Livin’ on a Prayer – Rock the Beach Life

Welcome to the beach! You will be warmly greeted upon your arrival with a spectacular view of the ocean. With this "H" style house plan, the great room, located in the center of the home, is wide open with the kitchen, dining, and living areas providing the best views, light, and gathering center for your entire family. No sacrifices here, enjoy beauty and fellowship all vacation long!

Your fully equipped kitchen awaits you at the entryway of Livin' on a Prayer along with the dining area. Family-style seating is provided with a great picnic-style dining table. Located to the right of the dining room, is the separate laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. This area is perfect for storing beach toys and cleaning up after a long day in the surf.

Along the oceanfront side of the home, you will relax and enjoy the dolphins and birds from the comfortable living area. Comfortable seating with a couch (queen sleeper), a love seat, and a chair with an ottoman. The entertainment center houses a large television with a DVD player and VCR. To the right of the living area is the Master Suite. An oversized room with cathedral ceilings with exposed hardwood beams creates a spacious and relaxing atmosphere for a vacation within a vacation. You will enjoy the sunrise views from the oceanfront windows along with the king-sized bed. There is also a large flat-screen TV with cable, a Bluray player, a window seat, and a large closet. The sink and mirror area is separate from the tub/shower area of the room saving you preparation time and maximizing your time on the sand.

The two other bedrooms are located on the north side of the home. The second bedroom is an oceanfront room with a queen bed. The third bedroom is located on the street side of the home and contains a pyramid Bunk bed, with a queen on the bottom and twin on top as well as a love seat that folds out to a Twin sleeper sofa. As an added bonus to this room, guests can enjoy the wall-mounted Flat-screen TV while battling it out on the PS3! Games and controllers are provided* but you are welcome to bring your own as well. The owners of this fantastic home know that packing all the "gear" you need with kids can take up a lot of space in the car so they have provided a pack-n-play, a tabletop high chair, a changing pad, and kid-size fold-away bed for guest use.

Focusing on what you have come here for, Livin' on a Prayer has a spacious oceanfront deck with plenty of seating, an outdoor shower, and views galore. Enjoy your coffee in the morning or take a stroll on the miles of sandy beach as the waves crash at your feet. Enjoy your family, friends, and your vacation at Topsail Island at Livin' on a Prayer! You will make memories of a lifetime and have your special time here year after year!

Fantastic beach week stay

Livin On A Prayer is a great little spot. Could not be closer to the surf. Very well laid out property with unusually roomy living area in the center, comfortable beds and bathrooms on each side but with their own ocean views. Kitchen was very adequate, although if planning anything above and beyond, bring your own equipment. For most, it has everything you would need. Living room was much larger than I thought, most of the time the pictures make it look larger than it really is, but not here, very roomy. Very clean, hardwoods throughout made even easier to keep clean while there. Perfect views from the deck. Could perhaps use an extra chair or two out there, although it does have a small picnic table with bench seating Overall, a fantastic property. We will be back for sure.

Thanksgiving at the beach!

Livin' On A Prayer is a wonderful beach property. The location, the ocean views/access, and the layout of the beautifully renovated home were all excellent. Our family of 7 enjoyed one of our best Thanksgivings this year, and this lovely property played a big part in it. Highly reccomend!

Great Location!

We couldn’t have asked for a better location and constant view of the ocean. The house overall was cute and met our needs with a couple of exceptions. The stove/oven seemed to be going out and the shower heads were in dire need of replacement.

Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The location on the beach was perfect! It wasn’t crowded at all, and is just a few miles from restaurants and grocery stores. I didn’t rate it a 5 only because there’s a charge for even basic supplies. Towels, sheets, even trash bags. I don’t agree with that at all. Other than that…awesome place!

Already plotting to come back

Wonderful. Excellent location on the beach that makes you feel, smell, and hear the ocean all day every day--a delight. Looks recently renovated, and they did a great job. The only "complaint" we had is that we'd really loved to have two more deck chairs. ;)

Wonderful Spring Break!

Unbelievable location and view! My husband and I had a great week here. The house was clean and we loved walking just steps down to the beautiful beach and ocean. Most days it seemed like we had our own private beach. We definitely plan to return to Livin' On A Prayer!

Family reunion over Labor Day

We had a great time and everyone said they would come back and rent again. What I loved was the two main bedrooms each had sliders out to the deck. Big open kitchen into living room and windows all across the wall facing the ocean so you had great views anywhere you sat. It’s an older home with a cottage feel to it.

Fantastic Location

The location makes this place! Just a few quick steps down off the deck and you’re on the beach. It’s also fairly close to groceries, restaurants, and shops. The bathrooms are both quite small, especially if sharing with family/friends. Overall we had an amazing time!

On the Atlantic Ocean (Literally)

Excellent location on the Oceanfront. 40 foot and your feet were touching the water. (PERFECT!) The home was nice, typical house rental, nothing fancy and everything you need for a relaxing time. We had one minor issue with our home, but not impacting to us in anyway. I contacted the property management and made them aware so they could fix/replace the item at the end of our stay. We definitely recommend and would/will stay again. Thank you.

Perfect open cottage for chilling at the beach

We really enjoyed the open concept of this home and the spectacular ceilings just draw you in. The large table served as puzzle station and dining table. The location and views were spectacular and just far enough away from the busier areas of the beach. All the amenities for cooking were there as well. A few extra lamps would be nice for the bedrooms. All in all it was the perfect get-a-way for us and the weather could not have been better.

Outstanding location and layout

The house is right on the beach with a deck and stairs leading down to the beach. Loved the layout - plenty of dishes, silverware and glasses. Seafood tools too! There is a nice set of heavy/high beach chairs (not in pics) as well an opening for umbrella insertion in the picnic table. Inside central air augmented with some window units - stayed very cool despite the vaulted ceilings. The furniture has been updated from the pics and there is a new stove with a ceramic top. Bonus that it survived Hurricane Isaias. The only downside was a lack of communication between the homeowner and Lewis realty when repairman came to fix the oven and the hurricane clean-up.
