Second-Row Beach Cottage with Incredible Ocean Views, Hot Tub & Crow's Nest Deck

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

Teach's Lookout: Second-Row Beach Cottage with Incredible Ocean Views, Hot Tub & Crow's Nest Deck

Bed Sizes: Queen (1), Twin Bunk Beds (2)

Property Highlights: Second Row • Ocean Views • Beach Access Across the Street • Hot Tub • Expansive Tiered Decks • Crow's Nest Sun Deck • Dog Friendly

Welcome to Teach's Lookout!

Some beach houses are all about what's inside—at Teach's Lookout, you'll want to spend just as much time outdoors. Set just across the street from the beach in North Topsail Beach, this charming coastal cottage pairs easy beach access with an incredible collection of outdoor spaces designed for soaking up the views.

The expansive tiered deck is the star of the show, offering plenty of room to spread out, dine outdoors, relax in the sun, or settle into the shade with the ocean in view. Head all the way up to the crow's nest sun deck for an even higher vantage point overlooking the coastline. It's a favourite spot for morning coffee, catching the sunrise, or winding down as the sky changes colour in the evening.

When you're ready for the beach, public access is conveniently located just across the quiet street, making it easy to come and go throughout the day. Back at the house, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower before heading upstairs—or skip straight to the hot tub for a relaxing soak after a day on the sand.
Inside, Teach's Lookout keeps things comfortable and casual with the character of a classic Topsail beach cottage. The open living, dining, and kitchen areas create an inviting place to reconnect between adventures, while abundant windows bring in natural light and keep those coastal views close.

The outdoor spaces continue beyond the main deck with a covered bar area, elevated picnic table for meals together, and a ground-level covered patio. Fishing enthusiasts will also appreciate the dedicated fish-cleaning station with built-in cutting boards for preparing the day's catch.

Best of all, dogs are welcome, and the gated deck areas provide additional outdoor space for your four-legged family members to enjoy alongside you.

Whether you're crossing the street for another beach day, relaxing in the hot tub, watching the waves from the deck, or heading to the crow's nest to catch the view, Teach's Lookout is an easygoing North Topsail Beach getaway made for slowing down and enjoying the coast.

Perfect Cozy Cottage on the Water

We loved everything about this house! The location is perfect for a quiet family vacation in Topsail Beach. The kids loved being so close to the water and beach to play everyday. We loved watching the dolphins right from the deck, sunrises were amazing, and the house was just right for our family of 5. Having on site laundry was a HUGE bonus for a beach vacation stay. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and the check in process was a breeze.

We enjoyed our time at Teach’s Lookout. Five of us two dogs stayed for two weeks in June, and the beach was consistently used by nearby houses but not crowded. The view was even better than anticipated, and the gates on the deck made it so easy to sit out with the dogs without worrying about what they might get into. We could always find shade or sun, depending on our moods and the temp. The crow’s nest deck was fun to use and provided a broader view for early morning coffee and late-night beverages.The access point was so convenient, and this section of the beach was very clean and quiet. We always stay oceanside, but this spot just across the street was just as nice.We used the hot tub quite a bit — it was a perfect activity when we didn’t have the time to take our stuff to the sand across the street. The house had nearly everything we needed, and the living room area was very comfortable. The outside shower was great, and the laundry room was very neatly kept.We used Andrew’s Produce quite a bit during this stay, given how close it is! Fresh fruits, veggies, pies, and some jams that we bought as souvenirs to bring home for family and friends.This is a classic beach house, which we love. Well-kept, smaller, more vintage houses are getting harder and harder to find. We are grateful this one was shared with us for a few weeks.

Super property for a couple and a dog

This property was perfect for us. Excellent situation close to beach and wonderful views of the ocean. Well equipped with everything we needed, more than was expected after reading information. Huge deck with gates to stairs which meant we could allow our dog to lie outside and not worry. The hot tube was wonderful, perfect temperature, fairly private and good views. Loved the tall chairs, perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by. Superb place to relax and unwind.

Great view, poor house.

The location of the home was amazing. The cleanliness of the home was also good. But there was only one trash bag. The kitchen lights did not work. The Wi-Fi went out half way through our stay and did not turn back on. The bathroom exhaust fan did not work. The master bedroom ceiling fan was incredibly noisy. There was several nails and screws sticking up on the deck. The view was amazing and we loved being so close to the beach.

Perfect low-key, restful vacation home

This beautiful little home is perfect for getting away to do a lot of nothing but basking in the slowness of Topsail Island. First of all, North Topsail Beach is quiet and friendly. We were steps from the beach. You can walk or bike on the quiet road that roads behind the home. We spent so much time on the porch and levels of decks. The views are spectacular. We have been to other Carolina beaches. This one is much less crowded. We spent the week as a family enjoying each other's company but could easily move to an area (porch, deck, bedroom) to be alone for a bit. The kitchen has what you will need for simple meals. It is an older property but has new windows and flouring. There is a new water heater. The AC was great.

Fantastic find

The house was amazing. Just as advertised. Views were fantastic. We had one fantastic sunset due to cloudiness. Some nights were a bit chilly but the hot tub made up for it. We were presented with falling stars one night, a beautiful rainbow over the ocean another day. Even caught glimps of dolphins. Day trip to Wilmington. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Also a lovely hike over the intercostal waterway bridge. A fantastic week to start 2025. Could become our New Years tradition. One warning though. If you have a fur baby the yard is true to being a beach yard with sand spurs. Ours picked a couple in his paws but was easily removed. 10 stars from us.

Great Outdoor Living Space

We loved the house and the location. The deck area and outdoor living space was amazing. We had such a great time and will always love the location and the memories made there. The only reason I took away a star was because the beds were not that comfortable and the master bedroom also stayed way warmer than the other rooms. The bunk room would be ice cold while the master was warm. We tried variations of keeping the bedroom doors open or closed and couldn’t quite get the temperature right to stay cool at night in the master. The house is so cute though and the decor was great as well. We had plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, etc provided. We wouldn’t change a thing except to have been a little more comfortable while sleeping.

Great views and nice deck. Small, quaint, comfortable place. When we got to the house, there was no basic essentials, like no toilet paper, soap, scrub brushes, paper towels, towels, trashbags, etc. We were told that these were supplied (on listing and over messaging). Reached out to Vacasa, they did not get back to me until the next day. I requested compensation and they did accordingly. We were only able to take about a 3 minute shower before the hot water started running out, which was disappointing. Hot tub maintenance people came one day without any kind of notification beforehand.
