In general, the house was perfect for our family and is very dog friendly. The part that was disappointing is we had to wash every single dish before we used them and bring our own linens plus paper products. I would think for that price, this would be easier. After a trip from the triangle with two young kids and many family members, having zero toilet paper in the bathrooms the moment one walks in, as well as making 7 beds with the sheets that filled up our car for the beginning of a vacation is NOT a vacation! We have rented many homes at Wrightsville Beach and Topsail Beach over the years and NEVER had this stress. We did thoroughly enjoy our stay though. Oh, and a 10 am checkout with such a list of to dos, is not fun. 11 am is wiser. I understand washing all dishes, but to put all away too? When you are clearing 9 people out by 10 am, this is too much.

I was a bit suprised at the lack of cleanliness of the house. Could not even tell if anyone actually cleans the house. In the house rules, it says that there should be no dishes left in the dishwasher, but it was full (of clean dishes) upon our arrival which we had to put away to use it. The keypads for the doors didnt work great so it took a while to get into the house.

We had a great time while there at Topsail Beach. The house was perfect for our family and even tho our mothers and grandma didn't care for the steps, it all worked out. Communication was great and would consider staying again in the future.

Wonderful property, clean and close to beach

Location is great. Beds and all furniture are very comfortable. Kitchen is dated and bathrooms are small, but all needs are met at this house.

Where to even begin. We booked our end of July trip at the beginning of July, so I guess beggars can’t be choosers. But, this house was in such a poor state, we would’ve been better staying at a cheap motel. Upon arriving, the exterior of the house wasn’t terrible looking. We had some trouble with the door codes but the realty company was quick to remedy it. The top deck has loose boards and there were a lot of nails sticking up. Luckily there was a hammer and we got as many nails back in as we could. Top floor: living room was small with a lot of large pieces of furniture jammed in. The dining room table and the living room counters looked like they hadn’t been wiped since the previous renters left. The kitchen might be well stocked, but it’s so disorganized that you’d never know. We tried to put like thinks in cabinets together after using them, but everything was placed so randomly that you never know where stuff truly should belong. The hose on the sink is busted, fridge door handle is broken off and the cooktop has definitely seen better days. The dishwasher shoots crud all over the dishes and they come out dirtier than they go in. Bedroom sizes are adequate, beds comfy enough and there were plenty of pillows. The bathrooms are a joke. The sinks are pedestal sinks and there is absolutely no storage in the bathrooms, other than the mirror storage.. but they’re filled with old junk from past renters- including an open jar of suppositories, dead bugs, and a nasty toothbrush. The toilet in the hall bath is so close to the tub that you either have to have your shins against or in the tub. The master bathroom is tiny and even my skinny 11 year old kid complained about how small the shower was and how she kept bumping her elbows on the walls. After just a few hours in the house, the bottoms of all of our feet were black with dirt. We had to mop our floors on day one of vacation, after a 10 hour drive. Now for the downstairs half. There is no central air and the 3 1970s window units could not keep up with the heat. The downstairs was moist and smelled awful the entire week. The downstairs bathroom was a joke and the shower was even smaller than the upstairs one. We chose to shower in the outside shower rather than cram into the downstairs one. We avoided the downstairs as much as possible. The house gave us a dry place to sleep at night but we definitely do not recommend it to anyone.

The agents were extremely nice and even called personally prior to our trip to make suggestions and provide information on the rental as well as the surrounding area. The house and property were both clean and the kitchens well stocked with anything you needed for cooking. The house is a great location to the beach access. We enjoyed the large variety of games onsite during the typical daily summer storms. Overall a great spot.

My family and I just returned from a wonderful vacation at Topsail! The house was perfect for our family of 9 - plenty of space, two well-equipped kitchens, private lot, very short walk to beach, and, with no condos in the area, a very family-friendly, uncrowded, spacious beach. Two things to bear in mind about the house: the bathrooms are very small, and there are no interior stairs meaning you have to go outside to go between the upstairs and downstairs. We found these to be minor inconveniences! This is a great house and beach for young children. The extra den space gives kids their own space to play, and the surf at Topsail was perfect for new ocean swimmers. It never go too rough to play with our 1-year old grand daughter right at the water's edge, but this is NOT a guarded beach. All in all, this was a great place!!
