Lovely place, exactly as advertised. The neighborhood is quiet and residential with easy access (walkable) to public beaches. We enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views over water just minutes from our “home” for our short visit. Beds were comfortable too! Thanks, Sara, fot a great experience!
Most relaxing vacation getaway we all have had in a while. Very welcoming community. People were very friendly. Beaches were fantastic and water was blue and warm. Even saw a baby turtle make it to the ocean. Rental was very comfortable and clean. Host was fantastic and addressed all our needs. Very nice individual!
This was the first trip to Topsail for my wife and I as well as our one year old son’s first time at the beach. The property location really couldn’t have worked out better, it’s right by a public access and a short drive to any restaurant. This property was cozy for the three of us. We had excellent and fast communication with the owner and the check in process was a breeze. We did forget to sign the guestbook :( Thank you for making our stay pleasant.
Very cute, super clean, close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The host thought of everything and takes pride in her home. Will definitely book again!
It was a super clean space & my family really enjoyed our stay. We walked almost every where we needed to go: to dinner, the beach, the park! Loved the outside hang-out area, as well.
The property was perfect! Sara was great and we are already planning out next visit. Thank you!

Great location but mold & pests
The house smells of mold has an air freshener running at all times. We found 3 cockroaches while cleaning up and packing this am.
Their is no toaster and minimal supplies. My hubby has a mold allergy and was sick the entire time. I took photos and sent to vrbo. There was no directions or lists helping new comers to this location.
This house was perfect for a trip with my 7 year old granddaughter. We travel to Topsail twice a year and the size and location were perfect. I appreciated the comfortable beds, the quality sheets and towels provided and the many kitchen extras to include bottled waters, sugar, tea, and seasonings. The streaming devices available on the tv was also a plus as was the short walk to the beach and nearby shops.
Property was perfect for our needs. Located walking distance to public beach access and a few restaurants & shopping. Quiet neighborhood, perfect for a relaxing getaway.
We had a wonderful vacation. The house was cozy and comfortable. The short walk to the beach made it very easy to go back and forth for lunch and morning runs. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We ate in every meal but one and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking, even had plastic dishes with lids to save left overs. Sara was quick to respond or help with any questions we had. She also thought of little touches that were very helpful like labels on the light switches and plenty of room for charging your devices. We will definitely come back in the future.
This place was exactly what my family and I were looking for. It was clean, quiet, had everything we needed, and the beach was about a 3-minute walk away. We'll be back!
