But for serious water pressure issues, we would have been pleased with our spacious accommodations at Sea-renity at North Topsail Beach. However, our stay was marred by lack of water coming from the tap and shower in the master bedroom upstairs and sometimes down. There was none on 2 or 3 days. That meant, the two women on the top level had to come downstairs to shower and wash up in the other bathrooms or use the outdoor shower. This was disruptive for our party of four. We reported the problem to the owner, who, though she responded quickly, could do nothing to ease the situation. I suspect that lots of new construction on the island has overwhelmed the infrastructure. Still, a known problem should have been revealed to us.
The owner was helpful in providing beach chairs and an umbrella before our arrival after we asked about their availability.
Our bedrooms were clean and spacious, and the kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils though we wish there had been a blender that we could have used for morning smoothies and evening cocktails.
Be warned if you are in the Baby Boomer generation or have mobility concerns, the stairs are a bear. Because of that and, of course, the low/no water pressure, we will choose another rental next time we attend the Ocean City Jazz Festival. The proximity to the OCJF and to the ocean itself was a real plus. The decks are inviting.
