The home and property were beautiful and very clean! The proximity to the beach access was more like a 2 minute walk than a 3 minute walk, which was a pleasant surprise. The home had every amenity we could want. Wonderful listing! Wonderful vacation!

Spacious home with stellar kitchen--beverage bar with ice maker, two fridges, two pull-out trash bins, and loads of counter space. Great for a large group. Comfortable bedrooms, nice decks, and dock. The owner was very accommodating.

Love this house. My family loved the house. We have already reserved it for next summer. There was a bit of an issue with the air-conditioner but they sent someone out right away. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem. In the afternoon/evening the AC would not go below 80 degrees and the thermostat would send out an alert. Even if we were not cooking. Would probably help if maybe some darker curtains to keep the rooms from heating up during the day. I will have to say, it was a very hot week in July.

The house was immaculate and so well stocked. We had an incredible week and enjoyed the peaceful canal and short walk to the beach. We would love to stay here again next year.

Great location and house
5.0
This was a lovely beach house, and we will definitely consider staying here again. Owner was very responsive to both e-mails and phone calls whenever we had a question or concern. Our favorite features of the house were the elevator lift for luggage, the large ice maker, and the spacious kitchen. In addition to the living room, the house offered several other “gathering spaces,” including two covered porches, the large dining room, the dock area, and the “breezeway” on the ground level. The neighborhood was relatively quiet most of the time. This was our first vacation together, with all of our extended family, and we made some wonderful memories!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and updated. The dock was perfect for the boat, swimming and paddle boarding. The cargo lift was a nice perk.
5.0
The house was excellent. Plenty of space for a large group. Well appointed and kitchen had it all. When it said 2 refrigerator I expected a small refrigerator downstairs.....no this is a regular frig upstairs. It makes sense for a place to have 2 refrigerators when you can accommodate that many guests. Great planning on owners design. All you need is food and friends for a good time. We had a rainy week and we did not care as the home was so nice. First time we had a lift to bring food and suitcases upstairs. Will never rent without one again.

5 Star Topsail Experience
What a great property located at our favorite place on earth! Everything was simply perfect, and Beth was super helpful with any questions/concerns we had. Having 2 refridgerators and 2 washer/dryers was great. Plenty of sitting areas was also a plus. Can't wait to come back next year! Thanks again for sharing your home with us!

Exceeded expectations
From the dock where we tied our boat to the front screened in porch all expectations were met. Incredibly well-stocked kitchen, ample towels, restful decor, huge island and separate sink and bar and constantly producing ice machine. Excellent week. Would have liked the lift to work but totally understand that computer chips are back ordered. Thank you for a great week.

It was a real stroke of luck to have found this rental. The owner and the manager were so welcoming, took time to answer all questions and offered personal notes about the home and the island. I’ve rented many vacation homes and don’t remember a better experience. The house is beautifully renovated and better equipped than most all others. You won’t struggle to cook...everything’s there. The canal dock was perfect for our boat and we were in the channel in one minute. The low tide sand bars are an awesome place to spend the day, with cool breezes and water gentle enough for kids. We set up a sun shade and spent the day playing in tidal pools, shell hunting, swimming, fishing and just relaxing. The sunsets are beautiful right from the back porch where we had drinks and dinner several times. The owner has thoughtfully provided everything needed for a wonderful vacation! Pack lightly, take a few beach necessities, stop in Surf City for groceries on the way in and then have a great time!

Canal family fun!
The renovation inside is amazing- and the kitchen has everything you'd ever want. The bedrooms are spacious and my family really enjoyed the inside and outside of this home.

Loved our stay!
Loved our stay at Temporary Sanity! Location is perfect with the canal as your backyard, beautiful views of the sound on one side and the beach just a short walk up the street! The house is fantastic--newly renovated and beautifully decorated. Loved everything about it. Great open floor plan for our family--from the living room with huge smart tv, to the kitchen (fully stocked with every cookware, utensil, etc) with the giant island, gas stove, two refrigerators; to the large dining room table; to the coffee/beverage bar with wine fridge and ice maker! Bedrooms were roomy and beds comfortable. The outdoor area by the canal is equally impressive and we had many fun times hanging out on the floating deck, the sun decks and grilling out. We'd love to come back, but next time hopefully without a hurricane!

A much needed break from reality!
From our first step in to the house, we were tickled with our choice in booking at temporary sanity. The home is stunning! Kitchen well stocked, plenty of space for hanging out, decor is on point and the finishes are luxurious. We found it to have everything we needed or could have asked for in a vacation home. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Feels like home.
Our family loves to stay at temporary sanity. We have been here many years in the past. This year was different. The renovations and decorations and upgrades look great. A beautiful quiet place For our family vacation. We are sorry to say that we will not be renting again however, as the price is now out of our range. One comment I would make is that the listing states 10 adults and space for four cars. That doesn’t add up. With 10 adults you’re sure to have more than four cars!

First trip to Topsail Island
