Sea La Vie
Our namesake, and the easiest beach access we have: out the back door, down your own walkway, toes in the sand before the car cools off.
Your own private walkway: door to sand in about thirty seconds

Gather all ten of you in this completely renovated oceanfront beach house. Pour your coffee, step onto the oceanfront deck as the sun comes up over the Atlantic, and let the waves be the only thing louder than the kids. When everyone is ready, your own private walkway carries you straight down to a stretch of sand you will mostly have to yourselves.
Inside, the ground floor Alcove tucks a queen bed and smart TV under the stairs (teenagers claim it fast). One floor up, the open main level holds a living room with 60 inch smart TV, dining for 8, a granite kitchen with island seating, a half bath, and that oceanfront deck where the walkway begins.
The top floor has a oceanfront king master with private bath, private upper deck access, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room with two sets of bunks for the kids. Outside: an evening fire table by the ocean, a gas grill in the private carport, an outdoor shower for sandy feet, and free EV charging.
Crowded is not in our vocabulary on this stretch of North Topsail. A sand bar 30 to 40 feet out calms the surf for kids, and tidal pools appear late in the day.
The full list, straight from our listing. Ask us if you do not see something you need.

“Lovely house, very responsive and charming hosts, easy beach access, and grateful they allow pets! Wish the covered deck was a bit larger so you could see more beach, but it was still a good view and right on the beach.”Charlotte B · God's Grace · Vrbo · September 2026
“Wonderful vacation home. The house itself is in an amazing location. Even at the end of July it was not busy at all!The house was very clean. The owner was great to work with, very kind, and we got into the house early. The beds were already made as well. The layout of the queen room was a bit odd and it could use some decorations/mirrors and trash cans in the bedrooms but that’s a super easy fix and nothing to hold against the home or the owner :-)There were tons of beach chairs and boogie boards to pick from. The porch furniture was so comfortable with breathtaking views. We would definitely rent this again.”Jill N · God's Grace · Vrbo · August 2026
“God’s Grace is a beautiful beach house .It had everything we needed and more .Communication with owner, Amy, was exceptional We especially enjoyed the private access to the beach !”Nancy D · God's Grace · Vrbo · July 2026
“We really enjoyed our stay at God‘s grace! It is a beautiful location just steps from the beach! The kitchen is well stocked. Other reviews mentioned AC problems but it worked very well during our stay. The house was clean. The only thing we would have appreciated was if the windows had been cleaned. The salt leaves a coating that makes it difficult to enjoy the view. Also, the couch cushions need to be replaced as some are terribly misshapen. Otherwise, a very nice place to stay. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely consider staying again!”Mike S · God's Grace · Vrbo · July 2026
“God's Grace was a stunning place. Literally could see the ocean while lying in bed. Thanks for a wonderful visit!”Verified guest · God's Grace · Airbnb · May 2026
“Beach view and access were fantastic. We could watch sunrise from the master bedroom without getting out of bed, but seeing it from the beach was equally majestic. Amy the owner was extremely helpful and very responsive; we couldn’t get the EV charger to work but she came up with solutions for us that worked.The kitchen & living room areas are very comfortable and open and we spent lots of time there when we weren’t on the beach. The dining room is plenty large and the kitchen area with bar stools around the counter was perfect for cooking and family time.The owner also put up a Christmas tree which was very festive!”Verified guest · God's Grace · Vrbo · December 2025

This is the stretch of North Topsail with no public beach access nearby, which means the sand behind the house stays blissfully uncrowded: room for chairs, corn hole, and a football throw without disturbing a soul. A sand bar 30 to 40 feet out calms the surf for young swimmers, tidal pools appear late in the day, and great surf fishing waits around the old pier posts just north. Groceries are across the bridge, our favorite restaurants are minutes away, and Wilmington is under an hour when you want a day trip.

It is truly oceanfront: your own private walkway leads from the deck over the dunes straight to the sand. About thirty seconds, even carrying chairs.
It sleeps 10: 3 BR + queen alcove and 2.5 baths. See the Where Everyone Sleeps list above for the bed-by-bed layout.
Dog friendly: up to 2 dogs for a per-dog, per-week pet fee that appears on your written quote before you pay anything. There is an outdoor shower for sandy paws, and the beach in front of the house is dog friendly year round.
Cancel 30 or more days before check-in: full refund. Cancel 14 to 29 days before: half of the rent refunded. Inside 14 days: no refund. (Book through Vrbo or Airbnb instead and their fees follow their rules.)
If a mandatory evacuation order from the Town of North Topsail Beach or Onslow County covers any night of your stay, North Carolina's Vacation Rental Act governs refunds for those nights and we follow it. A storm that does not close the island is not grounds for a refund, so for June through November stays we recommend trip insurance. Ask us and we will point you to it.

Our namesake, and the easiest beach access we have: out the back door, down your own walkway, toes in the sand before the car cools off.
One roof, two homes, twenty of your favorite people. Six oceanfront decks, rooftop fire pits, and the reunion your family will measure the others by.
The sunny right side of the duplex. Coffee on the rooftop at sunrise, the fire table at dusk, and ten of you falling asleep to the surf.
