A perfect house right on the beach, and the property manager was very responsive. The views are wonderful, and the owners even gave us a gift certificate to a local chocolate shop! We truly enjoyed our week.

Perfect weather, beautiful sunrise, super clean beach all 10 of us loved the house! It was so nice to have all 10 of us were able to sit together and enjoy our dinner at one table. As group we need less steps, after all we all are retired senior citizens, we did it. We will look for elevators for our future trips. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home . It was a week we all enjoyed so much, we had fun!

We had a great family vacation at Stories By The Sea. This home had everything we needed to have another fantastic vacation.

This property is superbly stocked with everything you would want. Some of us flew, so beach chairs (not even rusted!) were a plus plus. Linens, beds, dishes, appliances were all appreciated.
There was pickleball played, walks taken, many beach cocktails enjoyed, all from this great location.

Stunning home. Best location. Being right on the beach was incredible. Plenty of room for our 3 families and all the kids. We absolutely loved this house.

I’ve stayed at this duplex for 8+ years, but this is the first time on this side of the property. Property was very well decorated and property manager was amazing and very responsive! Everything and I mean everything had a label. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds we’ve every experienced at this property. They had bed covers that felt like sleeping on trash bags. This was the consensus for every person who stayed with us. When spending almost 6k for a week at the beach, I would like to have a comfortable night sleep. Was shocked to experience this due to how beautiful tidy the property was.

Clean, carefully decorated, very well-appointed kitchen, and wonderful location right on the beach. What's not to love? What's more, the property manager was very friendly and responsive. It was a blessing to stay somewhere with such a great property manager and property owner.
5.0
The location and beach are amazing. The property fit our three families well. It was equipped with all the kitchen items you need, and each shelf is clearly labeled to show you where to put everything back. It has beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and buckets (which we used to find black shark teeth). Each floor even has a retractable baby gate, which we needed. The loft bedroom does not have a door, so someone will have to be willing to have that arrangement. The couch and loveseat and the dining table area are a bit small for the size group we had. The place is well-maintained and well-stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay amd we would love to come back.

It was our first time at topsail! Wonderful house and location. We enjoyed our stay very much and realllllly appreciated the added surprise of built in baby gates.

The house was beautifully decorated and listing was accurate in this description. Location and parking was great. We loved the beach being just steps away. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever seen. We contacted management prior to our stay about being able to get in the house a little earlier since the property was not rented the week prior to our stay according to the calendar, but was turned down due to cleaning and maintenance. It was disappointing when we arrived because the house was not as clean as it should have been. Example: floors were very sandy and sand on the mattress protector.

We had a good time. The house was clean and well appointed. Would have liked to have had deck furniture on roadside bedrooms. And it would have been nice to have been able to move the existing deck furniture (oceanside) - it was tethered down.

Loved this summer beach rental!! Everything matched what was advertised. Worked well for our family
The inside as beautiful. The kitchen had all you could think of. The multiple levels had stairs but with all the good food we ate, it was much needed!! Loved the quiet end of the beach and would definitely rent again. Thanks to the owners and property manager!!!

Perfect!
We loved our stay at this home. We appreciated all of the details, decor and furnishing that make the home comfortable and cozy. It was very well stocked with anything we could have needed inside and out. Our favorites were all of the games, books, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys and beach games! The Location is central to everything. The access to the beach was much closer than we were expecting and so convenient. It was nice to let the kids out on the beach and watch them from the balcony.

Beautiful House with Beach Right in Back
Beautiful, homey, house, with a perfect ocean view. Our family was aged 4 to 64, and everyone had a great time. The owners were warm and the Manager (Bob) gave us a lot of good info about restaurants, etc. Would definitely stay there again.
NOTE: The dishwasher works but is ineffectual, so you'll have to wash dishes by hand -- which was no big deal for us.

Incredible house in a quiet part of Topsail
Everything about this house has been well thought out and designed. They have a fantastic and responsive property manager. We loved this area because it was far from public access and on a quiet part of the beach. We also liked that even though it’s a duplex the deck was pretty well walled off so it felt private.

Family Vacation 2021
This was the best rental we have ever booked for our family! We have been making
Beach vacations & memories for many years! Good sleeping arrangements & stocked kitchen! Convenient to good restaurants, hot tub fun & nicely decorated…. Not to mention the owners treated us to some great donuts from Fractured Prune Bakery!! So thoughtful!!
Only suggestions to improve would be better mattresses on the bunks for tweens & teens. Also, it would be nice to have 1 empty kitchen cabinet for storing groceries visitors bring. The hose for rinsing off needs to be replaced.
We would LOVE to stay here again! Lots of thought & preparation has gone into this rental!!♥️♥️♥️♥️

House is spotless clean, has everything - chairs, umbrellas, body boards, tent/canopy.. lots of spices, pots pans, etc. when we asked property mgr if house had beach canopy he checked and when he did not see it he dropped one off in 30 min. Hot tub was clean as was everything else. The foosball table was a hit with the kids. Definite must visit again. We forgot our apple earbuds.. cleaning crew found them, property manager called us to ask if he should mail them.. can’t ask for more from house or property manager.

We could not have loved Stories By The Sea more!
The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable for our party of 7. The kitchen was very well-appointed, it had everything you'd need and more. The hot tub was fabulous, the beach was perfection... we loved everything about this trip. So much so that we are already planning to book it again for next year. Can't wait to be back!!!
