Not a gamble at all!

Good place to stay, we enjoyed our time here. Beach location, island location, cleanliness, house amenities were all very good. First stay in North Topsail, which in our opinion has a better beach experience than locations to the south. The elevator was a big convenience. The lot size, parking and easy access on/off Island Drive were all contributors to a great stay. Would recommend and consider staying here again. Island Real Estate was pleasant and very easy to deal with, I appreciated the email updates and reminders.
