topsail Reef in January of 2021. This is not just an investment property for us but a home away from home. Thus, you can count on it to be well cared for, properly maintained, and continually improved.

Why they chose this property

Wonderful beach front community with everything you could ask for. Enjoy a quiet beach day dolphin watching, swimming, or walking the beach collecting ocean treasures while at the same time having everything you need (fine dining, shopping, etc.) close by.

What makes this property unique

Overlooks North end of Topsail Island with a view from every room. Very few units have this feature. You wake to an unobstructed view of a spectacular ocean sunrise from your bedroom window.
