Tickled Pink has a way of putting everyone into vacation mode surprisingly fast. Morning coffee with ocean views turns into let's walk down to the beach for a bit, which somehow turns into pool volleyball, putting green competitions, one more swim before dinner, and one more hour outside. With a heated pool, easy beach access, four decks, and spaces designed for gathering, this is the kind of place where shoes tend to disappear by noon and nobody seems particularly ready to go back inside.>
The Highlights — Why Guests Love It

Vacation energy outside. Comfort and connection inside.

Whether you're planning a summer beach week with another family, bringing grandparents along, gathering with friends, or simply wanting a place where everyone naturally ends up spending time together, Tickled Pink was designed around the things guests tend to love most:

How easy it feels to have fun here.

5 bedrooms · 3.5 bathrooms · MAX occupancy 12 - inclusive of daytime guests

✓ 35' heated zero-entry pool with pool volleyball (heated March 15–October 15 to approximately 85°)
✓ Putting green, fire pit, and backyard spaces designed for gathering
✓ Ocean views from multiple decks
✓ Easy beach access with beach wagon, beach chairs, and nearby access points
✓ Two separate living areas for flexibility and room to spread out
✓ Three king bedrooms, one queen bedroom, and a bunk room
✓ Miss Pac-Man arcade that somehow becomes everyone's favorite surprise
✓ Fully stocked kitchen + Pay-It-Forward pantry with spices, staples, and little extras guests appreciate
✓ Charcoal grill (charcoal follows our Pay-It-Forward approach)
✓ Thoughtfully designed and personally managed by Beata

Inside

Tickled Pink was designed to give groups room to be together without feeling crowded.

The upper level naturally becomes the gathering place — coffee before everyone else wakes up, meals around the table, card games appearing after dinner, and conversations that somehow keep going longer than expected.

The lower level gives everyone another place to spread out. Someone wanders downstairs for just a minute and suddenly Miss Pac-Man turns into a challenge and everybody starts joining in.

Soft pink accents woven throughout the home add warmth, personality, and a little extra vacation energy to the space.

Where You'll Sleep

✓ Private ensuite bathroom

Middle Level Primary Suite

Middle Level Bedroom Three

Middle Level Bedroom Four

Middle Level Bedroom Five

Additional Bathrooms
✓ Shared full hallway bathroom on middle level
✓ Additional half bath on upper level

Outside

The backyard quietly becomes the center of the vacation.

Pool volleyball turns into rematches. Somebody heads toward the putting green while somebody else claims a lounge chair. Kids are swimming, adults are catching up, and everyone seems to naturally drift back together throughout the day.

Then suddenly it's late afternoon.

The heated zero-entry pool tends to become the star of the show, but the spaces around it matter just as much — multiple decks, gathering areas, fire pit conversations, and room for everyone to stay connected without all sitting in the same place.

And when beach time calls, it's close enough to make shell walks, ocean time, and spontaneous trips to the sand feel easy.

️ Parking & Access

✓ Private driveway parking for a maximum of 4 vehicles
✓ Vehicles park in 2 rows
✓ Beach wagon provided for easier trips to the beach
✓ Digital guidebook provided after booking with check-in information, local recommendations, and everything needed for an easy stay

Nearby

North Topsail has a quieter, more relaxed feel that many guests fall in love with quickly.

The beach is nearby, the views are beautiful, and the pace feels a little easier.

Many guests arrive expecting to spend most of their time exploring and quickly discover they end up spending much more time at the house than they planned.

Meet Beata

Hi — I'm Beata.

Tickled Pink always makes me smile because it feels like the kind of house where vacation naturally starts happening.

I wanted it to feel bright, welcoming, and easy — a place where people gather around the pool, settle into deck chairs, lose track of time outside, and create the kinds of memories everyone still talks about later.

I personally manage every reservation because hospitality matters deeply to me. Small things are automated for speed so nothing waits. Anything important comes directly from me.

Our Pay-It-Forward pantry works the same way this house does: take what you need, leave what you can.

Happy to have you.
— Beata

    Beata and team were fantastic every step of the way. All communication was extremely fast and helpful. Everything listed was available and working properly. We had any and everything we needed in the kitchen and more towels than I've ever seen in a rental. We were SET! My kids are a little feral and broke a couple of items that we replaced, but they were so kind and understanding about it all. During such a stressful time in our family's life (being displaced due to a house fire), this was truly a breath of fresh air. We miss it there already! And if we could, we would've stayed longer! Thank you for making this so wonderful for us and our kids. Also, their cleaner is AMAZING and also very helpful! She was responsive and attentive to anything we needed. You don't find that a lot so I think it speaks volumes of what a great team they all make.

    What a great family vacation we had ! House was in a great location and was stocked with so many amenities. Our granddaughters loved the pool and the video games. The backyard was great to hang out in and we liked that it was fenced in. We had our youngest granddaughter ( 6 months) with us and really appreciated the high chair provided. Thank you for hosting us. I’ll definitely rebook if we come back to Topsail and will check out your other properties.

    This was a new area for our 3 generation family beach week. Everyone had a great time. The house and all inside and outdoor furnishings were comfortable and good quality. The spacious pool was a big hit for everyone, especially the kids. It was nice to not worry about linens, paper supplies, seasonings and condiments. We like the pay it forward concept. The short walk to the beach was no issue. The beautiful beach was great for walking and for kids. We would definitely recommend this place.

    the house was just as described. It had plenty of space, was clean and well taken care of. I have never stayed in a house were the kitchen was stocked with anything you ever could need. Plenty of everything. Loved the pool and all the outdoor toys. Location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach. Perfect stay.

    This was a great house for our annual business planning retreat.The property is an easy walk to the beach. The heated pool was perfect as the ocean water was too cold but the pool was perfect. The management was very communicative and addressed any concerns quickly. I definitely recommend this place.

    The house is awesome. It is a very roomy, well furnished vacation home. The bedding is good and the furnishings nice. Our family really enjoyed sitting on the porches and taking in the views of North Topsail Beach. We bought a 4x4 access pass and drove the short distance to the New River Inlet access point and sat on the inlet, fished, and relaxed watching all the boats come in and out. Not a place to swim due to high currents but we don't do a lot of swimming in the ocean anyway. My daughter brought her 9 month old baby and the house is well appointed for children and babies with a high chair, portable crib, and kid friendly plates and cups. The back yard is really nice with plenty of seating, a heated pool, and lots of pool floats. The host provides plenty of towels for indoor and outdoor use. The grill is decent and the propane tank was full when we arrived. The kitchen is well appointed and there is a large table that seats 10 + for dining and playing games or whatever activities you might have in mind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return for another stay.

    Plenty of space and things to do at the house after a busy beach day. Carry over items from previous stays helped with supplies, and items used and out of stock were dropped off same day. Would def rent again.

    This place is amazing! It's very close to the beach and has a private pool (where we spent most of our time.) The house is immaculate with comfy furniture, a great kitchen, and smart TVs all over. Also, Christine was super proactive with anything we needed and always available via text. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for the absolute best house in North Topsail Beach!
