Clean and spacious

The home is more private and quiet than you'd think, being right on S. Topsail Drive.

Home away from home

We had a wonderful stay at Home by the Sea! The property is beautiful and conveniently located just a short walk from the beach and a short drive from shops and dining. The outdoor shower was a lifesaver when returning from a day of fun with sand-covered kids. Everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen as well as on the grill was supplied. Most importantly, our host, Tracy, was lovely, answering all of our questions and exceeding our expectations. We would definitely stay here again!

Views, plenty of room, close to it all

Lovely views of the marsh, and we had fun seeing bunnies and birds. The beach is close, and although it’s a busy road to cross the trail js right there and it’s an easy quick walk for beach access. Plus there is an outdoor shower, and that made everything easy. I love cooking and certainly missed my pots and pans but it was a lovely stay and we had plenty of room to relax and enjoy our stay. It was an easy process.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Snow

I have loved Topsail for 10 years! My family and I have vacationed here annually and made memories of a lifetime playing in the sand and surf. I am so excited to share this piece of paradise with you to help you make the same invaluable memories!

Why they chose this property

The Snow Castle is located on a 2 acre lot backed to the Intercoastal Waterway for peaceful views of wildlife and boats sailing by. The ocean is steps away across a boardwalk awaiting your, "toes in the sand" adventure! This home is cleaned with extrodinary care and natural light floods the living areas! Views from every room! The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom for privacy! The outdoor shower is an added bonus to wash away the day's adventure and sand!

What makes this property unique

Topsail is just different! Ask any local around and they will tell you that the relaxed and friendly vibe of the island is second to none! Uniquely close to the peaceful tranquility of the ICW and the roar of the ocean adventure!
