About this property

Mother Ocean, Paradise, Panoramic Ocean Views, Private Beach

“Mother Ocean” was named after the inspiration of the ocean and beaches at Topsail, and the life-long gifts that they pass on to those who travel here. The property is a portion of a family-owned tract that was acquired in 1907 by our great grandfather, which included approximately a mile of the beach extending south of the property. The oceanfront in the vicinity of the house and on adjacent properties is vacant, which affords beautiful unobstructed panoramic views, and a private beach front with direct private access. A deck is located atop the dune on the ocean side for relaxing, and beachfront viewing. Private access to the sound is also available for canoeing, kayaking or fishing...or just to sit at the picnic table and enjoy the sunset! The house includes three bedrooms and two full baths with an ocean side deck with swing for taking in the view, and a back screened porch with a fan and swing for a quiet secluded break in the action. The house sleeps nine comfortably in the bedrooms, and eleven including the day bed in the living area. Escape from your everyday grind, and come enjoy the paradise of Topsail Island at this truly unique home!!

Our 3rd visit to Mother Ocean
Our family loves to stay at Mother Ocean. There is plenty of space for everyone to be together and have their own space. We also love being so close to the beach!

A nice 3 day getaway at the Beach
Older property but clean and lots of space. Our pets came and we all enjoyed coming back to the Surf City area after 35+ yrs of not spending time at the coast. We traveled many places in those years. This property is great for a family to gather and relax. The kitchen is good for making food for meals and has all the major appliances. Will recommend to others.

We keep coming back
This was our third time in the same house. Sound side access, nearly ocean front with a simple stairway, a stocked kitchen and coffee maker leaves us satisfied every visit. 3 generations of a small family fill this house with laughter and happy memories.
