About this property

Topsail Beach paradise at Serenity Point - steps from ocean, pool and sound

Reviews say this place has everything! It’s the perfect home to unwind and connect with loved ones at the coast.

This cozy townhome sleeps up to 6 and is at the south end of Topsail Island at Serenity Point. There’s nothing beyond the deck but dunes, wildlife and ocean! You’re steps from the private beach access to the ocean, community pool, and calm waters of the sound.

This completely renovated home has 2 bedrooms plus a sleeping loft that kids and teens love (3 beds total). There are 2.5 baths, plus a large outdoor shower.

This area is loved for its wide quiet beaches, magical sunsets, starry nights, thriving nature, great shore fishing, and the gorgeous 2 mile walk around the “Point” (end of the island).

Most essentials, beach chairs and gear are supplied so it’s easy to be here! It’s a Saturday to Saturday rental during the summer. I’m the owner and do all the property management and communication to ensure it’s the best vacation.

Shared spaces:

The living room has a large comfortable couch, TV, a desk and plenty of your favorite games.

The back deck looks out to dunes and nature - relax here to the distant sound of waves with your morning coffee and share evening meals at the spacious outdoor table.

At the front of the house, a covered porch with rocking chairs gives you a break in the shade.

Sleeping spaces:

Upstairs, the master bedroom has a queen bed, the hallway bedroom has a queen bed, and the open loft has a full bed. All beds are new and very comfortable with memory foam. The loft is really perfect for children who can climb a short ladder. (Not recommended for very young children or grandparents). We provide linens for the three beds, which are professionally laundered and put onto the beds. We have a pack and play crib (no sheets provided).

Bathrooms:

There are 2.5 newly renovated bathrooms plus a large outdoor shower. We provide 6 sets of bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. You'll need to bring your own beach towels.

Work spaces:

Two desks and fast 5G/2G wifi with boosters throughout the home. A third folding desk and chair are in the closet of the hallway bedroom.

Kitchen:

Enjoy our all new appliances in the fully stocked kitchen with most essentials provided (including basic spices, starter coffee supplies, teas, large crab boil pot, indoor electric grill, griddle, large roasting pan, blender, toaster, slow cooker, coffeepot, Keurig and French press, coffee grinder). We’ve installed a water purifier and provide reusable water bottles so there’s no need to buy jugs of filtered water.

Beach gear:

We provide beach chairs, a small cooler with ice packs, beach bags, beach wagon, boogie boards, kid beach toys, large beach blanket, bocce ball, and two sun shade/umbrellas. There's a hammock for naps!

Fun:

Plenty fun is to be had a few miles away at Topsail Beach center, from a retro arcade, putt putt and old school skating rink to a traditional NC seafood restaurant (Breezeway), two delis (Cora’s Deli and Larry’s Delique), three ice cream shops, a coffee shop/wine bar and an upscale restaurant with outdoor bar (Beach Shop and Grill). You can rent bikes and ocean rec equipment in town.

Streaming:

We have three new smart TVs in living room and each bedroom with streaming apps to log into your personal accounts. We do not have cable or local TV channels. (But you can smartcast to the TV from any app playing in your smartphone or laptop).

Other:

This townhome is a part of a two unit duplex, and this unit is side B. Strictly no pets or Emotional Support Animals are allowed to stay in or visit this property to keep it allergy free for guests and owners. No parties, and no smoking in or on property. For security purposes only, there are smart doorbells at the front and back doors, which turn on only when activated. Self checkin and keyless entry via our smart lock makes it easy and safe to access the home.

The neighborhood has its own private beach access with stairs. For a handicap-accessible ramp to the ocean, go to public access number 18 just outside our neighborhood. Access to the calm waters of the sound is equally close to the house (it has handicap-accessible entrance and is great for younger kids).

The community pool is just across from our house and is open Friday of Memorial Day through late September (tropical storm dependent).

Everything expected and more

We have been vacationing in South Topsail for a couple decades but never stayed at the end of the island near the inlet. I have always wanted to do that and glad we did. The home was very welcoming. The host was very responsive to our needs. Highly recommend. I am already looking forward to coming back.

Topsail Beach Stay

Shannon is an amazing host. Communications were thorough, with Shannon checking in midway during our stay to make sure everything was going well. The house was extremely well equipped. Absolutely loved the outdoor shower, bringing back fond childhood memories! I would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay!

We had a wonderful time in Topsail this week. This is the second time we’ve stayed at this house and it is perfect for our family. We had everything we needed in the house. We only had to buy our own food at the local grocery store; everything else was provided. We love the location of this house. The beach and the sound are both close and the pool is across the street. They were not crowded or busy at all. We hope to return in the future.

Perfect beach vacay!

We enjoyed the stay just as much as we did last year at this same property! The property is very clean and well taken care of. Shannon thinks of everything & is an amazing host! After many years of visiting Topsail this is our favorite location to walk to the beach then over to the sound and the pool is right across the street. Shannon is very responsive to all questions & gives lots of great tips while staying. Hope to return next year!

Relaxing beach trip

The property was in an excellent location. The views were beautiful. Everyday it was a short walk to the beach for fun in the sun and waves. The neighborhood was quiet, clean and peaceful. It was great having access to the pool right across the street. The house itself was clean and came stocked with all of the essentials. We only wish it had an outdoor grill. The host was fantastic with communication. Honestly, we would love to stay at this property again

Beautiful Location

The location, Serenity Point, is so beautiful! The house was very clean and comfortable. We had a family of 5 with 3 teenagers stay there. The view from the back deck was lovely and a great place to enjoy dinner in the evenings. We loved watching the sunset each night after a short walk to the bay. The pool was never crowded. We hope to stay here again in the future. Communications with the owner were great and check-in was extremely easy.

Wonderful Beach House

This beach house has absolutely everything you will need to enjoy your vacation; from beach chairs and boogie boards to a kitchen with everything as well as games, fans and flashlights! The beds are comfortable, the AC works well. The home is extremely clean and well decorated. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful with sharing local information, places to eat and favorite things to do. My teenage boys and I had the best time at this property and will stay again. The location is also perfect: an easy walk to the sound side or the beach side. Thank you!

Great place!

This is a very nice place to stay to enjoy the beach. The location is great, about halfway between the ocean and the sound, so it’s an easy walk to enjoy either. The neighborhood is great; we were even able to take advantage of the pool even though it was late in the season and a bit chilly. The house was very clean and provided everything you could need for a week. We would definitely stay there again.

This is our second year renting here and has been fantastic. Location is perfect with a great view, sparsely populated beach access and pool we had to ourselves fairly often.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Crownover

Host profile image
Originally from the mountains of western North Carolina, I have been in love with our beautiful coast since a young age, especially since I was only able to get to the beach once a year for a week. I remember my parents driving down to the ocean so I could say goodbye to it at the end of our vacation. Therefore, I know how important this vacation is to you and your family, whether it's once a year every summer like when I grew up, or more frequent. Our home is your home away from home, and we provide as many amenities and essentials as possible so it's easy to be here. I handle all of the communications and property management myself and pay great attention to making this your best vacation so you can simply relax and enjoy your family and friend time.

Why they chose this property

The Point at the south end of Topsail Island is a rare gem! 150 acres of undeveloped coast makes it one of the last large natural areas in our state's barrier islands. It is the most relaxing, peaceful spot on the coast, and our family is excited to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

Nature, quiet, wide beaches, spectacular sunsets, wildlife, family time. Need I say more?
