I will start with the pros: 1. This duplex is directly on a very nice, wide beach. You step off porch into the sand. 2. Really appreciate “pet friendly” rentals 3. Bag of ice in freezer was nice - especially since frig doesnt make ice. 4. AC worked fine Unfortunately, i have a lot more cons: 1. This is obviously a renovation done for rental. Everything was done as cheaply as possible. 2. The listing for this property is a duplicate of the listing for the other side. Based on the photos of the other side - it might be a more accurate description of that property. Definitely misleading for the north unit. Says new stainless steel appliances. In fact, appliances are the most basic (cheap) Ive ever seen in a rental. The refrigerator doesnt make ice. The dishwasher stops if you open door and has to be completely reset to run again. Definitely wouldnt plan on cooking for a crowd on the stove. 3. Kitchen is poorly supplied. Total of 4 bowls. 4. Very misleading to say this unit has 2 bathrooms. The supposed 2nd bathroom has a toilet that doesn function because you have to sit sideways to avoid bashing your face into the sink. The sink in this bathroom is completely non-functional. Smallest sink i’ve ever seen. Maybe would work for small child? Doesnt work for adults. Walk in shower is the only functional part. 4. The duplex is right on the beach but -from the porch- you can only see the ocean if you sit in corner closest to the partition that divides the porch for the 2 units. Even then - i had to stack and sit on top of 4 chairs to see. Otherwise you can only see sand dunes and sea grass because the sand dune is built up high against the porch. 5. Same is true for the inside. Listing makes it sound like you can see the beach from the front room but you can’t. Maybe with some really tall barstools??? 6. We had a terrible infestation of black flies on the porch. HUNDREDS of black flies made the porch unusable after the first night. 7. I also saw bugs in the kitchen - ants and roaches!! No sign during the day but lots of creepy crawlies scattering when i turned on kitchen light at night. 8. Nails are popping up on the porch. 9. Door to porch sticks pretty badly. 10. The only functioning bathroom is a super cheap bath fitter makeover. 11. Overall - we would not go back to this rental nor would we ever rent from the management company again anywhere. Beware!

This duplex was nice and clean, overall fine, in a great location at South Topsail Beach. Good view of the ocean only from the living area and partly blocked by dunes/sea oats placed there for beach replenishment. Everything worked fine. Easy to contact owner/manager. However: it’s an exaggeration to call this a “2-bathroom” unit - the second bathroom is really inadequate (TINY, with NO storage, not even a shelf, the sink installed sideways to fit, and you have to sit on the toilet at an angle to fit on it - and we’re small people). The step-in shower was fine though and the front bathroom was normal. Beds ok. Also: no mirrors in any bedroom (?). Exactly 3 wine glasses provided(?) no salt/pepper/herbs or anything, you need to bring every condiment you may want to cook with. There were 2 couples in our party, I was glad we weren’t using the 3rd bedroom so my bathroom stuff could go there. Overall nice enough place and clean, we had a great time, but expensive for this layout.

This property is perfectly located right on the beach. One floor layout was perfect for us and our elderly dog. Would highly recommend this property.

Excellent location with beachfront and view right on your doorstep. Modernized with upgrades. Somewhat small Living and dining areas. Tiny second bath. Needs better lighting in 3 bedrooms. Needs hooks , mirrors in bedrooms. Very clean. Plenty of hot water, nicely stocked kitchen with pots,etc. Blender, toaster, coffee maker- bring filters.

The rental process was simple and effective, everything went smooth with check in and check out. This property was as advertised and was right on the beach! The beach was absolutely perfect and we hated to leave! We would definitely stay again and would be great to rent both sides for larger groups!!

You just can't beat the location! this is the only property you will ever find that lets you walk directly onto the beach without climbing any steps!! Wow. And what a great beach! So flat, so wide, with no undertow even with high winds, and no crowds. Dogs allowed, too! Good biking on smaller roads. The property was very modernized, clean, and cozy. All appliances worked well, including A/C! It was great having a king-size bed for me and my wife. Showers with power and plenty of hot water!

Excellent property. About 15 minutes from “town,” walkable to several restaurants abs activities. The view is amazing! Beach access was spectacular. We had a good bit of rain, so we very much enjoyed the covered porch and ocean view from the house.
