About this home
Experience effortless oceanfront living in beautiful North Topsail Beach in this fully furnished, turnkey-ready condo, featuring a NEW HVAC in 8/2026! This beachfront 2-bedroom condo showcases stunning Atlantic Ocean views, direct beach access, and the ideal blend of personal enjoyment and investment opportunity. The property has produced high, consistent rental income through VRBO over the last several years. The rental income potential could be further maximized, as the owners frequently reserved the condo for personal use and did not previously utilize Airbnb as an additional rental platform. Ask your agent for more info! Located near New River Inlet, this stretch of shoreline offers a more peaceful coastal setting while still being conveniently close to local dining, shopping, and marinas. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, second home, or vacation rental property, this condo checks every box for easy coastal ownership. Ownership is made simple with the HOA maintaining the community pool, beach access, and exterior building maintenance -- giving you more time to enjoy life by the water. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises over the Atlantic and unwind each evening to the sound of crashing waves -- the coastal lifestyle you've been dreaming of awaits.
