Get ready for slow mornings on the sunny side. Pour your coffee, climb to the rooftop deck, and watch the sun come up over the Atlantic while the beach below is still quiet. Down on the open main floor: a oceanfront living room with 65 inch smart TV, dining for 6 plus bar seating for 4, a well stocked kitchen with Keurig and drip coffee makers, and the private lower deck where your own walkway to the sand begins.
Upstairs, the oceanfront king master has an ensuite with rainfall shower; a queen bedroom and twin bunk room share the hall bath. The ground floor Alcove tucks a queen bed under the stairs. Then there is the rooftop deck: seating for everyone, a new fire table, and the best sunrise and sunset views on the block.
A new deck gate keeps kids and dogs safe, and the carport holds a gas grill and an enclosed outdoor shower. Free EV charging included. Need more room? Book Stars next door or the full duplex.

“We greatly enjoyed our stay at Amy’s place. The location is perfect and having a place to rinse off right off the beach is a huge help with pets & little ones. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The beach is quiet and peaceful, can’t wait to come back.”Verified guest · Up On The Roof: Sun · Airbnb · September 2026
“Our stay at "Up on the Roof - Sun" was amazing! Just as advertised, this property is the perfect beach home away from home. With more than enough room for a family of up to 8-10 people, we found it ideal for our group of 4 (plus two fur-babies)! The multiple deck areas were great for watching beautiful morning sunrises, midday lunch breaks, late afternoon book reading, and cocktails in the evening. The beach/ocean was literally steps away, making it so much easier to get down and back to the house if needed during the day. The roof deck was spectacular - breathtaking views of the beach. Given our stay was in mid-August, the beach was far less crowded than in previous weeks of summer, which was very nice. The hosts were fantastic, and the communications with them were always pleasant and helpful. We had a wonderful time on our trip to N. Topsail, and it was made even more memorable thanks to our stay at "Up on the Roof - Sun!!"”Dodie R · Up On The Roof: Sun · Vrbo · August 2026
“The rooftop deck sold us on this house and the rest was icing on the cake. We had a group of 10 and fit just right, including one of our dogs who got to come on this trip with us. The furniture was very comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. I loved walking out with our dog early before sunrise for a walk on the beach right out the back door. Highly recommend this house.”Verified guest · Up On The Roof: Sun · Vrbo · June 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.

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.
Named for what carried our family here. Ten of you, a fire table by the ocean, a gated deck for the little ones, and the waves for a lullaby.
