Beautiful views of the ocean and intercoastal waterway. Lots of room in the cottage. The furniture is a little worn, but cozy. Great pots, pans, knives, and dishes!! Grill is good. Only negatives are lots of steps and there is not adequate parking for the size of the cottage. If your party has more than three cars, there is not enough room. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20650ad9-9d1f-4b8f-b215-fefe38b975e4-1757197275341.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dfc2f028-3949-48e4-8869-a8b4905feecf-1757198591612.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Randall Q. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### John S. 4 Oct 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy The kitchen was not clean-food splatter inside microwave, pans in cupboard with stuck on food. Bathroom towels felt gritty with soap residue and bed linens of poor quality. This house has a lot of wear and tear. Photos were misleading as the interior needs a fresh coat of paint. The balconies on street side were stained with algae and driveway had missing gravel. For the money, we certainly expected more. ##### John S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward L. 30 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Topsail Visit The beach views and the recent work on the multiple decks overlooking the beach made our stay memorable. Interior is a bit tired. Leaky toilets and sink faucets, non working bath faucet on second floor tub, barbecue grill not cleaned since last season. Ants in kitchen, and large cockroach in one of baths is not unexpected in a beach property. Just think it’s time to spend some attention on the interior. Did I mention that the decks are spectacular (including the furniture)? ##### Edward L. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nancy L. 24 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### House was not Clean The house was not clean, and the furniture was very worn.\` ##### Nancy L.

Icemaker worked but did not stop working. Gas Grill was terrible. The house had a wonderful view, but the inside of the home was tired and need of an update. ##### Gary B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie L. 31 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything we hoped it would be! The view and the proximity to the ocean was exactly what we wanted! I could sit on the deck and watch my kids play in the sand and shell for hours. They loved it. We watched dolphins playing and birds fishing. It was perfect. The kitchen at this property was one of the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever stayed at - which you don’t realize is so important until you find yourself looking for normal size bowls or cooking pans. Also….and this may sound random….but they have every light switch labeled. This is huge when you are in a new place and just want to turn off a light or a fan. I thought it was so smart. Thanks for giving my kids a fabulous first trip to the beach!! ##### Julie L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn B. 30 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful ocean views Excellent location. Loved the views from the main living area and deck. The cottage was spacious and well-designed for families. ##### Kathryn B.

Everything was exactly as advertised. The location, house and amenities were wonderful. Our stay was perfect. The only negative comment I could make would be the barbecue. We didn’t plan on using it, but if we had, we would not have used it. Needs to be upgraded. ##### Nancy R. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack D. 2 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent property Our family has been vacationing at TopSail for 20 years. This was our first stay at this specific property but we have rented the same model house before at different address. The photos and floor plan accurately reflect the property. The house is very well maintained, well furnished and - important to me personally - has a well equipped kitchen and deck furniture. Very good quality TV/AV set up on living room and den. No TVs in bedrooms - no issue for us since everyone has their personal screens. Highly recommended this property. ##### Jack D. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb R. 11 Jun 2017 #### Loved being on the beach with shaded and sunny decks! This was our first visit to Topsail. We will return! Family and dog friendly, good beach, great walking and the sea glass is awesome! ##### Deb R. Stayed 7 nights in May 2017 ---
