Soundfront 4BR with Private Dock & Beach & Elevator. Walk to Town

A rare find on Topsail Island — this 2,200 sqft soundfront home sits right on the Intracoastal Waterway with your own private dock and a sandy beach that emerges at every low tide. The ocean beach is a 5-minute walk, the village shops and restaurants are 10 minutes on foot, and an elevator serves all 3 floors.

**The Home**

This is a spacious, well-equipped family retreat with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms plus a ground-floor half bath, and room for 10 guests. The master suite upstairs features an oversized rainshower, double vanity, washer drier, and separate water closet. The jack-and-jill bathroom between the bunk room and main-level queen has private sinks and toilets for each room with a shared shower.

The full kitchen is stocked with T-fal cookware, an air fryer, panini press, and Keurig. A second fridge in the elevator room makes it easy to load coolers or store extra beverages. The gas grill and outdoor dining furniture are perfect for evening cookouts with a sunset view.

Connect to the Sonos indoor/outdoor speaker system for the perfect vacation soundtrack (just be mindful of quiet hours at 10 PM). Every bedroom has a smart TV, and the house has WiFi.

**The Dock & Private Beach**

This is what sets the Canterbury Sandcastle apart. At low tide, a sandy beach emerges right off the dock — kids can wade and splash in calm, shallow sound water while you relax on the deck. Drop a fishing line off the floating dock (3-4 ft deep at low tide) or the main dock (+11 ft deep at the end).

At high tide, the dock is perfect for jumping in, crabbing, or just watching the dolphins cruise by. Bring your own boat Drop in at Bush's Marina and tie up — just use proper bumpers to protect your boat and our dock.

Sunsets from the dock are the highlight of every stay. Guests consistently mention this in their reviews.

Note: Boat lift is not included. Owner's boat and trailer may be parked on the far side of the driveway. Use of dock at own risk.
