Perfect for our annual girls trip with family! House was so comfortable, clean and well stocked. Would go back anytime and highly recommend to friends. Perfect stay!
We really enjoyed our time here! House was just as described and had everything we needed! Being steps from the beach was exactly what we wanted! I would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Thank you so much for staying with us! We look forward to having you back again.
Our family enjoys a low-key oceanfront vacation relaxing to the sounds of the ocean, playing in the waves, catching fish, walking on the beach, and making memories. This home allowed us to do just that!
This place was fabulous. Very clean. Fully stocked with all necessities - plus extras. Kitchen had everything you’d need. Beds were very comfortable. Everything was perfect. Looking forward to my next visit!
This property was perfect! The location was great and the house had everything we needed. Everything was clean, updated, and extremely organized. The process was so smooth - thanks for a great vacation!
We spent 3 nights at Kolleen and Jason's foe our anniversary. The house was beautifully redone, clean, and had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect as were the views; just steps to the beach! Highly recommend and hope to stay here again!
This place was pretty great. The house was very clean, well appointed and updated with nice appliances and finishes.
I wish we could afford to come here more
Perfect home and location right on the beach! Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and did I mention, it’s right on the beach! The hosts are so nice and easy to communicate with. This was our 3rd stay at this lovely home in the last 4 years so it feels like a home away from home! We hope to stay here again !
We absolutely loved staying here - from booking, to check to check out, everything was simple and easy. The house was BEAUTIFUL! The views were amazing. There was everything we could have needed and more - the outside shower was a bonus for the kids after a day at the beach, the beds were extremely comfortable and the entire house was so clean. Best place we have stayed on the island and will be returning
This beach house was perfect in every way! From the landscaping to the minimalist style we enjoyed every minute of a long weekend. Anything we needed was supplied. The beach was beautiful and easily accessible. We hope to come back soon.
The house and area is very nice. Beds are extremely comfortable. Many places to eat nearby and a grocery store as well. The host responded to any questions I had in a timely manner. Over all we had a great stay.
My family has a wonderful time and Kolleen was an amazing host. Great communication even before I booked the house. Great food recommendations. We had a slight maintenance issue and she took care of it ASAP. The house was wonderful, just off the main street so it can get noisy. Other than that it was fantastic! Fit our small extended family well.
This property is exactly as advertised. It is a super short walk down your own private walk-way to the beach. The house is gorgeous! Beautifully decorated, the beds were soft and comfortable, and both "adult" bedrooms had views of the ocean / beach. Great water pressure in the showers and kitchen sink. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to cook. Plenty of space for the 8 of us (4 adults and 4 children from 3yo to 6yo). I hate to say it, but you will not regret booking and staying here (and I only hate to say it because then it might not be available the next time we want to book). Thank you, Kolleen (and family) for letting us stay in your fantastic beach home!!

Thank you so much for staying at our home away from home. We look forward to having you back.
My wife and I had a great time celebrating our third wedding anniversary here. The house was recently updated from top to bottom and was very well appointed as well as nicely decorated. The close proximity to the ocean made it so convenient if you needed anything from the house while at the beach. The house is close enough to Sneads Ferry and Surf City to make any trips to the store or restaurants convenient but the island over all is lacking in amenities. Not that this is a bad thing it’s also what gives the island its uncommercialized charm just be prepared. Highly recommended Splash by the Sea, an ocean front restaurant located a short bike ride away near the sea view pier and Davis Seafood in Sneads Ferry.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the only complaint we have is that the fish weren't biting the week we were there! The home was exceptionally clean and ready for us at the promised check-in time. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the sheets and towels provided with the house were of top quality. It was especially convenient to use the beach towels provided with the house, and the full-size washer and dryer was such a great accessory. We enjoyed sunrises from the ocean-front covered porch and sunsets over the intercoastal waterway from the roadside porch. The outside water hose and separate shower area was great for rinsing off after spending the day on the beach, and it was nice to be able to rinse off the ocean spray from our cars with the water hoses provided underneath the house. We hope to rent again in 2025!
We loved staying at this beautiful home again & have already reserved it for 2026. The view is exceptional, the bedding is comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, except we missed having a toaster. We enjoyed seeing dolphin out front & caught 8 nice whiting in the surf. A rainbow appeared during our stay and landed right on top of the house
We had an amazing time! The house is in a perfection location and has everything you need. When you open the back door, you are steps away from the beach. The beds were very comfortable and the house was immaculate. We will stay here again!
Our family of 4 had a great time at the beach house! Comfortable and spacious, great layout for a family. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. Perfect location on the beach, in a quiet area. We loved it!

About the host
Hosted by Kolleen Losch
We are Jason and Kolleen Losch, owners of this property since 2018. Complete renovation was completed in May 2019. We primarily reside in Milton, Ga just north of Atlanta. We have 5 grown children. We love to go to the beach ourselves! We love North Topsail for the beach, the surf and the beachtown pace!
Why they chose this property
High Dunes and Natural Privacy: The high dunes are not only a natural barrier that adds to your privacy but also offer incredible views. They create a peaceful, serene setting, shielding you from the more crowded areas of the island. This means fewer people, less noise, and more space to enjoy the beach, making your property feel like a secluded paradise.
Full-Time Neighbors: The presence of full-time residents creates a sense of community and stability. This is something that many seasonal beach destinations lack, giving your neighborhood a more personalized, homey feel. You’re surrounded by people who care about the area and are invested in keeping it well-maintained, which adds to the charm and appeal of the location.
Privacy and Expansive Beach: Since the public beach is farther away, you get the benefit of fewer tourists and more uninterrupted beachfront to enjoy. This adds a sense of exclusivity to your property, as you’re able to enjoy the sand and surf without worrying about crowds. It’s ideal for peaceful walks, beach sports, or just relaxing in a more intimate setting with family and friends.
These elements together create a unique beachfront experience in North Topsail, offering both natural beauty and privacy while maintaining a sense of community with your neighbors. This combination likely makes your house not just a vacation spot, but a true sanctuary where you can escape the hustle and bustle of more tourist-heavy areas.
What makes this property unique
Immaculately Maintained Inside and Out: A well-maintained home speaks volumes about its care and attention to detail. It ensures a comfortable, welcoming environment for anyone who stays there. The fact that both the interior and exterior are kept in pristine condition means the home retains its beauty and functionality, providing a luxurious, worry-free experience for visitors. This level of upkeep sets your house apart from others that may show signs of wear and tear, especially in beachside properties where the elements can be harsh.
Direct Access to the Beach: Having direct access to the beach is a game-changer. It’s a rare and coveted feature, offering the convenience of stepping right from your house onto the sand without having to navigate busy public beach access points. This makes your home feel like a private retreat where the ocean is practically at your doorstep, ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the beach whenever they wish.
Together, these factors—immaculate maintenance and direct beach access—make our beach house a special place for relaxation, comfort, and coastal enjoyment, offering both privacy and effortless access to the beauty of North Topsail.
