Great layout, perfect location!
This property was perfect for our family of 6. The lower floor had the oceanfront primary suite and two other rooms. The 4th bedroom was by itself on the top floor with the kitchen and living area, so it was perfect for our moody teenager. The views are amazing from the primary, and living room and the decks. Just steps to the beach and the outdoor shower was very handy. The kitchen and living room are spacious and the kitchen has everything needed for light cooking. The appliances look to be new and the ice maker and water worked well on the fridge. The location is just a few blocks from the pier, and less than 5 minute walk to most restaurants, coffee, ice cream and ABC store. The management company was great to deal with and we rented towels/linens through them and they were good quality. We will definitely try to stay there again next year!

Lovely space that was just the right size with plenty of "like home" amenities. So great to find a reasonably priced space that could fit all of my nieces and nephews - this was their first beach trip and "Parrotise" made it all the better. We'll be back!

Good VaCa
Good overall property. Only faults were the thermostats were WAY too complicated and could never get to work correctly. Also the loose bannister going down from the deck was never repaired even after sending a video of the problem and asking them to fix it. Other than that, we all had a good time.

Fantastic, as always
Wonderful home in a great location. Loved being able to walk to the coffee shop in the morning and easy to get to everywhere else. The house was spotless, comfortable with great decks and beach access. Topsail is a magical place to begin with, staying in this property just made it better.

Out dated but great location
Older townhome w/o elevator but not as many steps to worry about than newer homes. No king size beds, all queen or bunk. Family room is cozy. We bought our own table to fit everyone around during meals. Fridge needs to be replaced. Showers antiquated but they work! It's an older rental that needs some tlc but as always we enjoy the location lose to the pier.

Overall great stay
The stay was overall good. Great location- great view! Just a few cons- top floor bedroom fan is off balance and makes noise all night long if you run it- just needs some
Maintenance. Dryer- takes multiple times run through to actually dry the clothes.
Outdoor shower was wonderful & outside shower & hose was a wonderful thing to have! Lots of space & walking distance to everything down town surf city!

Fantastic, relaxing beachy feel...
Our first time renting a beach house and it was wonderful! When we arrived it was spotless super clean, I loved the colors of the decor and it had everything we needed. We wished we were staying longer! Our neighbors next to us were really nice and friendly and even though you had neighbors right next to you, you could not hear them at all. I would definitely recommend this beach!
