Great location and property. Have stayed here multiple times and continue to come back.

We have been coming to Topsail for decades, but with aging parents wanted to find an affordable beachfront property that our whole family could enjoy, and boy did we ever! What a wonderful house in a perfect location! The kitchen, bathrooms (and whole house) were clean and nicely outfitted; when we weren't on the beach itself we lived on the new beachfront deck; and being able to walk to bookstores and cafes and ice cream was delightful! Carlyn was such a helpful host! When the internet went down (wire from the street to the house had decayed) Carlyn followed up right away and did not give up until the repairman came. This was especially helpful since one of our adult children needed to work from "home" (the beach house) several days that week, and her access to the internet was not hindered. What a wonderful vacation for all of us! We have found our get-away Dream House in a Dream Location!

This house was well stocked and the host was very quick to respond to the one little glitch that we had during our stay. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

We really enjoyed the location of this little beach house. The house itself was cute, but we found it a bit off from the listing description. Listing states both bathrooms have been remodeled, along with new kitchen appliances and new grill. One bathroom has been remodeled (and is very nice!), while the other one really needs to be updated. The kitchen appliances were okay, but far from new, aside from the dishwasher. They worked as expected. We had bought food to grill on the grill, but it was very dirty and definitely not new, so we didn’t end up using it at all. Upon arrival, the house was clean-ish. I ended up doing a lot of cleaning before I cooked, as the majority of the dishes and kitchen itself were dirty. The house could use a really good clean and some TLC. The home has a new deck on the ocean side and that is very nice and was a pleasant surprise! The rest of the decking (around the sound side and steps up to the house) is in really rough shape and needs replacing. It didn’t feel very safe. Overall we had a good stay but would have been much happier if the place had just been clean from the get-go.

Amazing little gem of a property on the best part of the island. Will be back next year!

Great private location in a quieter part of Topsail. Located within walking distance to some restaurants and shops, including Quarter Moon for our morning coffee. The layout of the cottage worked well for us, with 2 bedrooms each on both side of the main living space. We found the home was very clean and included all the necessary items we needed. You can tell the host put a lot of thought into the updates and decorations, which really makes this cottage stand out from others we looked at. Our kids loved the bunk room! We enjoyed having private access to the beach and were overall impressed here. We plan on returning!

Nicely kept, clean, great beach access.

We had a great time staying here. All of the essentials were provided. It was beautiful inside. Would definitely stay again.
