About this property

Cozy couples retreat, dog friendly, 1 block to ocean or sound

Quiet street 1 mile from north end of North Topsail, across street from the St. Regis. 1 block or less to public beach access and public pier/dock. Queen bed, spectrum internet and 15-channel cable package, wall-mounted TV that can rotate to watch from bed or sofa. Kitchen has the essentials including coffee maker, toaster and stock pot for your shrimp boil. Outdoor space equal to three rooms -- front and back deck, choose sunshine or shade. Under the house is completely screened in with ceiling fan, new couches for a nap, minifridge and shower with hot and cold water.

In short, the place is small but has everything you need for a cozy couples getaway.

Dog friendly, with 4x8 kennel in the screened in breezeway and 2 crates available for inside. (Pet fee $20/night. Please check box under number of guests when booking.)

St. Regis has top floor restaurant/bar and the open-air Tiki Bar is a short walk and features local characters who will welcome and entertain you!

Check out our other North Topsail property VRBO# 4229885. It's 3-BR, 2 bath, very reasonably priced in the offseason. Great views. No pets though.

Short stay at Topsail

Property was very clean. Luke was very respnsive and cooperative. It had pretty much all the supplies, even the ones that you wish that you brought but didn't. A lot of though was put into making it a good stay. The weather did cooperate, a bit chilly. Beach and ocean are always beautiful

Quick holiday trip

The property was as advertised and host very easy to deal with. There was food in the refrigerator and a toothbrush in the bathroom. Other than that the unit was in a good area, clean, and easy to access.

Wonderful place, with great host.

Our second stay here was just as cozy and peaceful as the first. (reviewed July 1st) What I can add to that review is to emphasize how communicative the host is. We had a last minute change in plans. The host responded quickly to our request. They were very gracious in working with us . We would definitely book again.

Lovely location for you & your pets!

Luke was excellent at communicating with us about our stay. We even got the privilege of meeting him upon check in. Location is about a 10-15 minute drive to the major stores/restaurants but there are a few local spots sprinkled along the path that were great. The drive was beautiful and worth it. Everything was so thought out, not only for us but for our dogs as well. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk and chairs and beach items were included so it was super easy for us. We had neighbors with pets on one side of the home during our stay but we were pleasantly surprised how sound proof our space seemed, we didn’t hear a peep out of them. LOVED the space under the home, we spent a ton of time there and used the outdoor shower with ease. Would seek this space out if we return to the area in the future!

This little gem was amazing for a small family beach trip. With the intercoastal on one side and the beach on the other it was perfect for water lovers. The screened in downstairs was awesome for relaxing before bed. Love the hospitality and communication with the owner. Will definitely come again.

About the host

Hosted by Luke Glusco

Host profile image
Jodi and Luke live in Raleigh and finally realized their dream of having a beach property in March 2023. We're hooked, and constantly looking for ways to upgrade. We hope you'll find the place awesome now and even better if you return in the future!

Why they chose this property

We love that our street is a bit out of the way and fairly quiet, yet the beach and sound are a very short walk away.

What makes this property unique

The dog kennel, outdoor shower and decks are among the things we really like.
