Kayaks, Pool, & Boat Dock - Waterfront home Queen's Grant

Located in the gated Queens Grant community, The Canal House is an immaculately clean and stylishly furnished 3 bed/3 bath townhome ready to host you and your family. Sandwiched between the Ocean and the Sound directly on a canal, you truly get the best of everything!

A twin bedroom and full bathroom with walk-in shower, along with a spacious living area, kitchen, deck, and sound access are the highlights of the first floor. As the end unit, the living area is full of great light and an unimpeded view directly out to Topsail Sound!

Up the stairs, you'll find the owner's suite with it's own deck and the same great view of Topsail Sound, as well as an en suite bathroom with walk-in dual head shower boasting a river rock floor. The 3rd bedroom includes a queen bed and en suite bathroom with a bathtub/shower combo.

Outdoors, you can enjoy the sun and views from the deck in the Owner's Suite, or sit, eat and relax in the shade of the deck on the first floor. A patio under the first floor deck includes more shaded seating, a porch swing, a grill and a drop-down table for outdoor eating...we recommend laying down some newspaper and dumping out a large low country boil or steam pot to enjoy with friends and family.

Steps from the deck/patio you'll have deep water sound access from the canal. The "day" docks are perfect for mooring your boat during your stay, while the floating dock offers a perfect spot to put in a kayak, canoe, or paddle board. If you bring a boat, Queens Grant has its own private boat ramp and trailer parking/storage that you are welcome to use during your stay. You can be out of your bed, on the boat tied in the canal, and on your way to your favorite fishing spot in a matter of minutes each morning.

A newly renovated pool and clubhouse just a few steps out the door provide a place to hangout for those less interested in the salt water adventures. Plenty of chairs and tables for enjoying a day by the pool, and a playground and basketball court are nearby for fun and games as well.

All of that, and the main attraction, the beach, is still just a few steps away. Load up our beach cart and head just past the pool to the Queens Grant beachfront property where you'll enjoy private access to the beach. Spend all day lounging in the sand and then come back home to the soundside for dinner and sunset views over the water. It's the best of both worlds!

We do have security cameras on the property, one located in the carport with a view of the driveway and street, and another on the back deck with a view of the sound and canal. The cameras are all aimed towards public areas of the neighborhood and do not view or monitor any spaces that our guests would be using privately. They are used only to check weather conditions and to confirm the presence of our cleaning and maintenance partners between guest visits.

Sound Side - Perfect Location
What an amazing vacation at Canal House in Queens Grant! The house was super clean and spacious for our teen boys, my in-laws and us. The house is close enough to walk to the beach, but the sound side daily fishing (catch and release) for my boys was awesome! None of us used the community pool or other community amenities. The evening sunsets were spectacular, and we were able to see a few nights of the full, red moon. The boys and my hubby enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards. We ate out at Shaka Taco and Beach Shop and Grill, but cooked in the rest of the time. Plenty of markets for groceries and fishing supplies. Elisabeth was super helpful and quick to respond! It was a much needed, quiet, low-key vacation spot! Lots of fun and great memories were made at Canal House.💕

Wonderful Visit and will be returning
We had an incredible time at this home! From the moment we arrived, it was clear the host had thought of everything. The home was immaculately clean and well stocked, making us feel instantly at ease. The booking process was seamless, thanks to the host's quick and helpful response. One of the highlights was being able to park our boat right outside in the canal. This convenience allowed us to hop on and explore the waterways and nearby islands with ease. The kayaks and paddle boards provided were a huge hit and added an adventurous element to our daily activities. We found ourselves exploring new islands and sandbars, creating unforgettable memories along the way. A standout evening was when we used the seafood boil table for a classic low country boil. It was not only delicious but also a fun and interactive way to enjoy a meal together as a family. Overall, this home and its perfect location provided everything we needed for a fantastic family vacation. Whether you're looking for relaxation on the water, fishing, playing on the beach, or adventures exploring nearby islands, this property delivers. It truly exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to return!

Hopefully Will Return
My family had a fantastic stay at this location. Easy walk to the pool and beach. Short drive or bike ride to South Topsail where there are restaurants, a pier, a skating rink, coffee shop and more. Queens Grant feels very safe and all the renters/owners we met were so kind. The townhome is very well stocked. My husband didn’t stay the whole time and actually took some of the extra stuff we brought home. There are plenty of beach towels, kitchen utensils and cookware (we’ve all stayed at that place that considered cookware one pot and one pan), but not here. They had boogie boards, kayaks, and paddle boards to use. They also had baby gates which was helpful for keeping our dog on the patio while enjoying playing games or reading books on it. The place was just as described, quite possibly better. Very clean and well thought out. Some of the places we visited that we enjoyed the most are Daily Grind (coffee, donuts, pastries), Santorinis (lasagna, calamari, chicken parm), and Surf City Pier (fishing, socialization, BLTs and breakfast burritos). I do just want to make you aware that the stairs can be a lot especially the outdoor plus the indoor if you are in and out frequently. My mom hurt her knee shortly before the trip and ended up staying in the smaller room on the main floor to avoid having to do so many. Honestly though pretty much anything on Topsail Island has stairs so there is no real avoiding it. Wouldn’t keep us from returning.

Fall getaway
We stayed with two of my adult children and their dog and the house was the perfect size for our family. The view of the canal, sound, and beautiful houses greeted us every morning and was so relaxing to look at. The ocean was only a short walk across the street and we enjoyed shell and shark tooth hunting every day. The drive to Serenity point was very short and we went to the south end several times. We would definitely book this property again! My only request (and its a small one) would be a gate for the deck for the dog, or small children. We made a make shift one so he could enjoy being out with us unleashed when we sat at the table. Overall perfect vacation!

We booked a last minute stay and we’re so fortunate to find the Canal House ! It was a perfect fit for me, my wife, our 3 teens and our dog. Everything was as described or better. Even the neighbors were great! The paddle boards were fun for us all. Elisabeth is an excellent communicator and was very prompt to get all of my questions answered. The space is well thought out and labels throughout were a nice touch. Oh and don’t miss a sunset during your vacation!

Wonderful place and location!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Canal House. Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful at responding to all my questions. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with just about everything you need. She even had a tea kettle which was awesome because I usually always have to bring my own. We had a great time having our meals out on the deck overlooking the canal and the sound. We took the kayaks out one time and saw dolphins only a few feet away from us! It was so amazing!! I loved being able to jump in the pool only a few steps away if I didn't feel like going to the beach. The reason I am rating this 4 star instead of 5 is because I had to fight with the blinds in the master bedroom every night. I am used to a dark room and since the blinds were broken it was hard to situate them where the street light from across the canal was not shining in my eyes all night. Needless to say I did not get much sleep the whole week. The mattress is not very comfortable as well. Other than that we enjoyed our stay very much!

This was out 9th year on Topsail Island and it was also our 25th anniversary so we stayed for 2 weeks at The Canal House. The house was clean and it was the perfect location for our group. We had access to the canal with our boat out back, the pool, and the beach-- nice options to accommodate everyone. The hosts were very timely in response to questions. We enjoyed our stay.
