    Whaley: Ocean Views, Breezy Decks & Beach Days with Your Four-Legged Friends in Topsail Beach

    Property Highlights: Second Row • Dog Friendly • Ocean & Sound Views • Easy Beach Access • Expansive Oceanside Deck • Private Upper-Level Balcony • Open & Airy Living Spaces

    Welcome to Whaley!

    Discover the laid-back charm of Topsail Beach at Whaley, a welcoming three-bedroom, two-bathroom second-row beach home offering beautiful ocean and sound views, spacious outdoor living, and convenient access to the shoreline. Located on the quieter southern end of Topsail Island, this inviting getaway is the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy a memorable beach vacation with family, friends, and your four-legged companions.

    One of the home's best features is its expansive oceanside deck, offering plenty of space to enjoy the sunshine, coastal breeze, and beautiful views. Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the neighborhood and ocean, spend your afternoons relaxing outdoors, or gather for an evening cookout after a day on the sand. With sliding glass doors connecting the living and dining areas to the deck, it's easy to enjoy indoor and outdoor living throughout your stay.

    When you're ready for the beach, public beach access is just a short walk away, making it easy to spend your days swimming, searching for shells, fishing, or simply relaxing along the shoreline. The peaceful surroundings and residential atmosphere offer a wonderful setting for enjoying the slower pace of Topsail Beach.

    Inside, Whaley welcomes you with a bright, airy atmosphere, high-sloped ceilings, and plenty of natural light. The comfortable living area offers room for everyone to gather, while a convenient writing desk provides a quiet spot for reading, journaling, or catching up on a little work. The spacious eat-in kitchen and dining area create an inviting place to share meals and spend quality time together.

    The home's thoughtful layout offers a comfortable balance of shared spaces and privacy. One bedroom is located on the main living level, along with a full bathroom and beautiful sound views. Upstairs, an open overlook adds to the home's spacious feel, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom provide comfortable accommodations.

    The upper-level bedroom features a private oceanside balcony, creating a special place to step outside and enjoy the coastal scenery. The additional bedroom offers peaceful soundside views, giving guests beautiful surroundings on both sides of the home.

    After a full day of beach adventures, rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading upstairs to relax. Covered parking beneath the home and a convenient ground-level entrance add ease to your arrival and departure.

    Located near the southern end of Topsail Island, Whaley puts you within easy reach of local restaurants, shopping, fishing, and the relaxed atmosphere that makes Topsail Beach a favorite destination for returning visitors.

    Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on the deck, taking a leisurely walk to the beach with your pup, or unwinding on the private balcony after a beautiful coastal day, Whaley offers a comfortable and welcoming place to make lasting Topsail Island memories.

Pawfect beach hideaway!

Perfect location for a quiet family beach getaway with your fur baby! Quaint but clean and good outside deck spaces. Slightly dated furniture but the beds were comfortable and we were there for the beach so didn't bother us at all.

Great location.

Great location for a quiet family vacation. If you want to sit on the deck without a lot of traffic. The house could use some updating and paint, but are you going for the house or the beach? Public access was across the street and a short walk. No need to drive! Enjoyed our time.

Great location, could use improvements

Excellent location and well laid out home. Furniture is very dated, but fine for a beach house. Missing basic amenities like a dish sponge, hair dryer, beach towels, etc. we bought a hairdryer at a thrift store and left it in the rental.

Nice views and access from second row home

Beautiful deck overlooking ocean. Easy access to beach. Small but big enough deck on backside for gorgeous sunsets Minor leaky window and WiFi connection issues. A bit dated but we can see improvements are underway (hopefully). A whale of a good time!

Loved how close it was to the beach! Just a short walk to the public access to the beach. The water pressure was a lacking in both showers. Was lovely to sit out on the deck and have coffee in the morning and dinner and wine in the evening. Parking was very nice. There were a lot of flies everywhere st on point we made a game of how many we killed. Other than that we had a great time and even talked about booking it again next year!! Thank you!

We loved our stay at Whaley

The location was great, the house was clean and most importantly (for us) our pup was allowed! We could see where parts of the house are not “updated” enough for some people, but we don’t mind that at all. It was a comfortable stay. The only two things we would recommend is adding a fenced in area and adding a gate to the deck for dogs. Those are two bonuses for families like us that take their pup everywhere, but we still had a great time! We will also give a heads up that the charcoal grill pictured was not there and the gas grill was not in the best shape. We grill a lot, so we just ended up getting a small propane grill. No big deal. We would stay at Whaley again!

Could’ve been better

Pros: -The views! Beautiful views of the ocean and sound! Amazing for being a second row home. -Nice newer decks to enjoy both the ocean and sound views -Beach access is very close. -Lots of windows to let in a lot of natural light during the day or beautiful moonlight during the evening. Cons: -The beds were very uncomfortable -2 of the main doors leaked. We came in to find a wet floor in the living room and master bedroom. Not a great way to start our stay. -Cleaners didn’t clean. The bathrooms were grimy and disgusting. Lots of buildup on the faucet and shower head. Also dead bugs all over the floor and all kinds of crumbs and other things. My wife tried to use the sweeper provided at the house and it didn’t even work. It pushed things around the floor and didn’t pick them up. Also dead bugs in the corners of the ceilings. -The freezer is disgusting. It’s all rusted. -The door knobs/locks are all corroded on the outside.

Unpleasant

The listing sites there is TV under entertainment which is correct however there was no WIFI to connect to which should be available. The location was dirty with dust and dried food stuck between the stove and countertop. The linens in the lower bedroom had blood on them. The walls had gross brow streaks running down them. The coffee pot was non functional. Mold in the bathrooms. Both beds that we used are broken. The only thing about this home that was accurate was the view! Shower curtains are used in the main living area which also had mold. The lower bedroom has stained curtains. Definitely will not use Vacasa as a as a rental agent in the future. The communication was horrible! They stated they were sending a Tech out two hours after we checked in we checked out on Friday instead of Sunday and still never saw a Tech to figure out the WIFI which meant we couldn’t do our necessary work without using a hot spot from our phones. The DVD player has no cord to connect to the TV for use and has a DVD stuck it it rendering it useless. Overall stay was miserable because we couldn’t work and couldn’t enjoy the beach due to weather conditions (uncontrollable I understand) but we couldn’t even stream a movie to the TV from our devises because when we tried to hook our device to the TV an error came up saying “not a spectrum approved device. The local “team” was of absolutely no use as they were condescending, rude and untruthful. We asked day one to move to a different unit but deny

Much better

This was our second time staying at the property and it was much better than the first. Improvements were made to the property. Only complaint is the deck because it slopes and was poorly built. The stairs are very dangerous.
