Sunset Dream - sunset view, short walk to beach

This home backs up onto the IC waterway and is about 100 yards from beach access. New bathrooms and floors in 2020! New interior paint in early 2022, new exterior paint in 2025 and new dishwasher and refrigerator in October 2022!

There is a king in the master, a twin bed with double in guest room, and a queen bed in third bedroom. Pullout queen sleeper sectional sofa in living room.

Two bedrooms each with own full bath (lower level) and half bath next to third bedroom (upstairs). Huge screened porch with views of both the ocean and the waterway.

Outdoor shower with both hot and cold water.

Driveway holds 3 cars comfortably but can squeeze 4-5 cars.

Short and easy walk across street (about 100 yards) to beach access #25 (no public parking and no condos on this part of the beach so not crowded).

🌀We highly recommend travel insurance, especially June - October, which is hurricane season. We aren’t able to refund based on weather. Look closely at the policy you purchase. Not all cover natural disasters

Family of 4 had a quick trip to the beach and enjoyed the house and location. The views were beautiful. Only negative thing we found was that the grill wasn’t really usable as we had hoped. We were able to pivot a dinner idea so that didn’t stop us.

We had a fantastic time at this beach house! Even with one rainy day, we had so much fun with the games provided. The beds were super comfortable, and the views of the sound were beautiful. The walk to the beach was short and lovely. A perfect spot for a relaxing getaway — we’d love to come back!

Great beach house!

This place was great for my family of five. Each person had their own bed and there are two showers with four sinks so that everyone could clean up quickly before going out at night. It was very easy to rinse the sand off, too, with a large outdoor shower and a hose on the entry-level deck. We had a great time and would stay here again.

80th birthday surprise

We loved our stay… morning coffee on the deck watching the traffic on the sound/intercoastal waterway…. Short walks to the beach… evenings on the deck watching the sunrise or passing storms…game nights on the large kitchen table…making dinner together in the kitchen… and the owner was great with communication! Thank you for the memories made!

Perfect Beach House!!!

The Luna Escape had everything my Family of 9 needed!!! The weather was not so great for a couple of days…we appreciated that there were a Huge collection of DVD’s and games. We had movie night every night. The panoramic views were spectacular. The location was great…away from the hustle and bustle of Town but close enough to walk or ride bikes. It was quiet and peaceful!! Can’t wait to return to Topsail !!

A very nice place at a great location near the beach

Although not impressive as your enter the driveway, this is a well-kept, older condominium with easy beach access and lovely views overlooking the wetlands and inland waterway sound. The house has two and a half baths, and would be ideal for a family with both young and teenage children (based on the bedroom/bathroom layout). Easy email communication with owner -- no surprises, everything was fine.

Pros & Cons for serious lookers!

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this house! The views are stunning! Pros: -They’ve renovated the two full baths. They are both gorgeous! Lots of storage in the bathrooms. - Washer & Dryer - Truly Stunning views of the sound from the back deck! - Short walk to the beach! Close enough to go back to the house for snacks. - super convenient to restaurants, grocery stores and surf city pier! - Very clean! - sliding doors along entire wall facing the sound. Great views 24/7! - King and Queen beds were very comfortable! - Nice screened porch for our one rainy day! - Outdoor shower was a real plus! -Keurig, blender, toaster oven, nice dinnerware! - Nice big table for everyone to eat together! - owner is super communicative! Cons - The appliances desperately in need of updating. Dishwasher is terrible. The front of the freezer door kept popping off. - Brew coffee pot is a tiny Mr. Coffee - Bedroom furniture needs updating. Seems like it is all from thrift stores or owners old furniture. All of it functions- just not pretty. - Not great bath towels-but they did have a lot of towels which was great! I’d bring my own next time. -Pillows are old and need replacing- bring your own! - comforters are not washed between guests. The first night we washed all of them. - Not a cooks kitchen!! We love to cook all our meals. There is very little counter space. I’d downscale the large table and put in an island (just a designers point of view!😜)inexpensive cookware, silverware is oddly tiny. Mishmash of cooking utensils, no large good knives. -no blow dryer -Both full baths are downstairs- one in the master and * one in the kids bunk room*. 1/2 bath upstairs next to the room with a queen. ***With some more upgrades this could be a top notch property!!****

The view is worth a million bucks!

Absolutely stunning view of the waterway from the upper deck. Perfect for sipping coffee every morning, watching the boats come in. View of the ocean from the kitchen window made doing the dishes not so bad after all! Short walk to the beach was very handy since we had 2 children with us. We walked to the beach every day. Beach access that doesn't have public parking was very nice! The access point to the beach felt more private, less traffic and we didn't feel like people were on top of us. There is a donut shop just a short trip up the road that makes fresh donuts while you wait, we loved that! There is also a little park right up the road that the kids really enjoyed. Location location location! Amy is super communicative, kept us informed of weather changes (we caught the tail end of hurricane Ian) Overall wonderful experience, the location is phenomenal and the house is very functional. Would highly recommend this house, and Amy as your host!

We love this house. This was our second stay over the last year. House is a short walk to the beach. Beautiful sound views and sunsets from the deck. House was extremely clean and nicely decorated. The floor plan worked well for us (2 adults, 2 kids).
