Closest to the ocean

The location of this unit is really ideal in terms of ocean views and this building has some of the best staircase access in the complex at high tide. The furniture is basic and not the most comfortable, but we don't come to the beach for the furniture. Really great value for the location!

Thank you, Jody, for your feedback. The Topsail Reef is the ONLY oceanfront condo community with ALL 1 BR units right on the ocean and steps from the beach. The clientele are Beach and Ocean Lovers who want easy access to the beach and to hear the waves crashing. Guests that want "Resort Vacations" and fancier amenities, like bellhops, restaurants and concierge service, can choose one of the Resort Style condos that don't have easy beach access. Topsail Reef are for the guests choosing a simpler Beach Vacation.

Beautiful View…

The condo was clean and well appointed but the kitchen cabinets have the vernier pealing and there is a constant smell of moisture. It was still a wonderful stay but beech access can be difficult because you’re not allowed to walk on the giant sand bags so you have to walk through a 3 foot deep tide pool.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful beach home. There was a few things that needed fixing and we took pictures of everything like the lease agreement specified, but other than that we had a great beach vacation. You absolutely cannot get any closer to the beach than what we were. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to rent it again. The Craigs

Musty, dank and damp. Triggered my son's asthma. When I told tje owner he responded "that happens this time of year". Can't fall into the ocean fast enough.
