About this property

The Lookout: Tranquil Beachfront Condo

  • We invite you to come enjoy this cozy beach front condo with gorgeous ocean views! Sip a freshly brewed coffee drink from the Nespresso Bar (complete with milk frother, syrups, & pods to get you started) out on the private balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Walk for miles down Topsail Island's shoreline taking in the salty air and sunshine. Search for shark teeth and treasures on the beach and dolphins playing in the surf.

My college roommate and I had the best trip at The Lookout. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen, bath, etc. The coffee was a nice bonus! Mr. Martin’s dining recommendations were spot on, and he included where to get groceries, etc. We found lots of shark teeth (more than 50!) and other shells, saw dolphins and caught a blue crab.Mr. Martin also routinely checked in and his instructions were easy to follow - we literally had zero issues. This property was ideal for two adults looking to relax and enjoy some quiet time away from kiddos and daily responsibilities - no drunken parties or crazy behavior to disturb you, just really nice folks all around. Would totally go back!

Quiet beach stay

Cute small condo right on the water. Beach was not crowded. Balcony right over the water was very fun. Very few resteraunts or other amenties within walking distance which was ok because we made most meals in the kitchen which had everything we needed. Unfortunately we never saw any dolphins.

Total Relaxation

A lovely place to stay right on the Atlantic Ocean on North Topsail Island. This little condo was the perfect size and place for my daughter and I to getaway. It is charming, with a kitchen that has all of the necessary equipment for us to cook our gourmet meals, rise to morning coffee with the view of the beautiful Atlantic ocean. It was quiet with the sound of the waves so we could completely unwind. I recommend this lovely little condo that can sleep four but was perfect for just the two of us.

Amazing host!

Condo wasn’t clean when we first arrived. We called the host who answered immediately and gave us $75 refund for a dinner! He was even nice enough to let us stay a couple hours later than the check out time, I would definitely go again!

Anniversary Weekend Getaway

My husband and I booked for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary and it was exactly what we were looking for. The beach was not overcrowded and we loved dolphin watching from the balcony! The condo was clean and exactly as we expected per the online discription and pictures. Alan was extremely helpful and made the entire process so easy and stress free - he even checked in halfway through the stay to ensure we were happy and provided a dinner recommendation just in time for us not to have to make a decision (which this momma of 2 toddlers TRULY appreciated on her kid free getaway). HIGHLY recommend and will definitely keep on our list to return too!

Beach Getaway

Overall it was a great experience. The condo was clean. I was a bit concerned about the coolness as the property has 2 window units, but they work hard to keep the place nice and cool. One catch, the properly is TRULY ocean front. There is no beach at high tide as the water comes up to the sandbags on the beach. You have to plan your beach time, but otherwise it’s excellent!

The view from the living room is great.

The best thing about this condo is Alan the manager, owner, etc. He was available and responded to questions ASAP. While the condo is on the third floor and one had to climb stairs to get to it, we were able to find some wonderful young men who helped us with our food and luggage. Nonetheless, two beyond middle-aged women made going up and down the stairs their daily exercise. We thought the access to the beach, the friendliness of residents and renters and the beautiful views and sounds of the ocean compensated for those stairs!!

Last summer getaway

We had the best time. Everything we needed in a vacation rental for 3 and had great communication with Alan the owner. They even suggested a place for dinner one night, checking to make sure we had everything we needed and if we were comfortable. Beautiful views, quick walk to the sound, minutes from surf city. Couldn’t ask for a better place for myself, husband and teen daughter. If you’re in need of an elevator to get upstairs to the rental, this isn’t for you. But if you don’t mind a couple flights of stairs this is your place. Between walking the beach and climbing the stairs I’m not needing to head to the gym for a few days after our vacation. Like I said PERFECT for us and we will go back.

Great view and quiet area

Property is a little dated and showing some age. Condo was a bit smaller than anticipated but fine for 2 adults. No dishwasher. Musty smell in the condo. Kitchen has the basics to cook. Verizon phones and internet went out quite a bit. Main TV was nice - could not get the BR TV to work. Excellent check-in/out. Great communication with the owners. Awesome views and a great place to walk. Places to eat are 7-10 min away. Surf City is 25 min. Good value and congruent with the price per night.
