About this house rental
Located in the gated Queens Grant community, The Canal House is an immaculately clean and stylishly furnished 3 bed/3 bath townhome ready to host you and your family. Sandwiched between the Ocean and the Sound directly on a canal, you truly get the best of everything!
A twin bedroom and full bathroom with walk-in shower, along with a spacious living area, kitchen, deck, and sound access are the highlights of the first floor. As the end unit, the living area is full of great light and an unimpeded view directly out to Topsail Sound!
Up the stairs, you'll find the owner's suite with it's own deck and the same great view of Topsail Sound, as well as an en suite bathroom with walk-in dual head shower boasting a river rock floor. The 3rd bedroom includes a queen bed and en suite bathroom with a bathtub/shower combo.
Outdoors, you can enjoy the sun and views from the deck in the Owner's Suite, or sit, eat and relax in the shade of the deck on the first floor. A patio under the first floor deck includes more shaded seating, a porch swing, a grill and a drop-down table for outdoor eating...we recommend laying down some newspaper and dumping out a large low country boil or steam pot to enjoy with friends and family.
Steps from the deck/patio you'll have deep water sound access from the canal. The "day" docks are perfect for mooring your boat during your stay, while the floating dock offers a perfect spot to put in a kayak, canoe, or paddle board. If you bring a boat, Queens Grant has its own private boat ramp and trailer parking/storage that you are welcome to use during your stay. You can be out of your bed, on the boat tied in the canal, and on your way to your favorite fishing spot in a matter of minutes each morning.
A newly renovated pool and clubhouse just a few steps out the door provide a place to hangout for those less interested in the salt water adventures. Plenty of chairs and tables for enjoying a day by the pool, and a playground and basketball court are nearby for fun and games as well.
All of that, and the main attraction, the beach, is still just a few steps away. Load up our beach cart and head just past the pool to the Queens Grant beachfront property where you'll enjoy private access to the beach. Spend all day lounging in the sand and then come back home to the soundside for dinner and sunset views over the water. It's the best of both worlds!
We do have security cameras on the property, one located in the carport with a view of the driveway and street, and another on the back deck with a view of the sound and canal. The cameras are all aimed towards public areas of the neighborhood and do not view or monitor any spaces that our guests would be using privately. They are used only to check weather conditions and to confirm the presence of our cleaning and maintenance partners between guest visits.

What an amazing vacation at Canal House in Queens Grant! The house was super clean and spacious for our teen boys, my in-laws and us. The house is close enough to walk to the beach, but the sound side daily fishing (catch and release) for my boys was awesome! None of us used the community pool or other community amenities. The evening sunsets were spectacular, and we were able to see a few nights of the full, red moon. The boys and my hubby enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards. We ate out at Shaka Taco and Beach Shop and Grill, but cooked in the rest of the time. Plenty of markets for groceries and fishing supplies. Elisabeth was super helpful and quick to respond! It was a much needed, quiet, low-key vacation spot! Lots of fun and great memories were made at Canal House.💕

We had an incredible time at this home! From the moment we arrived, it was clear the host had thought of everything. The home was immaculately clean and well stocked, making us feel instantly at ease. The booking process was seamless, thanks to the host's quick and helpful response.
One of the highlights was being able to park our boat right outside in the canal. This convenience allowed us to hop on and explore the waterways and nearby islands with ease. The kayaks and paddle boards provided were a huge hit and added an adventurous element to our daily activities. We found ourselves exploring new islands and sandbars, creating unforgettable memories along the way.
A standout evening was when we used the seafood boil table for a classic low country boil. It was not only delicious but also a fun and interactive way to enjoy a meal together as a family.
Overall, this home and its perfect location provided everything we needed for a fantastic family vacation. Whether you're looking for relaxation on the water, fishing, playing on the beach, or adventures exploring nearby islands, this property delivers. It truly exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to return!

5.0 / 5.0
My family had a fantastic stay at this location. Easy walk to the pool and beach. Short drive or bike ride to South Topsail where there are restaurants, a pier, a skating rink, coffee shop and more. Queens Grant feels very safe and all the renters/owners we met were so kind.
The townhome is very well stocked. My husband didn’t stay the whole time and actually took some of the extra stuff we brought home. There are plenty of beach towels, kitchen utensils and cookware (we’ve all stayed at that place that considered cookware one pot and one pan), but not here. They had boogie boards, kayaks, and paddle boards to use. They also had baby gates which was helpful for keeping our dog on the patio while enjoying playing games or reading books on it. The place was just as described, quite possibly better. Very clean and well thought out.
Some of the places we visited that we enjoyed the most are Daily Grind (coffee, donuts, pastries), Santorinis (lasagna, calamari, chicken parm), and Surf City Pier (fishing, socialization, BLTs and breakfast burritos).
I do just want to make you aware that the stairs can be a lot especially the outdoor plus the indoor if you are in and out frequently. My mom hurt her knee shortly before the trip and ended up staying in the smaller room on the main floor to avoid having to do so many. Honestly though pretty much anything on Topsail Island has stairs so there is no real avoiding it. Wouldn’t keep us from returning.

Cheerful, clean, well-organized. Two miles from the shopping/dining area of the town of Topsail Beach. Very well outfitted and welcoming.

We stayed with two of my adult children and their dog and the house was the perfect size for our family. The view of the canal, sound, and beautiful houses greeted us every morning and was so relaxing to look at. The ocean was only a short walk across the street and we enjoyed shell and shark tooth hunting every day. The drive to Serenity point was very short and we went to the south end several times. We would definitely book this property again! My only request (and its a small one) would be a gate for the deck for the dog, or small children. We made a make shift one so he could enjoy being out with us unleashed when we sat at the table. Overall perfect vacation!

Elizabeth communicated with us incredibly well and everything was better than we expected. It was the perfect amount of space for our family (four adults, two children). We loved being on the canal and having very close beach access. We made good use of the kayaks and beach chairs Elizabeth offered as well! We will be back again!!

Great house! This lovely home has it all. Gracious, attentive hostess, Very clean, exceedingly well stocked home. Everyone from parents, kids and furry friends will find something to love. Owners have great beach and canal toys, paddleboards, boogie boards, kayaks that we all enjoyed. Also worth mentioning the bathrooms were all clean and fresh.
Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Loved it so much we plan on returning next year for longer.

We booked a last minute stay and we’re so fortunate to find the Canal House ! It was a perfect fit for me, my wife, our 3 teens and our dog. Everything was as described or better. Even the neighbors were great! The paddle boards were fun for us all. Elisabeth is an excellent communicator and was very prompt to get all of my questions answered. The space is well thought out and labels throughout were a nice touch. Oh and don’t miss a sunset during your vacation!

Our family had a blast at this property! The sunsets were amazing and the stargazing from the upper porch was magical. The proximity to the ocean was great and the pool was nice and clear. We hope to come back and actually stay a whole week!

4.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed our stay at The Canal House. Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful at responding to all my questions. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with just about everything you need. She even had a tea kettle which was awesome because I usually always have to bring my own. We had a great time having our meals out on the deck overlooking the canal and the sound. We took the kayaks out one time and saw dolphins only a few feet away from us! It was so amazing!! I loved being able to jump in the pool only a few steps away if I didn't feel like going to the beach. The reason I am rating this 4 star instead of 5 is because I had to fight with the blinds in the master bedroom every night. I am used to a dark room and since the blinds were broken it was hard to situate them where the street light from across the canal was not shining in my eyes all night. Needless to say I did not get much sleep the whole week. The mattress is not very comfortable as well. Other than that we enjoyed our stay very much!

Topsail Vacay...
This was out 9th year on Topsail Island and it was also our 25th anniversary so we stayed for 2 weeks at The Canal House. The house was clean and it was the perfect location for our group. We had access to the canal with our boat out back, the pool, and the beach-- nice options to accommodate everyone. The hosts were very timely in response to questions. We enjoyed our stay.

Had a great time in this clean townhouse - with every amenity necessary and even nice-to-haves like essential oils and a diffuser. Grateful to our hosts.

Location was perfect
The house was clean and well stocked. The location was perfect to catch the sunset over the sound at night and still have ocean views in the morning. We had the joy of dolphins in the sound several times during our stay and even saw them while kayaking to the beach across the sound. The hermit crabs at the sound side beach were a fun surprise! The dog friendly neighborhood and well placed waste bags and receptacles were a great convenience! Everyone in the neighborhood was so friendly and all of the dogs were well behaved! We had a couple of questions early on our stay and the owners were responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone wanting to experience the beach with their dogs and enjoy the quieter recreation available on the sound but yet close enough to get to the ocean in a 2 minute walk. A+ for sure

Great spot for young family
Short walk to the beach and access to the intercoastal from the backyard. Wife and kids liked using the community pool in the late afternoon.

Lovely townhouse on the sound
Great little place on the sound. Nice view and loved being able to kayak right out the back door. Easy to get to the beach! Pet friendly but be aware lots of steep steps. That was tough on my senior dog. Easy check in/out and responsive property manager.

Slice of Heaven
The perfect weekend getaway for our family of 5. Location was close enough to surf city yet far enough. Private beach access was perfect and sunsets at the end of the canal were beautiful. Kids enjoyed the house and the park as well. Ideal for families. Owners were so sweet and communication was great. Had lots of things most rentals do not and it was so clean! Can’t wait to return and make more memories.

Great weekend stay!
Very clean unit & the owners were responsive. They offered a lot of extra items that we have found are usually not included. Linens are a huge bonus, beach towels, paddle boards & kayaks are just a few. Will definitely stay again!

Relaxation at its best.
Very clean property! Was as advertised and more. Home was spacious for our family of 7! The views were great. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the upper deck most mornings. Having access to the paddle boards,, kayaks and the beach stuff was very nice. We all enjoyed fishing most days in the Sound from shore- caught various fish during our stay- even caught a crab! Having private beach access was great- beach was not crowded. Enjoyed a few nice sunsets from the point and were able to view dolphins a few times as well. Overall a very relaxing stay!
