This charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath Oceanfront beach bungalow sits in a quiet part of Topsail Island, surrounded by family owned properties. Convenient to shopping and restaurants, but far enough away to avoid beach crowds, and on a stretch of the beach sought by fisherman in the Fall. Beach-inspired decor. All furnishings stay. Fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer make Sea Esta rental ready; its proven rental history and positive renter feedback demonstrate continued rental income potential.
