About the property

Turnkey 6BR Coastal Retreat with Dock, Pool & Deeded Ocean Access

This purpose-built coastal home delivers uncompromising water views and turnkey rental performance. Completed in December 2022 and offered fully furnished, the property presents 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across ~2,482 square feet, centered on a top-floor living space that frames expansive marsh, ICW and ocean views. A private four-stop elevator connects every level for effortless access, and durable LVP flooring throughout makes the home low-maintenance and guest-ready.

The open-concept top floor is the gathering hub — a well-appointed kitchen with granite counters and generous seating opens to generous living areas and multiple Trex decks oriented to capture the horizon. The primary suite is roomy, with an ensuite that includes dual vanities and a tiled walk-in shower. Outdoor living is comprehensive: expansive Trex decking, a heated pool at grade level, a six-person hot tub on the first living level, a fire pit, dedicated putting green and an outdoor shower — features that elevate nightly rates and guest reviews.

This listing includes a marsh-front parcel with a private dock for paddle sports and small-boat access, plus the lot across the street (1104 New River Inlet) that carries a recorded easement preserving oceanfront access options. Under-house covered parking and abundant on-site spaces make arrivals and guest turnover seamless for both owners and property managers. The seller reports in excess of $120,000 gross rental income last year, reflecting strong seasonal demand for turnkey, amenity-rich properties on Topsail Island.

Strategically sited in North Topsail Beach, this residence blends investor appeal with lifestyle — immediate rental cash flow, modern construction quality and exceptional long-term scarcity value from island ocean access. Bring your buyers who want an operational coastal asset with minimal deferred maintenance and powerful guest appeal.

Editorial market perspective

Topsail Island continues to be a high-demand micro-market for second homes and short-term rentals. Inventory remains constrained relative to buyer interest, particularly for turnkey, newer construction homes with deeded access and robust amenity sets. Median single-family pricing on the island is elevated compared to inland Onslow County averages, and well-maintained turnkey rentals frequently out-perform the local median in both price and absorption. Days on market can compress for well-marketed coastal listings, and purchasers motivated by rental cash flow will find attractive gross yields here (seller-reported ~8% gross). Buyers should account for seasonal vacancy, flood insurance costs and island maintenance when underwriting. For sellers, professionally staged, fully furnished homes with turnkey management often command premium pricing and quicker transactions.
