    Action Tide-Song: Bring the Whole Crew (and the Dogs!) for an Oceanfront Surf City Escape

    Property Highlights: Oceanfront • Private Beach Access • Panoramic Ocean Views • Spacious Oceanfront Deck • Two Living Areas • Dog Friendly • Enclosed Outdoor Shower • Covered Streetside Porch • Convenient Surf City Location

    Welcome to Action Tide-Song! 🌅

    Settle into easygoing oceanfront living at Action Tide-Song, a spacious Surf City retreat where the beach is right outside your door and there's plenty of room for the whole family—including your four-legged companions—to come along.

    The expansive oceanfront deck is the heart of the outdoor experience. Start the morning here as the sun rises over the water, spend the afternoon relaxing in the ocean breeze, or gather outside after a day on the sand and take in the uninterrupted coastal views. On the opposite side of the home, a covered streetside porch offers another comfortable outdoor spot for watching island life go by.

    When the beach is calling, the home's private beach access makes heading to the shoreline easy. Pack up the chairs, grab the beach toys, and spend the day swimming, searching for shells, or simply settling into the sand with the waves just steps from home. An enclosed outdoor shower is ready when you return.

    Inside, the home's two-level layout provides a great balance of shared gathering spaces and room to spread out. The main level takes full advantage of the oceanfront setting, with large picture windows bringing the view into the open living and dining areas. Step directly from the living room onto the deck whenever you want a closer look.

    A separate lower-level living area gives larger or multigenerational groups additional flexibility, creating another place to relax, play games, or give kids and teens a hangout space of their own. Bedrooms are spread between the two levels, making the layout especially convenient for families sharing a vacation home.

    Action Tide-Song also keeps you close to the heart of Surf City, with local restaurants, shops, the pier, and island attractions just a short drive away. You're close enough to easily explore town while still enjoying the peaceful feeling of your own oceanfront retreat.

    From sunrise coffee on the deck to long afternoons on the beach and evenings spent together overlooking the water, Action Tide-Song is made for relaxed family vacations and the kind of Topsail memories you'll want to return to year after year.

Can’t beat the view

Location, location, location! We throughly enjoyed our stay and would rebook should we be back in the area again to visit our kids. While the home could use some improvements and amenities do not hesitate to book this home if you are looking to enjoy the beach steps from the back porch. In comparison to other homes in the area this is a steal!

Location. Location. Location.

Incredible location. The home is older so bathrooms are small and the water heater can only handle one shower at a time. The kitchen is stocked well. The views are amazing. The house could use some TLC but it was a great vacation as we spend our days on the beach.

The view is beautiful. There is nothing in your back view of the ocean, the back deck withall the chairs is so cozy too. My fur babies had a great time. This property is layed out beautifully. It clean and has everything you need except your clothes. I will definitely be requesting this house for my next stay at Top sail beach.

Nice place at the beach

This was a nice place to stay. It was nice that it was two floors instead of three, reducing the number of stairs to be climbed to the living area. Beach access was difficult because of sand up over the walkway, but we managed. Kitchen was very well appointed.

Nice new appliances. The refrigerator with an ice maker that worked was nice. The extra refrigerator in the garage was nice for food items and drinks. Roomy enough for the whole family.

Could have been perfect…

We loved the location. There were an infestation of gnats, they were in the kitchen, in the bathrooms, in the bedrooms which was very bothersome when eating and we see gnats landing on our food. If this problem could be fixed, we would love to stay there again.

Overall very nice house with great access, not great cleaners

The house was very well equipped for our family vacation. Everything provided to make it feel like home away from home. However, not great Vacasa experience. House was not cleaned very well at check-in and no remedy was offered for several days after we had already cleaned and washed sheets ourselves. Not what you want to be doing on vacation!

It is fine

It is fine. It isn't fancy but does what it needs to do. There are minor cosmetic issues throughout. The downstairs shower is very small. It has plenty of beds. The beach isn't crowded because there is no public access close by, which is really nice. We had a fun stay overall.

AMAZING

This home was practically perfect for our family vacation in Topsail. Our family has been vacationing here for decades and we have stayed in dozens of different homes. This was one of my favorites by far. It is an older home, but lovingly maintained. Because of its age, there are far fewer stairs (both inside and out) than the newer homes on stilts. There was plenty of room for our family of 11 and the table was even large enough to accommodate everyone - which is shockingly unusual. The location is fantastic. Close to town but far enough from any public beach access. I rarely book a house twice in Topsail, but I would easily book this one every year.
