Elegant oceanside house on a gorgeous ocean front property in upscale North Topsail, just a short driving distance from Surf City and Sneads Ferry. This is one of the most exclusive and serene locations on the island. It is part of a private luxury community that is not open to public access. This particular unit is an end unit, and a taller high rise which gives you breathtaking views. This home locations is considered “Oceanfront B” which means it sits on an oceanfront property (with no roads to cross) but behind another home. It is part of a small, upscale, intimate community that will make it easy for children, teens, and adults to meet other families vacationing in the area, and make friendships that can last a lifetime.This part of the beach is secluded and quiet, giving you and your family excellent beach access. The beach access for the community is directly in front of this home as it the large community pool. The beach itself is very clean, and offers plenty of space for you and your family to spread out and relax by the sea. There are breathtaking beach views from both the front and back decks, allowing you amazing views of both the sunrise over the ocean and sunset over the sound. (See photos) You can actually see the waves from the living area, and from the kitchen while eating or cooking, or even while enjoying an evening in the hottub on the top balcony. You can even see the sun rise over the ocean while lying in your comfortable oceanfront bedroom, or relaxing on any of the 6 private balconies. Four of the 6 are private for individual bedrooms. Not only is this home furnished for supreme comfort, it is spacious and is decorated to make you feel completely at ease and relaxed from the moment you walk in. We made this our home away from home and it is decorated that way. The high-top resin deck chairs make sitting on the deck like sitting on a cruise ship and the views are just what you need to relax and unwind. A centralized elevator makes it easy for guests to manage luggage and groceries or move from one floor to the next. The property has an enormous, oceanfront community pool reserved for community members only, and sits on a private and secluded section of North Topsail Beach. The home has its own private parking and beach access (no streets to cross of course, because you are on an oceanfront lot already).

It features top-of-the-line appliances, furniture, and stunning upgraded accents. It is tastefully decorated and features quality fixtures and flooring. There is a well-appointed kitchen and comfortable furniture throughout the home. You will be amazed at the quality of the granite and tilework (many upgrades that are definitely not typical in a rental home!).The home has WiFi (wireless internet), 7 TVs, including one personal television per bedroom, and a Blue Ray DVD in the main living area. Two home office set-ups are provided in the two large oceanfront master bedrooms. Each has a computer desk, large screen computer monitor and a superior comfort computer chair provided for the convenience of remote workers and digital learners. Sleeping accommodations include 3 king beds, 2 queen beds, and custom-built Twin XL over Queen bunk bed.Topsail is a great place for families and fun. Enjoy quiet relaxation of the ocean breeze, watching the surf from the comfy high-top resin deck chairs or a moonlit walk on the beach. You can visit one of several the local golf courses for a quick round of golf, or the nearby marina for watersport rentals, or charter a deep-sea fishing expedition. The home has a private access to the beach directly in front of your door. This access is for villas drive rentals only. Enjoy watching the children play on the beach right from your deck or fish off the beaches right in front of your home. This property is also walking distance from the North Topsail Fishing Pier where you can fish for Spanish Mackerel, Spot, Blues, or many more. This pier is also a great place for an evening stroll with an incredible view or even a quick dinner at Seaview Pier Restaurant. There is also oceanfront dining within walking distance at “Splash by the Sea” at Villa Capriati (next door).Enjoy walking for literally miles on clean white beaches looking for prehistoric sharks teeth (Topsail is one of the few areas on the east coast where they are easily found) or gather shells or 'sea beans' (small polished pebbles) for your collection. Visit the famous Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center here in Surf City (one of the only hospitals of its kind on the East Coast) or stop at one of our local shops and pick up some fresh homemade fudge, pies or seafood.Looking to accommodate a large group?

We strive to provide an exceptional guest experience focusing our efforts on cleanliness, service, and providing everything you need to have an easy and enjoyable getaway.We bought this house because we feel like we have a private beach. There is an empty lot to our left, and our right neighbors have such a large home, they had to build further back. We hardly see people at the end of this quiet island, and we love that added feeling of being by ourselves. We hope you have the BEST time at the Seaside Stargazer, our slice of heaven!**Ring cameras: 1 front door, (to allow in maintenance personnel and monitor deliveries) 1 oceanside (crows nest) to watch for storms, and 1 under the lowest deck (facing the dune and decking to check on beach erosion, last fall we had posts dangling out of the sand
