PET POLICY:

  • No Dogs Allowed

Please review our Dog Policy before booking your vacation. 


 Don’t Throw it Away - We all buy more than we need when wecome to the beach for vacation ~ too much cereal, too many cookies and chips,and the list goes on. If you do not want to take it home or don’t have room to take it home, donate it to Share the Table, a food pantry in Surf City dedicated to helping food insufficient families in our community. All unopened items are needed and greatly appreciated as our neighbors continueto climb out of the pandemic and even in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. There is a crate labeled “Share the Table” in the entryway to the Shipwatch Villas office area. Place any items you have for donation in the crate, and they will be delivered to Share the Table for distribution to families. Thank you in advance.

Little Free Library is now located at the North Topsail Beach Park next to the Pavilion and in front of the playground. The library houses gently used books in case of bad weather (or a bad sunburn) or when you just want to stay inside and read. Feel free to take a book or two andreturn them when you are finished or, better yet, return a book you read that you are willing to share with others on the island. Books are of allgenres welcome, including children’s books. Books are changed out weekly. Happy reading!

For Beach Nourishment Updates, please visit the Town of North Topsail Beach's Facebook Page or Dune Renourishment Project website.


Don’t forget your linens! Unless otherwise indicated, linens are not provided during your stay. You are welcome to bring your own linens or we provide a linens rental service for your convenience.

Please note, our vacation homes do not have many of the consumable items in stock for guest use (i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc.). 

Review our list on How To Prepare for Your Vacation.

Please Note: 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 guaranteed.

This condo was so nice. The owners have been very thoughtful in how it is furnished. It was perfect for a family with all ages (baby-teens).

Oceanfront view amazing!
Everything was great! Clean, roomy, quiet, and kitchen has great glasses dishes and cookware and flatware. You do have to bring paper products, soap and dishwasher liquid. Also, towels and sheets were rented and they were adequate. Would stay there again.

Very appropriately named Almost Heaven
This is one of the nicest places I have stayed. It is very clean, beautifully and comfortably decorated, well stocked, and the view is great. I can't wait to go back.

Perfect property for our week so far.........
Everything we were hoping for in this unit. Cannot get over the space....large rooms, entry code ease, flooring so easy to clean, well appointed kitchen, very well insulated for sound, deck furniture very comfortable for great ocean view. The only down side is that the elevator on our side of the complex is down for repair (which is no one's fault, it happens) The exercise is good for all of us. Very happy here & will totally return. Also cannot say enough about Access Realty! A joy to work with.

Hidden Gem
Almost Heavan is the perfect name for this place! My family loved staying here for the week. The views are wonderful not only can you see the ocean, but you have a perfect view of the pool. Each day we spotted dolphins at least once from the balcony! The condo is adorably decorated and kid friendly in every aspect. We will be retuning in the fall. Can't wait!
