Welcome to Tan-N-Sand, a classic oceanfront cottage made for a relaxing Topsail getaway.

Arrive to plenty of parking and step inside with ease using keyless entry. The open living area welcomes you with coastal charm, comfortable furnishings, and a 70-inch Smart TV for movie nights. Best of all, you can enjoy sweeping ocean views right from the sofa, which also converts into a Queen sleeper for additional guests.

The dining area offers seating for four, with two more spots at the kitchen bar. A well-stocked kitchen makes it simple to prepare your favorite meals, or you can take them outside to the spacious screened-in porch. Spend your afternoons on the swing, soaking in the view, or head out to the sundeck where plenty of seating invites you to unwind. Private steps lead directly to the sand, complete with a Shabumi Beach Shade for your days by the ocean.

When it’s time to rest, you’ll find two bedrooms on the street side of the home—one with a Queen bed and the other with two Twins—plus a full shared bath.

Tan-N-Sand offers all the comfort you need for a carefree beach escape. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or simply enjoy the view, this oceanfront cottage is the perfect spot to make lasting memories. Book your stay today!

    Unfortunately, my experience at this property did not align with the description provided in the listing. The home was advertised as recently renovated, but the condition suggested otherwise.•Mold and odor: The house had a very strong musty/mold smell that seemed to be masked with air fresheners rather than properly addressed. So much so it left me with some breathing issues •Cleanliness and pests: Overall cleanliness was below standard, with visible dirt and grime. We also encountered ants in our food, which was a major concern.•Flooring issues: Several areas of the flooring felt soft and unstable. The section leading from the larger bedroom into the bathroom sank noticeably when stepped on, and at one point caught my shoe and caused me to trip. This felt unsafe and in need of urgent repair.•Accuracy of listing: Given these issues, the description of the property as “recently renovated” was misleading.I believe the property could be a nice rental with attention to deep cleaning, mold remediation, and structural repairs, but in its current state, it does not provide the safe or comfortable experience for guests.

    My husband and I have an incredible time at this spot! Everything was clean to satisfaction, awesome deck area, icy AC units, and the best view. Huge TV was nice on our 1 rainy day. The only issue (which I doubt is even preventable) is our parking area under the house flooding up about a foot and almost getting in the cars. Luckily we saw and were able to move the cars/pay to park across the street. Overall great stay and would definitely recommend

    This review is about the location we stayed in, not the one originally booked. The house that we reserved was going to be remodeled during our stay. The agency contacted us and gave us a choice of 3 other houses that were available and asked if we would mind switching to one of them. We did and were very happy with our choice.

    My wife and I stayed the week of sept 24 2021. The cottage is small,2 BR street side with bath in between and 1 room oceanfront that is kitchen dining and living room. There is a great 5'x24 screened porch oceanfront and a 5 x 24 sundeck with chairs oceanfront. You only go down 5 steps and are on the beach. Perfect for a couple and maybe 2 young children. 1 queen bed and 2 singles. The queen is very comfy memory foam but the 2 singles are in need of replacement. No washer or drier. All n all we will stay there again
