Positioned just steps from the sand and only moments from the community pool, this furnished getaway offers the best kind of beach lifestyle: relaxed, low-maintenance, and wonderfully uncrowded. The community offers a more relaxed, low-density coastal atmosphere compared to many larger beach developments, while the beach itself provides a sense of calm and coastal solitude that's becoming harder to find.

Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with painted vanities, wainscoting accents, and upgraded flooring upstairs, creating a fun coastal vibe that feels both inviting and current. Outdoor spaces are just as important at the beach, and this owner didn't skip a beat. All pickets on the four decks have been replaced (which will be painted soon) , and underneath the unit you'll find convenient beach storage hooks and shelving for chairs, toys, and gear making cleanup after a sandy beach day quick and easy.

Unit 1413 at Shipwatch Villas is not just a penthouse, it is the penthouse. The original. Owned since 1984 by the very first resident to call this building home, a founding member of the HOA who helped shape the community that surrounds it, and now, for the first time in four decades, available to someone new. Step inside and feel it immediately. Soaring vaulted ceilings and transom windows flood the top floor with the quality of coastal light that only this level can access. Bird's eye view of the Atlantic Ocean AND the complex oceanside pool. Rattan furnishings, sailing ships, coastal art, and the kind of carefully curated vintage beach aesthetic that designers spend years trying to recreate, and never quite do, fill every room with a warmth and character that zero other units in this building can claim. This home was loved. It shows in every corner. Two spacious bedrooms. Two full baths. An open living and dining space anchored by those signature penthouse ceilings that stretch toward the sky. Private oceanfront balcony with direct access from both the living room and the primary bedroom, the sound of the Atlantic is never more than a few steps away from wherever you are. And because this was always a cherished personal retreat, never once offered as a rental in forty years of ownership, it arrives in pristine, meticulously maintained condition that will stop buyers mid-tour. When the evening calls for dinner out, Ocean's Edge Restaurant and Aarr Pirate Bar at the St. Regis Resort are a short walk up New River Inlet Road. Panoramic oceanfront dining and sunset cocktails without moving your car. The community delivers the rest: an oceanfront pool, direct private beach boardwalk access, outdoor grilling areas, rinse-off shower station, pet-friendly policy, and elevator service to every floor. There are newer penthouses at Shipwatch Villas. There are renovated penthouses. But there is only one original, only one unit that has watched this community grow from its very first day, cared for by the hands that helped build it. Unit 1413 is not a flip. It is not a project. It is forty years of coastal living distilled into one extraordinary top-floor address, offered now, with great care, to whoever falls in love with it next. Professional photos in the coming days.

What is it like to own an oceanfront penthouse condo on Topsail Island, North Carolina? This is the answer. Topsail Island is a 26-mile barrier island along the southeastern North Carolina coast, named in the days of piracy when buccaneers would hide their ships behind the dunes and merchant vessels could see only the tops of their sails. That history of hiding something extraordinary behind an unassuming exterior has never felt more appropriate than it does at Unit 1412 in Shipwatch Villas, a fully renovated top-floor penthouse with skylights, volume ceilings, dual water views, and two private balconies at one of the most recognized addresses on the island. North Topsail Beach carries a town motto of Nature's Tranquil Beauty, and it earns it. Located on the northernmost 11 miles of Topsail Island, the town is known for being laid back and peaceful, with breathtaking Atlantic sunrises, spectacular Intracoastal sunsets, and maritime forests that feel genuinely untouched. North Topsail Beach consistently attracts buyers who want to maximize their coastal experience without paying the higher premiums seen in more commercialized destinations. Unit 1412 is the penthouse that earns that description in full. Skylights exclusive to this floor pour natural light into every room from above. Volume ceilings amplify that light in a way no lower unit can replicate. The primary suite faces east for Atlantic sunrise views every morning. The guest suite faces west toward the Intracoastal Waterway for sunset views every evening. Two private balconies connect you to both. A complete renovation delivers brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated bathrooms with solid surface countertops, a refreshed kitchen with stainless appliances, and fresh paint throughout. Every room is ready. Nothing is waiting for you. From this address you are steps from direct private beach boardwalk access, an oceanfront community pool with sundeck, and tennis courts, and minutes from the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center and Seaview Fishing Pier, one of the longest piers on the North Carolina coast. Surf City waterfront dining and Wilmington's historic downtown are both within easy reach. Shipwatch Villas is now VA approved. Qualified veterans, active duty service members, and military retirees can purchase using VA financing with little to no down payment and no private mortgage insurance required. Contact a VA-approved lender for current rates and terms. Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River, MARSOC, and Stone Bay are all within comfortable reach. This unit has never been in a rental program, zero rental wear, zero deferred maintenance, and a completely clean slate for whoever comes next. Whether you are looking for a short-term vacation rental investment, a long-term rental income property, a primary coastal residence, or a lock-and-leave second home, this penthouse delivers on every front. Topsail Island short-term rental revenue has grown 17 to 26 percent year over year and comparable oceanfront units generate strong seasonal income. Never rented means you design the program, keep the first season, and build the reputation from a pristine starting point. The number of miles of Topsail Island coastline does not increase. The number of penthouse units with skylights at Shipwatch Villas does not increase. Demand from relocation buyers, military families, retirees, and investors continues to grow. That is the investment case. Top floor. Skylights. Renovated. Two elevators service the complex. Pool. VA approved. Topsail Island.
