Experience unparalleled marsh views that extend out to the Intracoastal Waterway! In a prime location, this amazing retreat is within a quick walk or bike ride of public beach access. Spanning three levels of inviting living space, this stilt home wows with multiple balconies and marsh views on each floor. Under the carport, a gas grill and outdoor shower are perfect for rinsing off and grilling out after a fun day at the beach. Added perks include access to a community dock and swimming pool, or you can rent the private golf cart and cruise Surf City or take a one-minute drive to the closest beach access. Dine out or pick up groceries without using the main road. Occupying the entire top floor, the opulent primary suite is a true showstopper. Highlights include an en suite bathroom and two furnished balconies - one with marsh views and the other with peekaboo ocean views. An office nook is ideal for working remotely and includes a desk and two armchairs. Kid-friendly amenities include a crib, stroller, toys, and age-appropriate dinnerware.

Nice space and view, but microwave doesn’t work & house has black mold.
The house has nice space and layout, and the view of the sound from the decks is pretty. But…first thing Sunday morning we discovered the microwave in the house doesn’t work. I called and messaged Vacasa immediately and multiple times all during the week about the non-working microwave. (My vacation time was wasted attempting to get a working appliance.) The half bath that’s adjacent to the kitchen has black mold on the walls and ceiling. There are some other areas that also have some mold on the ceilings. The bottom bunk bed in the children’s bedroom is unstable and dangerous. We had a 2 year old sleeping on that bed. Any larger child would have serious issues sleeping on that bed. We have been very disappointed with Vacasa and will never rent any property managed by this company again. There was a lack of any sense of urgency to provide us with a working microwave, and I was lied to by a Vacasa representative on Wednesday, who told me the microwave issue would be resolved on Thursday. A Vacasa representative called me on Friday afternoon, and said I would receive a $50 refund for the microwave issue. I have requested more of a refund, due to the other issues.

Stunning views, cleanliness not so much
The view off the back deck is the reason we stay here. Stunning sunsets. I'm not happy with Vacasa as a whole. The house was not clean. Bathroom rugs were dirty, stair handrail was sticky. lots of dirt and dust under furniture. Bathroom toilets not clean. We did rent the golf cart but there was no instruction given on how to locate the key or unlock it from the cable tying it to the post. I have rented this house 3 other times but directly from the owner. It was sold and now vacasa handles the rentals. I've been disappointed with vacasa in the past with the cleanliness of their rentals. I was unaware that vacasa managed this house as I rented thru vrbo but after paying my deposit, vacasa sends email thanking me for the booking. It was too late at that point.

Best marsh views and Sunsets!
Home was wonderful, with some of the best views I’ve ever had from a rental property! The kitchen was well stocked but a bit unorganized. Short walk to the beach and tons of restaurants close by

Beautiful sunsets!
We were happy to find this home for 2 nights in the middle of the week! It had everything we needed. Incredible views out the back over looking the ICW. Just a short walk to the beach and a short drive to town.

Perfect location & amazing water views!
This home in Topsail was perfect for our family. Great spaces, well laid out, nicely decorated & well stocked with everything we needed and more! We lived all of the decks around the house and The deck out back was perfect for watching sunsets every night. The location was perfect with a short walk to the beach and the golf cart was a nice convenience for exploring the town. We would definitely stay here again.

Family retreat
When we arrived the code to the house was incorrect . It took us over an hour to contact someone to get us into the house . After that it went well . The house is perfect for a large group . The view of the marsh is beautiful! The house was clean but lived in looking which was fine for us . The walk to beach is close but the road is very very busy and cars do not slow down . We had young children and two small dogs with us so that was a concern . Beach is great ! One mile walk to the pier . I wouldn’t recommend the golf cart . We found it unnecessary. The pool was nice . The kids loved it . Overall it was great and I would recommend staying here !
