SOME KIND WORDS FROM OUR GUESTS:
"Jamie’s place is amazing. The location is perfect. The view is perfect. The place is very clean and well-maintained. Both Jamie and the property manager are extremely helpful and responsive. Will definitely come back." Michael
"This place is awesome, Jamie provided everything we could need, it was immaculately clean, the location is unbelievable. The layout of the house was perfect for us and our needs, and it was very well furnished and decorated. We have rented beach houses on topsail every year for nearly a decade now and Jamie’s was the best so far. 5/5 in all categories, we would definitely stay here again." -Nick
"Jamie’s place was absolutely gorgeous! The interior was beautifully decorated, crisp, and clean. Watching the sunrise over the beach from the hot tub was an absolute dream. Everything exceeded my expectations. I had a very short trip, but enjoyed every minute!" Zoe

This house sits in a perfect location with local restaurants, coffee shop/ice cream and the local grocery store. You can walk out the back door from two bedrooms or the upstairs living room and head right to the beach!!
Christine was excellent on communication. Would surely recommend this home.
4.9
Beautiful property right on the beach. With access to a bunch of activities, restaurants and bars plus grocery stores definitely recommend!
4.9
What a beautiful property and location. We had enough parking for 5 cars and once we parked them, we walked everywhere! The house accommodated our multiple families so well and we loved being steps from the beach. The beach itself was also well maintained and beautiful.
4.9
We enjoyed our stay . House was nice bedrooms were small better for children than adults . Master bedroom was comfortable. Living area nice but couch not real comfortable .Property manager was nice and replied quickly. Overall great place to stay but alittle pricey
4.9
We had a great week staying at Sweet Escape. The owner and property manager were very easy to communicate with and made the check in and check out process very easy.
They were very accommodating to allow us to bring our dog and have basically thought of all the necessities. It was nice to not have to worry about linens and all the paper products- all of it was provided. So much nicer than having to bring or rent linens (as I’ve had to do at other properties in the past). And the appliances are so nice and up to date - with two full size washers and dryers! The only thing we did do was purchase another electric frying pan because almost all of the pans in the kitchen were smaller and warped from use. There was a really large electric griddle and that got used every day - but with our large group we needed another big pan.
The views are amazing and it’s great to be in walking distance to so many things - including the pier. The only drawback for me was that it is directly next to a busy public access and I feel like it could get crowded on the beach especially during the busier season. However, I would definitely give this a five star rating and stay there again!
We love Surf City!!
4.9
Great house with a ton of space, very well set up for multiple families, and best location in Surf City.
4.9
The house is wonderful with everything you need for a great vacation. The beach is right outside the back door, and so much to do in Surf City right outside the front door within easy walking distance. Highly recommend.
4.9
We thoroughly enjoyed our time away together at your place. Everything was wonderful. They have everything you need and then some. Tons of stuff to do for kids (games, beach toys, etc.) and lots of stuff within walking distance. We got to see the Dolphin Plunge while there and that was a fun experience for all! If you aren’t used to stairs, you are in for a workout but it comes with a beach house. Waking up to the sunrise and waves everyday made up for it 😉
The only con was the beds. Not sure if they were recently replaced but the 2 queens and king are very hard and uncomfortable. Bring an egg-crate if you need a softer bed.
Other than the beds, we loved the house and our time there and would stay again and recommend it to others.
4.9
Our stay at Sweet Escape was absolutely amazing. This is our third time here in the Topsail/Surf City area and we really love it here. I will begin my review of the home by noting on Jamie’s true professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire booking process. He made everything so easy and was there to answer any of my questions. Now the home was one of the nicer ones my family and I have stayed in. Located in the heart of Surf City, you could basically walk to most of the amenities. My dad and I love to fish and it was really awesome to have the pier right beside us. The house itself was a real “gem”. It had plenty of space for big families, was very clean and neat, and was equipped with most of the basic necessities. I’m a grown man but a kid at heart so I really enjoyed the basketball game and foosball table. And last but not least, THE VIEW was the best part. Listening to the waves crash at night and in the morning was truly enjoyable. I recommend this property to anyone searching for a relaxing getaway. Thanks and great job!!~Eric

Enjoyed every moment from start to finish. The balcony and oceanfront view was awesome!!!
Would love to stay again. Thank you Jamie.🙂
4.9
Sweet Escape was our home for a week and was absolutely perfect!! We loved how clean it was and it had everything from a coffee bar to a fully stocked kitchen to the most amazing view!! We had plenty of room for our group of 11 adults and were spoiled with a washer and dryer for those salt water swimsuits at the end of the day. Christina was lovely and was helpful throughout our stay for any questions or needs that we had!!! We will definitely be back!
4.9
Amazing stay. House was beautiful and just as advertised! We will be staying here again.
4.9
This is a beautiful home, nicely updated and large enough to accommodate a big family. It is within walking distance to many restaurants and shops which is very convenient. The house is great for kids - mine especially liked the basketball game in their room. There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, and towels - everything you need for the beach! The back deck has stunning views and is very private, another perk we enjoyed. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. There are 2 washers and dryers to help you keep up with the laundry during your stay. The property manager was readily available and texted me the morning of our stay with her contact information if we needed anything. If you want to be close to everything in Surf City, do yourself a favor and stay here!
4.9
The property was clean, well stocked with essentials, and in a absolutely incredible location right on the beach! In addition to beautiful views and walkability to many restaurants, we appreciated that the house included beach towels & chairs as well as many household items like paper towels, laundry detergent, and shampoo.
The property manager was very kind and helpful, too. Our family enjoyed our stay and we look forward to returning to Surf City!
4.9
The house was very clean with all the kitchen amenities you need, beach towels, games to play and beds are comfortable. Two washers and dryers are a luxury. I did notice beach equipment and baby equipment(high chairs and portable crib) but we did not need these during our stay. The house is centrally located in Surf City which is very convenient to walk to the grocery store, coffee shop and ice cream. The deck looking out over the ocean is very comfortable and gets a nice breeze. Having the main living area on the 3rd floor is nice since it has the best view and deck. You do need to be good with stairs to rent this house since bedrooms are on 1st and 2nd floors and living area is on third floor. The first floor does have a kitchenette with a full sized fridge which is helpful for storing additional drinks. The beach does get crowded since it is close to the public access so you need to claim some beach space early.

Great location! Easy to walk to restaurants, groceries, ice cream, etc.

The location is great, the manager was great, the house needs repair and refreshing.

Great place on the beach. Great place for teens downstairs. Everyone had a great time.
4.9
We stayed at Sweet Escape in mid-October for a long weekend with extended family. It was grandparents and two families with young kids. The house was the perfect size and set up - the adults slept on the main bedrooms on the middle floor and the kids slept on the lower level. We loved that two of the bedrooms had ocean views.
The location could not be more perfect. We loved being right on the ocean. The house is also right next to the public access road, which made it easy to haul all our stuff from the car onto the beach without having to navigate through the house and stairs. Walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. We were told the area gets pretty crowded and noisy during the peak seasons, but we were there during off-season and it was perfect. We loved the convenience of being so close to everything.
Communication with the host was great. We got lots of communication leading up to our trip with tips and recommendations. There is also a manager on the island that very responsible and available to assist with our needs during our stay.
The only minor issue we encountered was that we did see 3 cockroaches / water bugs during our stay but maybe that just comes with the territory of being near the water.
Overall very pleasant stay. The house had everything we needed and we could not have asked for a better beach weekend!
4.9
Perfect home for our family gathering - the home was more than advertised & we would love to stay here again.

We had a fantastic time staying in this house. The beach was steps away and we could walk to restaurants, grocery stores and get ice cream for the kids. Our host was great and flexible with us. We can’t wait to return!

Family beach trip was great start to finish. Loved location of the house & accommodations were just the right fit for our family. Property owner and onsite manager could not have been more responsive to our needs. Would love to go back in the future.

We had a wonderful week and so glad we spent it here. It is in a perfect location for walking to get food, sweets and IGA. The views are beyond perfect from all of the decks and knowing that all of the essentials were provided was relief.
Thank you for sharing this perfect vacation spot with us!

Beautiful Home in a Fantastic Location
This property was perfection inside and out. If it had rained all week we still would have had a blast. The beach is right outside your door...and it's walking distance to EVERYTHING, including ice cream, coffee houses, gift shops, surf stores, grocery stores, jet ski rentals, a giant candy store and best of all a gormet donut shop that sells WARM homemade donuts! Safe, comfortable, and relaxing. Would definitely rent again!

Vacation
Our family came from all over to reunite on the short vacation. The beach, the house, and the easiness of checking in were all perfect. Surf City is also very laid back and almost everyone we encountered was extremely friendly. Accessibility to the beach and the weather for us couldn’t have been better while we were there. We hated to leave!
