Great location!

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!

Great Place! Great 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.

beautiful oceanfront stay!

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.

Topsail stay

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.

Such a great spot!

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!

Great ocean front townhome

This was a very clean, bright, well decorated townhome with amazing views. The location is convenient to Surf City but beach was not crowded. Kitchen and living room were not huge but had enough space for our family of 5. Thanks to the cute bunk room, all my kids had their own sleeping areas. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing long term stay

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.

Salty peanut

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!!

Great for the Four of Us

As others have commented, the rusty trailer just behind the TH on the beach side is a downside to this otherwise cute and well-maintained TH. We were happy we didn’t end up with a 3rd couple, as the living area, while good for 4, would have been tight for 6 adults. Communication was excellent, Lori very responsive and kind. And we were blessed with incredibly great weather for mid-October!

May stay again.

The unit was nice and worked out as expected. Stairs gave us some exercise. Only issues were: the carpet appeared not to be vacuumed, the upstairs TP holder was loose, and the carport shower did not work. For the most part everything was as expected.
