Needs updated
Property is in a great location but has not been updated since built- carpeting worn with stains all over ( plan to not walk barefoot) showers full of black mold on all grout corners, shower heads all leak walls all need painted- house was “clean” but there is only so much a cleaning company can do with the condition- outdated electronics ( believe they are someone’s leftovers) we have been in/out of topsail for the past 15 yrs and always wanted to stay in the pastel homes on the beach in center city - luckily we were in off season for a funeral and did not have to spend much time in the unit as we had events and meals at other family rental properties (we DID NOT offer to meet at this one - would not recommend until some is spent on needed updates are completed.

Great Location, needs TLC!
An accommodating home, but upon arrival we found coffee in the pot, crumbs on the counters and cupboards, trash and plates under a bed, hair in a tub, and more. The cleaning crew does bare minimum. We had to clean as our vacation started. The pool was cloudy the whole week, which didn't seem right. There is also mold/mildew in the bathrooms and on ceilings. Aside from these complaints, the home is in an awesome location, most everything you want is walkable from the home! Vacasa and/or homeowners need to do better and give this place some TLC!

Underwhelming and disappointing at best. Terrible condition, unresponsive when asked to fix things
What a joke. I reported countless issues about the homes quality, cleanliness and functionality after arriving. Other than the not functioning elevator, which Jade helped me with, nothing else reported was addressed or resolved.
I requested the blinds and trashcan cabinet be fixed as they were not functioning. I was told the blinds couldn’t be repaired or replaced (?!???!) and their only option for keeping the trashcan cabinet closed was to put a lock on it. The team promised a technician to fix the dishwasher but they never showed up. By the end they quit responding to us and never followed up.
The furniture is falling apart, the house was obviously not cleaned before our arrival, the kids beds are disintegrating, blinds in the master room are not functional, paint peeling off doors, empty chip bags and food containers under beds. The dryer takes 4 cycles to dry a small load of towels. The house sleeps 13 people and has a total of 6 forks, 4 salad/cereal bowls, and maybe 12 glasses.
So incredibly unhappy I spent so much money for a vacation for my family that hasn't been cared for or maintained in years, and "managed" by a team that can't, or wont, fix things.

Great location
The house was very nice and large. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were more than adequate. The kitchen was fine but the furniture in the family area needs to be updated as they are not very comfortable. The balconies could use a few more tall chairs but they were great to sit and the watch the sunset, sunrise and the surfers.

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
The Good:
Pool was quite nice. Elevator helpful for the grandmas and to take luggage and groceries up. Big beds were comfortable. Jacuzzi tub was clean and wonderful. Location was good with walkability to shops and restaurants (although the Scallywag bar across the street plays music on weekend nights so if you sleep early, bring earplugs). The washer/dryer work well.
The Bad:
This house needs a deep clean. The cleaning crew did an absolutely good job with surface cleaning. But the rugs/carpet are pretty dirty in general. The living room furniture was somewhat dirty and the couches were particularly in need of replacement. The internet was very slow making it hard to watch a movie. The kitchen stove dial numbers are worn off so you can't tell what knob goes with what burner or what is high or low. The dishwasher isn't stable and is pretty worn out. The bunk beds have flimsy mattresses and the day bed in one bunk room has a very bad mattress; there was vinyl padding peeling off the bed frame all around it. Lastly, some of the porch chairs are pretty worn and mildewed. At this price point I would have expected better.
The Ugly:
This property is managed by Vacasa which is based in Oregon. When we arrived, we needed sheets for the pull-out couch for the kids to sleep on. Reached out to Vacasa and after recordings and texting, finally got sheets after 3 nights without them (out of our 5 night stay). If you need any customer service, don't expect it to be easy.

Enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay. Needed the check out email earlier in the day because we exited early morning and didn’t read that I needed to check out until after our 6 hour car ride!!

The location of this house is great. The beach is beautiful and the pool will be nice to have in the summer. It is in the center of Surf City near the pier, Soundside Park, many restuarants, coffee shops, bars and ice cream stores. The house has four nice bedrooms. The fifth bedroom appears to be a storage room with a bunk bed in it. There is no window in the room and no bathroom on that floor. The room has a door to the outside in it. I would not be comfortable with young children sleeping there. The Kitchen was well stocked but we had problems with the dishwasher not cleaning and the ice maker leaked into the freezer. Hoping these issues will be fixed soon, I have rented the house again this summer!
