Sounds Like Fun - Relax Soundside with Your Pet!

Sounds Like Fun is your ticket to classic Topsail Island charm with all the beach vibes you crave! This colorful, pet-friendly half-duplex/townhome might be a little older, but it’s full of character, comfort, and unbeatable water views. Tucked between the sparkling Atlantic and the serene Intracoastal Waterway, this getaway really does sound like fun!

Just steps across the street from public beach access and sitting along the soundside shoreline, this is the perfect spot to soak up sunrises over the ocean and sunsets over the waterway. Got a jet ski or small boat? Bring it along and tie it up at your own private dock—water play is just a few feet away!

Inside, the home is full of bright beachy touches, with tile flooring, colorful decor, and views in every direction. The kitchen is well-equipped and offers bar seating for quick bites and a separate dining area for family meals with a view. The cozy living room has plenty of seating and a mounted TV for movie nights or morning weather checks before heading out for beach adventures. Open the back door and step out onto the deck for peaceful marsh views and salty breezes—perfect for sipping coffee or watching boats cruise by.

The first floor features two of the three bedrooms. The first bedroom offers a flexible bedroom setup with a twin bed and pop-up trundle that converts into a king—great for kids or couples. The second bedroom features a queen bed. These two bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

From the second floor, head up the spiral staircase to find an office nook (ideal for a quick work check-in or online class), as well as the master bedroom with a private bathroom, featuring a queen bed and peaceful ambiance, ready for rest after a day in the sun.

Whether you're boating, beachcombing, or simply kicking back with your toes in the sand and a drink in hand, Sounds Like Fun is a laid-back escape that brings all the best parts of Topsail right to your doorstep.

Fishing Trip

We had a great time! The pier was perfect for fishing and the close proximity to the ocean was nice. The house was clean and whimsically decorated. There were some technical issues with the TVs (none were working) and there was poison ivy around the parking area. But other than that… it was a wonderful vacation!!

OK but minimally

Ants, even brought some home as a souvenir. About 1/4 of the window blinds were broken. Goodwill quality kitchen pots and pans. Refrigerator freezer didn’t, soft items from freezer, odd because ice maker made ice it just didn’t dispense it. All of the DVD players were broken, not just the remotes. Many lightbulbs missing or not working. Had tornado warning 1st day, fortunately we were at house to bring plastic deck furniture into house after wind nearly blew it off. Heavier rusted deck furniture didn’t move. Had to store personal kayaks and beach gear upstairs on 1st fl back deck to avoid exposure to street and possible theft. Detector of some kind in master bedroom had no cover, wires exposed, obviously inoperable. Someone needs to remove about 3/4 of random decorations starting with ALL of the tacky stuffed animals. Washer and dryer worked but top of dryer is rusted.

Only real complaint is that poison oak is growing on steps and back deck. And all blinds were broken.

TLC

Overall, the place provided all we needed. This rental is in desperate need of some updating, and upkeep. The refrigerator gets iced over and you have to unplug it to thaw so the fan runs again. The AC upstairs broke but property management came right out within the hour and fixed it. The walkway to the sound is overgrown. Downstairs TV cable never worked. Owners should invest in flat screen TV’S, as the box TV’s are dated. The comforters and sheets were clean and check in was a breeze. Nice big driveway for all cars and a boat.

Needs some TLC

The sound side location was good with close beach access as well. However, this property appears to have been neglected and could really use some TLC. Torn screens on the windows, broken patio furniture, rusted a/c vents and marks all over the walls just to start. We arrived to mildewed shower curtains and unwashed bath mats. I emailed the staff at the rental company for WiFi info which was not provided in the welcome info as indicated and when I finally received a response days later it wasn’t correct. We made the best of it but I would not recommend this listing.

Location was fabulous! Not too far from anything and perfect setting, either could sit near the sound side or cross the street and hang at the beach.

House in poor shape

Poor up keep on house and yard. Junk stored underneath. Decking board nails sticking up, screen torn. House shares 2nd floor deck, not good for dogs. No blind on back door so anyone staying next door could peek in. House needed painting inside badly. Had ants inside on countertops. Beds were without any doubt the worst ones I ever slept on. The spiral staircase to the master bed was hard to climb and descend. TV’s were super small. Had trouble with the master bedroom remote. Loved the Topsail beach area and restaurants.

Great location, outdated interior

The location of this house is really hard to beat. Having the dock on the inter coastal in the back and being right across the street from the beach is awesome. The interior is dated, could have used some updated kitchen utensils such as a regular skillet, tongs, etc. The beds/bedding is also pretty old but the space itself is nice. I also wish it had an outdoor shower, it would have helped cut down on the amount of sand tracked in the house. I would go back if for nothing else than the amazing location.
