The shore fluctuates rapidly, so get there while there's beach to walk on during low tide before it gets washed downstream again. The unit was immaculate. Murphy bed right next to the sliding glass door is a great perk. Like being on a private yacht at high tide. Plenty of nice touches and the rainshower showerhead with extra jets is a special bonus.

This condo was beautiful, clean, well stocked, comfortable and its balcony was right out over the sea where we could see the dolphins and birds playing every day! My wife and I had a lovely little getaway. It is within 15-20 minutes of lots of restaurants and shopping. It had a nice king sized bed (and a Murphy hideaway bed that we did not use). We’d definitely come back! ##### Jonathan H.

It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway! We even asked and got to stay an extra night for half off. Host was excellent. We did not even use the bed in the back room. You have everything you need and more AND we saw Dolphins every morning. !This is our forever NC beach spot ##### Kendra H.

We went on a girls trip and have nothing but good to say from check in to check out. Alan was easily available, the place was clean, had AMAZING views, and incredible location, and the list could go on and on. We did get to see the dolphins playing just outside our balcony. Was so cool to hear the waves of the ocean the entire stay and to be able to step out onto the beach at low tide was the best. There is also a beach located minutes up the road and a short drive down the other way. Great stay!! ##### Jenna H.

My husband and I came to the area to visit our son for Super Bowl weekend and stayed in N Topsail at By the Sea - Alan’s wonderful condo at Topsail Reef. We had an amaking experience from the time of booking till the day we left. Not only was the communication absolutely superb, the condo was pristine and comfortable, the online guide we received was incredibly helpful, and the check-in/out process was very clear and easy. With this condo being right on the ocean - the waves lulled us to sleep each night (in a king size bed to boot!) and the ease of getting to the beach made it the perfect getaway! We would absolutely recommend staying By the Sea and hope to be back again very soon! ##### Amy M.

The cozy space at By the Sea was perfect for the 2 of us! It might be a bit small with children but we loved it. The kitchen has nice appliances. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the ocean views from the deck, the living area, and even the kitchen table. Overall the space stayed cool in the July heat. However, the bathroom’s location made it steamy without leaving the door open during showers. Taking a small circulating fan would make a huge difference. Checkin was super easy! I would definitely recommend By the Sea! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle W. 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ocean front balcony This property was right on the ocean. High tides made it impossible to walk out to the beach. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the waves and tide, but we were limited to beach time. The kitchen had plenty of space and was well-equipped. The Murphy bed was easy to use and worked well for our teenager. The air conditioning units were noisy (mostly because they were working all the time due to the high heat). Property owner was good with communication. ##### Michelle W.

Thank you Alan and Paige for our wonderful stay at By The Sea. The condo was so convenient. You are literally steps away from the beach and the parking lot. It was so easy to carry our luggage, groceries, etc to the condo. Last year we stayed in this same area, but was on the third floor. Shewww the steps were tuff for us. The condo was decorated so beautiful. There was even a little Coffee Bar area. The Rain Shower was sweeeeet too !!! No need to worry about remembering your access code to your condo, it's the last four numbers of the phone number your reservations were made with. "WOW" how nice is this. There are four "nice" beach chairs on the deck for your convenience to use. Speaking of the deck, it is absolutely awesome to be that close to the ocean. The Super Moon view was spectacular. We can't say enough about By The Sea. We loved our time at this beautiful condo. ##### Lisa C. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ---
