The beach house was a just walk to the beautiful ocean! The kitchen had enough pots, pans, etc for us to cook at home. The bunk house was cute and functional. It was a wonderful few days!

We only stayed 2 nights at this property. When we checked in it was better than what I was expecting. The outdoor shower was very convenient! I also did not mind the short walk to the beach. The location was very quiet and the view of the ocean was beautiful. We brought our dogs along and this property was very accommodating for them. We arrived around 130 and the linen company dropped fresh linens around 3. Kudos to them, they were fantastic as well! The home was neat and clean on our arrival. I hope to book this property again next year for a LONGER stay!

Overall good experience

Perfect location, easy walk back and forth to the beach. No need to drag coolers to the beach. Quiet neighborhood, 15 min drive to grocery store, cvs and a couple of beach stores for souvenirs. House had everything we needed for a enjoyable stay.

A very nice home with sea views and easy beach access. We loved our stay. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The home we stayed in was excellent, comfortable, and clean. WE would like to come back sometime!

Communication with the host was great! Always prompt in responding. We had no issues with our stay overall. The rooms were clean. The linen service they used had everything ready to go when we arrived. The only slight issue we had was the wifi information was incorrect, but we were able to figure it out, well the teenagers did, I'm not a techy person. So not sure that I would have. That may need updated on the website, but really a minor issue. House is in an incredible location on a quiet street. It is close to an icecream shop, and a restaurant. It is also a short drive from the pier. Beach access was super close and my 81 year old grandma had no trouble with the short walk. Overall it was a great stay for a quick vacay. Will look into booking here in the future.

My family (husband, son, daughter and dog Maizey) stayed for the weekend for a relaxing Mother's Day and it was so nice! We love N Topsail and the house was just right! Plenty of space, everything we needed for our stay and a really short walk to the beach. It was so convenient having the hose and shower downstairs to rinse all of our stuff and our selves off after a day at the beach too - that was such a great bonus! We hope we can stay there again in the future!

This was our first visit to North Topsail. We loved the location because it is away from the hustle and bustle of the shops and restaurants. The house was close enough we didn’t need to lug a cooler to the beach we could walk back to the condo for lunch and head back out for our afternoon session. Couches and beds were comfortable for winding down at the end of a full day on the beach. We were bummed the outside shower is not enclosed. Having been former residents of the Outer Banks, we miss is showering outdoors and look forward to that on our visits to the beach. Other than that our stay was great and we look forward to booking again.

Good property location for a quiet time at the beach that is very close to a public access point. Small kitchen that is nicely supported by pots, pans, etc. coffee maker and small microwave. Living room space is a bit on the small side but comfortable. Wi-Fi and smart TV worked great. Pretty decent bargain compared to other homes in the area. Host communicated prompts and check in was a breeze.

The listing advertised a full range kitchen with utensils that could be used to prepare our meals. All of the utensils and supplies were dirty and had to be washed before using. There were no pots and pans to cook on the stove so must of our groceries went to waste. There was old food left in the fridge from the previous renter, the microwave was disgusting and was not cleaned before we arrived and there were tubs filled with linens that never got removed our whole stay even after messaging the owner about it. The location was great and the view was amazing, but the inside of the home itself could of been much better. Will be staying at a different beach house the next time our family comes.

A perfect get away for my family. The place was just as advertised and was very clean. Host was quite responsive to questions. A dishwasher might have been nice but certainly not a deal breaker.

A friend and I took our kiddos for a weekend Trip, this was perfect for us! We would stay again!

Very good experience

Location was great. Beach was the nicest I’ve seen in NC. The sounds of Marines practicing to defend our freedom helped us sleep well at night. Linen and towels were in great shape. The place was tidy, but not clean. Property owner was quick to respond with messaging. Only issue was no lighting under the carport.

Very nice house with great view.

We returned for this year's memorial day weekend and had a great time. Kids and our dog had a blast as well as the adults. The host was very responsive and we recommend the beach house to anyone with kids and pets.

We had a great time here. Very nice, comfortable property and within walking distance of the beach with a toddler and infant. We had some issues with the smart lock but Chris got back to me right away and helped figure that out. Otherwise, a quiet and relaxing stay even with the 2 kids 😄 I would recommend for any couples or small families for sure!

Great place to stay. Host was in communication with us from the beginning. Home was in a great location very close to beach access. Enjoyed waking up to the beach from the bedroom window. We hope to return next year to make more family memories. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Very comfortable house with ocean view from deck. Although across the road from beach access, it is a short walk. Highly recommend this place for family and friends to enjoy vacation close to beach. It's beautiful

We stayed three nights over the Labor Day weekend and loved the time at the house. The house was cleaned and comfy . It’s pretty close to the public beach access and we enjoyed our stay there .

I will never recommend your company for any kind of service! I had no TV and Internet, kitchen cabinets smelled of mild dew! I think I should be refunded some of my money for all the problems that occurred!!!

Cleaning crew should test all lights to ensure they are in working order. Both bedrooms had brunt out light bulbs in overhead lights. Smoke alarm needed new battery- chirping upon arrival.

Great proximity to the beach, pet friendly and has an outdoor shower.

Spent the week with daughter and her family. The kids loved the beach. Bunk beds were perfect for them. Making memories for my family now instead of forgetful gifts.

The house had all the basics covered and was in close proximity of the beach, however getting to the beach is a bit of a walk because of closed accesses. We didn’t mind and one could drive and park.

Overall this was a nice property. It was Dog Friendly which was one of our main reasons for choosing it. Our dog was very happy here! It was a nice sized unit, with sleeping space for many people. There were only two of us, so we didn't use most of the beds, but we really liked the room with 4 bunk beds. We thought our grandchildren would have loved it! We chose this part of the island because other family members had rented units in the same area. We quickly learned that we were about a block off the beach. There wasn't a lot of the ocean we could see or hear, but access to the beach was close by and easy to get to. The beach itself was beautiful. Very clean. We also learned that this part of the island has very few stores or restaurants. It takes almost 30 minutes to get to the end of the island which has many more attractions/stores. We also went off-island to get food and supplies. We loved the picnic table and chairs available under the house, in the garage area. We invited other family members over for dinner one night and used all of these items. Initially, I had a few concerns when we first arrived. There is a large bush/tree next to the stairs that take you up to the entrance. It was much too fragrant for my allergies. It was also attractive to many, very large flying insects that we never did identify. They seemed to be more present at certain times of the day, but did keep us from using the deck at those times. We did think that possibly this problem would only occur during the spring season as the tree was blooming. Our first observation was that the mini-blind in the front window was broken. This made the property look sloppy and would be an easy fix. We rolled the blind up, tucked in the broken part, and closed the curtains. As we didn't use that bedroom, it was not a problem after that. We had trouble opening and re-closing the lock box to get the key. One last item was that there seemed to be some plumbing problems - especially with the front bathroom. It was very difficult to flush the toilet. As there were only two of us, we were able to just use the other bathroom. We truly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. It was quiet and relaxing. Note that it is necessary to climb the deck stairs to access the house. People with mobility issues would have a hard time with this. For anyone else, it is not a problem.

Pros: The owners were very communicative and helpful, it was quiet, the beach access was across the street and 2 or 3 houses down, easy walking distance, nice tv with lots of streaming subscriptions, so my son could watch Paw Patrol while waking up from his nap. It was available with relatively short notice for a relatively low price.Cons: Slightly janky house in general. One of the bathrooms has a door to the outside, some of the finer details were worn, the outside shower didn't have any hot water (it looked like it did, but the tap didn't do anything), which was tough on our toddler when it came to cleaning up sand. It definitely could have been cleanerNeutral: It's at the very northern end of the island. That puts you a 20 min drive away from most of the food options, but if you don't mind a little drive then it's not a big deal. The beaches up there are pretty quiet so it's not really good or bad, it's just a trade-offIf you can deal with it being a little rough around the edges then it's a great little place. It was what we needed it to be. If you go to topsail to spend a lot of time in the house, you're doing it wrong.

The host was really nice and the place was clean and cozy. Nice location.

The house is overall a decent value. In general it's clean and accomodated our family of four very well. Renting through VRBO can drive the cost up significantly. So, pay attention to the additional fees added to your nightly rate. It's probably best to spread those out over more than two nights. The location is a little less than ideal because of the rising tides. The public beach area close by is small and lined with giant sand bags to slow erosion. It is convenient and only a short walk, but if you compare it with other beaches in the area, it's inferior. In my opinion, it's worth considering the short drive south (five minutes) to a few of the other public Topsail beaches. You should also note that you are basically at the end of the island. Outside of the local Tiki Bar and Mini Mart, you're about a 15-minute drive away from groceries and dining. Although we rented in late October, the weather was still warm. Unfortunately, we did not have a functioning air conditoner. The owner said that she sent someone out to take a look but we did not notice a change. Luckily, we were able to open the windows and turn on all the ceiling fans, which made it tolerable. I struggled a bit with the windows - I just don't think they have been opened much and the sills were dirty. One window I had to prop open with a can of Lysol because it kept sliding back down. Additionally, some of the blinds were in bad shape. We were not able to connect our phones and laptops to the Wi-Fi on the Snoring Shores side of the property, but the owner provided the password to the adjacent property. So, eventually we were able to get connected.Despite some of the annoying hiccups, at the end of the day, you're at the beach and it's hard not to relax, forget about life's stresses, and enjoy yourself. And that's what we did.

The facility wasn't especially clean, especially during a pandemic. barely any handsoap to use. got my own. light bulbs were burnt out. couches were not very clean as werent the pillows. Brought our own linens. I hand washed all the dishes we used before usage and after. Tree branch to get into under garage scratched my truck. Needs to be trimmed back .
