We enjoyed a weekend getaway at this ocean view on the beach condo. The views are stunning and condo is clean beautiful decor throughout. It’s small, cozy and quaint. The host Alan was very responsive and friendly. Don’t forget to play a game of volleyball or corn hole at the Tiki Bar across the street from condo.
Quick trip for the Memorial Day Weekend. Easy access directly to the beach. The bed frame in one of the bedrooms is a little bit older and should be replaced. That’s my only complaint

About the host
Hosted by Paragon Vacations
Paragon Vacations manages this gorgeous home for it's owner who cares deeply about the property and the location. They wish to offer their 2nd home to others in the hope they enjoy their time relaxing in North Topsail Beach as much as they do!
Why they chose this property
The Topsail Reef HOA is a very unique condo complex- you literally cannot get any closer to the ocean! During high-tides the water comes right up to the sandbags- at first it may be a little worrisome, but rest-assured the building is safe! It is incredibly calming to sit out on the balcony, staring out at miles and miles of endless ocean while listening to the waves crashing below. The town & HOA work diligently every year on beach nourishment projects
"The Reef" is a popular location because of its tranquil and low-key atmosphere and its proximity to the inlet, which is a great place to take a walk and comb the beach for treasures.
