Hidden treasure is an island style beach cottage situated amongst beautiful old oak trees. The house is located on a quite lane about a block long that has the ocean at one end and the sound at the other. Though we are on an interior lot, it is just steps (approximately 80 yards) to either the private beach access or to the small ramp that you have access to the sound from. The cottage itself was fully renovated in 2008-- the interior was gutted and the entire space was redone. It has anopen floor plan for the living and kitchen area and all areas look out to the trees. A screened porch and a rear deck can both be accessed from the main living area. A deck lines one side of the house that leads from the screened porch to the covered front porch. Sitting on the screened porch is like being in a tree house-- branches arch gracefully all around you providing a pathway for squirrels and birds to bound from one to another. You can hear the ocean most days from this spot-- it is relaxation at its best. The cottage is about 900 square feet but feels larger because of the open floor plan and raised ceiling height in the living room. The floors are tile through out-- which is easy to clean. The two bedrooms provide sleeping for four-- one has a queen bed the other has a full size. Again it is hard to describe how wonderful it feels waking up to the sound of birds and the ocean and seeing the tree branches surrounding you. Totally relaxing!! Hidden Treasure is perfect for a family getaway, a couples retreat, or girls week away.

    The house was great! The location is a dream. I’ve been staying in Topsail since I was a teen (decades) and this is the coziest house I’ve stayed in. The trees make you feel like you are somewhere else, but you are close to the ocean and sound. A great way to ring in the new year! The house was clean, beds were harder than we are used to, but we slept well. Highly recommend.

    This was our first trip to Topsail. This home is located in a quiet area on a dead end street before you get to the center town area. Location to the beach was good but a little further than we thought. We thought access was directly at end of street but that’s a private access. When you reach the end of the street you make a right and walk a block down, cross a busy street to the public access where there are stairs to navigate. Something to keep in mind if you have a wagon full of stuff for a beach day. We never could find any access at the end of the street for the sound side. Looked like it was all private property. There was 1 key that went to back door only. Not a big deal but it would be more convenient having a key that opens the side door which is the main door to enter the home. Inside the layout was good and the house was comfortable and clean. We did notice a lot of carpenter ants outside and the deck is in need of some work. There is a heavy comforter on the queen bed. I like sleeping with more than a sheet but it was too heavy and I woke up hot at night. The beach area is wonderful. Loved that we were able to take our dog on the beach. Overall we did have a good stay and I would recommend to others.

    Julie’s cottage is wonderful, nested in the oaks and in a perfect location. Her property feels like a home. It is clean and has all you need. The kitchen has quality cookware. Best treat is Scoops in Topsail Beach! Looking forward to next year.

    Property is located about 1/2 block from beach. Although at this time (Mar) the access was blocked due to some project on the beach, Property was comfortable, well lived in, does allow pets - so to be expected. Was surprised by last minute notification that I would need to bring towels and linens - or add’l charge. Owner was available by text - no issues with communication.

    We’ve been to Topsail Island, Carolina Beach and the Outer Banks dozens of times over the past 15 years. Nearly all were beachfront. This spot tops nearly all. Surrounded by oaks, yet 5 minutes by foot to the ocean, this makes you want to live at the beach rather than vacay. Highly recommended!

    Our family of four, and two German shepherds adored this property. We were so thankful to be able to bring our fur babies with us for their first beach trip. They loved it! The property is beautiful! The trees were gorgeous. Location is very close to the beach yet still secluded. We enjoyed the quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Will be back!!
