Q- Can the pool be heated year round?
A- YES ! Unlike all the other pools on the island, we designed the pool to be used year round. We built the pool with solid walls and installed an oversized pool heater and have a pool cover that makes pool heat viable year round. Optional Pool heat is an additional fee

Summary of reviews
Guests loved the spacious layout, fully stocked kitchen, heated pool, beach access, and quick responses from the owner. The house had everything they needed for a wonderful stay.
5.0 / 5.0
This house was perfectly amazing!!! What a peaceful retreat - even with 6 teenagers! We had more space than we needed which was perfect. Idyll by the Sea 2 had all the amenities plus conveniences - laundry detergent, fabric softener, hand soap, garbage bags, beach towels, spices, etc. Truly you just need to bring your clothes, get groceries and ENJOY!!! Would love to go back.
5.0 / 5.0
This was the best outfitted house we have rented at the beach. The kitchen was amazing, filled with all the stuff you could ever want and even more (like an ice cream machine). The rooms were excellent, there was plenty of space for family hang out time. The pool and deck furniture was top notch. We look forward to coming back.

Our family stayed for a week and loved the heated pool and hot tub. Beach access was easy! The elevator was crucial for our 93y/o mother. The dogs loved their dog runs! House included all the amenities and a wonderful kitchen and large tables for eating both inside and out.Great location!
5.0 / 5.0
This home is spot on. The beach view and close proximity is amazing. The kitchen is super big and fully stocked with everything you need. The pool and hot tub were clean. All the furniture was cozy and comfortable. The forth floor master was my favorite spot. The owners were easy to communicate with and provided quick feedback. Very clean home and bathrooms. We loved our stay and hope to book again soon.

We have been renting houses at Topsail for 25 years and this is the best as far as size, location and amenities. Whenever you go on vacation there are going to be glitches...what we experienced were minor and quickly corrected by Carol and Dewey. Great experience! Definitely want to come back
5.0 / 5.0
From the time that we pulled into the driveway until our time was over our experience was truly amazing. Everything we needed was there and ready upon arrival allowing us to just relax. I had a few questions during our stay and Carol's responses were immediate. We would definitely love to come back again.

Great home and location. Excellent amenities Beach was beautiful as was the house and pool. We would definitely book this place again if we return to top sail beach. Highly recommended.

A beautiful house in a perfect beachfront location. Everything you need is there so packing is a breeze. The pool is large with very nice furniture surrounding. All the many outdoor spots are lovely. The indoor space is large enough for big family meals and fun. We had 16 family members. Everyone had a wonderful time!

Beautiful home in the perfect location. The pool and beach access were phenomenal! The house is stocked with everything you need, especially the kitchen. Enjoyed our stay!
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing from start to finish. The owner (Carol) was awesome to work with. The house was in a league of it's on. So well organized with labels and instructions which I loved. We all really enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. We spent alot of time at the beach theres nothing like being steps from the ocean. This was one of our greatest vacations. Thank You Idyll Rentals

We had an amazing week here! The owner was very responsive and provided comprehensive information about the property and local area. The beach (steps from the house) was not crowded even for an August week. The house included everything we could possibly need and more, including lovely baby and kid favorites and a thoughtful welcome basket. The pool and spa suite made the stay feel like a private resort. Plenty of room for 3 families and a few grandparents. Highly recommend!!

Our whole family gathered in this beautiful seaside home to celebrate my mother’s birthday. The owner went out of her way to make sure we had a perfect experience. The decor was amazing high quality sheets and towels. The kitchen was incredible! Such a lovely lovely home. Thank you!
5.0 / 5.0
There were so many good things about Idyll By The Sea Two - abundant luxurious bath towels, a most generous welcoming gift bag filled with things to make you feel like an invited guest, and fine toiletries in each bathroom. Great environment for my 2 dogs - dog treats, dishes, leashes, disposable bags and a dog yard. The beautiful and dear pictures on every wall made me smile - so many lovely things to look at. We were there Easter Week, and there were Easter arrangements everywhere I looked! Of course, the best part is the location of the beach and the warm heated pool. My grandkids enjoyed the ocean and pool every day even on cool days! My husband is very disabled, and the handicap accessible bathroom was so well equipped. I want to thank the owners for allowing my family - grown children and grandchildren - to stay in this very friendly and lovely home. I hope to be able to return.

As a luxury vacation home owner who also rents, I can be somewhat "picky" when it comes to choosing a vacation home for my family. I think my opinion may perhaps matter more than some.
Idyll by the Sea is certainly the finest beach house I have ever rented. Exceptionally well-equipped, in fact stunningly well equipped, the house is likely your best choice in the area for a large, luxury rental. Beautifully situated directly on the beach, Idyll is well laid out, lovingly maintained, and perfect in virtually every way.
Most importantly, you may rest assured the house is not only as good as advertised, but even better than you expect when you arrive. I strongly suggest a visit to their website prior to making your decision. A VRBO ad can only go so far in showing a house's features. Theirs is a comprehensive website well worth the visit.
The owner is very helpful, easy to work with and a font of good information.
I have, literally, not a single complaint about my stay at Idyll by the Sea, and plan to return.
2.5 / 5.0
Our extended family of 14 had a wonderful time here over the long MLK weekend in January. The consensus view was that this was the best of many houses that we’ve rented over the years. It has wonderful views, nice decor, great common spaces, a wonderful kitchen, lovely hot tub and, as we hoped, a layout that worked well for our 90-year old matriarch. The house is full of lovely and unexpectedly delightful touches from a bedroom and bathroom that are really handicapped accessible to the lovely solar powered tea lights on the deck and the wonderful outdoor couch on the top floor porch. Even the somewhat less than great weather couldn’t put a damper on a great time.

We had our wedding/honeymoon at Idyll By The Sea in North Topsail, and we had the time of our lives. The home has to be the nicest home on Topsail - 8 bedrooms, huge kitchen/family room, heated pool, hot tub, top floor master suite all by itself, oceanfront, the list goes on and on. Carol was a joy to deal with and made us feel at home. Speaking of feeling at home, since Carol and her family use this house frequently, it has the feel of being in a "home" as opposed to a "rental", with beautiful décor throughout. We loved every aspect of this home and would love to revisit this spot in the future. This home is also pet-friendly, and needless to say our dog loved it there! Highly recommended for anyone looking for the best large home luxury rental on the island!

I spent a week with six (6) friends/professional colleagues at this beautiful home. We spent nearly a year planning for our stay; communication with the owner was excellent and very accommodating. Each one of us had our own room; the main living areas are spacious/open/airy. And, the unique and treasured perk of immediate access to the ocean via a few steps from the property provided the serene environment needed for a bunch of busy professionals from the Midwest! The time spent at Idyll by the Sea Two was, by far, the BEST vacation I've had in my 57 years of life. I am looking forward to my next-scheduled trip in 2016!
2.5 / 5.0
This home welcomes you the minute you enter. You can thoroughly relax and enjoy the beautiful views, catch a sauna or relax in the hot tub looking at the ocean. This home has everything you can want or need plus more. This is a luxurious home with a glorious pool and the ocean right at your door. The hospitality of the owners is incredible. We have stayed here multiple years and we always look forward to our next visit. Our family thoroughly enjoys this vacation and we all agree we'd rather be at Idyll than going anywhere else.

I first stayed at this "out of this world" beach property on Top Sail Island in 2013 when it was the chosen site for a "girls at the beach" week. Found it to be my favorite beach location....even over Hawaii! Couldn't join the "girls" in 2014 due to some family obligations but made it a top priority for 2015......and wasn't disappointed. Lots of space, everything you need without having to bring it with you, fun restaurants near by, a well-maintained pool, turtles-shells-birds-fish (even a horseshoe crab) on the beach. Just marvelous. Can't wait to return!

My favorite place EVER!! We had a family reunion in this beautiful home that everyone will be talking about for years to come. This rental is the best stocked lodging we have ever stayed...multiple sets of dishes, every kitchen gadget, plenty of toasters & coffee makers, two dishwashers and plenty of counter space...great cooking kitchen for a crowd. The pool area was spacious with plenty of toys for the kids/teens. The beach is accessed by your own walkway and the view is amazing. There is also a well stocked game room. The top floor is a spa with a sauna and steam shower. We brought our dog which added to our peace of mind. There was even a dog run, dog dishes, waste bags and treats provided by the hosts. We also got a gift bag with beach toys and other fun gifts from the hosts. The beds were comfy and most were ensuite. There were plenty of washers and dryers...a set on every level. The accessible Master bedroom on the main floor was perfect for our relative with MS. Most of our time was spent around the pool, walking the beach or on the decks enjoying the family. We did force ourselves to leave the "resort spa" for dinner a couple of nights and to shop the fresh fish markets nearby. But we all agreed that just "chilling' at home" was the most fun of the vacation. We hope to return each year.

My friends and I love coming to Idyll-by-the-Sea. The house has everything you could want, is well maintained, and it is not too close to neighbors. We each have our own space and never feel like we don't have any privacy. We had great weather this year and we enjoyed cocktail hour on the deck every evening after a day at the spectacular pool. It is a great house to bring a dog since it has dog bowls and is very welcoming for pet owners. The house is so well taken care of and clean, you wouldn't know that dogs are allowed! We also know that the manager is just a phone call away and has been very helpful in past year's when we have needed to ask her a question. I look forward to coming again.

Best house we have ever stayed in and the owners are the nicest easiest people to do business. This house has EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING! The kitchen is the BEST, if you need it..it's there. VERY CLEAN and well kept home. We all had a blast and were comfortable from our old dog, youngster child 11 and oldest adult 81. We continue to rent every year and will do so going forward. Don't miss a real treat, check this property out!
Renter for Life!

We have stayed at Idyll-by-the-Sea 2 for two weeks every summer for the last seven years. I am a widower with two married children and at last count seven grandkids ... 6 girls and one boy ... plus two of my siblings, a niece or two and even a grandniece. On some occasions when my children invited other married friends we had 10-12 kids under 10 years of age. The kitchen is exceptionally well equiped for those like us who like to cook and eat-in. The large inside play areas for the kids means ample room for readers as well as tv watchers. The beach is steps away and the large pool is used every day when the kids want a break from the surf and sand. The accommodations and decor are first rate. Even our two Labradoodles love the dual dog runs available for shady sleeping after they finish playing with the kids on the beach. On the few occasions when something went awry with appliances or HVAC the house manager was immediately on top of the situation to get it fixed. The owners are always just a phone call, text or email away also.

Depending on the year 5 to 8 women have stayed in this home for the last three years. It is a fabulous property. Everything is well maintained, nicely decorated, comfortable and the kitchen is amazing. The beach is right out the back door with a great pool if you don't want to swim in the ocean. You can see both sunrise and sunset from the many porches. We plan to come back for many more years. Thanks for the taking care of everything and welcoming us each year.

My family has stayed in this lovely home multiple times. The owners have spared no expense in making this the perfect beach vacation. It is not only exquisitely decorated, it is comfortable and well stocked with cooking and entertaining supplies. Coming back time after time is like walking into a treasured friend's home. We always feel welcomed without being intruded upon. The elevator and handicap accessible bathrooms make traveling with my elderly mother possible so that multiple generations of our family can spend quality time together. The beach is quiet and unspoiled and perfect for long walks or days playing in the sand. There is plenty of room for families to bond or to have their own space. Idyll is truly a place where lasting memories are made.
