The house is very nice inside. No complaints with the actual house at all. However this house and several neighboring houses have huge sandbags between the house and ocean that are highly unattractive. These sandbags were not mentioned or pictured. We also discovered signs that says to keep off of l the sandbags and ten feet away from them so direct access to the beach is blocked. This is something that needs to be addressed by the city and the rental company before the houses are rented.

The communication? We got two addresses on the same emailed sheet. The information on that sheet was often at odds with what was on the frig. When does trash get picked up? Weren’t sure. It was overflowing when we arrived and wasn’t picked up until Monday. The good. On the beach (beach is actually slowly taking over the the house)! It was clean. Everything functioned well. Upon entering the front door, you walk into an entryway/stairwell. The stairs take you to the another “front door” at the bottom floor. However, at the bottom of the stair is another door that leads to underneath the house where everyone washes off the sand. There are no pictures of any of this space. Does it work? Yes. Is it pretty. Definitely not. Under the house, you are enclosed by all the X bracing of the pilings. These are all 2x12s. As adults, these are NOT easy to maneuver on your way to and from the beach. Back to the entryway. The space is enclosed, hot and the tiled stairway becomes full of sand. First floor. As described. Three small bedrooms. Two facing the ocean. On the second floor is the living area & kitchen. It is sufficient. Best word I can think of to describe the house. We found there were so many things missing. Knife sharpener? Nope. Cheese grater, no. The house sleeps 10, The table seats six. Small things. But Annoying. 3rd floor. Nice but warm. Thermostats would not go below 67. On the 3rd floor? Gets warm. All in all, it was sufficient.

Our family enjoyed our spring break at North Top Sail Beach. This home was amazing and perfect for our family. The best sunrises and direct access to the ocean was perfect!

All was fantastic except the stairs. We have bad knees so that was hard. Everything else was great!

This was a work fishing trip that we do every year. We have stayed at numerous locations on the NC Coast. This by far was the best and most successful trip we have had. We caught lots of fish from the shore. Being that close to the water was amazing. We will definitely be back, Lord willing.

Very very satisfying with the booking with VRBO and the Host, thank you so much for all your hard work

My family and I wish we could leave a 0 star review. We did not have to have things pristine and don’t mind roughing it a little however there were the peoples hair in the shower before us, contact lenses on the night stand and it looked like there was pizza sauce or blood on one of the night stands. But wait there is more! Master leaking toilet, clogged pipes with the toilet drainage water dripping through the floor and onto the kitchen table below is beyond anyone’s tolerance. Spent a day with Plumber that came who said the problem has been for a long time because of the wrong installation so its hard to believe that the owner is unaware of the problem…I have given the manager a month to respond and make good of the horrible experience but crickets. I recommend going with a different house and company! All around horrible!!!
