This was our fourth year renting a beach house in Topsail. The beach house was a nice size and the proximity to the beach was great. The beach was not crowded at all. Very enjoyable. It accommodated our family well other than the fact that the two king bedrooms shared a jack and Jill type bathroom. Would be better for families if the shared bathroom was between a king (for the parents) and a kid friendly room (like the bunks or doubles). Then the other king could be used for two adults.Also the kitchen was nice but needs a larger refrigerator or a second refrigerator to accommodate large groups like ours. We do not eat out at all while there (too expensive and difficult with young children) so we spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing and cooking meals. There was no working ice machine that we could find and I had read that from previous reviews - so I did take my own countertop ice machine. There is all the beach gear and pool floats you need for a large groups. There are also paddle boards and a kayak available (wish I had realized that before renting a kayak for the week). The communication with the host was excellent — always got back to me promptly.

The house was very nice the only problem all week was the WiFi in the sound side rooms which did not allow the TVs to work but overall it was a great week and we really enjoyed our stay sorry to see they are building across the street it will really effect the views when they are completed

Communication beforehand was wonderful, and the description of the property was excellent. The only reason I did not rate five stars was due to an issue with the refrigerator immediately upon arrival, not in working order. I had to notify the property management team. I spoke with Will at Seascape, he was very nice and got to the bottom of the issue, there apparently was a disconnect between the homeowner and property management. They offered me a discount for my stay. It was a beautiful home, pool and convenient walk over to the beach and my family did enjoy their stay (even after enduring the chaos).

We enjoyed this property for the most part. There were some great additions that we hadn’t seen before in other rentals such as the welcome package with all the snacks! We also appreciated the beach towels! They were large, clean and soft. The storage area under the stairs with all of the beach chairs, cornhole game and umbrellas was also an appreciated perk! A couple items of constructive feedback - the refrigerator space was too small. We had 12 people staying in the home with many groceries and drinks.. we had to buy a cooler to keep things cold as well as buy ice everyday because there wasn’t an icemaker. The kitchen didn’t have a pantry or vacant cabinets to store our food for the week. Lots had to sit on the counter all week. The pool wasn’t cleaned at all during the week so there was a lot of sand in the bottom. Other than these few things we liked the house!
