About this property

“Mother Ocean” was named after the inspiration of the ocean and beaches at Topsail, and the life-long gifts that they pass on to those who travel here. The property is a portion of a family-owned tract that was acquired in 1907 by our great grandfather, which included approximately a mile of the beach extending south of the property. The oceanfront in the vicinity of the house and on adjacent properties is vacant, which affords beautiful unobstructed panoramic views, and a private beach front with direct private access. A deck is located atop the dune on the ocean side for relaxing, and beachfront viewing. Private access to the sound is also available for canoeing, kayaking or fishing...or just to sit at the picnic table and enjoy the sunset! The house includes three bedrooms and two full baths with an ocean side deck with swing for taking in the view, and a back screened porch with a fan and swing for a quiet secluded break in the action. The house sleeps nine comfortably in the bedrooms, and eleven including the day bed in the living area. Escape from your everyday grind, and come enjoy the paradise of Topsail Island at this truly unique home!!

Great older home. With a few cleanliness issues

This is my 3rd time staying at Mother Ocean. It is an older beach home. It has a fabulous view and a new walkway over the beach. They have made some improvements inside. Owner was quick to respond. My issue was cleanliness. I found multiple dirty dishes cups, plates and bowls in the cupboards. Also there were items left in the bedroom drawer that should have been removed. I would stay here again.

Fantastic Mini Vacation

The home was comfortable and big enough to fit my family of 8 (2 adults, 6 children). The private beach entrance was great. It rained the entire trip, so we enjoyed the house quite a bit. The swings on the porches were a huge hit with the kids and the board games were fun as well. The only issue we had with the home was that the outlets weren't covered in the home (childproofing) and we had a toddler with us that loves to explore. We could close the doors to all of the rooms to prevent her from entering, but the kitchen was open and the outlet on the end of the breakfast bar was her go-to for my anxiety lol. Other than that everything was perfect. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!
