Fully Renovated Oceanfront - Private Beach Access - Sleeps 8 - Dog Friendly

This is such a beautiful home. EVERYTHING and then some is provided. The entire house flows with a navy blue and white theme. The amount of games that were provided in the home was amazing to have. You can tell Michelle the host has put so much thought in every tiny detail. The beds are some of the most comfortable that I’ve ever found in a vacation stay, we were actually sad to leave the bed and pillows!! The outdoor doggy turf area and crate are extra bonuses that were much appreciated. Every kitchen tool you’d ever need is there was well. We will definitely be staying again and also hopefully checking out one of Michelle’s mountain homes as well.

Everything about our recent stay was wonderful. The house is fantastic- good lay out, comfortable beds, exceptionally clean. It is nice that everything is provided. The host was wonderful to work with and always prompt in responding. I fully recommend this place and look forward to booking it again.

This house has everything you need. Our ages ranged 10-75 with one dog. We all had so much fun and felt so comfortable like we were at home. Everything felt NEW and was super clean. Our family will stay here again!

Magnificent views even though house is set back in the landscape. Private boardwalk to the beach is a plus. Dog run is a lifesaver! Tasteful decor with comfortable king bed! The games were an added touch to our rainy day! Host was welcoming to our feedback regarding a deeper clean —especially with the hair that was left in all the all shower drains and the 2 roaches we encountered our last day. Host planned to take action to address these points.

This was a great beach house! Loved being able to just walk out on the beach. Topsail was quiet but that was perfect for us. We had everything we needed and loved the big table in the kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.

The kitchen was fully equipped with adequate supplies to cook Thanksgiving dinner. The house was very clean and clearly recently renovated. Bedding and towels were very nice. Very pleased with the house and our stay. We would stay there again.

It was perfect for our needs

We are pretty well-travelled as a family. When we had our family time to talk about trip agenda or how things were tracking in general (like a state-of-the-union sort or evaluation mid-trip. State-of-the-stay?), we all agreed this place was top 3 all-time homes we've stayed in; with several votes for 1st place. I'm not sure I could give the home higher praise than that! The location is enough all by itself. WYSIWYG as far as the VRBO listing and the pictures there. The waves breaking, the walkway to the beach, the stars. There are shelves amd shelves full of family games for nights when you just want to hang at the house (why wouldnt you want that?), and all the gakes are in new or like-new condition. Just yes x 1000. One of my sons is stationed at MCAS New River, and it is all of our hope that this home is available whenever we come back (and this is already our 5th trip to N.C. since october '24). If you're still swiping or on the fence, Im not sure what else I can say to sway you. Thank you to our host Michelle for the prompt response and to the owner for the pride and upkeep of the home itself. 10-out-of-10, would recommend :)

We could not have had a better experience with our family at this house! We hope to visit again in the future.

Beautiful property. Very well stocked kitchen

We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely plan another trip here in the future! The home was clean and spacious for our family of 6. Loved that each couple had their own bathroom! Enjoyed using the beach amenities provided with the house! Perfect beach front location & enjoyed being able to bring our Australian Shepherd with us to enjoy the beach! You will not be disappointed booking this ocean front beach house!

Everything was very thoughtfully appointed! Great view, even in a storm! Great hosts! Kit hen had everything we d expect, and more!

What a beautiful home! This was by far the best rental I have ever booked. This home had everything you could possibly need while on vacation. Very clean beautifully decorated. Communications with management was great. I look forward to stay here again in the near future.

The kitchen was a dream. From the large kitchen island to the fully equipped cookware and utensils.

It is a lovely house and the beach is very clean

Excellent stay! The kitchen was a joy to cook in with a perfect view of the beach. The hosts literally think of everything you might need. I would highly recommend!

This house is perfect! Modern, clean, spacious, with a well stocked kitchen - everything has been so thoughtfully planned and taken care of! We loved the direct access to the beach and watching the ocean from the decks. Really appreciated the beach towels and chairs and areas for the dogs to be outside, too! We plan to come back again!

Perfect location!! Beautiful house!

Lovely stay! Everything was perfect! All details thought of and provided for. Great access to the beautiful beach! Would definitely stay again! Michelle is wonderful!

Steps to the Sea was a great house for our family vacation. The house is beautifully updated/decorated and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. And the beach was great and not crowded!! Michelle was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our questions both during booking and our stay. We would definitely stay at Steps to the Sea again!

The home was beautiful, clean, and fully stocked with anything you might need. It was exactly as advertised. We spent everyday at the beach and my grandsons loved it!I hope to come back very soon!Thank you Michelle for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.

Wonderful experience, loved the home and the beach!

The house is beautifully furnished with great taste, perfectly equipped and the location was great

Beautiful property. Well stocked and cared for. Thank you for thinking of all the little things that helped to make our stay even better. Definitely recommended.

First the beach is fantastic. Not crowded. Large. Easy to get to. Our dog and kids had a great time. The house is lovely. Clean, well furnished, well-equipped, laid out well. Everything is taken care of and not worn or in need of maintenance. Mostly the word that comes to mind is easy. Staying here is easy. Relaxing. You are well cared for. There is olive oil, spices, nice pans and sharp knives in the kitchen. There are beach chairs and towels for you to use, nice linens and mattresses. Nice touches like travel shampoos and soft towels and a bin full of stuff just in case you forgot a toothbrush or razor. There is dish soap and laundry soap. There is toilet paper and hand soap. Bring yourself and your family and enjoy the water. A great stay and a great location. Really thoughtfully put together rental. Thank you!

This house is AMAZING! Our family stayed there for Thanksgiving and it was everything we could hope for and more. It is right on the beach - where we enjoyed mulitple walks a day. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we've ever had in a VRBO - there was everything you could ever need. The layout was amazing with the bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor. Kitchen, living room and king bed upstairs - the views from the living room and 3 of the bedrooms were fantastic. Great gathering spaces and plenty of room for some alone time if you wanted. We definately will be back!

We went in the starting of the off season. No crowds or traffic. Water was still warm. Found sharks teeth, visited the pier, ate lots of different food, enjoyed the sun and fishing. Plenty of space for all of us. Access to the beach was amazing! Our older dog got tired of the stairs by the middle of the trip but was happy to nap on her blanket during the day. Will definitely be back!

This is a beautiful, well-equipped, and spotless home. It has easy access to the beach and a stunning view of the ocean! Fast, professional, and polite communication with the host made staying here effortless! We highly recommend it.

Celebrated my birthday with family. Very nice house. Well appointed. Easy to access. Beach and ocean right there!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Charming decor, excellent beds and a well stocked kitchen allowed us to really refresh ourselves as we visited with each other after our time at the beach. We were very comfortable and happy.

Only negative to this home would be The guest bedroom upstairs does not have much privacy because on main floor with kitchen and living room. The bathroom is not attached to bedroom and only one on that level. Little bit of an inconvenience if that person likes privacy. Access to beach was. A plus. Beach amenities go over and beyond. Kitchen was well stocked and additional personal Amenities were a plus. Each room was very spacious and relaxing. Views in every room to the beach were great

Lovely house -- equipped with everything! Beach front, chairs provided, easy check in, very clean. We will definitey be back!!

The property was nothing short of amazing! From the decor, to the necessities, everything was perfect! Thank you Michelle, for hosting us! You are awesome! We would most definitely rent again!

Anything that you needed was furnished. The best vacation home that we have rented in 30 years of vacationing. Dogs were included in the amenities as well.

It was one of the best vacation houses , accommodation were perfect for my family , great views easy access to beach, very peaceful

Absolutely lovely home with direct access and views to / of the beach and Atlantic Ocean. The home was the best equipped rental I have stayed in during the past 25 years. Michelle is a super host!!! I highly recommend this rental.

Steps to the Sand was lovely for our family beach trip! Insanely comfy beds, great location and wonderful extras throughout the house. Loved the big island and open kitchen area— plus the beach views were fabulous! Amazing communications! Thanks for having us!!!
