Enjoy the sound-side/intracoastal access for kayaking, fishing, and wildlife sightseeing, too.
Ground Level:
Upon arrival, you’ll immediately smell the salty air and hear the waves crashing. The townhome has covered parking for one small vehicle, with space for 2 more in the driveway.
Exclusive beach access is shared by the Shipwatch I Townhomes community. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the luxurious outdoor shower with hot and cold water or relax in the hammock. There’s also a community outdoor shower and hose near the boardwalk for rinsing your beach gear. As the townhome closest to the beach access, you’re just steps away from the shore.

Second Level: The second level is the heart of the home, with the kitchen, dining area, living room, a powder room, and two more decks.
• Kitchen: A fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a skylight makes cooking a breeze. There’s plenty of space to whip up meals with local ingredients.

Enjoyed our stay so much. The space was lovely and having the sound of the ocean right outside was great. House is clean, beautifully decorated and is in a quiet location.

Right on the ocean with access to the sound. Clean with everything we needed. Nice decor. Would love to go back.

Loved this townhome! The location is excellent - right on the beach, a quiet area with views of the ocean and ICW at the same time from the upstairs living space. You can tell the owners use the home, as well as rent it, because it is so comfortable with EVERYTHING you could possibly need for a vacay. The home is super clean, linens are pristine, washer and dryer provided are full size. Beach access, outdoor private shower, multiple decks, well equipped kitchen … all of these things are top notch!

We enjoyed our stay! Ronnie and Marie are excellent communicators and hosts. The location cannot be beat with the most gorgeous beach just a few steps away. We loved that the area is more on the quiet side, not party-oriented and we slept well every night in their comfortable bed with little to no noise from neighbors. The unit has a stocked kitchen with tons of cooking tools, so we cooked a lot and enjoyed the beautiful views from both sides! Also, check out Midgett & Sons Crab Company and Riverview Cafe in Sneads Ferry, they are close by.

We had a great time at Stella Maris. The location couldn’t be better. Truly just steps from the beach. Really convenient for our family. The decor is lovely. 4 balconies! Amazing outdoor shower! Loved that the linens and towels were provided. Nice perk to be able to walk to coffee and ice cream right up the beach and shelling was great in that area. So glad we were able to book this location this summer!

I can't say enough good things about this Ocean Front Getaway. We played in the surf during the day, stargazed at night, and everything in between. The property was clean and comfortable. The only regret we had is that we didn't book for longer. Ronnie and Marie's place is one of the best places we've booked so far. Thanks for the awesome stay!

Location on the beach can't get any closer! The outdoor shower was awesome! Everything about this house was amazing! Even the simple fact that we didn't have to go anywhere else for a key since it was a keyless entry with a code! We will beback for sure!

Our recent stay at the charming beachfront townhouse made for the absolute perfect anniversary mini getaway!
The location was perfect, close enough to anything we needed, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. We were treated to breathtaking views of the ocean from sunrise to sunset. The multiple balconies provided us with the best of both worlds: on one side, we marveled at the tranquil intercoastal waters, while on the other, we were mesmerized by the rolling waves, playful dolphin, fishing vessels,& the beautiful moon at night. It was a truly magical experience.
The townhouse itself was equally enchanting, with its cozy beachy interior. The fun outdoor shower added a playful touch to our beachside retreat. Inside, the master bedroom was a sanctuary of comfort & serenity, each night the smell of the salty air & the soothing sound of waves lulled us to sleep. We woke up refreshed & walked right out of our master suite to the beach for early morning treasure hunting & beautiful sunrises.
Perfect amenities & thoughtful touches enhanced our stay. The host's attention to detail was evident, from games to play on rainy evenings, binoculars, to fun cocktails serving pieces. They are prompt to reply & when asked gave recommendations for local dining & activities. We felt cared for & welcomed. Our stay was the perfect blend of romance, relaxation,& adventure. If you're looking for a dreamy coastal getaway you will find it at Stella Maris's charming oasis by the sea!

Perfect location for beach access. Would definitely stay here again. We were able to stay Saturday night, since we couldn't check-in until Sunday due to the tropical storm. Thanks for everything!

This was our third year here In North Topsail staying at this adorable, well equipped and wonderfully decorated townhome. We love staying here and the beach and convenience to walking on the beach makes it that much better. Again, 5 star place with great landlords. Thank you!

We spent a week at this gorgeous home and are already looking forward to our next trip. The location is fabulous: quiet neighborhood, a short walk to the beach, and close to the larger, more touristy Surf City, if that's you're thing. The hosts are amazing and responsive, and the home itself is perfect for smaller groups. I can't say enough about how great our experience was--for our host, thank you so much for sharing your home. If you're considering this one, it's absolutely worth it.

We loved our visit to Topsail. The listing was even more beautiful than the photos. Doesn’t get any better than sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean and reading a good book. Literally steps to the beach. We will definitely book with Anais again for future visits.

We really appreciated being SO close to the beach, especially since we have kids. The house appears fairly recently renovated which was nice. Amazing views of the ocean. We saw dolphins playing from the living room!
There is really no beach at all during high tide so plan shore time accordingly.
The only complaint we have is that one of the beds was not clean. Dirt and hair on the sheets from a previous guest. Thankfully there were spare sheets available.
The rental process was super easy.
We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to Topsail. We had a great weekend!

Great little beach get away! Property has all you need for a relaxing stay. Views and location are perfect. Only note would be it is a 1-1/2 bath not the 2.5 or 3 as advertised- as including outdoor shower as full bath is a bit reaching- but for the two of us it was perfect. Thanks for sharing your property.

Our son is currently stationed at Camp Geiger and when we learned that he would have a short liberty period over Christmas we decided to head down. The location is great…close to the camp but far enough to feel like you were away. The setting was first class. We watched dolphins play from the balcony and saw some beautiful sunsets. Everything was as described and we thoroughly enjoyed spending our time there with our family. Truly a home away from home.
10.0 / 10.0
This property was the perfect place for us to enjoy liberty time with our son. It was about 30 minutes from base- so perfect for getting him back and forth, but also far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Our family of four had a great stay on Topsail. So close to the beach, perfect for families with small children or a grandparent not wanting to walk over dunes or far out onto the beach - very accessible. Beautiful beach and we loved the Tutle Hospital tour while we were there.
