Summer week at Hana Kai

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week on Topsail Island. The house suited our family very well - having 4.5 baths going along with the 5 bedrooms was really nice. The house layout works well, with a nice two level deck and raised poly wood chairs and a nice retractable sunshade. The kitchen is nicely appointed, we cooked all of our meals in and found the pans and utensils we needed.

Perfect spot at Hana Kai!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was as described and beautiful. I t was right on the beach and well maintained. Bedroooms were nicely decorated and seemed ithey might have been freshly painted? We had plenty of room for 11 people. the only suggestion I would offer is to bring your own games/cards - the games on the property are a mess and need organization. However, I would definitely recommend this property for your vacation!

Our favorite place to stay!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our renting experience! The house was clean, uncluttered and well maintained. We were located only a few minutes from surf city, so running to town was simple. The house was well kept up with, fully stocked in the kitchen and nicely decorated. We have been going to topsail for years and this was our 9th house we have stayed in. We are already planning to stay here again! There was a laundry service for sheets and bath towels, which made getting rooms set up and packing up a breeze. We had a question mid-week and we received an answer via text service within a few minutes. Hands down our easiest renting experience! We look forward to renting here again 😊

Another great Topsail vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been vacationing on Topsail for the last 30 years. I was a rental property owner for years, but I no longer own the property so now I have to rent :-) I have to say I was VERY impressed with not only the property, but also the property manager. I appreciated all the communication I received. I was very impressed with the the properties overall condition. Hana Kai was clean, spacious enough for our party of 10 (6 adults 4 teens), and was fully stocked with kitchen utensils! I also appreciated the 2 king bedrooms which perfect for 2 families traveling together. The location was also excellent, you are JUST close enough to everything. I love that the driveway is big enough to manuever cars when needed. Overall I have to give Hana Kai 10 stars...we had a GREAT TIME!! The owners have great pride in their property and it shows :-)
