Great Stay at The Coral Cottage

We had a great trip to Topsail Island & Surf City! The Coral Cottage was just the right size, easy walk to the beach, and had everything we needed. Our family really enjoyed our stay and we hope to visit again! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely beach house.

Memorial weekend stay

It was a lovely holiday weekend with family. The accommodation was very nice. There is a market and bar kitty corner to the house but the sounds not problematic for us. The beach is easily walkable and the front porch is nice for visitors. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to others

We'll Return!

This is a comfortable, updated home that's very close to the beach. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the live music from The Trailer Bar - close enough to hear but not overwhelmingly loud. The beds and sofa are comfy! The kitchen is well appointed. The beach towels and chairs are an added bonus. The owner got back to me immediately when we had a question. Overall lovely accommodations.
