About this property

Renovated Oceanfront Duplex with a New Kitchen, 3 Decks & Steps to the Sand

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Welcome to Sandy Cheeks, where the beach is quite literally your backyard! 🌊
​​​​​​​
This beautifully updated oceanfront duplex in North Topsail Beach puts you just steps from the sand with private beach access, incredible ocean views, and multiple outdoor spaces made for soaking up the coastal lifestyle.

From the moment you arrive, bright coastal touches and relaxed beach-inspired décor set the tone for your stay. The first level features two comfortable bedrooms, including one with a private bathroom. The oceanfront bedroom opens onto the first of three decks, giving you easy access to the beach and a front-row seat to the sights and sounds of the waves.

Head upstairs to the bright and inviting main living area, where plenty of natural light and ocean views create the perfect gathering space after a day on the sand. The newly renovated kitchen brings a fresh, modern feel to the space with beautiful finishes, plenty of room to prepare and share meals, and a breakfast bar that makes it easy for everyone to gather together. Just beyond the living area, step onto the oceanfront deck for your morning coffee, an afternoon break in the salty breeze, or an evening spent watching the waves roll in.

The third level is home to the spacious primary bedroom and the largest of the home's balconies. Furnished for lounging and overlooking the ocean, it's an ideal spot to slow down, enjoy the view, and take in everything that makes a Topsail beach getaway special.

With three levels of coastal living, a beautifully renovated kitchen, multiple oceanfront decks, and private access directly to the beach, Sandy Cheeks makes it easy to spend your vacation exactly where you came to be — by the water.
When you're ready to explore, Surf City is just a short drive away with local restaurants, shops, and the Surf City Ocean Pier, while North Topsail Beach Town Park and other Topsail Island favorites are also nearby.

Whether you're starting the morning with a walk along the shoreline, spending the afternoon with your toes in the sand, or winding down to the sound of the waves, Sandy Cheeks is your front-row seat to Topsail Island living. 🏖️

Beautiful beach house

This beach house was absolutely beautiful and very clean and welcoming. Everything that you could possibly need for a house was provided, which was unexpected. Steps from the ocean, which was the best part of the property. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place as a piece of paradise for a beach vacation

Sandy Cheeks-you did not disappoint!!

We just had a wonderful week at Sandy Cheeks. From watching dolphins from our decks to being able to walk on the beach right out our door, it all could not have been any better. It does have a lot of steps as listed in the ad so no one should be surprised by that. All of the beds were most comfortable! Questions were answered timely! A++++(very clean!)

Great views!

This house has great views from all ocean facing rooms and decks. And the ocean literally comes right up to the steps at high tide. There is still plenty of beach room to set up for the day. We had a great time and got lots of steps in! Be prepared for a lot of going up and down steps. It’s definitely a chore on move in and move out day.

Great stay!

We loved the location on the island. Very quiet. Tons of space for lounging & sleeping. The outdoor decks were amazing! My one heads up would be that if you aren’t a fan of stairs, may want to rethink this property. It’s 3 levels & a lot of stairs, especially for someone who might be older. Another thing to know is that the only access to the beach is thru one of the downstairs bedrooms. Wasn’t an issue for us, but could potentially be awkward walking back & forth thru someone’s room. Would definitely recommend & would stay here again.

Hi Karen, Thank you for your compliment, and we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the number of stairs in the property and the access to the beach through one of the downstairs bedrooms were issues for you. We understand how challenging it can be to navigate a property with many stairs and how inconvenient it can be to access the beach through a bedroom. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. We still hope you enjoyed and had a great time, and we can't wait to host you again in one of our homes for a truly exceptional experience.

We really enjoyed our stay!

We really loved the house, being just a few steps away from the beach and the area! The house is very clean, well decorated and nicely stocked, which greatly appreciated. Even though it was December, we had beautiful 50-60 degree days where we could have the door open or sit on one of the three balconies, and enjoy the sun, the view and ocean breeze. We walked the beach for shells, walked down to the pier, and got some pretty sunrise and sunset photos. If I had to say one improvement needed...my parents slept in the 1st floor balcony room and they said the queen bed is due for a new mattress (easy fix) and would definitely NOT keep us from booking this house again! We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you

Carrie, thank you for sharing your experience, we're so pleased you loved our home and its location served you well! That said, while we acknowledge that beds will not suit everyone's specific preferences, we regret if ours was not comfortable for your parents and have shared your feedback with the local manager. Thank you for being our guest and we hope to host you again soon.

The Perfect Oceanfront Oasis!

Sandy Cheeks is the perfect beachfront getaway! As soon as you pull into the driveway you can feel the tranquility of the ocean come over you. The home was thoughtfully equipped for our stay. There were linens, travel-sized toiletries, kitchenwares & Keurig machines; perfect for making our morning coffees & enjoying them on the oceanfront balconies listening to the waves crashing along the shore. All of the bedrooms were a great size & the beds were comfortable. Nothing beats waking up to the sound & sight of ocean! The stairs leading down to the ocean even has an outdoor shower which helps to not track the sand inside the home. This was our favorite beach stay! We will definitely be back!

It was good location, beach not crowded which is what we were after. Layout of the house not ideal, only access to the beach is through a bedroom. The whole unit is cooled with one outdoor unit which is not enough to reach the master suite upstairs. We were hot every night, the thermostat was low as it would go and stillcould not sleep with the heat upstairs. Lots of ants and roaches. 2 out of 4 tvs didn’t work including master bedroom tv which was annoying. Electrical outlet on main porch dangerous and arcs and turns you cord black if trying to use it. I tried to sit out there and work on my laptop but the outlet was dangerous and not working.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location and the peaceful beach access. However, we are truly sorry to learn about the issues you experienced with the layout, cooling, pests, TVs, and the electrical outlet. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests. We have documented your concerns and share them with our local team to address these matters promptly. Your comfort and safety are very important to us, and we appreciate you bringing these to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better stay in the future.
