About this property
Dream On #145 - Private boat dock, short walk to the beach, dog friendly!
Welcome to Dream On #145, a quintessential Topsail Beach cottage, a Landmark Vacation Rentals home! Located on the quiet south end of Topsail Island, Dream On #145 offers sprawling sound views with a private boat dock for you to enjoy! Guests can bring or rent a boat, jet skis, kayaks, or paddleboards and dock right at the house for the duration of your stay and enjoy endless hours exploring the sound of Topsail Island. Kayaks and paddleboards can be launched right from the floating dock, and the fenced in yard is a great for those who want to bring their dog along on vacation (an additional non-refundable fee of $300 per dog applies, with a maximum of two dogs allowed).
Guests will enter the house from the main floor deck and will be welcomed into the clean, coastal kitchen with bar seating for 4 and a dining area with seating for 6. The living room offers comfortable seating and canal front deck access with long range views of the sound. A queen sleeper sofa is available in the living room for an additional sleeping space. There are four bedrooms, each with a TV and access to one of two full bathrooms. The first bedroom has a king sized bed with canal views and has a Jack and Jill bathroom that is shared with a bedroom with a queen sized bed. The other two bedrooms, one queen with canal views, and one with two twin over twin bunk beds, each have access to the hall bathroom.
The back deck overlooking the canal with long range sound views is great place to relax at any time of the day to enjoy the sights and sounds that Topsail has to offer. Guests can access their boat or other watercraft on the private dock or enjoy fishing directly off the dock in the canal. The covered carport offers a two-seater swing, great for curling up with a good book and enjoying the cool ocean breeze. The public beach access is a short walk down the street with pristine beaches that are never crowded waiting for you to soak up the sun or try your hand at surf fishing. There is an outdoor shower located in the carport for rinsing off after a day at the beach. A full sized washer and dryer are located in lower level storage room (not pictured). Dogs are welcome! Please note the boat lift is not available for guest use.

We loved the location and the views were amazing! The layout of the house was great only change I would put a stackable washer/dryer in the newly refinished bathroom for ease of use for all.

We had a wonderful stay at Dream On #145 in a fabulous location with an awesome view. It seems these are newer owners that are undertaking some fabulous transitions and we can’t wait to see what they do with this place. The decking right to the dock to our boat was great and the fencing for the dogs was such a gift. It was very clean and comfortable inside. We would have preferred no carpet and darker blinds for the bedroom windows, and my wife wanted to organize the kitchen, but that’s just us being picky. The only real complaint is that this rental does need more and comfortable outdoor furniture, as 4 (+ 1 unusable/broken) plastic chairs really doesn’t cut it for a place that holds many more people and where you want to enjoy the outdoors! We would have loved to eat dinner outside while watching the sunset, but there was no table or umbrella/shade. Also, no table on the covered soundfront porch either. That said, we would still return and recommend this place to others. Right on the water, short walk to the beach, working bathrooms, comfortable beds, clean linens provided... it’s already a dream!

We had a great time! The house is dog-friendly but was clean and in overall nice condition. The kitchen was especially well-equipped for a rental property. It felt more like we borrowed a house from a good friend vs rental property.
It was disappointing we didn’t have a second shower until Thursday since they were in the middle of remodeling and we didn’t find out until we were on our way down Saturday.

This was our 2nd time staying here and we enjoyed it even more. They've renovated the other bathroom now, removed some of the carpet, added blinds and curtains, got awesome glider chairs for the canal side porch, a couple of wooden chairs and drink table for the road-side porch, and added stairs into the water on the floating dock. All wonderful improvements to an already great place on the water, with a short walk to the beach and nice sound views of the dolphins and sunsets. Still could use a table/chairs for dining al fresco, and maybe a fish cleaning table, but still very grateful to the owners for sharing their home and allowing pets and use of the dock. The only complaint is for other "guests" putting dirty dishes back in the cabinets and not picking up after their dogs in the yard... so come on people - don't be rude and disrespectful. That's not a big deal and not the owners', cleaners' or rental company's fault, so don't let that stop you from renting here! We would definitely go again!
