Property Description

There's beach houses... and then there's the one you don't want to leave. This is 1218 New River Inlet Rd., where ocean and sound views collide and everything about the home feels dialed in. This pristine, fully furnished coastal retreat has been extensively upgraded and renovated, giving you that rare combination of turn-key convenience and true peace of mind--something most beach properties claim but don't deliver. Step inside and you immediately feel the difference. The main living area has been completely refreshed with new ceilings, updated electrical, and durable LVP flooring that runs seamlessly through the foyer, kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen itself has been reimagined with new cabinetry and a full suite of updated appliances, making it just as functional for week-to-week rentals as it is for hosting family dinners after a long beach day. But the real story here is what you don't always see--and what usually costs you later. In 2026 alone, the home underwent a major overhaul including a new HVAC system, updated plumbing underneath the home, and a complete renovation of the backside of the property--featuring new sliding doors, windows, structural components, siding, and a refreshed top-floor deck. Translation: the big-ticket items are already handled. Outside is where this property earns its keep. Expansive decks invite morning coffee with ocean views and evening unwinding with soundside sunsets. There's even an outdoor shower--because if you own a beach house and don't have one, what are we doing? With 5 bedrooms and generous gathering spaces, the layout is built for flexibility--whether that's hosting multiple families, maximizing rental occupancy, or just spreading out and enjoying the space yourself. And speaking of rentals... This property isn't just ''investment potential''--it's already performing. With over $85,000 in gross rental revenue already booked for the current year, it's a proven income producer right out of the gate. Whether you're looking for a short-term rental powerhouse, a second home escape, or a full-time coastal residence, this one checks boxes most properties can't even reach. And location? You're tucked into North Topsail Beach for that quieter, less crowded feel--but still just minutes to Sneads Ferry for essentials and a short drive to Surf City for restaurants, nightlife, and everything in between. This is the rare coastal property that actually delivers on what most buyers are searching for.
