About this property

"A Castle in the Sand" - Oceanfront Newly Renovated - Pool, Elevator - Sleeps 15

"A Castle in the Sand" sits upon three direct oceanfront lots providing you a luxurious oasis. The meticulously manicured landscape includes a heated pool (heating available with fee - pool open April-October only), covered gazebo, arbor and trellis covered pathway surrounded by palm trees, tropical foliage and a privacy fence.

As this home was chosen as a filming location (Clay and Quinn’s Beach House) of the popular TV show “One Tree Hill” during the 2009 through 2011 season series, although it has since been remodeled to a modern coastal aesthetic, it will certainly be an exciting destination for those of you that followed and enjoyed this popular TV show.

While we understand this may impact your beach experience, refunds or compensation will not be provided for disruptions related to beach nourishment. For the latest updates, we recommend checking the town websites for Topsail Beach, Surf City, or North Topsail Beach.

Great house with lots of outdoor space

The house was beautiful and the outside space was awesome. We were very disappointed that they did not provide a single roll of toilet paper as we arrived at 11pm and the stores were closed. It was a pricey house to not have a small supply for their guests. Also the lock on the door of the kids room to the outside was broken which is concerning when you have 2 kids sleeping in there. Overall great house but would have been 5 stars if those little things were fixed.

Those scammers steal from our credit card 800+$, and no apology no nothing. House has good picture but not for 500$ a night, plus picture photoshop. Everything was dirty when we arrive, some black hair. Elevator uncomfortable like a bed. WI-FI doesn't work. We want to extent those property more BUT OWNERS SAID BECAUSE WE HAVE SERVICE DOGS, They don't wanna us keeping longer. This is discrimination of Federal Law. I will contact them and share issues with service dogs. And we must leave at 10:00, not even 10:10. IMMEDIATLY AT 10. Even hotels has some check out time 11-12 but not 10 am. This property is not luxurious to have such arrogant teams. And we bought a mailbox and installed it for ourselves because the postman couldn’t find this address. So,hey answered, send it to our office, and go to the office. The manager came up with some nonsense that you can’t put boxes. This is some kind of f....... up and not a rental company. We left that mailbox for them, let the poor owners take it back, there’s a check below, if they are so greedy and arrogant. Ugh
