Best birthday trip

I ended up having my original plans be messed up and tried to find a last minute booking and spoke with the owner on another plat form and he spent hours trying to help till eventually I booked it here and then helped walk me through the entire check in process and made the transaction from arriving to leaving one of the easiest ever. And now I am planning on going back for my friends next bday.

My favorite Topsail rental

Don’t hesitate to rent this house. This house is more like a home than a rental—beautifully decorated, within walking distance of everything, and a very large deck that feels like you’re almost sitting on the beach. The host goes out of his way to provide everything needed for a beach vacation and best part is the sheets are already on the bed. We hope to return many times.

Great house, great location, great setting

The house was very clean, comfortable and located within easy walking distance of a supermarket and restaurants. The views of the beach from the bedrooms, living room, dining room and spacious back patio were spectacular. The downstairs shower head had very little pressure (probably needs descaling) and the upstairs guest bathroom sink drained very slowly. Easy fixes and other than that, a perfect stay. Will definitely book again!

Treated Us Like Family

John, Kaley, and Christine went the extra mile to ensure we were taken care of every bit of the way. It really felt like we were staying at our close friends’/family’s place rather than a vacation rental. They were so hospitable and checked to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The property is beautiful and in a great location. Even the owners at the ice cream shop by the house said how great of a property it was. We were so thankful we got the opportunity to stay here (and you can’t beat the rate!) Kids are already asking to make this an annual thing. We hope to be back!

Wonderful Spring Break Trip

This house had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun spring break trip. The house location couldn't be better, and having the ice cream shop and shaved ice stores on the property were heaven to my kids (store hours were restricted due to off-season dates, but during prime time, we would've been there daily). Being able to lookout at the ocean from the deck hot tub was amazing, and we loved the easy access to the beach. The house has everything you could need - towels, linens, kitchen necessities, beach chairs, newer appliances, etc. The basement bunk bed and sofa bed are dated and a bit wobbly, but our kids didn't mind. The temperature differences between the basement and the upstairs were a bit off but having 2 thermostats remedied that problem. The owners and manager were great communicators, and we truly loved our stay!

YOU ASKED

Well let's see, your beds was super super comfy!! Love the quilt from the kids room. I took that from the kids, I was called meaning. You had everything imaginable in the kitchen, nice frig. I totally loved being in the hot tub and seeing and hearing the ocean, so relaxing. No sand on the floors. The decking around your property was excellent as well, such easy access to the beach. Now lets talk about location location location… I looked out the kitchen window toward the mainland and saw a Christmas Tree and when I looked out toward the ocean I saw another Christmas Tree on the pier. It took me all of seven seconds to get to either ice cream shop!!!!! Now does it get any better than that??? People you will totally enjoy this property. I would love to come back in the summer!!

Everlasting Memories

I cannot say how much my family loved this place. Waking up and drinking coffee as I watched my kids on the beach searching for shells is priceless. We came in November and the weather was perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked which made it easy to make family meals. I plan on coming back for sure to make more memories.

Amazing

We spent 6 days here and just really loved the location and house. Actually, hired a photographer to take some pics at the house and pier. John and Christine were amazing and every question I had was answered within 10 min. Those questions were all do to user error. LOL Honestly, the best location I've every stayed at. 12 steps to the beach. We had so much fun together, we never even left the deck, house or beach until the last day. Can't go wrong with this place. PS. There is an coffee shop / Ice-cream and flavor ice store at the end of the drive way. . Make sure you bring a few bucks as my 8 year old made me go each day. LOL. Sometimes twice a day . I wish I could attach some of the pics we took. 5 stars

Walk out to Paradise

The location is what makes this property so great! As soon as you walk out onto the balcony the beach and pier are right there! The house itself is nice but we came specifically for the views, waves and sun so most of our time was spent outside. We really appreciated having the beach chairs and boogie boards for use. When the clouds started to roll in it was relaxing to get into the hot tub and still be a part of the scenery. A few small issues were that some of bowls and glasses that were put away in the cabinets. A bowl that still had old crusted on food in it and lipstick on the rim of 2 of the wine glasses. The Kureig Coffee machine also had not been cleaned in a long time. The water tank does have to be scrubbed out every other week or so because there was green slime at the bottom. All the downfalls were fixable and we did not let it ruin our time. Just something to improve upon. But we would hope to be welcome back again as we were all enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

Awesome location and property!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The ice cream (every flavor we tried was great!!) and shaved ice so close with amazing beach access in the back made it the perfect getaway. Walkable to lots of dinner options. Plenty of space for a big crew, lots of towels and comfortable beds. Right by the pier. We spent a lot of time on the back deck just hanging out. Hot tub with an ocean view is great. Easy and fast communication with manager. Would love to stay here again sometime.

AMAZING would stay again

Wen over thanksgiving for a girls weekend. We are in our 40’s and planned to stay low key. This house was everything we wanted and more. You could not have asked for anything better. All bed were so nice and soft. Layout of the house was perfect for girls getaway or a large family. But the star of the show was the hot tub in the front deck as you listened to the waves and watched dolphins!!!! On-site property manager was very responsive and helpful. The only thing I would suggest is a TV for the master bedroom. Every room had one except that room. That was about all this house lacked. It was well stocked from the kitchen to the linen closets. It was well labeled as well. We had everything we needed.
