Beach paradise at Serenity Point - steps from ocean 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 5-6 and is at the south end of Topsail Island at Serenity Point. You’ll be steps from the private beach access to the ocean, the community pool, and the calm waters of the sound.

The 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 long quiet beaches, tall dunes, magical sunsets, starry nights, thriving nature, great shore fishing, and the gorgeous 2 mile walk around the “Point” or end of the island.

Most essentials, beach chairs and gear are supplied so it’s easy to be here! It’s a Sunday to Sunday rental during the summer (less traffic than Saturday’s). 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 two comfortable couches, 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 older children who can climb a short ladder. (Not recommended for young children or grandparents).

We provide linens for the three beds, which are professionally laundered and wrapped for highest sanitation. We have a pack and play crib (no sheets) and an air mattress.

Bathrooms:

There are 2.5 bathrooms (two indoor showers and a large outdoor shower). We provide bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths and kitchen towels (they are professionally laundered). You'll need to bring your own beach towels.

Desk spaces:

Two desks and fast 5G/2G wifi with boosters throughout the home.

Kitchen:

Enjoy our all new appliances in the fully stocked kitchen with most essentials provided (including a large crab boil pot, indoor electric grill, griddle, large roasting pan, blender, toaster, coffeepot and French press, and a slow cooker). 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, corn hole boards, 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 (Quarter Moon) 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 Vizio 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. No pets or Emotional Support Animals are allowed to stay in or visit this property to keep it allergy free for guests and owners. 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 quiet 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 the street 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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Paradise at the Beach!
What an amazing home and location! The house is decorated beautifully with every amenity you can imagine and more. The house is super clean too!! The beds were so comfortable and it was nice to have the linens packed and ready to use. The kitchen is stocked with all you need except your food. It was so nice to lounge on the back deck with great seating options available. The view of the Point is spectacular! And listening to the waves was so relaxing! Our family enjoyed the community pool that was just across the street. The location is ideal with a quick walk to the beach and also to the sound. Definitely take a walk around the Point if you are able to. It was the highlight of our trip! The host, Shannon, left many tips on visiting the area which was helpful. We appreciate all of the effort she has placed in making this a house a home for all who visit! Definitely recommend this Beach Paradise!

Could not recommend more
When you go on vacation, you want to stay somewhere nicer than how you normally live and this house absolutely lives up to the hype. Here are some highlights of our trip: the underside the house had a shower stall (which I'm sure is standard of beach houses normally in this area) but she had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash as well as a loofah already inside as well as a hammock to air dry before entering the house she had a smart lock on the door so all you do is enter the code and it unlocks, no key needed every type of kitchen equipment you could think to need she had available in the kitchen as well as cleaning supplies The bed sheets & mattresses were amazing and it felt as though we were sleeping on clouds (very interested in finding out where she got the bedding). She has a dry-clean service deliver the bedding and you make your own bed that way you know for sure that everything is clean She had a diffuser in the master bedroom with different essential oils to choose from The master bathroom had recently been updated and was very nice (I have a thing about bathrooms and showers and hers was amazing) and all the decor was very fresh and beachy, nothing felt out of date We were all very sad to have to leave and hope that in the future we can have a beach house half this nice!! Thank you to Shannon, our very first family beach trip was a hit :)

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.

Secluded, private beach, excellent location
We visited Topsail and stayed here for around a week in the middle of September. The location is amazing, located on the southern end of the island. Peaceful, quiet - a great place for our little family to spend some time together and relax. The location had quick access to both the beach and the sound side, giving us both an ocean experience and calmer waters in the sound. Communication was easy and straightforward, home was clean.

beautiful house & beach
We loved our time staying here for our family vacation. The house is beautiful, clean & had practically everything we needed. The pack ‘n play was perfect for our youngest & saved space in our own car driving down. Everything you could possibly need for the beach, the house already had. The toys were perfect for our boys & our youngest loved his wagon rides to & from the beach every day. You seriously can’t beat the location, it was so close to the beach & sound and just steps away from the community pool. We loved hanging out on the back deck looking to the ocean. It’s literally the last row of houses on the island. It was so cool to walk from the beach to the tip of the island & around to the sound, especially at night. The beach was beautiful too, so clean & not crowded at all (early June). Shannon was a dream to book with & so easy to communicate with. All of her food recommendations were delicious & she even gave us some activities to do for rainy days or in case the kids needed to get out of the sun for a little. We will definitely be back someday 😊
