The property was great, the location was great because we were close enough to the heart of Surf City to either walk or ride to the shops and food, but far enough away that our beach access area was not overcrowded

Fantastic Stay

We traveled for a local graduation and extended weekend on the beach. Our stay was fantastic from before we got to town. The owners messaged us before we arrived with info on the stay, local hot spots and everything we needed to know about the house! Once we arrived the house was absolutely beautiful and clean! The house had plenty of supplies for a family to stay and enjoy without worry! Towels and toiletries were great! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed and more and small appliances! The amenities were great. Kayaks out the back, hot tub, bikes, and perfect beach cart with chairs and umbrella! The owners have got everything you need to enjoy the stay and have a great time! Just got off the plane and stopped for milk on the ride over! We did have a slight issue which we contacted the owners and they immediately answered and came right over to help! We’re super friendly and couldn’t recommend them anymore! We will absolutely be staying here again! We look forward to the stay!

Surf City Beach

Surf City is a very laid back place with not much to do in terms of activities but the beach is peaceful, beautiful and clean. The house we have been is clean, well maintained with all the amenities needed to get the feel of home. It has beautiful views from the deck towards the swamps. The hosts were very courteous and helpful. Overall our trip was very peaceful and quiet time to catch up with family.

Wonderful!

We enjoyed our trip so much to this beautiful property! It was so nice to be close to both the beach and the intercoastal. We kept busy with fishing, kite flying, brewery visits, something for everyone. The sunsets from the decks were just gorgeous. The owners were very friendly and helpful.The house was so clean and fresh! We will definitely be coming back!

Last summer beach weekend

We met my sister’s family at the beach. We loved that the house was on the intercostal side but still only a few blocks from the beach. It was so peaceful sitting on the decks for coffee in the morning and watching the sunsets in the evening. The kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook our own meals. We used the kayaks to explore the area behind the homes. The hot tub was perfect!

Amazing!!! Will be recommending Lorsons Landing to everyone I know!

I have been coming to Topsail since my childhood and this is my favorite place that I have stayed! Extremely clean, beautiful scenery, short walk to the beach, and very friendly/responsive hosts. We had so much fun kayaking and relaxing in the hot tub as well. We actually ended up getting engaged on the dock that is used to launch the kayaks! Best vacation ever, looking forward to returning next summer!

Perfect vacation house!

This house is absolutely the perfect place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation. Gorgeous house, decorated beautifully, amazing views of the sound from three balconies. The house is stocked with everything you need (including all the things you usually have to provide for yourself—spices, dishwasher pods, etc.). The Lorsons are warm, helpful, and responsive to any need you may have. We absolutely loved our stay at “Lorson Landing” and will be back in the future!

Great spot for a long weekend

The home was just as described, very clean and comfortable. The owners were nice enough to leave an air mattress for us to use while we were there. The kitchen had everything we needed. It may be hard to cross the busy road to walk to the beach for a family with small children but for our crew it wasn’t too bad, even on the holiday weekend. We enjoyed the deck and the view. Very nice place!
