About this property

Coastal Retreat w/ Private Beach Access & Elevator. Short walk to ocean & sound.

Create vacation memories in this beautiful coastal home on a quiet street just a short walk from both the ocean and the sound. Don’t worry about carrying your luggage up any stairs, since the elevator goes from ground level parking to all other floors.

Sip your morning coffee from one of four decks allowing you to choose how much sun, shade or breeze you prefer. Families will appreciate the spacious kitchen, well supplied for cooking meals. Enjoy eating at “home” with a table that seats eight comfortably and ten if you are cozy, plus four stools at the bar. Or gather on the first floor patio below the home with dinner from the grill, a swing for the kids, and string lighting ambience. For those who need to hop on their laptops, both king bedrooms include small desks.

A private beach access is just a four-minute walk away and a small community dock for the sound is even closer. Within two miles you will find shopping, dining, a small grocery store, coffee, donuts and multiple ice cream shops. Mini golf and a larger grocery store are less than four miles away.

Some favorite local activities include outdoor movies in the summer, sea turtle hospital tours, the Missiles and More Museum, sunrises over the ocean and sunsets over the sound. Ideal for up to 11 guests.

Great stay
We had a great stay at 16 candles. The listing was just as described. The kitchen was well stocked. The outdoor space under the house was nice. We enjoyed that there were games. The owners left a thoughtful little welcome basket and were very responsive to any questions we had. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable.

Perfection!
Every single thing about this home was perfect! We traveled down to spend Thanksgiving with our Marine who is currently at Camp Lejeune and it felt just like home, only way better! It was chilly out but we loved walking on the beach(access is literally right across the street) everything about this home was immaculate and comfortable and so clean! Everything you need is provided! The elevator was the best! Communication with the host was great! There were 6 of us and we had a ton of room! Thanks so much for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Dorothy

Host profile image
Hello! We're a husband & wife team excited to share the quaint beauty of the Topsail / Surf City region with our guests. Mike grew up in North Carolina while Dorothy was raised a Nebraska Cornhusker. Together, we have called Wilmington home for over 20 years. We enjoy playing disc golf, traveling, time with family and friends, and good food, rich coffee (Mike) and dark chocolate (Dorothy).

Thanks for taking the time to view our home. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to the opportunity to help your family create memorable Topsail traditions.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is dear to our family because it is where we came together with extended family each year for our annual summer beach trip. Off the main road, the location is the perfect quiet setting for families while still being a short walk to the ocean. The private beach access leads to a wide stretch of beach that is never crowded and often has tidal pools for the younger kids.
