About this property

Sea & Sound- Top Level, Dog Friendly

 

New Feature! When you stay at either (or both) Sea & Sound / Sound and Sea you can rent a kayak or 2! 

Each kayak is a single seater. Rent one for $100.00 or both for $150.00. This is the cost for a 1 week rental. There are only 2 kayaks so this is on a first come first serve basis. 

Sea & Sound/ Sound & Sea you can’t ask for more than that, truly the best of both worlds. Built in 1968, this adorable beach home is a little piece of history on Topsail Island. Located on Topsail Beach which is at the South end of Tops’l (as the locals say). It is an equal distance from the beach as it is to the sound. The beach access is in the front directly across the 2-lane street. The sound access is behind the home down a short Live Oak edged stone drive. This home truly feels like a beach house that’s sweet and nostalgic dropped into our modern time. You will love the feel of Sea & Sound/ Sound & Sea whether you rent the top floor, the bottom floor, or the entire home. 

Sea & Sound is on the top floor. Decorated in soothing pale-blue greens, white trim, and natural wood, it is both relaxing and functional. The living room has a comfortable sectional couch that will tempt you into staying home for a catnap while everyone else goes out to play. The dining room table seats 6 and the kitchen is equipped with everything you will need for a quick meal on your way out to your next adventure. There are 2 bedrooms with queen-size beds and 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds. The bathroom has been completely renovated including a step-in shower (no bathtub). This floor sleeps 6. You’ll really love the convenience of the stacked washer and dryer after a day on the beach.  The top floor has a lovely partial wrap around the deck. On the deck near the front door is a small table with 2 chairs, just the perfect spot to sit quietly, sip your coffee and watch the sun come up, turning a grey horizon into a magnificent orange sky. 

Rent just one floor or both. You will find a connection to a by gone time that you thought you had lost or maybe never had. Topsail will lull you into a state of relaxation you’ll want to return to again and again. Bring your entire family including your much-loved fur babies. You’ll find yourself taking long walks on the beach picking up shark’s teeth and sea glass along the way or take advantage of the 2 one seater Kayak that you can rent singularly or together to paddle the many estuaries leading to the Inter Coastal Waterway. Simply walk down the road next to the home to find where you can launch your kayak or paddleboard. What an amazing experience to be out on the sound watching the myriad of shorebirds fly across a sky painted with the sorbet colors of sunset! Once your day is winding down and you return home tired and sugared with salt and sand, you’ll truly appreciate the hot and cold running outside shower.

Parking is at a premium on this residential part of the Island. There are 2 spaces for each unit, 4 in total. One of those spaces is smaller and should be used for a compact vehicle.  

Topsail Island has many fun and fascinating spots to visit. This is truly a thriving beach community with a small-town feel, no wonder it’s been considered Mayberry by the Sea (book of the same name by the local author Ray McAllister). This home is located only 5 miles from Surf City where you can find many wonderful privately owned beach shops and restaurants BUT even closer is Topsail Beach. If you have Fishermen (or Ladies) in your group a trip to the Jolly Roger Pier is a must! Jutting out 850 feet into the ocean you can sometimes see dolphins and sea turtles swimming by. The Missiles and More Museum offers you the fascinating history of Topsail from the pirates who gave the island its name to the military using it in World War II. Conveniently within walking distance of the museum is Quarter Moon Books and Gifts where you can enjoy your coffee or maybe a glass of wine before heading to a 5-star dinner at the Beach Shop & Grill. If you are truly looking for a retro vibe and a lot of fun stop off and lace those skates up at Topsail Beach Skating Rink, open since 1964 this landmark has been a part of so many family history. 

 

Sea & Sound/ Sound & Sea whichever you prefer, or you love them both equally, this home will take you back to a simpler time when enjoying the people you are with and the beautiful surroundings you find yourself in is all that truly matters.

Great time on the beach
Great location to the beach. Perfect weather for late September. Very comfortable house. Starting to show signs of wear, tear and weather. Over all, we would stay there again. Loved the island. Loved the location, and just loved being there.

Slightly disappointed
Close to the beach! Cleaning crew arrived late so there we had to wait outside till they finished and when we got inside there was still dog hair all over the place and the air conditioning vents were layered in dust so we were not too pleased. We cleaned the vents ourselves and tried to clean the filter a bit so that there was not as much dust flying around. Not a lot of parking for a house that has 3 bedrooms and sleeps 6. Air conditioning broke at 11pm and had to wait till 9am the next day to get it fixed which was miserable in the heat and dust. Overall the stay was nice aside from a few hiccups.
