Spacious New House w/ Boat Slip:JULY 6-13 & 13-20 DISCOUNTED in Topsail Island

Our beautiful, spacious four bedroom, three bath beach house, Slip Away, is located on Topsail Island and provides the best of both worlds. A ninety second walk will take you to the ocean. A less than one minute walk in the other direction will lead you to the sound where you can watch spectacular sunsets. Bring your boat (30' limit) or jet ski and launch it using our private neighborhood boat ramp; then dock it for the duration of your stay in the nearby canal. Enjoy sunbathing on the upper deck of the house or read a favorite book in the shade of the lower deck.

The 2400 sq. ft. reverse floor plan includes cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors in the dining & kitchen areas, Berber carpet in the living room and bedrooms, and tile in the bathrooms. Lots of ceiling fans and windows provide beautiful views and breezes. There is a large deck on the back of the house on both levels. 

Avoid the hassles and heartaches of dealing with a commission based rental agent who is managing dozens if not hundreds of other properties. With Slip Away you speak directly with the owners who are responsive to your needs. References available upon request.

Slip Away has a reverse floor plan. Three bedrooms and two baths are located on the first floor as well as the laundry. The master bedroom has a queen bed, television, a large walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom with a shower, two sinks, and a separately enclosed toilet. The second bedroom has a set of bunk beds with a double mattress on the bottom and a twin mattress on the top and a walk-in closet. The third bedroom on this floor (between the master and the bunk bed room, the "middle" room) has a double bed and a TV. The bunk bed room and the middle room share the second bath on this floor which has a tub with shower and two sinks. The fourth bedroom is located on the second floor with the kitchen, dining, and living areas. It also has an en suite bathroom with a tub/shower and two sinks and a TV. All three bathrooms are very spacious with lots of vanity space, drawers, cabinets, and linen closets.

There are five TVs in the house: one in the living room and one in each bedroom.  There is a DVD player in the living room and in one of the first floor bedrooms.

Topsail Island is a family oriented beach. Visitors enjoy Topsail, returning year after year, because of the many miles of uncrowded sandy beaches. Perfect for swimming, walking, sunbathing, fishing, or simply relaxing. You will fall in love with the island. Our neighborhood is located on the southern end of Topsail. But don't limit yourself to the beach. Be sure to spend some time enjoying the sound where you will see interesting wildlife. 

Topsail Island is located between Morehead City and Wilmington. In addition to the beach activities available on the island, you will find many interesting activities along the coast of North Carolina. In the Wilmington area consider a visit to the WW II era USS Battleship North Carolina and the NC Aquarium. Both great fun for children of all ages. History buffs will enjoy visiting Ft. Fisher, Brunswick Town, and the historic homes of Wilmington including Orton Plantation. Traveling north to the Morehead area you can visit the NC Maritime Museum and the 2nd of the state's three aquariums. New Bern, NC's pre-colonial capital, is home to Tryon Palace and additional homes dating to the 1700's. Are you a lighthouse buff?
