About this house rental

Fully renovated and thoughtfully designed oceanfront home in North Topsail Beach, Steps To The Sea is offered by seasoned 5-star vacation rental owners/hosts. This 4 BR/3 BA home sleeps a max. of eight people. It has a private walkway leading directly to the sand. We provide everything you'll need for a relaxing vacation. Linens, towels (beach towels too), trash bags, starter paper products, beach chairs, a cooler, a sun canopy, etc. The kitchen is fully stocked, and we have floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets for your food storage, as well as a pantry closet for heavy items (cases of soda, water, etc.).

The home is two stories. The first level has an oceanfront king bedroom with ensuite bath (shower), an oceanfront queen bedroom and a bunk room that share a full bathroom with tub/shower combo. The washer/dryer is located on this level. The second level features the living area, open kitchen with huge dining island with seating for 8, a 65" TV, a full bath with shower, and an oceanfront king bedroom. All three oceanfront bedrooms have ocean views and sliders to the decks. The king and queen beds feature premium mattresses by Serta iComfort. The bunk beds feature memory foam mattresses.

We have been hosting happy vacationers since 2012 in Tennessee and Florida, 2023 was our first year hosting on Topsail Island. We are in a fantastic location, a bit north of Surf City, but south of the N. Topsail bridge leading to Sneads Ferry. Our beach is not public, so it's rarely crowded. We enjoy ample sand at both low and high tides. We have a shower on the walkover to rinse off, and a fully enclosed outdoor shower on the ground level. If you're familiar with the area, for reference, we are just a few minutes' walk from Andrew's Produce!

This home is dog friendly (with prior approval), for one dog under 50 pounds. Due to insurance restrictions, we can accept adult dogs only (over one year), and your dog must be housebroken and crate trained, and we require crating when your dog is left alone. We have a large crate for your convenience. We also offer an enclosed fenced area at the back of the home with dog turf. Feel free to message us for full details about our dog policy.

We are committed to providing our guests with all the comforts of home, and we feel confident that you'll be blown away by all of the extras and special touches we provide. We have been hosting since 2012, and have rentals in the Smoky Mountains, and in SW Florida in a quaint small town called Manasota Key (Englewood, FL). We also just completed the renovation of a small sound side home just a few doors up from Steps To The Sea. It's called Steps To The Sound, is 2 BR/2BA, sleeps a max. of four, and has a brand new private dock over the sound. It's just across the street from the beach access.

Guests acknowledge there is a RING floodlight camera on the entry/driveway area for security purposes only. **THE CONTENT ABOVE IS PROVIDED BY THE OWNER/MANAGER. ANYTHING BELOW THIS MESSAGE IS AUTOGENERATED BY VRBO AND MAY NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT AMENITIES AVAILABLE AT THIS PROPERTY.**

We stayed for 7 nights over 4th of July. House is newly remodeled and updated in everyway. The interior is nicely decorated and the host has thought of everything you need for a stay away. We really appreciated not having to bring beach gear or beach towels and having it all available. We also appreciated all the amenities and perfectly stocked home, no extra trips to the store for anything forgotten, Michelle already thought of it and had an extra supply. Beds were very comfortable and house was very comfortable overall with the beach just a walk down the stairway and out to the ocean. Our family really enjoyed being together here for a few days and would look forward to staying again.

House was beautiful, plenty of room, and 3 bathrooms was a plus!! Everything you need and more as far as towels, toiletries etc. Cleaning staff needs to pay a little more attention to under beds and kitchen table. Being pet friendly, hair flew out as soon as we turned on the fans. We did not bring a pet. Would absolutely stay again!

This beautiful beach front home exceeded our expectations in every way. Pet-friendly homes often look worn or have cheap furnishing, but Steps By the Sea was exceptional. It was super clean, beautifully decorated and obvious that no expense was spared in the recent remodel. We loved the furniture, full size modern appliances, kitchen cabinets, dishes, cooking utensils, countertops, bathroom fixtures, vanities, tile work, flooring, etc.. Attention to detail in furnishings was amazing...motion-detector nightlights, numerous electrical outlets, plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, sun canopy, beach toys, dog pen, deck chairs and tables, etc.. They thought of everything! Wish we could have stayed longer!

This place was just as described and then some. The house was lovely, and all of the amenities were thoughtfully provided. Great linens, lots of towels, plenty of seating, a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and plenty of porch perches for enjoying the day off of the sand while still being close enough to hear the sound of the surf. The host was very responsive to all questions, and we were so glad that we stayed here. Would recommend to others without hesitation!

This has been the best home I have ever stayed in while on vacation. I wasn’t walking into to a house that I had to prepare for my family. All linens and towels were supplied and I was blown away by the quality. I can’t talk about the kitchen enough….. there was NOTHING missing!!!! Any utensil, bowl, pot or pan that you needed was supplied. This home even had a spice drawer with Vanilla I might add. Pleasantly surprised!!!! Literally we needed nothing. There were beach chairs, towels, games and boogey boards for the kids in the storage room under the house. I can't forget to mention all the laundry and dishwasher supplies are provided as well. BUT…… MOST IMPORTANTLY….this house was gorgeous!!! An amazing island in the kitchen that allowed all my family to gather together at dinner time and game time, which by the way, games are also provided. There was shiplap throughout the house and the decor was simply phenomenal. Absolutely stunning!!!! All of these details when combined together is what brings this place to life. Its no longer a house….this is welcoming home! Well done Michelle!!!!

The first impression upon entering Steps to the Sea is it is newly renovated and very tastefully decorated. It has a private boardwalk directly to the beach and a convenient outdoor shower to rinse the sand off. This kept most of the sand out of the house... a plus! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with including beaters to make a birthday cake. The ocean was a lovely green color and the water was warm. The sand was soft but also firm close to the ocean which made for beautiful walks on the beach at sunrise. The house also accommodated our pet English Bulldog beautifully. We had a great family vacation at this property overall!

We had a wonderful stay and couldn't have felt more at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with absolutely every utensil, pot and pan we could have needed. There was a great assortment beach items including beach toys, towels, chairs, and a sun shade. The house was very clean and well appointed. The owner is communicative and pleasant to work with. Book with confidence!

We have been renting homes at Topsail Beach for over 20 years and we have never been to home that anticipated our every need and exceeded our expectations over and over! Steps to the Sea looks just as beautiful as the photos. The home is exceptionally clean and very well appointed with high quality items. From the pots & pans, knives, spices, charging blocks, paper products… luxurious towels and bedding, and everything you need for the beach! You could literally show up with your suitcase and a cooler and be set! Michelle was incredibly responsive and, friendly, and helpful. We will definitely be back to Steps to the Sea! We were very sad to leave.

This home has it all! The location is perfect, close to Surf City, but with quiet, private beach space that's never crowded. The home is beautifully designed, and filled with thoughtful touches that make you feel at home. The beds are comfortable and the towels are soft, which is a welcome change from the homes that offer rental linens. The kitchen has everything you'll need to cook your favorite meals while looking out over the ocean. There is a large collection of card, dice and board games, suitable for all ages. The large kitchen island is the perfect spot for family meals or game night. The host has provided everything you'll need for the beach (chairs, sun shade, cooler, etc.) The home is just a few doors up from Andrew's Produce stand, so a quick walk for fresh veggies, fruit, baked goods and homemade ice cream was a nice bonus. If I could rate this home with more than 5 stars, I would! I highly recommend this lovely home for a perfect Topsail Island vacation.

I could go on and on…you will not be disappointed with your stay here!
