Sunset views

The property was as described. It is not a large house, but they do not depict it as a large house. The photos are very accurate. It reminds me of a small family owned vacation home back in the time when the common blue collar family could afford a little piece of paradise. A place to escape and fish and commune with family. If you are looking for a large house or luxurious house, maybe look elsewhere. They are not charging a luxury price and dont make any false claims about the house. The view is where the money is. Fabulous sunsets that you will never forget. We very much enjoyed our stay. Nice quiet street with very few neighbors during our stay. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Beach Home

House was a very dog friendly home that was super close to the beach. House was clean and stocked with basic starter supplies and kitchen cooking supplies to cook amazing meals. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay over Memorial day weekend! Very quiet side street right next to the marsh and a short walk to the beach. Perfect for a family with a dog. We hope we can be back soon!

March get away

We stayed for the month of March and have to say what a treasure this place is! The back deck overlooking the marsh is AMAZING! Loved sitting out there listening and watching the birds, hawks, pelicans, egrets etc. And enjoying the sunsets. The walk to the Oceanside is about 3 minutes and the beach is gorgeous with Crystal clear water. Found lots of shark teeth! Although its small in size, there was plenty of places to store our stuff and we even cooked many meals there due to the cooler temps with not a lot of dog patio dining open. We were disappointed that the piers are not dog friendly, but there are a few nice parks on the island and just outside in Sneads Ferry. Ricks restaurant let us bring our little dog in his stroller in and they have a farmers market on Sundays with live music, which was nice. Thomas was great to work with and promptly replied to any question or comments we had. Enjoy your stay!

“Best vacation yet”

We’ve been coming to Topsail for the last 12 years and the husband dubbed this one the “best vacation yet” all because of this lovely place. We enjoyed the privacy and peaceful quiet here. The dog loved the sunny deck and watching the birds and butterflies. This was our first time not staying oceanfront and it turned out to be the best decision.

Awesome location and great host

The location is great with direct view over the backbay (sunset) and it's a short, 1-2min walk to the beach (sunrise). The house is cozy and the outdoor shower and hose downstairs as well as the faucet on the porch are great to wash off the sand before going inside. A few things are a bit 'dated', like the screen of the screened in porch and the outdoor furniture but there weren't really any bugs and we had our own beach chairs. We had one issue during our stay but the host was very responsive from the beginning and throughout and quickly resolved it.

Beautiful Views, Great Non - beachfront location

Beautiful marsh views made up for our first time not staying at a location that is beachfront. Very peaceful. Quiet neighbors and easy walk to the beach. I would suggest updating your outdoor furniture as it’s either uncomfortable or rusted. Size is great for a couple but may be too small for more except perhaps small children. Overall we had a great time and owner communication was great!

Great location and house

We loved the location being right on the bay and only being a block from the beach. The beds were comfy and everything was clean. The only thing we wish we had a heads up on was that there would be no toilet paper/soaps/sponges. I understand not providing them but we were caught off guard when we arrived and were not made aware before hand like the linens and towels. Additionally, the deck is lovely but the screened in porch needs some work. Luckily it was colder and not buggy but if it were summer that screen would not have stopped the bugs. We enjoyed the stay very much though! Highly recommend!
