"This was the second year that I stayed there my family and I enjoy it. We are just a street over from the beach, which is great. When you text message the staff they reply to you quickly and fix any problems, you may have. Pool is nice and very relaxing after you get back from the beach. Also enjoy having corn hole, ping-pong, connect four and stuff like that to do on the property. My kids truly love taking the bikes out for a ride around the town."

10/10 Excellent
"Our first trip to Topsail Island and Surf City and our experience with Paragon and with the Salty Pineapple was simply fantastic. The condo is roomy and very tastefully decorated (also some fun pineapple tchotchkes throughout) with quality furnishings and a fabulous deck with a straight-on ocean view. A/C, TVs and Internet all worked flawlessly. The condo was very clean and well organized. A real surprise and unexpected benefit is the wonderful countertop icemaker that makes the great pebble ice -- it was a treat and we never had to buy ice for our water bottles. We only stayed for four nights, but it was perfect for our family of four (with two late teens) last-minute vacation. Great location, easy parking and just a short walk through the courtyard to the beach. The complex pool is also huge and nice and the staff were friendly and attentive. I'm actually a little sad I didn't get to speak with anyone at Paragon, but that's because the booking, follow-up and check-out was so easy, and was completely online that I never needed to contact anyone. Based on our experience, I highly recommend this property and offer kudos to the owners and management for doing it right!"
