Nestled in the quiet community of Pleasant Cove and surrounded by large, live oaks, you will surely find serenity on the decks of this home. Located just minutes from both, Topsail Beach and Surf City, there are many restaurants, shops, grocery stores and parks nearby. With just a three minute walk to the nearest beach access, you will have your toes in the sand in no time! After a day in the sand and sun, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower, enjoy dinner at the screened in picnic table and end the evening relaxing on the decks with a good book.

Upon entry, you will find an open living space, kitchen and dining area as well as the primary bedroom. Open living spaces makes spending family time together that much easier!

So Much Better Than A Hotel Stay!

Very cute house. Lots of steps, Closet in Master is locked as an “owner closet” Which is really inconvenient. Especially for two 76 year olds,. Kitchen is well equipped. Inside was very clean and tidy. Outside needs some grooming. Leaves need to be blown out of the drive and patio area. Would stay there again.
