Best vacation ever

Shore’s Bliss was everything plus more. Kitchen was well equipped. The mattresses on the beds were nice. Only bed that seem to need mattress help was the pyramid bunk 😢. Even the pull out sofas slept well. Cannot say enough great things about the porches! We spent most of our House time on the street side porch! It is wonderful. The outside shower is a definite plus and big enough to accommodate an adult with children to wash! Short walk, very short, to the beach directly off the deck. The beach is roomy and clean and family oriented. We went out to eat a couple of times at Daddy Mac’s and ShakoTaco. Can’t say enough about how wonderful food was at both and priced for families on vacation! Overall a wonderful experience!! Highly recommend!!

Great beach house with plenty of room and a fabulous back deck!

The house has plenty of room and is at a great location! The back deck has a wonderful ocean view! The gates are perfect for keeping kids from running on ahead to the beach! I will admit the downstairs had a little bit of a musty smell as if it had been wet at some point, but wasn’t bad enough to warrant us complaining. You cannot smell it any where else in the house. Otherwise, this house is perfect for families or a group of friends or couples vacationing together. The beach access, space, and set up is on point. When we vacation to the area again, we’d definitely consider staying here if we need the space!

My new happy place

I would love to say I hated this place but I would only do that so nobody would ever book it when I wanted it. Took my 2 young grandkids (infant and a toddler) and my 2 adult daughters. The kitchen has pretty much everything a person could want to cook with and there is a charcoal grill to use. The concept of having a basement mini-apartment helped with having privacy as the people downstairs have everything they need. There were a couple sand buckets and some games in the closet that was nice. Living area is decent but honestly was never really inside except in the evening. Bathrooms are sufficient - nothing fancy in this home but it is still very nice for our needs. The deck.... I woke up in Iowa this morning as my first day back and the thing I realize I miss most was that deck! It is awesome and has an outdoor shower for sandy feet to be rinsed. The location is about perfect - close to the main town area but not too close. Walking out to the beach is a breeze - No hauling coolers etc. because it is close enough to run back and grab food etc. if needed. Overall it was just a great place and we are coming back in 6 months.

House is a total dump. We have stayed at many places in Topsail. This one by far the worst

Site was dirty. A lot of the house was in disrepair. TV did not work. Shower door was broken. Paint chipped off of many things in the house. Mattress covers were badly yellowed. All the doors had dirt all around the door handle. Other than the porches and decks, nothing about this facility was good.

Fun Beach House

Well equipt for all kinds of activities. Enjoyed the bikes, which were not mentioned in the description of the house. One of the bikes definitely needs maintenance. Great view on the back porch facing the ocean, with a continuious breeze. Outdoor shower was very nice. Kitchen was wider than in picture, and allowed for several to work in there at once. It was also well stocked with items to cook meals for a family.

Ideal location

This property surprised us. The view from the back deck is spectacular! When it said steps to the beach, it truly is just steps. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need, although cookware needs replacing. Frying pans were essentially useless. Liked having a refrigerator on lower level and used it to stock all our drinks. Six of us went and each bedroom having a bathroom was great (4 bedrooms/4 bathrooms). Enjoyed the front porch swing too; although the table and chairs need replacing. It would make that space more inviting. They had bikes you could ride. And everything including restaurants were within walking distance including the pier. We couldn't have found a better location our first time to the island. The best part was the beaches were not crowded with people like other beaches (Virginia Beach or Myrtle Beach). Very relaxing and enjoyable!! Will definitely come back to Topsail Island (Top-sul)!!
