Stars is for the ones who stay up. When the beach empties and the sky goes deep, carry a blanket to the brand new rooftop deck and count what the city never shows you. By day it is all oceanfront ease: private beach access, oceanfront dining right off the living room, a 65 inch smart TV, and a well stocked kitchen with Keurig and drip coffee makers.
The oceanfront master has a king bed, smart TV, and ensuite with rainfall shower. A queen bedroom and a twin bunk room share the hall bath, and the ground floor Alcove adds a queen bed under the stairs.
The new rooftop deck is the showpiece: sunset chairs in the back, stars overhead at night, ocean in every direction. Carport with gas grill and enclosed outdoor shower below. Adjoins Sun: book both for the whole crew.

“As expected”Verified guest · Up On The Roof: Stars · Airbnb · April 2026
“We had the delightful experience of renting this cozy Airbnb right on the beach for our kids’ spring break. It was their first time at the ocean, and the convenience of this location made their first beach trip truly memorable. The home was tranquil and conveniently located near numerous amenities. The added bonus was the direct access to the beach from the main patio, followed by a relaxing evening on the rooftop deck with the fire pit. The home was impeccably stocked with all the essentials we needed, and they even provided baby items like a pack ’n play and high chair that were perfect for our youngest. We are already eagerly planning our next beach trip and will undoubtedly be returning to this beautiful property. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and communicative, making our stay even more enjoyable.”Verified guest · Up On The Roof: Stars · Airbnb · April 2026

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 (dogs only) for a per-dog, per-week pet fee shown on your written quote. 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.
Same home, same family, same clean sheets. Booking directly skips the Airbnb and Vrbo service fees, and you talk with Amy from the first question to the last door code. Found us on a listing site? Send us the same dates and we will happily reply with the direct total.

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.
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.
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.
