Retirement Vacation

House was as described in the listing. I thoroughly enjoyed my extended five week stay. Kim was very responsive and accommodating throughout my stay. HVAC is brand new (during my stay) and works great. I would definitely return.

June vacation

This house has a good location. The kitchen had every pan and gadget you would need. It was the perfect size for the four of us. There was 3 beds upstairs if we needed them. Would love to stay here again.

July visit

Family of four enjoyed our visit in July. Love this section of Top Sail. Appreciated the beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards and extra beach towels that were available! No issues with home, just needed to buy trash bags and dishwasher soap, which I left for the next family.

Great find!

This house was a perfect find!! Just a short 2 minute walk to the beach in a stretch that seemingly was full of locals, we had a quarter mile of the beach to ourselves! The house was perfect for our needs, clean and when we had some trouble connecting to the wifi- the response was quick and the issue was troubleshooted. The hose/shower combo outside was wonderful to hose down the sand after the beach. Close to the park if you have kiddos, in a super dog-friendly area. Topsail is our new favorite place- and the house certainly helped us in the new ranking! We hopefully will be back to his house!

Location perfect

The location can't be beat. In-between public access 5 and 6. 2 min walk to beach. Playground within 2 min also. Had to communicate to locate grill and about missing basics like toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, paper towels that the cleaning crew claim to have left for us but weren't there. Walmart delivery came in handy. We stayed during hurricane Debby unfortunately not within control of anyone. We enjoyed our short stay and will be back.

Outdated But Affordable

Stepped back in time but it was clean and affordable. Bushes in driveway were extremely overgrown and if you drove into parking area under house they would scratch your vehicle. Made the owner aware and was quick to respond he would look into but they were definitely an issue. Good for the money and was close to the beach. Satisfied, but I’m a simple guy more hung up on price.

All you need!

This house is everything you need for a family at the beach. The little food mart, playground and trailer bar are a short walk away. The main thing is the ocean. The public beach access was closer but also more crowded on the beach so we chose to walk the other direction to set up our tent. At times there was no one near us on the beach. Choosing to do that made our walk further and by the end of the week I was kinda tired of the walk. It wasn’t too far at all. But walking it 3-4 times a day was a small issue. It was definitely worth the price and we had a great time. Love Surf City.

Need new window coverings for the bathrooms

The property was clean. The property managers were very responsive and check in was simple. Some of the furniture was a bit old but functional. One of the mattresses was very uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. My biggest complaint is that the shades covering the bathroom windows are useless at night. Anyone standing outside at night can clearly see everything. Be sure to cover the windows if you don’t want the neighbors watching you shower. I saw that this has been mentioned in other reviews but obviously has not been corrected. That’s why I gave an overall rating of 3 stars instead of 4. After getting an air mattress and covering the windows we enjoyed our stay.

July 2024 vacay

This was an overall great home for the price. Check in process was great! The location was good, close to the public access with just a short walk. The loft bedroom was bigger than I expected, it’s very spacious which the picture doesn’t really show. Clean and basically well maintained, but I only have one complaint/concern: Both bathrooms have shades that can be seen through from outside when the lights are on. This was very concerning for me as one bathroom faces the street with a very large window. We discovered this when my teenage son was in that shower and we were walking in from outside! We hung up a queen size sheet. I did send the owner a message and they were actually already aware but didn’t get around to changing them. I noticed that someone commented this last year as well.

Awesome vacation!

We vacationed in Surf City for the first time and it did not disappoint. We were looking for a pet friendly house that was close to the beach when we found Tom's listing. The house was the perfect size for me, my husband, our 3 kids and our 2 fur babies. The house is conveniently located between 2 public accesses and a park that my youngest loved. There is a small backyard which made it great for our dogs. Stores, bakery and restaurants were all close by. We had no problems with our check in other than the bathroom light not working. When we contacted Tom he replied quickly and came out that evening. We are looking forward our next visit and hope to book with him again. Tom and June were excellent hosts. Congratulations and we wish you both many blessings in your marriage. ~Michael, Jamie, Sarah, Rory, Avery and our fur babies Alice and Daisy
