Newly built, oceanfront home with multiple decks, sunrise views & beach access
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests. Be among the first to rent this newly constructed, oceanfront beach house! With multiple decks, gorgeous sunrise views, and direct access to the beach below, this is a place to make unforgettable memories.
This lovely home has been professionally decorated with a sense of cottage charm, craftsman finishes, porcelain tile flooring, shiplap walls, even an electric fireplace for cool coastal evenings. The reverse floor plan - anchored by a vaulted living, dining, and kitchen area - is great for entertaining and capturing the sweeping views of the ocean and sound. The well-equipped kitchen, with a center island, additional seating, and a pantry, will meet all of your dining needs.
The front porch provides seating and the opportunity to capture gorgeous views of the sound, the Intracoastal, and breathtaking sunsets. The private, oversize sundeck and gazebo built at the dune are the crown jewel of this property, providing direct, private access to the beach as well as a hot and cold water foot wash and showerhead to rinse off the day's sand. Enjoy sunbathing, relaxing, or entertaining on the large deck, escape the sun under the covered gazebo, watch the beach-goers below, or have meals or snacks at the picnic table. The sundeck and gazebo are accessible from all levels of the house.
This home sleeps 16, boasting three king oceanfront bedrooms with attached bathrooms and an oceanfront bedroom with one single bunk bed, one double bunk bed, and one double trundle. All four bedrooms have sliding glass doors to large decks and private access to the beach. Every guest gets a glorious sunrise, the best ocean and beach views, and sea breezes. The primary suite is located on the main floor, offering a sliding door to the expansive deck and an en suite bathroom featuring a tiled shower with a removable showerhead and double-bowl marble vanity.
In addition to the sundeck and gazebo, the decks off the bedrooms, living room, and dining room provide a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, loungers, and a swing. There are five TVs, cable service, high-speed internet, and a full-size washer/dryer. Under-house parking, a wet-weather entry, and an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water make escaping inclement weather a breeze.
So, please - come relax and enjoy your year-round escape to Gray Dolphin III on Topsail Island! We look forward to your stay and are sure you'll want to book a return visit.

Absolutely Perfect Beach Getaway
We had the most amazing time at this beach house! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was unbeatable—just steps from the sand with breathtaking ocean views. We loved sipping our morning coffee on the deck and watching the sunset in the evenings. The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Truly a perfect escape—we’re already planning our next trip back!

Watch out for the Ants
Overall, the house was lovely and in a fantastic location—perfect for enjoying the beach. However, it’s important to know that there are quite a few stairs, so guests should be comfortable with climbing them.
Unfortunately, during our stay, there was a significant ant problem. We found ants inside the house, and our vehicle became infested both inside and out. The issue persisted all week, and we were still finding ants in the car on the way home. Because of this, we couldn’t park near the house and had to leave our vehicle closer to the road to avoid the ants.
While we loved the house itself and its location, the ant situation really put a damper on what otherwise could have been a wonderful vacation. Hopefully, this issue can be resolved for future guests, as the property has so much potential to provide a great stay.
