Great place - clean and fantastic location. Just steps away from the beach and a playground. Safety gates at each level of the stairs, toys, books, and a blackboard wall for chalk made for an ideal stay for my toddler. Would definitely stay here again and recommend!

Thank you to the home owners for such a wonderful property. If you have kids, this place is absolutely perfect. The location, cleanliness, layout and home features are perfect for families. We have a toddler and the home has baby gates on every staircase, toys, a chalk wall, tons of books and games and bunk beds for kids. The play ground and beach are so close. A very short drive to the restaurants in town. The owner was quick to respond to any questions and gave us our code quickly to check in. Thank you for providing a great home away from home!

Clean rooms, nice views!

First floor and second floor you do have to go outside but not a big deal, just wasn’t aware via pics

Initially I booked our spring break stay because I liked the name 😂 Communication with the host, Dan, was terrific leading up to and during our stay. We knew exactly what to expect and the accommodations exceeded our expectations! The size and floorplan worked really well for our multi generational crew. Grandma and Pap enjoyed the first floor bedroom with ocean view (yes, there are actually terrific views from both decks and the seaside windows of all three floors!) My husband and I were comfortable in the mid level king room, and the kids loved having their own space in the loft. There are lots of stairs, so come ready to climb (while this was not an issue for our group, it may be worth noting for others) The common area including the kitchen, dining room and living room is wide open and a great for hanging out, playing games, and preparing meals together. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cooking utensils, dishes, and even some common seasonings and spices. There were a bunch of family friendly board games to choose from, and the table easily seats eight. The centrally located washer and dryer were definitely put to good use. Each bedroom has its own full bath. The convenience and privacy this offers is a nice perk. Noteworthy, the walk to the beach was easy and a lot closer than I thought it might be based on the aerial pictures. The views are truly great, even though it's a row back. The pool was in the process of being opened while we were there, and appeared to be in excellent condition. The park across the street was very well maintained. We had an awesome stay and hope to come back again soon! Thanks, Dan!!

The location was great! The property is a just a very short walk from the beach. The ocean view from the decks are great. There is plenty of room with a cute loft area for kiddos.

Location, location, and location!

Very well kept and convenient to everything.

If you are looking for an easy walk to the beach, this is the place to stay. Wonderful views and easy walk. I was worried about the Trailer Bar across the street but no worries. We didn’t hear anything, once inside the townhouse. The place was very clean and plenty of room. Bathrooms are very small and the master bedroom with bathroom is just as big as the other bathrooms. There closet size, unfortunately. My only complaint would be not realizing that there would be so many steps up and down no matter what. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and my mother n law is almost 80 so it is not friendly in that sense. Not a complaint on the owner at all, just keep in mind that if you can’t handle steps and a lot of them, this isn’t the place to stay. I would totally stay here again if I could handle the steps but unfortunately, I can’t. If you pick this place, you will be happy with the location, the townhouse itself and the owner. You couldn’t ask for better communication!

This great house made our mini vacation amazing, our host Dan was great in answering all our questions, the location of the property is great, would definitely stay here again.

First of all Dan was always quick in responding to my questions. House was clean, bright and was sufficient for a family of 10 and 2 dogs (hypoallergenic & non-shedding). Was very convenient & with in a minutes walk to the beach. Pool was great especially in the evenings after a long day on the beach. Having the "Friendly Mart" across the street was nice to have. The Trailer bar is across the street. Music plays Wednesdays,Friday/Saturdays but I bring my own sound machine everywhere so was not an issue for me. Didn't bother the kids at all. Was 2 nights when extended family came to dinner and there was about 22 of us in the house. Told family next door if it got too loud to let me know being we had 7 kids under 10 at one time. Never heard noise from next door. Loved the fact it was a corner unit and though you could not see all of the beach you still had a beach view with the sounds of the ocean. If I had the intentions of doing another beach family vacation I would most definitely re-book this house. Also there is a shower downstairs before coming into house. 2 cars fit under the car port and if you have 1 or 2 more drivers in the family with their own car there is 2 visitor parking passes for the complex which has maybe 9 spaces. It is first come first serve. My daughter got a spot and just left her car parked the whole time. Our family had a great time!

Property owner communication was prompt and seamless. Property was exactly as described! Kitchen and living room area was the perfect family hangout and nightly game location. The views from our balconies were breathtaking and if you look out the loft window it looks like a framed picture! Enjoying morning coffee on one of the balconies was perfect. You are close enough to hear the waves crashing! We recommend going to the beach to watch high tide, you won’t be sorry! We saw many comments about the noise from the bar, however it was not bothersome to us. We could only hear it when we were outside and it was faint when heard. The property came with the essentials, such as: laundry soap, dryer sheets, garbage bags, dish soap, toilet paper and hand soap! The kitchen was well equipped also! That was a nice addition to the property! We added linen to our rental, and it was great walking in after a long drive and having the beds made! The community pool area is steps away! It was well maintained, cleaned everyday and easily accessible! There was never a time we were at the pool that it was overly crowded! It was a great asset to the property. The beach access is steps from the property! It is one of the easier accesses in the area! The beach location is not crowded. There are restrooms conveniently located at the public parking area of the access. Keep your eyes open for sharks teeth on the beach! My only suggestion (minor) would be the addition of a small vacuum to the house. The cleaning crew might have forget to vacuum before we arrived (I know they are busy) and It would have also allowed us to freshen up midweek (we used the broom) a vacuum would have just been easier. Again, not an issue, just a suggestion! We would highly recommend the property and would stay again!

The location was great. This was our first trip to Top Sail Island. We had everything we needed close by. The property location was ideal. From the pool, the playground, the ocean and a little shopping we kept our days full.

3 Adults 5 Children 5, 7, 9, 12, 14 Wonderful experience! We had great weather and a great stay. The location of “Got 99 Problems (But the Beach Ain’t One)“ was perfect. Close to the beach with a pool in the complex and a playground right nearby. The house was very spacious and provided ample sleeping quarters and bathrooms. It was nice when we arrived to have the beds all made up with the rental linens. The walk to the beach was short and returning for forgotten items or bathroom breaks took very little time. Both decks had views of the ocean and provided a nice hideaway to have morning coffee and lunch. The second living room was also a plus- especially at the end of the day when people were cranky. The washer and dryer worked wonderfully for the workload that they had to handle. Utensils and dishware were in abundant supply as were cookware items. We borrowed from the owner supplied beach items…..sand chairs and boogie boards. Dan Pauly was ‘Johnny on the spot’ answering our text and email questions before and after arrival. The loft area was a big hit with the kids. Plenty of books, toys,and games. Plus the blackboard wall was genius. Each area had tv’s – kids especially liked the big screen tv in the upstairs living area. We plan on coming back. Highly recommend this townhouse!

We had a great stay in this lovely townhome in Surf City. We enjoyed seeing the sunrise every morning on the deck. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils for cooking and serving and even had some stock supplies in the cupboard for our use. There were toys for our use on the beach and comfortable beds. We were more than pleased finding it all very relaxing and enjoyable. We would definitely love to come again and highly recommend it!

We would be thrilled to rent this property again. Dan was responsive before booking (in fact responded faster than the 5 other properties run by rental agencies I sent questions to at the same time), and through our stay. Check-in process was smooth and easy. Dan also checked in with us after arrival to make sure everything was comfortable and to see if we needed anything. The house itself was fantastic. We noticed and appreciated several details that enhanced our stay and spoke to the attention Dan and his wife put into the property. Things like baby gates at all stairs, a child's potty seat, step stool, labeled light switches (seriously so helpful!), optional cabinet locks, outlet protectors, comfortable deck chairs, and plenty of beach toys. There were great books for kids through adults, games, puzzles, and even some toys. The kitchen was well supplied with pots/pans, an electric griddle, electric kettle, and hand mixer. The appliances worked perfectly fine and we appreciated that dishwasher detergent and washing machine detergent were present so we didn't have to buy them after arrival. The location was wonderful. Nice view of the ocean from the deck, easy stroll to beach access. Great park across the street. Close to the mainland and plenty of shopping, the Soundside Park, and places to eat or get coffee or ice cream. I will balance this with a few cons, just because while they weren't enough to deter us from wanting to return, others may want to have the information. The loft is a truly fantastic feature for kids, and the amazing windows are a real asset to the house. But that combination means that even with attempts at providing curtains the loft gets pretty bright early in the morning. Our light sensitive kids already have eye masks, so it wasn't a huge issue for us, but if you have kids that wake up with the light you'll want to put them downstairs or introduce them to eye masks while sleeping or they'll be up at 6:30 with the sun. The Trailer Bar across the street was loud. And rowdy. Mostly on Friday and Saturday nights. Loud enough that I was woken up from shouting at 2am one night and the music was noticeable on those nights even with windows closed up. Light sleepers may benefit from sleeping on the ocean facing bedroom or bringing ear plugs. We didn't feel unsafe, however and the rest of the surrounding neighborhood was calm and quiet. Again, not a deterrent from a future stay, but may be helpful to prepare for.

This is a great property with 3 floors and a loft for the younger kids! It’s a very short walk to the beach and the owners even provide chairs and toys. We highly recommend staying here when you can. Dan answered all questions immediately! Thanks again!
