Nice week-long stay

We enjoyed our stay and found it clean and well stocked except for toilet paper (a partial roll in each bathroom). Location was as described and a short walk to the beach access. The temperature inside was warm especially upstairs so we utilized extra fans to help. Would stay again!

Retirement Vacation

House was as described in the listing. I thoroughly enjoyed my extended five week stay. Kim was very responsive and accommodating throughout my stay. HVAC is brand new (during my stay) and works great. I would definitely return.

June vacation

This house has a good location. The kitchen had every pan and gadget you would need. It was the perfect size for the four of us. There was 3 beds upstairs if we needed them. Would love to stay here again.

Such a cute, convenient, and well loved beach house. Our first small family vacation was a success!Pros: EASY walk to the beach. We did use a wagon and brought my oldest’s electric scooter for her to ride. However my 3 year old would walk quite often. Plenty of kitchen tools. The playground is about four houses down. A HIT for children and nice for adults to unwind. Spacious- my oldest loved having her own space upstairs. CONS: Showers were alittle outdated. Unsure if the comforters had been washed or not so we washed and dried all the ones we would be using. Also, I wasn’t aware that toilet paper and paper towels weren’t going to be available so bring those for arrival! Overall a nice and affordable beach house, just needs some updating and TLC!

July visit

Family of four enjoyed our visit in July. Love this section of Top Sail. Appreciated the beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards and extra beach towels that were available! No issues with home, just needed to buy trash bags and dishwasher soap, which I left for the next family.

Great location

Check in was smooth. Communication with owner was great. The location of the house is perfect. Public beach access one block away. Yes you can hear the ocean sitting on the front porch. Restaurants etc less than 2 miles so convenient yet quiet . Very relaxing. Will stay again...

Cute little bungalow

it was a cute little bungalow but definitely in need of some updating for the price you pay. Deck and steps going up to front door badly need replaced. Splinters just waiting to happen. Blinds on front door were falling apart. Both doors on the front were difficult to open and close. Some blinds throughout the place didn't work. Shower in one of the bathrooms was old and difficult to work. Sheets were provided but not placed on any of the beds. Also if I'm paying a cleaning fee, please do not ask me to take the trash out and put bins at the end of the driveway for trash day the next day.

Great find!

This house was a perfect find!! Just a short 2 minute walk to the beach in a stretch that seemingly was full of locals, we had a quarter mile of the beach to ourselves! The house was perfect for our needs, clean and when we had some trouble connecting to the wifi- the response was quick and the issue was troubleshooted. The hose/shower combo outside was wonderful to hose down the sand after the beach. Close to the park if you have kiddos, in a super dog-friendly area. Topsail is our new favorite place- and the house certainly helped us in the new ranking! We hopefully will be back to his house!

Location perfect

The location can't be beat. In-between public access 5 and 6. 2 min walk to beach. Playground within 2 min also. Had to communicate to locate grill and about missing basics like toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, paper towels that the cleaning crew claim to have left for us but weren't there. Walmart delivery came in handy. We stayed during hurricane Debby unfortunately not within control of anyone. We enjoyed our short stay and will be back.

Outdated But Affordable

Stepped back in time but it was clean and affordable. Bushes in driveway were extremely overgrown and if you drove into parking area under house they would scratch your vehicle. Made the owner aware and was quick to respond he would look into but they were definitely an issue. Good for the money and was close to the beach. Satisfied, but I’m a simple guy more hung up on price.
