INSTANT BOOKING IF DESIRED!!

Well appointed and equipped for all travelers. If you want excitement & activity, there is so much: swimming in the crystal clear Gulf or one of several pools, putt-putt golf, basketball, nature trails, etc. Or you have access to rent paddle boards, kayaks, and jet skis; book a deep sea fishing trip; Baytowne Wharf; shopping at the outlet mall or Grande Boulevard, etc. If it is peace and quiet you want, you can have that too as this unit overlooks the Topsail Hill Nature Preserve. King size bed in Primary bedroom with emerald water view. Guest room has 2 FULL (not Queen) beds.

Why do you come to this part of Florida? To see that emerald water and sugar white sand, of course! This unit has that and more. From the balcony you view the pristine Topsail Hill Nature Preserve and gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. From the front, you can even see the fireworks from Baytowne Wharf and views of the Bay. 3 elevators make this very accessible and the walk to the beach is very short (approximately 300 yards with no road to cross.) The 52 acre Tops'l Resort has much to offer for free: 18 hole putt-putt course, multiple pools, hot tub, etc. Blue Dunes Grill (casual dining and drinks by the beach), the Topspin Bistro (at the Racquet Club for casual dining), and the Ocean Club (more upscale dining by the entrance) are 3 all-time favorites!

OPTIONAL: The Topsl Tennis Club and Fitness Center amenities are available to our guests for an ADDITIONAL $45 per day with a 3-day minimum, which includes amenities for ALL guests staying at the condo. You will have access to a state of the art fitness center (over 16 yr. old only), sauna and steam rooms, 12 clay tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, racquetball courts, and indoor-outdoor swimming pool. You MUST let us know ahead of time if you want to purchase the extra amenities, so that the Club can have your pass ready. You will pay us and we will contact the Club. If you are only interested in the beach , 2 swimming pools (Summit pool and Beach-front pool) and mini putt-putt course, you do NOT need to purchase an amenity pass.
