Truly the best Topsail has to offer. Just across the Surf City Line. Walking distance to the beach (1 block - public access #8) and sound (two blocks - public access Reeves Street). You can easily walk the two tandem kayaks on their carts down to the sound and enjoy the intercoastal! We are so close to all Surf City activities but just outside of town enough for a much less crowded beach experience!

Nice house close to the beach

We very much enjoyed our stay at Jenn and Drew’s home. The house had everything we needed and more. It was very clean and comfortable. Jenn is very nice and communicates promptly. She even mailed our grandson’s sweatshirt that we left behind, and she assisted us with a mixup with VRBO. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Gorgeous!

This property is gorgeous, the listing does not do it justice! The attention to detail anticipating what their guests might need is outstanding. The rooftop deck has stunning views and don't forget the outdoor shower 😉. I will definitely book again!

Fabulous Amenities

This home could not have been better stocked- there was every item you could imagine…. Beach chairs, toys, floats- all the things you hate to pack. The kitchen had everything and MORE! Beds were comfy and even great pillows. It was tastefully decorated and a nice central family area with a nice large dining table. There is nothing to want for once you arrive. We all had a great time!

The Best place we have stayed for a family vacation

From the start of booking the process, the hosts were responsive and accommodating. The check in process was easy and the hosts left us a note, chocolates, and a floral arrangement. We have a large family and our son who is stationed at the base just had a baby with his wife. The space was large enouh to host a thanksgiving meal with space but also being able to be in the same room to be together. Views from the top porch was amazing. Having coffee on the covered porch was relaxing. Access to an elevator was helpful to older members of our family but also to the new parents and the baby. They also had some supplies for going to the beach which was something we didn't think to bring. We can't praise the hosts and house enough. Highly recommend the hosts, price, location,etc.
