Waterfront home Queen's Grant - Kayaks, Pool, & Boat Dock

Located in the gated Queens Grant community, The Canal House is an immaculately clean and stylishly furnished 3 bed/3 bath townhome ready to host you and your family. Sandwiched between the Ocean and the Sound directly on a canal, you truly get the best of everything!

A twin bedroom and full bathroom with walk-in shower, along with a spacious living area, kitchen, deck, and sound access are the highlights of the first floor. As the end unit, the living area is full of great light and an unimpeded view directly out to Topsail Sound!

Up the stairs, you'll find the owner's suite with it's own deck and the same great view of Topsail Sound, as well as an en suite bathroom with walk-in dual head shower boasting a river rock floor. The 3rd bedroom includes a queen bed and en suite bathroom with a bathtub/shower combo.

Outdoors, you can enjoy the sun and views from the deck in the Owner's Suite, or sit, eat and relax in the shade of the deck on the first floor. A patio under the first floor deck includes more shaded seating, a porch swing, a grill and a drop-down table for outdoor eating...we recommend laying down some newspaper and dumping out a large low country boil or steam pot to enjoy with friends and family.

Steps from the deck/patio you'll have deep water sound access from the canal. The "day" docks are perfect for mooring your boat during your stay, while the floating dock offers a perfect spot to put in a kayak, canoe, or paddle board. If you bring a boat, Queens Grant has its own private boat ramp and trailer parking/storage that you are welcome to use during your stay. You can be out of your bed, on the boat tied in the canal, and on your way to your favorite fishing spot in a matter of minutes each morning.

A newly renovated pool and clubhouse just a few steps out the door provide a place to hangout for those less interested in the salt water adventures. Plenty of chairs and tables for enjoying a day by the pool, and a playground and basketball court are nearby for fun and games as well.

All of that, and the main attraction, the beach, is still just a few steps away. Load up our beach cart and head just past the pool to the Queens Grant beachfront property where you'll enjoy private access to the beach. Spend all day lounging in the sand and then come back home to the soundside for dinner and sunset views over the water. It's the best of both worlds!

We do have security cameras on the property, one located in the carport with a view of the driveway and street, and another on the back deck with a view of the sound and canal. The cameras are all aimed towards public areas of the neighborhood and do not view or monitor any spaces that our guests would be using privately. They are used only to check weather conditions and to confirm the presence of our cleaning and maintenance partners between guest visits.

We stayed over Thanksgiving. The place was so ckean and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed for cooking and comfort. The location was awesome a short walk to the beach that was clean and lovely. Would love to stay again in the summer when we could use the kayaks and paddle boards.

What a gem!

Our family had a blast at this property! The sunsets were amazing and the stargazing from the upper porch was magical. The proximity to the ocean was great and the pool was nice and clear. We hope to come back and actually stay a whole week!

Topsail Vacay...

This was out 9th year on Topsail Island and it was also our 25th anniversary so we stayed for 2 weeks at The Canal House. The house was clean and it was the perfect location for our group. We had access to the canal with our boat out back, the pool, and the beach-- nice options to accommodate everyone. The hosts were very timely in response to questions. We enjoyed our stay.

Great weekend stay!

Very clean unit & the owners were responsive. They offered a lot of extra items that we have found are usually not included. Linens are a huge bonus, beach towels, paddle boards & kayaks are just a few. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect for our family!

Elizabeth communicated with us incredibly well and everything was better than we expected. It was the perfect amount of space for our family (four adults, two children). We loved being on the canal and having very close beach access. We made good use of the kayaks and beach chairs Elizabeth offered as well! We will be back again!!

Lovely townhouse on the sound

Great little place on the sound. Nice view and loved being able to kayak right out the back door. Easy to get to the beach! Pet friendly but be aware lots of steep steps. That was tough on my senior dog. Easy check in/out and responsive property manager.

Beach AND bay view, canals and water toys abound.

Great house! This lovely home has it all. Gracious, attentive hostess, Very clean, exceedingly well stocked home. Everyone from parents, kids and furry friends will find something to love. Owners have great beach and canal toys, paddleboards, boogie boards, kayaks that we all enjoyed. Also worth mentioning the bathrooms were all clean and fresh. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Loved it so much we plan on returning next year for longer.
