We had a good vacation. Location was quiet but far away from stores/restaurants. Host did send detailed places to visit in the area beforehand which was great and he was very responsive. House was spacious and functional for everyone. The beds were uncomfortable. Overall a nice and quiet stay.

The owner, Mike, was responsive and kind, and the location was wonderful. The shore on the north end changes dramatically year to year, and we learned that some years the shore is non-existent on the north end, so we fortunately lucked out for our trip.
The house is on stilts and it sways significantly during big storms, which was alarming. When storms come, the movement of the home seems to create new issues, which require constant maintenance according to the local property manager. When we arrived, our shower door slid shut, but after a storm one night, it slid open each time you tried to shut it. We had clogged drains, some fixtures coming out of walls, and it was clear issues highlighted on earlier reviews (dust and debris on ceiling fans, for example) remained unaddressed. We contacted Mike about a few issues, and as I said he was responsive, but unless you wanted the property manager in your home daily, it wasn’t worth the trouble of resolving everything. The property manager shared that the structural issues with the swaying could be resolved, but no GC in the area would take the project, given the liability exposure with the house sharing a wall with the house next door.
Mike sent an email highlighting there would be a bottle of wine upon our arrival, which we thought was a thoughtful touch, however there wasn’t a bottle of wine when we arrived. We asked Mike about it via text, he did not respond to the message. Not a big deal, but disappointing.

We made the short drive to the beach to bring summer to an end. The house was spacious and met the needs of our family of nine.
For safe swimming, the walk was a bit longer than we expected, but doable with small children. The ocean views were as advertised, and was a beautiful way to start and end the day. We appreciated all the beach gear on the property, and the promptness of the property manager answering any texts and questions.
We also appreciated being able to check in a bit early, and it worked out for us to have a late check out as well. Thank you. 😎

The host Mike was top notch. Always responsive, before and during our stay. Lots of beach gear, no need to bring a chair or umbrella! The kitchen was well stocked as well. The views are incredible! It was a little tight for our family of 9 but cozy. We enjoyed it!

We were blown away upon entering with the gorgeous views from the living and dining room. Our bedrooms faced the beach with individual access from both rooms! I even watched egrets play in the marshes as I washed dishes in the kitchen. Our grandkids loved the living room upstairs. As previously stated, the house has been well stocked with essential needs. You may want to add the baby essentials in your listing. We were a little skeptical about the swimming warning signs but we were cautious. We all felt that we enjoyed the calmness(no waves) of the water much more! I loved the beachy feel and the decor of your home. We are so thankful to you for sharing it with us ! We had a lots of fun and made precious memories!

had a nice time but house needs good cleaning. Fan in downstairs master cover in dust, When we arrived dust pan was laying in middle if downstairs bed, vacuum sitting in middle of floor in same bedroom. Rug for upstairs sliding door was laying on arm of sofa. Lighting in dining room was horrible. and neither sliding door in downstairs bedrooms slide. We loved having the yard for the kids and all of the beach supplies.

The views and location were outstanding. Very short walk to the beach and river. The house certainly needs some TLC as far as repairs and cleanliness. The beds however, are a completely different story. We were deprived of sleep every night for two weeks. The mattresses were like trying to sleep on bedrock. Very, very uncomfortable. The livingroom couch was equally as bad. With new mattresses, new couch, deep cleaning, minor repairs and a lot of TLC, this place would be the best of the best on North Topsail.

We enjoyed our weekend on the beach! Loved having access to the beach right out the back door and this corner of the beach seemed sheltered from the wind too! So much beautiful sand! Three generations stayed under one roof!

We stayed here once before 5 years previous and loved the location. This visit was a little rough.
- When we arrived, the house was unlocked and the back doors were wide open.
- They was heavy dust on the ceiling fans and air vents.
- The ceiling fans and light fixtures have rust and some need noticeable repair.
- The air filter for the HVAC appears to not have been changed in a long time.
- The house is noticeably tilted to one side
- The maintenance man came to repair the washer during our 2 week stay. This was OK since repairs were necessary, however he let himself then announced himself. This was unacceptable for multiple reasons, women and children in the house.
- The Owner needs to put money and repairs back into this property.

This property was beautiful inside and out. The amazing water views from every window and the short walk to the beach made our time there truly special. The kitchen is well stocked that you need only groceries. The communication with the owner was top notch.

Nice private beach house
Our extended family flew down for our nieces wedding and family reunion. The house had a wonderful set up for our large group with 3 levels. The main living area is on the 2nd floor, bedrooms are on first and third floor. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood as well as the privacy we had at the house and beach. There were a few issues when we first arrived but Michael, the house host, was attentive and quick to respond to resolve our issues. Overall the house was clean, well maintained and enjoyable.

This property has such potential to be a great beach house. It appears that home owner has updated many areas in the house in regards to appearance. However the home still needs repairs in other areas. Many areas wouldn't take much to fix and I'm hoping home owner will follow through on this (ceiling fans working properly, blinds openings/closing, lights in shower, door handles function, air vent covers replaced ) just to name a few. My biggest concern was the cleanliness. Not sure what cleaning company home owner uses but would definitely consider changing. There were some positives such as short walk to beach, kitchen was well stocked and 3 full baths. Home owner was very receptive when I communicated my concerns. I wish Knee Deep success!

As per the VRBO description this house really has fantastic views from almost every window. With open lots on either side and beach to the front and sound behind, you really get that private beach experience. The house was as described with plenty of space for our two older children, grandma and uncle. Everyone had their own space. The beach was a 2 min walk along a private boardwalk as the house has a small pond in front which was filled with birds which we really enjoyed watching from both of the ocean facing decks. Flat screen TVs in the main area and all bed rooms. Main area probably in the 60 inch range which paired great with our Apple TV. Wifi was plenty adequate for all of our devices. One of our best nights was playing the provided Trivial Pursuit which we hadn’t played in years.
From booking to check out, property owner Mike was always available. He even ordered us a hair dryer from Amazon when we forgot ours. The beach chairs, beach cart, and umbrella which were provided we used every day. We cooked fresh seafood several nights. Highly recommend David seafood!! Overall a really enjoyable family beach vacation.

The overall communication with the property owner was great! We were there for our wedding at a venue that was only a mile away. The location was perfect, it was extremely quiet. One side is the sound and the other side the ocean but amazing views all around. 5 stars across the board!

My family and I rented this property in the summer of 2020. From day one we had issues. The roof leaked,the air conditioner did not work properly (it kept freezing up), and there were constant issues with the tv service. I was in contact with the owner, he did apologize for all of the issues we had. The owner told me that he would give us a discount if we wanted to come back in 2021. We discussed when we wanted to come back, he told me that he would mark it down. I recently got in touch with the owner to touch base to make sure we were still good for summer of 2021. I was told that that week was no longer available. He did offer me another week, but we chose that week because we have a set schedule and could not come any other week. I find it very unprofessional to give someone your word and then go back on it. I would not book any property, or recommend any property that this person owns.

Great floor plan with ample bedrooms and bathrooms. But a very poorly equipped kitchen and suspect cleanliness makes this a 3 star rental. Ditch the nasty carpet, get an exterminator and equip the kitchen and it would be a great place.

We spent Halloween with our family here & it was just perfect. The location is incredible—right on a beautiful marsh that leads to beach on a winding wooden walk. Gorgeous! House it well stocked. Views are great! Beds are comfy! Mike is very helpful! We’ve stayed here before & would do so again!

Our stay at Knee-deep was brief yet served our needs for a place to sleep and eat. We attended a beach front wedding up the shore and wanted to walk to the venue. Knee-deep was perfectly located. Also on the plus side, the home has an ample size kitchen and eating area for the six of us. All in all, it was the perfect landing pad for a two night stay in North Topsail Island.

If you love fishing, the view of wetlands as much as the ocean, birds, & the prettiest seashells in NC, then this will be a good fit for you. If you need the television to work consistently or a sparkling pristine interior on your vacay, you might be frustrated. My family loved it here, because the sunrise &
sunset & extravagant views were all we needed as far as entertainment. Also sharks teeth. Did I mention there are so many on this beach? We found dozens! I think that the property owner would have been more than responsive if we’d reached out about the televisions etc but we just didn’t really care! We cooked every night (local seafood is legit!) & that was great for us. Also, wish it had been made clear that this is a duplex, because we tend to like our own house, but again it was a non-issue because the adjacent property does not appear to be a rental, just the home of a quiet individual. It was more than fine. It’s a house-in-progress on a beautiful place on the edge of the world. I loved it.

We have just returned from a great week at Knee Deep with Friends. This was our first visit to North Topsail Beach and loved it. We loved the house, updated and very clean. We had all the amenities that we needed. This was the perfect location, perfect house and setting and had perfect weather! There are amazing views, sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. Excellent communication with Mike, so easy to work with. Would definitely stay at Knee Deep again. I highly recommend this property for relaxation and solitude. Easy access to the beach, sound and ocean. The Guys had a great time fishing. Short trips to nearby Surf City, Topsail Beach and Sneads Ferry are easily accessible. Hurricane Dorian did not keep us away this year as Hurricane Florence did a year ago. We hope to return in the future, in fact we are ready to go back now!

This location and property is perfect for a family wanting to get away from everyday life
We loved the short walk to the ocean and being at the end of the road we had the beach almost to ourselves. The family room and large kitchen was perfect for us gathering and playing games. We will for sure stay here again.
