The house is the perfect size for a small family. Great location to everything and beautiful views. The house is decorated beautifully and has everything you need.
The home was inviting. We enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to know of construction going on next door. That was a bit of an inconvenience because of the noise so early in the mornings...vacations we tend to like to sleep in a little later than normal.. We loved the sleepy town feeling of the island. We would choose to stay here in the future once the construction is finished.
Beautiful home and excellent location. I messaged Lori several times before our stay with questions and she was always kind, helpful, and prompt in her response. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else! Thank you for an exceptional family vacation.
My family and I had a great vacation here! Very clean place complete with everything you need- including sand buckets, chairs, and boogie boards. Pet friendly, so even our family dog had a great time. The layout is ideal for young adults to have their own space on one level. We had a very relaxing vacation. Will definitely stay here again.
This is the second time we have time stayed here. We love this townhouse. It is beautiful, clean, and has a great ocean view with easy access to the beach. We will definitely be back again.
The house is very clean, beautifully decorated and equipped with more than everything you would need. The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The location also is great- right on the beach and very close to the center of Surf City, You can also pretty quickly get to both ends of the island.
By far our favorite house we've stayed in the Topsail/Surf City area; location is perfect! Breathtaking views from the top deck sun up to sun down; house was beautiful inside with that beachy feel you always look; Property manager was super friendly and responsive
We’ve stayed on Topsail before, but we really loved this spot! The house was perfect for our family. We hadn’t planned to max it out, but that’s how it worked out and we are so happy it could sleep 8!! We were comfortable and the beach was perfect. The owners were responsive and checked in with us. Thank you so much!
Lori and Dave were absolutely wonderful to work with and we loved their space and will definitely be back. The place was modern and comfy cozy. You could fully enjoy the beach just by sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean or walking a few steps to the beach itself.
Beautiful condo and location. Not crowded at all at the end of May. We felt like we were in our own little hideaway but were close to everything we wanted to do. Lori and David were great!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is decorated beautifully! The view of the ocean is spectacular. We will definitely come back. Also, Lori is fantastic!
We had a great stay at the Salty Peanut. It was a great location with plenty of bedrooms to fit the family. My only complaint wasn’t really their fault and probably turned out in our favor - new houses were being constructed next door. They started working around 7:30, but that meant we got up early to enjoy the blank spot left on the beach in front of the construction. :) Overall a wonderful week!
We stayed here a month and have zero complaints! The property is in a great location, so easy to walk the beach to all Surf City has to offer. Also just a quick drive over the bridge to breweries, restaurant, boutiques, and more. We watched the surf city fireworks from our deck and visited the beach daily since it was just out our doorstep. Our family of three had plenty of room and this place is so kid-friendly with the floor level bunk room. Wonderful. Already talking about when we can come back.
We found the house to be very clean, well organized, and very comfortable. I really enjoyed spending time on the upper deck with the ocean. We also found the house to be well supplied with extra beach chairs, umbrella, and other beach accessories. My only suggestion would be to update the furniture on the second deck, which I’m sure is on your list. Would definitely stay here again!!
We had an amazing stay at Lori’s house! It was perfect for six adults, two kids, & a small dog! If anyone has mobility issues, there are two sets of stairs that could be challenging. The setup with the outdoor shower and washer/dryer also being outside made it perfect for coming in off the beach and not trekking sand in the house! Everything we needed was provided except for beach towels and a beach bag! Lori was so kind that she even drove over two hours and brought us new chairs for the second level balcony because the others were not usable. The only other thing that would be nice is if there was more seating on the top level balcony because it’s a money spot - perfect for coffee, midday snacks, or after dinner drinks! Thanks so much for everything, Lori! It was the perfect getaway to one of our favorite places!
We had a wonderful stay at the Salty Peanut! The hosts were very responsive, answering all our questions promptly. The property matched the listing perfectly, with quick and easy ocean access and breathtaking views. We would stay again!
This beautiful home was perfect for our family with teens. Great location, great views. We loved going to the ocean each day. Highly recommend this ocean front home!
We loved our stay here. It had beautiful views and was only a few steps a way from the sandy beaches. All the amenities were top notch and updated. We are looking forward to staying here again.
Games for my granddaughter were appreciated . Wonderful walks on the beach, great restaurants and br
Fantastic experience.

Beautiful view! The best on the beach! Needs to improve maintenance and cleaning. Many areas needed upgrading, cleaning, or fixing. However, owner was very responsive to immediate needs.
The view was amazing, beds comfortable, and the home was well kept. We reached out to the host twice during our stay and they were very responsive, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was outstanding. We would definitely book again.
