'The best view I have ever seen on the Island.' Welcome to How Sweet the Sound' where you can truly have it all! Why settle for just the beach when you can have boating, fishing, a pool and hot tub, basketball court and more right at the house This brand new deep-water sound-front property features an elevator, and is nearly completely surrounded by water with stunning panoramic views!

We also have an additional property should you need more room than just this house! Please see listing number 601083!

This stylishly fun 2100 sq. foot duplex house is located in Topsail Beach on the water of Banks Channel in the private gated community of Queens Grant. Unlike other houses that only offer the beach, at How Sweet the Sound there are unlimited things to do. Choose to spend your days by walking to the never crowded beach through the private access, only 600 feet away, bring your boat, jet skis, kayaks, and paddle boards and spend the day on the water easily accessed through the private boat launch and docks with immediate access to deep water, the inter-coastal waterway, and the ocean. You can keep your boat at the dock yards away from the house for your whole stay! Choose to soak up some rays at the huge pool (open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day). Catch your own dinner! There is no need to go to the pier since you can fish, crab, and shrimp right from the house and clean your catch at the fish cleaning sink in the neighborhood! Have a picnic at the community shelter or play basketball on the neighborhood court. You won't find a deck with a better view or closer to the water on the island than those at 'How Sweet the Sound'.

Spend your evenings watching the dolphin jump and boats go by as the sun sets over the water directly off the decks. Being nearly completely surrounded by water, this house is very quiet and private. There is no road traffic to be heard and the most noise you will hear is the occasional fish jumping, Osprey calling from the nest on the channel marker not far away, or occasional fishing boat passing by. Finish off your evening by watching a movie on the 55 inch Smart HD TV. There is high speed wifi throughout the house.

About the house: This reverse floor plan custom house was furnished by a professional interior decorator, and is perhaps the most breathtaking house on the island. The house is on the deep water sound and has some of the best fishing on the island right from the lawn at the house. The ground level features a carport for two vehicles with additional private parking in the front of the house. There is a large storage closet for your bikes, beach, and fishing gear for the fresh catch you just reeled in from the yard! There is also an outside shower with hot and cold water. A wet weather entry leads inside the ground level which features a foyer and the elevator. No need to lug suitcases and bags of groceries up multiple flights of stairs, just stick them in the interior elevator and you are all set! This is a great asset for elderly guests.

The second floor features three bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom has a king size bed, walk in closet, 40 inch LED TV, walk out deck (featuring a hammock chair) overlooking the water, and has unspoiled water views out of its windows. There is nothing better than opening your eyes in the morning and seeing the water shimmering a few feet away outside your window. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, access to the deck overlooking the water, walk in closet, and 40 inch LED TV. The third bedroom has a bunk bed (twin over full) with an extra full size mattresses stored under the beds and a 40 inch LED TV.

The top floor features vaulted ceilings, breathtaking decorations, a two seat bistro table, and a fresh, contemporary kitchen with a large 3-seat bar, separate wine and beer fridge, dining room table for 6, couches (one pullout Queen sleeper), arm chairs, reading area, games, 55 inch Smart LED HD TV and water views, views, views!
Bed and bath linens are provided.
Sorry, NO PETS ALLOWED.

About the Area: There are several highly-rated golf courses within minutes from the house, off-shore and in-shore fishing charters less than a mile away, both gourmet and family style restaurants, mini-golf, shopping, party boats, grocery stores, churches, and so much more all immediately accessible.

    Amazing view from this unit. We were able to bring our boat and enjoy the waterway. House was very clean and perfect for a quick getaway. Would definitely stay here again!

    Beautifully decorated, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts were very responsive to questions and sending someone when the outdoor shower didn’t function. The most gorgeous view of any beach house we have ever stayed in. Teen boys enjoyed fishing and caught sea bass and a sting ray right from the yard. Very short walk to the beach. Pool and hot tub were clean and not crowded either. We stayed during the lead up to the 4th of July holiday and we were so pleased with how quiet and uncrowded the beaches were. 5 stars, will definitely stay again if we head back to Topsail.

    Third year at How Sweet the Sound and it was the best yet. Lots of water time via kayaks and wading in the ocean not to mention all the fishing as there are great charters to consider as well as water tours. Great restaurants including the new one we found Splash by the Sea. Being directly water (Sound) front makes even lazy time magnificent.

    Excellent property. Quiet neighborhood. Great location, just a short drive to the tourist area but far enough where the beach was never busy. Fully stocked house and great communication with owners. Would definitely return!

    This was our first trip to Topsail Beach. We felt like we found the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood! It had everything our family wanted!! The house was spacious and comfortable! The view of the intercoastal and west to the sunset was AMAZING!! We took advantage off the concrete basketball court for some family friendly 2vs2 and then cooled off in the pool. Beach access was a quick walk across the road for playing in the waves and bocce ball on the beach. We also really enjoyed our visit to the Topsail Museum called Missiles and more. So much interesting history on the island. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the free museum! We truly had it all and plan on returning to this home again!

    We were impressed with the property overall. The amount of room on the top floor great for families. The elevator certainly helps for anyone with physical challenges. Furniture is a little worn in the living and dining room but beautifully decorated. Top kitchen appliances and TVs in every room. Multiple balcony

    Wonderful, probably the best house we've stayed at over the years, location was awesome, the pool was great and the beach was an easy walk across the street and never crowded, the sunset's were better than described and we saw dolphins and stingrays every day out our back door.. can't wait to come back ?

    Our family had a wonderful stay. The town is quiet and family friendly. We loved waking up to the bay and watching dolphins. There were kids staying in neighboring homes which kept my kids busy too! Definitely recommend and will visit again.
