Location, location, location. Our cozy cottage on the canal, is the perfect place to enjoy all that South Topsail has to offer. You will be steps away from the beach and beautiful Serenity Point.

The large front porch is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise, with a warm cup of coffee or enjoy the ocean breeze later in the day. With the Bush Marina and Jolly Roger Fishing Pier close by, you can launch a boat or try your hand with some fishing. Our newly renovated house is comfortable and well stocked with kitchen and living supplies. Features include a charcoal grill, outdoor shower, 1 Kayak, 3 bikes, 2 surf boards, multiple beach chairs and plenty of beach toys and many other extras.

A warm and fuzzy place steps from the ocean

My sister and I came here for some respite a few days after our mother died. My brother joined us for one night. My sister is very familiar with South Topsail beach, having vacationed there for decades. We both agreed upon checking in that the home was ultra clean, nicely decorated for a beach house, and well stocked.

Perfect Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect. We were able to walk easily back and forth to the beach and use the nice chairs that were provided. The boys rode the bikes through the quiet neighborhood, although they had construction currently taking place beside us that wasn't so quiet (of course not the owner's fault). I took many naps in the hammock, had coffee on the deck, and enjoyed having everything we needed at the property to feel at home. Thank you to the Mullins family for a wonderful , relaxing , week at our favorite beach.

Nice little house close to the beach

The house was nice and clean. The ease of getting to the beach was a huge plus. I had never been to Topsail and did not realize that it took so long to get to the house from when you cross the bridge (about 20min). It was great to have the beach pretty much to ourselves, but have to plan ahead for shopping, which we did! Had a great time, but luck of the weather was not on our side this trip. Was freezing, but we bundled up and found plenty of sharks teeth and shells while letting the kids dig and bury themselves and learn the hard way that the ocean is not our friend when it's 40 degrees. Being so close to the beach made those mistakes easier to deal with. Would definitely stay again.

Repeat visitor, we love this place

We came back for the second year in a row to this fantastic property. The location is incredible, steps away from the beach, which is uncrowded with the most beautiful blue/green water. Our kids (9 and 7 yo twins) boogie boarded and made sand castles, and we also took them for putt putt, ice cream, and to the shops in Topsail and Surf City. We were only here for a weekend but wanted to stay longer! The home is great. The kitchen has everything we needed, beds were most comfortable of any rental we’ve ever had. The downstairs shower came in handy as there is only one full bathroom in the house. We enjoyed the large deck in the mornings and in the evening as well. We look forward to returning again next year or sooner if we are able!

Great location and easy access, just 1 hiccup

The owners were great and had great communication. Shared lots of info about the location. But when we arrived there was a dead roach in one of the rooms, I immediately texted the owner and he explained they had had a lot of rain and that sometimes happened but that they have the house sprayed regularly. Ok I can move forward with that, we were also just staying 2 nights. Everything was clean and well maintained. 2nd night…. A live one in the bathroom. We were leaving the next day so we just killed it. And the grass could have used mowing. But other than that, it was a great house, lots of chairs and beach items for use. Perfect location, quiet neighborhood
