Enjoy a week or (less) at the beach, in the perfect spot by the ocean, at a very affordable price! Very Quiet apartment with no one above your apartment. PLEASE consider staying a month in the fall winter or spring, only $1650. @month including VRBO deductions and taxes.
Apartment/ flat, is close to everything, especially the ocean! Couple's so far, have found the accommodations to be more than comfortable and convenient, with adequate room to relax in style! A well equipped kitchen, separates the living room from Bedroom/bath. Bedroom leads to back patio where you can grill or sit out. For your convenience, sheets can be furnished along with towels. Please let me know...because, some prefer to bring their own. For those who will be visiting 3 days or more a washer and dryer are available for your use, in a private clean utility room next to your back sliding door! A grill on the patio is for your use ...weather permitting! Nothing fancy, just charcoal..
Enjoy listening to the ocean sitting on the front patio or take a walk from the driveway to the beach access, directly across the street! Topsail Island is a barrier island. It is surrounded by water. Intra-coastal waterway is on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side. It's a rugged island and has been through many hurricanes. Every one takes a toll but, Topsail comes back even stronger! Come visit, see the history that made this island so interesting!! Laid back and easy going, ride bikes if you want to rent them or rent a golf cart and tour at ease. Many Island restaurants close by 9 p.m. , I might suggest, plan on eating earlier and party after!
Come as you are nothing fancy just a nice time and great memories!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We loved the location which is directly across from the beach access and the neighborhood is very quiet and nice. We enjoyed visiting with Carla, she is a wonderful host and checked to see that all our needs were met. We will definitely return to this rental.

Thank you for choosing Anchors Aweigh. I enjoyed meeting and talking with you. Hope you're doing well !

We had a wonderful time at Anchors Aweigh!. It is just steps from the ocean, clean, and had everything we needed. Carla is an exceptional host! It is well worth it to check this rental out. Perfect for my husband, dog and I!! We hope to go back again!
My stay here was wonderful. The owner was kind and generous making sure the condo was clean and quiet. The walk to the beach was short and easy and absolutely what I needed to get away. I am planning on staying here again next summer. What a wonderful trip I had.
We only had 4 days to enjoy but the property was perfect for us, very clean and conveniently located close to the beach and other activities (shopping/restaurants).Carla was very nice and supplied everything we needed to get our vacation started. We only wish we had more time to stay longer. Highly recommend for a relaxing time.

Perfect location and Carla was great about touching base and making sure we had everything we needed. For the two of us, we couldn't have found a better place.
It was wonderful being so close both to the beach and to the restaurants while being on a quiet little road. The accommodations are very comfortable and welcoming. Carla has gone out of her way to make it a home away from home.

I loved the decorations in the apartment, and the bed was very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay so much last year that we returned. It’s a fabulous location, a comfortable apartment and Carla goes out of her way to make the stay a good one.
This was our first time at Topsail Island and I can't imagine a better host or place than Carla's! Truly just across the street from beach access - you can hear the waves from your front porch. Perfect size for my daughter and I and our dogs. The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked with anything you need while away from home. The bed was comfy and the place was spotless. Carla was the best host as she made sure we had what we needed, as well as supplied beach chairs and boogie boards for us! We will absolutely be back and are thankful she makes her place available.

We were very pleased how nice the place was, a convenient location and the hostess was fabulous. Steps to the beach.
Perfect for 2 people and or couple with one small child. We had a blast.
We have family in the area so we decided to stay here for the week. The proximity to the beach is incredible, it’s mere steps away. Clean and cozy just perfect forward to. Would definitely stay again.
