Great vacation!

The property is beautiful! The pool and backyard was everyone's favorite. This was our fifth trip to Topsail and this property was by far the best!! First property that we did not have any issues with cleanliness!!! The only negative is the bathroom on main floor[top floor] is very small.

Perfect Bachelorette weekend

Everything about our stay was amazing! The hosts were very accommodating, the house was even prettier than the pictures. Between the pool and the private beach access in was perfect for our trip! Being walking distance to the grocery store and the donut shop was a plus!

Great property was easy access to the island

This house was really a gem to find. All the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable, and we were surprised with how large the bunk room was. We also were very happy with the entertainment in the backyard. The outdoor bar and pool were fantastic, and the additional relaxation space under the trees was awesome. They had plenty of bath and beach towels for everyone to use. The only feedback I had was the thermostats were a little difficult to figure out how to use, but we were able to figure it out after a little bit. Also, the fan’s controls in the living room were difficult and we couldn’t figure out how to get it on. Other than those two items I would completely recommend this state to anybody who’s looking for a property that has entertainment options for family and is close to the beach and the shopping on topsail.

Fantastic

The property was fantastic! The pool was clean and ready to swim, and the outdoor bar area was perfect for the adults to hang out while kids swam! Having to climb two flights of stairs to reach the kitchen was slightly annoying, and the nearby roads were busier than we'd like for walking around with the kids, but those were minor and didn't impact our enjoyment of the property overall. I can't come up with any other real negatives.

Beautiful Home

My Husband, son and I planned a last minute getaway and stayed at this beautiful home. The pictures of the home are spot on and the backyard with the heated pool was wonderful. The home was located in a perfect spot and close to all of the restaurants and shops. There are beach cruisers available that we used multiple times per day to ride around the area. Jeff is also very responsive, helpful and nice. Will 100% be staying here again

Backyard Bliss

We loved our stay at Carolina Tides! The pictures represented the property well, and that back yard -the reason we booked the property - was perfect for our family! We loved that it took only 3 minutes to get to the amazing beach, but we spent so much time in the beautiful pool area with our small grandchildren. This property is good for all ages (basketball, foosball, cornhole, etc). We could not have been happier! The hosts were excellent. Communication was quick and easy and check-in and check-out were a breeze! We highly recommend Carolina Tides!

Great family vacation!!

The house was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. We had three families with a total of 6 kids ranging from 11-3. This was our first trip to Topsail. The back yard was perfect, the kids loved the pool and the outdoor TV. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. My only recommendation would be to include the layout of the house by floor. It would make it easier for planning on where to place younger kids and parents. Overall, we LOVED our stay, the hosts were wonderful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!!

July 4th Birthday and Fireworks

This property is close to the beach with private access. The backyard is delightful with a play are and pool. Great location for families. Staying over the 4th of July -the front porch was perfect for viewing the fireworks without leaving home. A little surprised not to have beach towels and toilet paper - but contacted the owner who responded immediately to explain this was an oversight. The bathrooms were a little dated but the occupant of the basement area was able to use the hot/cold shower in the cabana.

Annual Family Beach Trip

The house was just as pictured, including the amazing backyard which we took full advantage of on a somewhat rainy day. The kitchen was well-stocked, the living/dining area roomy enough for all of us, and the linens provided were top-notch. The distance to the beach was an easy block and 1/2 which we were happy about because the Memorial Weekend traffic on the island was crazy! Jeff and Karen were helpful, and responsive. This was our family's 17th annual Memorial Day beach vacation and our 1st time in Surf City. The beach was beautiful and everyone we met was friendly, would highly recommend this location.
