We needed a quick getaway trip to the beach. This house was very nice and met our needs perfectly.

Great location and beautiful beach. The view from the porch was amazing. The home was laid out very nicely. I would love to go back and explore the area more.

Everything was simply fabulous from start to finish. The communication with Christina was first in class and everything was as it should be. The house location is amazing and very clean and tidy inside. I would highly highly recommend anyone to visit this magical property.

As a frequent Topsail visitor for the last 18 yrs I’ve vacationed at many different places on island! I highly recommend this property! Owners are very responsive and have made sure the property is been taken care of. The house was clean and bright with a well stocked kitchen. Location on beach was perfect and the outdoor furniture was lovely! We were a group of 6 women in our 50’s and we had plenty of space! We would stay here again.

We had the perfect weekend at the beach. The house was perfect for the 8 of us. The beach was wonderful. House was fully stocked.

well stocked and appointed

A laid back, family-friendly area with terrific beaches and nearby groceries. A sea turtle focused island, an opportunities to charter boats for ocean or inland cruising. A great time was had by all.

The property was beautiful and perfect for our family! The beach was wonderful! The house was well stocked with everything you can imagine & more! The owners were great! Can’t wait to return😍

Plenty of space for all 10 of us. The house and it’s amenities were wonderful.

We had a great stay!! Love that linens, beach chairs and beach towels were provided!!

The house was clean. Loved the decor. Just a few steps to the ocean. The Hosts were exceptional, they were very fast at any issues that arrived. Hope to say there again soon.

We absolutely loved our stay. This place had everything that we needed. The best part about this was the access to the beach off the front desk. Highly recommend if you have children. Will definitely stay here again.

We were so pleased with our beach vacation. Everything about the house, the location and the beach were perfect. Beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. There were two decks we enjoyed sitting on that overlooked the ocean. From the kitchen, dining room and living room we could see the ocean waves. Every morning we woke up to the sound and view of the ocean from our bedroom. Communication with the owners was great. It truly was a perfect vacation we will always remember.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! House was beautiful and well appointed. Private walkway to beach was a nice treat. Thanks for a great few days at your incredible house.

The duplex was clean - a must IMO - and beautiful. We enjoyed the deck/balcony from which we watched the sunrise and the ocean. Everything needed was provided but we made sure to take some extras. The beach was right at the end of our walkway which we appreciated so much! The beds were nice but the mattresses were firm almost to the point of hardness, so if you like a soft bed be prepared!

Ideal beachfront location and a comfortable, fully-equipped property that was exactly as the listing described. Dolphins were in abundant supply, plowing through the waves for hours at an end. My wife, an avid amateur photographer, was up and out every morning for sunrise photo shoots. Proximity to restaurants, groceries, and other amenities made everything uber-convenient. We had a great time and would heartily recommend the venue and location.

We spent Thanksgiving at this beautiful beach home with the most gorgeous beach views. It has everything you could possibly need and is comfortable and spacious. Loved every minute.

Great stay.

I can’t thank the owners e enough for a fabulous setting for an intimate family vacation on beautiful topsail beach. It really is a slice of paradise and Christina and Chris were always on hand with any questions and communication to help us along the way. A 5 out of 5 for me for overall experience and will def try and stay here again!

Our family was looking for a weekend getaway at the beach and we had a great stay here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The access to the beach and the views were excellent. Christina made sure Checkin went well and we had everything we needed. She was very responsive and helpful, which made our stay that much more comfortable.

We rented this ocean front property for a 50th birthday with our friends. Christina was awesome and the place was immaculate. It was steps to the beach and exactly as described. Christina communicated quickly and even went above and beyond to make this a special stay for my friends. The rooms were cozy and very comfortable for all. This rental was exceptionally equipped and we never once needed something that was not available. From cooking utensils to beach chairs to water toys to linen and basic supplies... Christina provided them! I would absolutely and without question rent this property again as would all my friends. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We made some wonderful memories!

We stayed at his home for a whole week, and thoroughly soaked in the sun and ocean. You don't get tired of the views and the waves. Highly recommended. The place is clean and well stocked too.

This house overall is a gem. It’s on the water, quiet and spacious; perfect for relaxation. However, the property changed hands at the end of last summer and the immaculate condition/upkeep has gone by the wayside. This past week was full of issues. Here is a detailed but non-exhaustive list: -Queen bedroom overlooking the water - upon arrival, found dead roach, stained spare blanket, cheese ball dust on bed/mattress pad and a treasure trove of candy wrappers, gold fish, cheese puffs and empty snack bags under the bed. The track to slider door black with grime. -Upstairs bathroom tub not draining; ankle deep in water when showering. -Bedroom facing road had stained pillow and chair -Roach in kitchen; multiple roaches on outside deck rail. They were active at night so it made sitting out uncomfortable -litter in grassy area surrounding walkway (pieces of kids toys and trash) -kitchen light fixture dirty -black mold surrounding ceiling vents in kitchen and living room -infant onesie and goldfish crackers in and behind couch -Empty soda cans behind bedside table in King bedroom -lower bathroom had odor of cat urine and a shower curtain with mold at the bottom -Dust on baseboards and window sills; black grime on all slider door tracks -Inside of refrigerator not wiped down -Upon arrival, dirty dishes in dishwasher sitting in dirty water because unit would not drain -broken garbage disposal -upon departure, water leak discovered under sink These items by themselves are not a big deal. However, cumulatively, it put a damper on things. The owners made initial contact to say the keypad for entry was broken and we needed keys. In addition, the king comforter was in the washer and needed to be put in the dryer. When we messaged about the dirty bedroom, it was not initially acknowledged. It took a 2nd (verbally direct) msg before Christina apologized. A repairman was sent for the dishwasher. We came in off the beach at 4pm (his scheduled arrival time) and he showed up after 5pm. In the end, the issue was not fixed. The expectation here was a basic level of cleanliness and not using my annual vacation time to assist with broken items. The owners were communicative, but no offer was made to “right” the situation; disappointing as is the wasted $195 cleaning fee. If they can work out the issues, this is a super place. Until then, buyer beware as the current conditions do not match the increased rates for next year.

We do a yearly family vacation on topsail. This year we were located in the middle of turtle activity. Rental has easy access to beach, being located on the beach. Had active title nests in both directions. Was able to see a turtle boil. Very nice.

We stayed at Carolina Castaway the week of 6/25 - 7/2. The reservation and communication with the owners was quick and so easy. When we arrived at the property, we are blown away by the beautiful views from each room. Having the beach right outside your door was such a wonderful experience. The home was clean-overall, spacious with plenty of room for the family. The beds were nicely appointed with beach decor, the beds comfortable. The bathrooms were adequate for our needs. The kitchen was well laid out and included so many items that you wouldn't think would be with a rental and it was so nice to not have to make-do without the simple kitchen gadgets. We made good use of the fridge and keurig coffee maker. It was convenient to be able to buy groceries and cook vs going out for each meal. There were beach essentials under the house in enclosed cabinets that came in handy. Plenty of boogie-boards. They had lots of kids sized boards on hand so my son learned to boogie-board for the 1st time! We enjoyed our time on the semi-private beach; relaxing, playing in the perfect-temp water, building sand castles, soaking up the sun and enjoying the wonderful ocean breezes. We got up early a couple of days and were able to capture the most breathtaking sunrise pictures! There's nothing like a NC Coastal Sunset and we had the perfect views in the evening. The chairs and couch out on the porches were so comfortable. We spent plenty of time relaxing in them. We absolutely recommend this home for your family vacation! We had a blast and were also able to relax. Thank you for a wonderful week!

What a great place to stay!! We can not say enough good things about it. My family and I had so much fun staying at this home. We found the home to be very comfy, warm and inviting. The direct beach access is a total PLUS. You feel like you have your own private paradise where the beach is quiet, relaxing and has some of the most beautiful & breathtaking views. We were even able to watch the schools of dolphins almost every morning. We had 7 adults and 1 toddler and found it to be very spacious too, well until you have a toddler who gets all his toys out and spreads them everywhere. lol. All kidding aside, I could not thank Chris and Christina for their prompt attention to detail and quick responsiveness, that means a lot and speaks volumes about their characters. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a welcoming, quiet, warm and peaceful vacation spot, definitely give this property some consideration. Chris and Christina are wonderful people to deal with and we will definitely be looking to book from them again in the future.

Just steps away from toes in the sand. The view and beach absolutely stunning. Besutiful home , peaceful, tranquil even saw lits of dolphins. They had just about everything you could possibly need and seemed to think of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Made so many memories that we will cherish for a lifetime ❤️

Well stocked, well maintained inside and out, loved the labeled cabinets, hosts were great

Great cozy beach home with everything you need. Owners were great. Views and beach access was amazing! The streaming TV service was a nice bonus. We have stayed here before and will definitely be back!

The view of sunrise is spectacular! The property owner s very responsive and very pleasant. We had a wonderful time , the house, location and weather was just perfect. Thank You
