What a great right on-the-beach cottage with 3 bedrooms. You step down from the deck and you are on the dunes. This is cute duplex that when you step down from the deck, you are on the beach. And your pet will love being on vacation with you.

Imagine shrimp on the grill, kids on the beach, and a cold beverage in your hand as you sit on the deck above the dunes. The wide beach invites you to stay all day long.

Amazing Grace is BEACH FRONT. It is not a piano lot, or a view lot between two houses, or in a condominium complex. It is a real BEACH FRONT cottage duplex. Five steps down to the beach or simple sit on a deck just above the dunes.

Do you like to bike or run There is a bike shoulder on the main road the entire way from the north to south. The island is 26 miles long, so you can get a good work out.

You can even bike for fun (like I do). Recently I rode my bike to the south end, and the smell of Jasmin and ocean air was unbelievable. I stopped on the far south point of the island and walked around the beach on the undeveloped point. I then rode back to Topsail Beach city hall and said hi to the ladies who worked there. (They had kindly sent me an invitation to pay real estate tax in their city even though my house is not in their city. I graciously declined :-) but they were very pleasant!) I then rode back to Surf City and promptly bought an ice cream cone at DQ just to make sure I hadn't burnt off too many calories, then leisurely rode back to the beach house.

Believe me, this place is fun.

And I haven't even told you about Shuckin' Shak, on the mainland side and it's fresh lightly fried grouper fingers, or about Sears Landing and its award winning clam chowder made with sherry, or Daddy Mac's - a 2nd floor restaurant overlooking the beach. Oh, and how about the fresh fish market (I mean right off the boat) behind the Crab Pot where you can get shrimp, flounder, shark or whatever they have been catching and take it back and grill it.

Or you can play 18 holes at Coastal Carolina's only four-star golf course, North Shore Golf and Ocean Club (as per Golf Digest). Perhaps you would like to deep sea or surf fish...or just lie on the beach. And did we mention riding jet skis on the nearby sound

WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY REPEAT GUESTS Well, I let one of our guests tell you:

'We absolutely loved our stay at Amazing Grace. The property was very clean and well maintained. The double balcony views were spectacular. We're so glad we found this place and will definitely be staying here again in the future.'
Gregory, Apex, NC

Wow, it is beautiful at the beach! This is right on the beach, not across the street, or a beach view, or take a trail to the beach.

No, when you step down from the deck at Amazing Grace beach house, you are on the beach!

COME STAY WITH US AND FIND OUT WHY SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE IT:

We have been coming to North Topsail for over 10 years. Last year we stayed at Amazing Grace for a week in July. It was the most pleasant of all the duplexes we have rented.

Amazing Grace is truly a great find! The location is gorgeous, just steps from a quiet spot on the beach, and you can hear the ocean from every room in the house. We found ourselves wanting for nothing during our stay, with the exception of another week!
Brenda, Alexandria, VA

We stayed in Amazing Grace for a week with our daughter's family - Our close friends stayed in the duplex beside us with their son's family (same owner) - So our children and grandchildren spent a week becoming closer friends. This is the 2nd time we have taken a family vacation at the beach and Amazing Grace was the perfect place to stay. It was nicer than the description online and the way it is laid out is wonderful for a family trip. We actually cooked a pig underneath the carport and invited friends and family down for the day on Wednesday. The view was awesome! I took many pictures of beautiful sun rises, sun sets, rainbows, dolphins swimming by and my grandchildren enjoying the beach! The house was in awesome shape and everything in it worked as it should. The owner was awesome - answered all our questions and made us feel like our trip and the enjoyment of it was a priority of his. I recommend Amazing Grace to anyone who enjoys a week at the beach and I hope to stay again every summer.
Nannita, Beautancus, NC

We spent 4th of July at Amazing Grace and it was wonderful! The house was very comfortable. We stayed with 4 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of room! The kitchen is well stocked with appliances/utensils and it was great to have a washer/dryer for all of the sandy towels!! The owner is very responsive and easy to communicate with . . . hopefully this will become an annual vacation for our family!
Melissa, Avon, IN

We had a wonderful stay at the beach house!!! We spent hours sitting on the deck… and my husband and I loved to wake up and have this view over the ocean. The kids enjoyed running back and forth to the beach.
So thank you very much for having us. We are thinking about coming back next year!

    We loved Amazing Grace! The duplex was quiet even with neighboring renters who could not be heard. It was wonderful to just wake up and see the sunrise from the decks, walk right into the sand, and enjoy the comfort of the home. Spacious and adequate for our needs. Owner was responsive when we had a question and eager to learn about our stay. We have referred Amazing Grace to our neighbors and friends and hope to be back next year.

    We were tired of the condo - resort experience and wanted easy access to the beach. This place’s location didn’t disappoint. Host’s restaurant recommendations were spot on. Bring flashlights for night time beach fun. Perfect set up for the dog.

    This place is in the perfect spot right on the beach! The view was absolutely beautiful, and we loved how close we were to the water—it never felt crowded. The owners were wonderful to work with and always quick to communicate. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, they checked in to make sure everything was just right. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    The property manager was very responsive and kind. The beds were comfortable and the view from every floor in the house was stunning. The house was pet and kid friendly. The sunrises were absolutely stunning and there were so many stars due to limited light pollution. Definitely would recommend and will stay again one day soon.

    This was an amazing place to watch incredible sunrises and sunsets and dolphins … it is as close to the ocean as u can get … sleeping with the waves crashing outside your windows … and yes u can still hear them crashing! Such a great space not overcrowded with weird furniture.. I come with dog crate, beds and yoga mats so extra space is great and this place delivers! I also travel with extra laundry soap and dishwasher soap and toilet paper but here there was a great supply ( instead of just one pod for each) eliminating the need to run out and get supplies.. so whether this is the owner or a pay it forward deal .. I kept it going so great to hv stuff when u land! The owner steve was very communicative and helpful… appreciate the details as my gps did try to bring me a few doors down .. thanks steve!

    Our stay was everything we dreamt of! From lying on the master bed with the door open listening to the waves crash snd watch the sun rise to having a direct access to the beach right off the balcony. Absolutely amazing! They had the place very well stocked with lots of extras! Also host was very easy to communicate with and quick to reply.

    This is a comfortable home right on the beach. As other reviews have noted, it could use some updating. However we were looking for something affordable on the beach and this place delivered. There are ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and gorgeous views of the ocean from the decks. Would definitely return if this place was closer to home.

    We booked amazing Grace for our summer vacation. Great vacation home love the location. Beach right in front house was great beds were comfortable. Anything I needed. Steve was on top of easy communication with him. Definitely recommend staying with any , Home that Steve owns . We will definitely be in touch with him again for future vacation homes in that area. Probably stay at amazing Grace again. Probably one of the best homes we have stayed in and we book a house every year since 2008 somewhere Steve is top-notch definitely give five stars. If there were a 10 star we would give that.
