About this property

"Sunny Dayz" Dog Friendly OCEANFRONT Home - Topsail Island, NC

"Sunny Dayz," a charming, updated three bedroom, two bath oceanfront home located directly on the beaches of Topsail Island, is a popular vacation destination for many who seek fun in the sun on beautiful Topsail Island. In the carport, you'll find an access to a laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer(new in 2022).

Enter the house from the staircase located in the carport to the front door. Here, you enter the home directly into the living room. You'll find new flooring throughout the home added in 2023. The living room has a large L-shaped sectional, two arm chairs, an electric fireplace (added in 2022) and a flat screen TV for relaxing after a long day in the sun. Double sliding doors to the beach-front deck allow for sweeping views of the water right from the couch. Behind the living room lies a cozy kitchen (garbage disposal added in 2022) with a dining table perfect for six and two counter stools.

To the right of the front door bedrooms one and two are found. Bedroom one has a double bed while bedroom two has two twin beds and both bedrooms have flat screen TV's. Both bedrooms share a bathroom located in the hallway with a stand-up shower (renovated in 2023).

Hands down, the best feature of this house is the sweeping beachfront deck. The newly built deck stretches across the entire length of the house. A new dining table (added in 2022) is on the deck, perfect for an alfresco meal. There is a high boy table and four high boy chairs to enjoy the surrounding views of Topsail. Off to the side of the deck you'll find a gated access to a fenced side yard (added in 2022) that can also be accessed from the driveway, a perfect play area for pups. This special outdoor space allows for private access to the beach, ensuring that you are always just steps away from a fun filled day in the sun at "Sunny Dayz".

TOPSAIL ISLAND GENERAL INFO-
WiFi: WiFi signal strength is NOT guaranteed at your rental for remote work or remote learning. We are located on a barrier island and do not have cellular towers on the island. This, coupled with the increase of guests in our area, creates an inconsistent cellular signal that is outside of our control and therefore, compensation is NOT given.   

Beach Nourishment: Beach nourishment projects help preserve and protect Topsail Island’s shoreline. Most projects are scheduled annually between November and April and may involve large pipes on the beach, trucks moving sand, and other equipment to rebuild and maintain our dunes. Timelines and locations can shift without notice, and we are not always informed in advance. While we understand this may impact your beach experience, refunds or compensation will not be provided for disruptions related to beach nourishment. For the latest updates, we recommend checking the town websites for Topsail Beach, Surf City, or North Topsail Beach. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about potential beach impacts during your stay.

Water Pressure Notice: Please be aware that during popular rental dates, especially in the mornings and evenings, there may be temporary reductions in water pressure. This is a common occurrence across the island as many visitors are getting ready for the day or returning from the beach. We recommend planning showers and other water-related activities accordingly to avoid inconvenience.

Public Parking: The Town of Surf City enforces “Pay to Park” from March 1-Oct 31 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm in the Surf City Public Beach Access Parking Lots and other marked Public Parking Lots. The Town of North Topsail Beach will enforce “Pay to Park” from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM year-round. Onslow County operates three public parking areas/beach accesses within the Town of North Topsail Beach. To the best of our knowledge the county intends to continue operating these lots free of charge.

Leave No Trace: Topsail Island enforces a "Leave No Trace" policy in order to protect our shoreline, meaning you must remove all items, including tents and chairs, from the beach each day. Any items left behind are subject to theft, removal by the town, or possibility of being washed away by the ocean.

Turtle Nesting Season: From May to October, Topsail Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles. Be mindful of marked nests, limit oceanside deck lights, and follow local guidelines to protect them.

Great Beachfront Property

This made for a great beach getaway for the Holidays. Convenient beachfront access, and the house was bright, clean, and cheerful. The reservation and property management process could have been clearer. They sent too many different e-mails and it was difficult to keep track of them. A single summary e-mail with links would have been sufficient and a lot easier to keep up with. As it was it turned out we did not request linens and pay our pet fee up front, but it wasn't explicitly clear how to do so. So we had to take care of those when we arrived. Clearer communication from the property manager would have made that easier. The property manager was responsive via text regarding a small repair that needed to be done when we were in the home, and the check-in and check-out procedures were clearly explained.

Great dog-friendly property

We spent four days here in the early season for a short vacation break. We brought along our youngest golden retriever, who had never been to the beach before. She loved the place at least as much as we did. The ocean side deck is well secured so the dog could be put out there watching people, crashing waves, birds, and of course other dogs while being secure with relatively little supervision. A side gate opens to a stairs that lead to the fully fenced side yard where there's some grass, along with a poop bucket and proper scooper. The house is quiet, so relatively few loud noise disturbed the dog. Our dog had a great time. And so did we despite some pretty chilly weather. All in all, a relaxing few days spent here. Highly recommended.

Perfect Getaway Spot

This home is perfect for easy relaxing as the ocean is steps from the back deck. The home is clean and very functional for a family. Great for pets as there is a fenced in side yard that is easy to access. Close to great restaurants. Just all around an excellent place to stay!

Great location at a solid price

Great location but beware this is not the typical VRBO more of a beach rental which the realty company tells you in communication but it isn’t clear in the ad. Having used VRBO in the past there were some expectations of VRBO “style” but some of the things expected of a VRBO aren’t there (linens and towels garbage bags things like that) and have to be purchased or rented. Again not a huge deal especially in Dec but may figure in decision making. May be easier to just use the realty company Access Realty who were easy to communicate with and skip the VRBO website if you’d are ok with beach rental style Other than that it’s great. Oceanfront is never bad and the place will need some updates in the bathrooms but the kitchen is new and very nice. All said recommend this place with the VRBO caveat. Now that we know we would have no issues renting again. Todd and Stephanie

Great location beautiful view

My family of 6 stayed here and had a great time. Nice kitchen with beautiful views. Still needs some updating The master bedroom was 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. Had to rent a AC unit to cool the room. The mattress need to be replaced also. Once these things have been completed I would definitely come back.

This was a really wonderful place to enjoy with my children and our pup! The location is ideal, it had everything we needed and the enclosed deck was a super bonus for a dog owner. We hope to be back soon.

Great ocean-front house

Exactly as we expected, you step off your deck onto the beach. Or you can watch the ocean from inside the house. VERY relaxing and exactly what we had hoped for.

Dirty, not well kept, felt like a college dorm room

I have never been disappointed with a beach house until this one. The mattresses and pillows were old and uncomfortable so we ended our vacation more tired than we started. The place smelled like smoke. It was not clean. It is right beside a public beach access which ensures the only crowd on a relatively calm beach is directly in front of the house. That also means there is more litter in front of the house from the heavy traffic. We knew from the rental agreement that many of the extras such as a grill, sheets, etc, had to be rented but this place lacked everything. On the bright side it did have a nice deck and even a disappointing house on the beach is still on the beach.

The best part is the deck and stairs that drop right into the sand!

The house itself has pros and cons. My breakdown is below. Coming from someone not accustomed to beach life I would say this house was very good for my family of three for just a few days. Our favorite things was the access to the beach and the location of the house. Before we return or recommend this house to someone else I would expect to see some updates and the price not to rise because of it. Pros are there is cable on a wide screen, the large sliding doors make a great view of the water, the deck is in good shape with plenty of chairs and hose/shower convenient for rinsing off sand. Love the dunes that meet the deck for privacy and visual appeal when looking out over the deck. The master bath has nice tile but grout needs updating and the build up around the sink faucet could have been scrubbed. Loved master bedroom being able to hear and see the ocean. Nice size washer and dryer in good condition. Carpet and hard flooring is good. Cons would be the kitchen and dining area needs renovated. The fridge, sink and oven are fine/clean appliances but the cabinets aren’t constructed to the ceiling, the dining furniture is super dated. There’s marks on the kitchen flooring and under the rug. Lamp shades are worn. The couch is an appropriate fish pattern but I was Leary as to the cleanliness. The other two bedrooms don’t have a view of the ocean. To access the washer/dryer you have to go outside. The water stains on the ceilings lead me to believe the roof needs work. A maintenance guy even stopped by to fix a leak (dripped from master bed closet). You can see some roof shingles are missing or needing replaced. The curtain covering the master door is hung slanted. The door itself needs replaced - not in the track properly. I truly believe this property could be fantastic if it could just receive proper updates and attention to detail. Perhaps a binder on the table that welcomes guests and makes suggestions on where to eat, family things to do etc. Email is great but Could be taken to the next level of professionalism.

Great location and beach access! House needs a little help

The beach access and deck were definitely the perk of this property! We loved sitting out on the deck and being right on the beach. Access Realty was great to work with. I can't give it 5 stars because the house needs some help with maintenance/updates for the price we paid (for example shower door coming off rail, kitchen cupboard missing screw, broken bed post in bedroom, etc). There was nothing major that affected our vacation but a lot of little things that need update for the high cost of this rental! Would consider renting this property again if updates/maintenance issues addressed.
