This is the perfect house, so comfy and spacious - right on the beach. The owners are responsive and kind, always ready to answer questions and offer assistance. The kitchen is the most well stocked of any house I’ve ever rented. There are so many extra thoughtful touches throughout the house that makes it feel like home. Already booked for next year, our family and friends love this house!!

This was our family's fourth time storing at the property and our third year in a row. The house is well stocked with almost anything you would need, is very clean and updated, safe, etc. The location is amazing: actual beachfront with amazing views, really close to many restaurants/bars, and on its own little road with just a handful of other houses (off the main one with all the "fast" moving traffic). Additionally, Jacalyn is a wonderful host and communicates frequently and timely.

This is the second year we’ve stayed at the Laughing Pelican and it just fits our family perfectly! We have 8 adults and 4 kids. The house has an awesome living space which is connected to the kitchen. It’s a wide open space with plenty of room for everyone! The one upstairs bedroom is perfect for grandma and grandpa, and all other bedrooms are right down the stairs. The bunk room is a hit with our kids, and all other bedrooms are super comfortable (mounted TVs in each room). The location is perfect, just a short walk down the stairs to the beach (love the newly built walkway). The convenience store right down the street is so great, and just a short drive to our favorite ice cream shop, Island Delights:) Jacalyn is always super responsive and helpful! 10/10! My favorite part of this house is that it’s not massive with tons of stairs-it is manageable with kids and older people but still has enough space for us all.

The house is clean and well-kept. The kitchen has everything you’ll need. The rooms are spacious and furnished nicely. And we got to witness a spectacular loggerhead turtle hatching; 129 turtles started their journey to the Gulf Stream from a nest right next to the property.

This was our third year vacationing at The Laughing Pelican in North Topsail Beach, and we had another fun family vacation. The house is great for multiple families with children! It is a clean, upscale, beautifully decorated home that is very well appointed. The house works well for families with a bedroom and bath for grandparents on the top floor and five bedrooms for adult kids/grandkids on the 2nd. The oceanfront location is everything you would expect, and it’s just a short walk over the sand dunes to a beautiful beach! Most especially, we love relaxing on the back porch in the morning and evening with the soft, cooling ocean breeze! The house has so much to offer families including many board games, puzzles for all ages, a variety books for beach vacation reading, beach chairs, and beach toys. Also we were provided with lots of linens. In addition, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need/want for cooking and eating with a large group. It doesn’t disappoint! The owner, Jacalyn, is a caring, responsive owner and very helpful if you have a need with something during your beach vacation. You can tell how much she loves her beach cottage and takes pride in making it a memorable place to vacation for her renters! We hope to come back sometime to North Topsail for vacation!

Book this house you will not be disappointed. Perfect location on the beach. Plenty of room for the entire family. Stayed with four generations and had a wonderful time in the Laughing Pelican. Linens and towels were provided and kitchen was the best stocked of any beach house we’ve stayed in over the past 10 years. House was well taken care of and has a great trex deck!
