About this property

Private Retreat for two with stunning Ocean Front Views

A third floor ocean front beach condo at Topsail Reef in the point, offering an unobstructed spectacular view of the ocean!
A rare experience on a barrier island, on a ribbon of sand. At low tide you have a beautiful secluded beach to enjoy the water and sand, or look for sharks teeth and shells! At high tide, sit on the balcony, watch for dolphins, or relax and read a book while listening to the the waves and sea gulls!
The tastefully decorated condo has everything you need to make your vacation comfortable and enjoyable!

Our Oceanfront condo is on the third floor, so there are a total of 38 steps to consider. Beach access is on the first floor.

The Beach condo will be prepared for your getaway to begin as soon as you walk in! The bed will be made, towels laid out, the kitchen pantry will be stocked, we have a Keurig with K-cups, everything is there if you want to cook. We have beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards on the balcony for you to use as well.

Check in and check outs are easy! We will give you a code to unlock the lockbox with the keys to the condo. Parking pass will be in the condo for you to display on your rear view mirror. At the end of your stay just return the keys and parking pass, put the wet towels in the bathtub and we will take care of the rest!
Please reach out if you have any questions, or want to tweak a date, check in/out, whatever! I am easy to get along with!

Paradise

What a lovely, quiet and peaceful vacation. If there is a way to stay any closer to the ocean, I would like to see it. We had an amazing time this past week, and the north end of Topsail Island is hands down one of my favorites now! Thank you again, for a wonderful vacation!

Beautiful ocean views

It was perfect for two people. We enjoyed it and the ocean was right there. Sad that the beach front is being washed away. You can walk a little ways and have more sand though. I loved it there.

On the Beach

This is a nice, well taken care of condo right on the beachfront. The ocean comes right up to the building during high tide 🌊 which is one of my favorite things about this property. You can see and hear the waves crash against the sandbags. Sharon is an excellent host.

Always a great time at the Private Retreat . . .

This is our third time at this gem on North Topsail Beach and we mean right on the beach. Sharon and her family have created an amazing get-away at this one bedroom / one bath condo. It is always very clean and anything you want is supplied by this super host. Don't miss the opportunity to really relax and play on North Topsail Island! You will love it!

Quaint Beach Rental

Firstly, the host was very accommodating! Left snacks, small breakfast, and essential toiletries for us. The rental was fully equipped and perfect for just two people. The beach in front of the condo is not accessible at high tide but that’s ok, because you can access the beach with a small walk OR you can sit on the balcony and watch the waves hit right under.

Relaxation

The property description and pictures were very accurate. Host was amazing with communication and went above and beyond in insuring we were comfortable through so many extra amenities. Seriously, we only had to bring our clothes and dinner. The place was very quiet and permanent residents were all friendly. Like others said, you only get about 6 hours of beach time in front of the place but can easily walk to another location. Very relaxing and peaceful.

The apartment was a little muggy but that can’t really be helped in a beach town. I wish the building had elevators. Overall, a nice place to stay.

First time at North Topsail

First off, the property owner is a complete angel and made my family's trip the best! This location is perfect for a small family or a couples trip. During high tide the immediate beach isn't accessible but during low tide it's exceptionable. Thank you Sharon for being you and making this is an amazing trip:)

From start to finish the whole experience was a joy. The owner communicated every detail, the room was exactly as described and was spotlessly clean. I would definitely stay there again if we’re looking for a one bedroom. Extra bonus points for the great hospitality.❤️
