So happy we discovered the Scooby Shack on VRBO! The house was clean, tastefully furnished and decorated, and has the perfect layout. We ate lunch on the back deck every day and did not have to worry about our dogs because of the puppy/baby gate. Beach access was so easy! King size bed was wonderful! Dining table was big enough to do a 1000 piece puzzle on! The Scooby Shack checked all the boxes for us! ##### Ava B.

This beach cottage was adorable and it was perfect for our family of 3 plus our dog. We loved the decks, outdoor shower, area under the house and the close beach access. The extra 1/2 bath was great to have and I was really impressed with how everything was organized in a small area. The home does not feel small. We honestly wanted for nothing during our trip. Tara has thought of pretty much everything. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a great trip! ##### Elizabeth A.

Our stay at the Scooby Shack was just perfect. The condo was very clean and full of charm. We went to the beach for most of the weekend - it was a very short five minute walk. It was awesome to have the outdoor shower to use after the beach to ensure we did not track sand upstairs. We really enjoyed several of the restaurants in Surf City - Shaka Taco, Topsail Steamer, The Daily Grind, and Sear’s Landing. Thank you Tara for your hospitality and for sharing your lovely condo with us! We cannot wait to return again! ##### Rachael H.

Great use of space- every nook and cranny is used to optimal efficiency. The king bed is very comfortable. The kitchen has everything we needed, and its nice to have sheets and towels provided. It's quick and easy to get to the beach. We were so happy to be able to bring our cockapoo, and she felt very comfortable there. We definitely will stay there again if we return to NorthTopsail. ##### Karen H.

Linens ✔️bath towels ✔️ beach towels ✔️ air conditioning to freeze the Lut Desert ✔️ hot water to sterilize your micro biome ✔️ WiFi throughout even on decks ✔️ plenty of parking ✔️ indoor full tub, outdoor shower, beach supplies, stocked kitchen… ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ The list goes on and on…and don’t get me started on the beach access— right across the street— as in walk off the back deck across the small yard and cross the street to enter the beach path!! Property employs a great economy of space although the bunk style beds might be more comfortable for youth than full size adults. The Scooby Shack has TWO decks and is a hop skip and a jump to the beach so the smaller sleep areas were no issue for us—we were too busy enjoying everything outside! The complex across the street has two restaurants and an ice cream shoppe. You could not be better situated to disappear on a beach vacay and have everything right at hand! Recommend this property and would love to return!!! (read the description so you see the compact layout - king bed is a BIG bed but the bunks are smaller - fit a 5’8” medium build adult but the 5’10” was a bit cramped) Side note-\*there is a fire house next door— heard a siren/horn or two during the stay but nothing excessive or disruptive ##### deirdri f.
