Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We throughly enjoyed ourselves in the Topsail area & had an awesome day fishing the intercostal with Allen from Breadman Ventures Guide Services. The master bedroom bed was comfortable & the pillows too, HUGE plus! Loved cooking on the gas stove and the grill. Short walk to the beach and it wasn’t to crowded. Loved the convenience of the shower area at the bottom of the steps where you could wash off your feet. The deck also had a gate so I felt comfortable letting my corgi lounge outside. Comfortable outdoor furniture. The neighbors are all nice & spoke highly of Ernie. Theres a bagel shop beside Daybreak Donuts, recommend both! We got bagels to bring home with us. The Dutch apple pie donut is so GOOD! 12/10 recommend Maine Lobstah Shack, the lobster dogs are exceptional but the lobster mac n cheese is the holy grail. They have good sweet tea too.

The remodeling upgrade choices in the house are nicely done with nice kitchen and bathrooms. Good air circulation with plenty of ceiling fans and dimmable lighting. The mattresses were good quality. Straight shot to the beach, very easy. Quiet location. Might want to bring your own beach towels. Would stay again.

Our family has stayed at this quaint cottage for 3 summers and hope to continue to come back each year. We love the openness of the living space and the privacy of the master suite. We love the close walk to the beach anytime, morning, noon or evening, but also the quiet walks in the neighborhood in the evenings with the dog. We get the best of both worlds here. It's always clean, beds are made (Yay!), towels available, fabulous pillows, gas grill access, porch awning on the front, and a beautifully decorated inside decor to enjoy for the week. It's perfect for our small family and sometimes additional friends who can join us. My daughter's dog loves it also. It is located next to a giant cottage, but the folks are friendly and it did not deter from us having a great time. When we have needed anything, we have been able to contact the owner with no problem. It definitely is the perfect getaway! A big THANKS to the owner for allowing us to stay there.

Clean. Recently remodeled. Convenient location. Short walk to beach access. Nice neighborhood. outdoor shower area to rinse off. Dog friendly. Hot tub was broken for our stay and that was a large part of the reason we had booked this house. It also would’ve been nice to have access to a broom or vacuum during our stay to clean up sand and what not. even though this is a Vrbo property you will need to get your own toilet paper and paper towels for your stay. That is something different we were not used to for a Vrbo property but nothing that can’t be fixed. Overall I would highly recommend this property. Inquire about hot tub before you book.

This house was dirty , pictures on verbo not like real house , hot tub broken , rats running in yard . Owners truck blocked driveway, Wi-Fi did not work , 2 eyelets on stove not working . Location good but needs a lot of work . I will not be back .

House is comfy, clean and in a good location.

We had a wonderful stay in Topsail Ernest was great at check in, a nice house and location.

We had a great vacation in Surf City. This was our first trip to Topsail in several years. The house was excellent for dog owners. There were dog food bowls, a dog bed and a crate. The gate on the deck was perfect for our pups to lounge with us outside. The retractable awning provided a nice shady place to enjoy being on the deck. The home is in a nice, quiet area to walk the dogs around the block in the mornings and evenings. The home’s main area was very pretty and had nice, clean and updated furnishings. The kitchen was beautiful and there was tons of counter space, which came in handy when preparing meals for a family of five. All of the appliances are very nice. Bathrooms were extremely clean. The owner was very prompt to answer any questions I had. Beach access is right across the street and very convenient. Overall, we had a great vacation.

Great house for families with young kids. The street was very quiet, but very quick and easy to get to the beach. Beach area was very private with the same few vacationers around everyday.

Our stay in surf city was perfect! The house was a close walk to the beach and in close proximity to town. We had 2 kids and a dog with us and it made it nice to be able to walk back to the house if needed! The owner responded quickly when we had questions and was very welcoming. Would definitely stay at this house again in the future!

The house was perfect!! Huge living area, nice, big kitchen. The pictures on the website don’t do the house justice. Thank you!!

We enjoyed our stay, and it was a great place for our dog’s first vacation! The grounds could have used some weeding/trimming during our week there, but overall it was a comfortable place to stay. Thanks for sharing your place at the beach!

Beautiful island, beautiful weather, beautiful home! We did not want to leave!

The Curtis girls and I stayed for a full week and had a lovely time. The home is well furnished, clean, and was the perfect home base for our beach excursions as it was only a few minute walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Ernie

The house was beautiful and very comfortable. We were disappointed after seeing the listing and noting there was a hot tub and fire pit that when we arrived at the house and received the house rules it noted the hot tub and fire pit were not for guest use. Additionally, the grill was available but the previous renter did not refill the gas, nor clean the grill (refilling gas was in the specific rules), therefore we did not end up using the grill at all. Overall, if we end up staying back in surf city, not completely sure we'd immediately rebook this home.

We enjoyed our stay

Ernie's beach home was exactly what we needed. Perfect location on quiet street a very short walk from the beach and the sound. House had everything you need for a multi-week stay and enough space for my wife and I to each put in full work days when we weren't on the beach. Ernie was very responsive as well whenever we had a question. Would recommend to anybody!

The property is nicely appointed with plenty of room, and the beds and furniture are comfortable. The kitchen is large and applicances are fairly new; we especially liked the gas range. It is a dog-friendly home and so we expected to experience some dog hair as it is impossible to clean up all dog hair, etc. However, upon arrival we found that the area rug was covered in hair and so had to clean it before our stay, so that was disappointing. Everything else was clean and ready. The house is close to the beach, just a short walk; however, there is no view of the ocean or sound. We did very much enjoy our stay.

recommend this home for anyone! very quiet and short walk to the beach.

Comfortable home with a short walk to the beach

Great/easy access to the beach, pet friendly renter, good for 6 people. Location was very private.
