About this property

The Northern Exposure - Beautiful Beachfront Condo Right on the Ocean.

Welcome to the Northern Exposure! Beautiful top floor beachfront condo with views of the North end of Topsail Island from the bedroom, kitchen and balcony (very few units have views from every room). Wake to a spectacular ocean sunrise from your bedroom window and then sip your coffee on your private balcony watching the dolphins swim by as the fishing boats head out to sea

Provided are: Free parking and Free WiFi! New Roku large flat screen TV, DVD Player, queen size sleeper sofa in living room. Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher in the well-appointed kitchen. Queen size bed and new Roku TV in bedroom. Set of bunk beds in hallway. Two bar height Adirondack chairs and table on balcony. Everything you need to make this your perfect getaway vacation spot.

Weekly (7 night) rentals only during beach season (Apr-Sept). Check in and out is only available on Saturday during this time. Off season rentals require a minimum 3 night stay but have flexible check in/out days. PLEASE NOTE that all bookings will now INCLUDE complete sets of linens and bath towels for your stay (this was the most requested amenity and we are happy to now be able to provide it). We also now have keyless entry (no more keeping track of keys).

Please check out the photos: This isn't simply near the beach or have a view of the beach, you are literally on the beach. The North end of the island isn't crowded even at peak season and provides you plenty of space to enjoy a quiet and relaxing stay.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR TRAVELERS:

Sandbags are in front of all Buildings in North Topsail and the beach directly in front of the building may not be accessible during high tide. There is always beach access and availability that is easy to get to by using the public beach access to the left of building 1 (our building) which is just a short walk away (please see photo).

Please take note that this is a 3rd floor condo with no elevator. While the 3rd floor provides breathtaking views, guests who may have difficulty ascending stairs with luggage, groceries, etc. should take this into consideration.

If you have any questions or concerns, PLEASE inquire. We want to make certain that you have a wonderful stay at the Northern Exposure.

We were only able to squeeze out 3 days, but they were amazing. Sea spray in your face from the balcony. Dolphins with your morning coffee and the sound of the waves to wash the stress away. Perfect for a couple.
Mornings so not dissapoint.
High tide gave way to a new game...Splash Stairs. Have a seat and enjoy! It's Brisk!
Morning coffee wont be the same....

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Marie Grant

Host profile image
My husband and I have been vacationing at Topsail Reef since 2014 and fell in love with the area. We were so happy to finally purchase a condo at Topsail Reef in January of 2021. This is not just an investment property for us but a home away from home. Thus, you can count on it to be well cared for, properly maintained, and continually improved.

Why they chose this property

Wonderful beach front community with everything you could ask for. Enjoy a quiet beach day dolphin watching, swimming, or walking the beach collecting ocean treasures while at the same time having everything you need (fine dining, shopping, etc.) close by.

What makes this property unique

Overlooks North end of Topsail Island with a view from every room. Very few units have this feature. You wake to an unobstructed view of a spectacular ocean sunrise from your bedroom window.
