Expansive covered and open deck areas allow for sun and shade relaxation. Streetside balconies provide wonderful evening sunset views, and for watching sailboats cruise the Intracoastal Waterway. Even with all this wonderful outdoor space, the highlight has to be the ample rocking chairs, captain's chairs, Adirondack chairs, and even a hammock to enjoy direct and unobstructed Atlantic Ocean views, star gazing, and bird and dolphin watching! The ground level outdoor spaces including a patio area with grill, screened area, a smaller full size fridge in the garage for convenient storage and quick access to your purchased beverages or grill foods, and ground level landscaped grounds make the home even more inviting!

Guest Feedback:
"Beautiful house and excellent ocean views."

"This house is beautiful!! Great location!!"

"Loved this place! Oceanfront home that is very child friendly. We had our 13 month old with us and the place provided outlet covers, a high chair, a stroller, and a retractable baby gate which was so nice to have. It also had everything you needed for the beach as far as chairs, toys and umbrellas. Perfectly located on the beach and kitchen was fully equipped. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back!"

"The house had everything we needed, really appreciated."

"We all liked the outdoor furniture and the layout of the decks. The bedrooms are perfectly situated to meet our family's needs. The location to outdoor activities was perfect and so was the weather."

"Our family has stayed at this house for the last two summers. It is the first house that we have wanted to go back to. We have booked it already for next summer. It is a wonderful home to stay in and the kitchen is well equipped."

"Location! We loved being able to walk directly out to the beach and being a short distance to the pier and town. The house has great outdoor amenities. Perfect for families!"

"The home was beautifully decorated. It was great having a screened in area for grilling and eating. Views of ocean and sound were incredible. It was nice to sit on the decks and watch the fireworks for 4th of July!"

“10,000 Reasons lives up to its name. There are so many reasons to stay at this lovely beach home. The home is absolutely beautiful and was so clean. The kitchen is a cook's dream, so stocked that you do not need to bring a single thing with you from home. The furniture was clean and extremely comfortable, the beds were also comfortable. The ocean is right out your back deck. Steps to the beach and plenty of chairs and umbrellas for use. The bottom level with a screened in area to grill, shower and even eat if desired was amazing. The town of Top Sail was clean, plenty of grocery stores to choose from, with great shopping. I highly recommend this lovely oceanfront home for your vacation.”

“Beautiful place. Owners thought of everything. Our family had a great time!!!”

“The house we rented through Carolina Retreats was very clean upon arrival. The house itself was well maintained and had a well stocked kitchen. Any concerns we had were take care of in a timely fashion.”
