Brilliant!

We were a party of six, 4 adults and two younger children. The property was very clean and quiet. Despite being really hot outside, it was very comfortable inside. Rick was very attentive to our every need. We were a 10 min drive to the beach (and the beach is really nice!) and a short drive to stores and restaurants. The best part was the kiddie pool for our 2 and 4 yo. Beach in the morning and pool after nap. It could not have been more perfect. (Thanks for everything Rick! We'll be back.)

Our experience at Carolyn's lighthouse was great. The owner is easy to communicate with, and quick to respond. We found the property easily. It's a nice secluded property away from tourists and crowds. The only other people we saw were the owners, whose home shares the property. The house is updated nicely inside, and everything we used (AC, stove, TVs, washer/dryer, etc.) all worked as expected. Our daughter loved to play in the small pool, and we checked out the tidal creek at the end of the property. Being centrally located to Sneed's Ferry and Topsail meant we had short trips to seafood and fishing in Sneed's Ferry, and beach access in Topsail/Surf City. The house is near rt 210, the main road that takes you to the beach, so it's a quick trip to the Foodlion, surf/gift shops, Pelican's SnoBalls, and a number of restaurants. We had a great stay, and if we find ourselves visiting Topsail beaches again, we'd be happy back at Carolyn's lighthouse.

If you're looking for a place to slow down with your family and truly savor each moment, this is the perfect spot. The home is beautifully equipped, with a paradise-like kitchen that makes cooking a joy. We spent our days fishing, kayaking, and enjoying peaceful picnics outdoors—everything you need for a relaxing escape is right here. What made it even more special was the thoughtful and caring service from the owner, who made sure every detail was taken care of. A truly wonderful break from the everyday, and a place to take a deep breath and reconnect.

Beautiful place, perfect location

Rick is a wonderful host, he made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The house is cozy and well stocked, the porch is great. I don’t think my mom and aunt left the porch the entire time we were there. The theater room, that can be viewed from the comfy outdoor furniture or the heated pool, was definitely one of our favorites. We sat with the kids after dark and watched a family movie, after sitting around the fire that Rick was polite enough to get started for us. In addition, we were minutes from the beach and local eats, but other than a few surf shops the area isn’t touristy at all, very down home and comfortable. But we drove just a little way down the road to surf city and Wilmington where we found a large variety of shopping and restaurants. Plenty of things to do. Very peaceful stay, thanks again Rick!
