Dog-Friendly Beach Retreat Steps to the Sand with Ocean Views, Private Pool, Hot Tub & Elevator!

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Welcome to Island Haven! 🏝
​​​​​​​
Beach days, pool days, and plenty of room to unwind come together at this spacious North Topsail Beach retreat! Located just steps from the sand with beautiful ocean views, a private pool, hot tub, multiple decks, and screened porch, this home makes it easy to spend your vacation soaking up the best of island living.

Start your morning outside with coffee and the salty ocean breeze before heading down for a day on the beach. When you're ready for a change of scenery, come back to the house for an afternoon by the private pool or settle into the hot tub for a relaxing soak. With plenty of deck space and a screened porch, there are lots of places to spread out, catch some sunshine, enjoy a meal outside, or simply sit back and listen to the sounds of the coast.

Inside, the home is bright, spacious, and designed with larger families and groups in mind. Cathedral ceilings and abundant natural light give the main living area an open and airy feel, while plenty of gathering space makes it easy to reconnect over meals, games, and laid-back evenings together. The spacious kitchen sits at the heart of the home, providing plenty of room for everyone to gather while meals and beach-day snacks come together.

An elevator makes moving between levels more convenient, while six bedrooms provide plenty of space to recharge when the day winds down. On cooler evenings, gather around the gas fireplace, or step back outside and enjoy the coastal air from one of the home's many outdoor spaces.

With the beach just steps away, ocean views, a private pool, hot tub, screened porch, and plenty of room for the whole crew, this North Topsail Beach getaway is ready for days filled with sunshine, swimming, and time together by the coast.

Please note: The neighboring property immediately to the left when facing the home is the North Topsail Beach Fire Station, which was recently rebuilt. Guests may occasionally see or hear normal activity associated with an operating fire station during their stay.

Home needs help

Sadly things promised were not working. No help with requested assistance. Could be a good home if thoroughly cleaned and repaired.

Cozy beach house

Fully stocked with everything you need! Comfortable beds! Extremly short walk to a beach access! Apparently there aren't allowed any golf carts unless they are tagged (license plate). We only brought ours because my mom just had surgery. My husband talked to the cops. Explained the situation. They were awesome! They sat where we had to cross the road to make sure we were safe. They were amazing! I called the rental company to report something minor. They came the next morning to take care of it. They also called the day we were arriving to make sure we had a safe trip in.

Unsafe and dirty

The photos of this property must have been taken prior to anyone ever staying here. The house was in disarray, with water damage, mold growing on ceilings, the fridge, and items found in the kitchen. The spindles on the banister for the stairs were falling out and a small child could have very easily fallen through. The fridge, stove, vaccum, and multiple chairs were broken, along with the hot tub not being available for use during our stay. On top of this, the house was filthy when we arrived, and they had to bring in an emergency cleaning crew who attempted to clean the main living area and kitchen. I have stayed in many rental homes over the years and I am sad to say that this one was by far the dirtiest upon arrival. That being said, if the house gets a good cleaning, and some TLC, it could be a very nice place to stay with easy beach access. But until that happens, it was not worth the money we paid.

Nice house, bad management/housekeeping

On entering the house, we found: Dog hair on all rugs and bedding. Dog urine in multiple rooms on floor. Food crumbs in kitchen (floor, counters, table). Poop in toilets. Multiple hairs in every shower. Hot tub cover was upside down and had a vape on it. Attempted to call local and phone number on arrival due to cleanliness issues. Left messages with no response ever received. Messaged via trip manager and text number. Both requested photos, which I immediately sent. I was told someone local would contact me ASAP. No one ever contacted me. I was finally able to talk to someone 2 days later, when I called AGAIN. I did finally get a call from local management after that, when we were issued a VERY small refund. 6 of us scrubbed the house and rewashed all bedding before we would unpack. Such a waste because the house was actually quite nice, close to beach access, beds were comfortable and outdoor spaces/screened porch were great.

We enjoyed a fabulous time for our family vacation in North Topsail Beach. It perfectly suited us with 10 adults, 6 children from ages 16 years to 16 months, and two dogs. Everyone was very comfortable in this recently built home. The kitchen was great and well equipped for the most part. (They could have used a few more tea spoons and the crockpot was cracked and unusable.). On the other hand they had two coffee makers, one was a drip and the other a Keurig. The AC worked very well, and we loved the convenience of an elevator, especially when moving in and moving out. It was also nice when bringing in groceries. The family enjoyed the pool as well as the hot tub. Several had fun playing on the put-put hole beside the pool. The proximity to the beach was amazing and this stretch of beach was not crowded at all. We had such a good time, we’ve already reserved a week at the same house for next year!
