Newly built in 2009, Pirates’ Playground Villa offers a rooftop pool, unique to Topsail Island, and a boat launch ramp in Galleon Bay, unique ocean-view community on a deep-water maritime canal with easy access to and unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.

There are eight bedrooms with seven full and two half bathrooms and beds for 34 with overflow capacity on rollaway beds, trundle beds, or sleeper sofas.

The main kitchen features two cook tops, two side-by-side refrigerators, two dishwashers, and a separate ice-making machine with an exceptionally large family style dining area for large groups and additional seating on the large porch off of the dining room.

The Great Room has a fireplace, large screen TV with surround sound. It also has a full-size pool table and poker table and dry bar. A second living room / game room with a full kitchen is located on the first floor.

There are two sets of washers and dryers.

This home has ceramic tile though out and is pet friendly for an additional charge of $200 per pet.

A second heated pool (in-ground, shared with 104 Bay Ct.) is heated  to 80 degrees in cool months (April, May, and October) at no charge and can also be heated to 90 degrees when it gets colder for an additional charge of $250.

There are swings galore and many amenities for toddlers and children that you won’t need to bring with you for easier packing.

Safety features include a metal escape ladder in every bedroom and an extensive hard wired smoke detector-smoke alarm system in each bedroom and living areas.

This home is designed for large families but other groups are welcome, including wedding parties and corporate business meetings and retreats.

Topsail Island offers places and activities for people of different ages with different interests. You can easily slip away for time alone or bring the family with you for great fun. There is something for everyone!

Pirates’ Playground Villa has a sister cottage next door, Boater's Launch  (104 Bay Court) with four bedrooms, two and one-half baths, and many of the same amenities (except no elevator and no pets) if you have a very large group plan and reserve early because Boaters Launch usually is booked for the summer by the end of January.

High energy sports available in the area include parasailing, scuba diving, jet skiing, tubing, cycling, and surfing. Near the high rise bridge is a large dirt bike run and a magnificent golf course at the North Shore Country Club. There are numerous other courses as well. No Smoking, Please.
