Property was nice with easy access to the beach. Lots of sleeping space and the kids enjoyed the games on the 1st floor. Kitchen was sufficient for cooking, but a vegetable peeler, scissors that actually cut and a blender would be a nice addition to the kitchen.

Host was a very responsive host when I had questions. Nice place to stay, an easy walk to the beach, and then I was able to relax in the pool. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. And for those who talked about the music across the street they stopped at 1000 and it was only one night. Thanks for the nice stay!

Beach House was true to listing, but we had some issues, Door was very hard to lock, cleaning crew needs help, master bedroom mattress was stained and had grass all over it, we had to vacuum it, hair dryer didn't work, the lint filter in dryer was full of dog hair, But we did enjoy our stay.

This house is perfect for a nice trip away to the beach. It is in a great location, easy access to the beach, easy walk to food and perfect if your interested in some entertainment. The host was also fantastic to work with. I will definitely stay here again!

Nice location on the island & if we’d had children with us, the park next door would’ve been ideal. We were actually looking for something closer/walkable to SC circle/restaurants/shops but bc it was Sept, island traffic wasn’t an issue. BTW, We loved the Trailer Bar!❤️ However, kitchen cleanliness was an issue for us. Random sticky items in drawers, food left in fridge, pots/pans “piled” in cabinet. Bedroom closets had random items on the shelves/floors. Showerheads & shower rods should be cleaned/replaced. Bed pillows (dirty & possible bloodstains?) should be checked/replaced. If dirty, a zippered cover would be all that’s needed but bloodstained should be replaced. (Thankfully we had brought our own pillows & linens) Mold by entry door was very concerning & lights/bulbs should be checked for working order. Beach items were in an huge jumbled, random pile in the closet. Outdoor shower head was wrapped (in a fabric bag?) so we didn’t use it! We loved the easy public beach access! Also the pool/pool area was very clean/well kept with many clean chairs/chaises & it’s an awesome plus for this property. Overall a nice experience for our sisters’ trip, but I gave it only 4 stars bc we were disappointed with the above mentioned cleanliness. I would totally rent this property again if these issues were addressed.

The property photos are great but once inside, the furniture is worn/torn, kitchen was not well stocked and is just dated. As for the location, my stay was only for 4 Days and I had to listen to extremely loud music until 11pm from the "Trailer Bar" across the street. I've been vacationing in Topsail for 40 years and can assure you there are much better rental options out there.

Overall, everything was fine. However, the home needed a lot of cleaning. The dust on the ceiling fans and bathroom fans was very thick. Lightbulbs were burned out over the dining room table. I did love the floor plan, ease of renting and checking in and out, and the location. We had a great family trip. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet, but overall, again, we really enjoyed our stay.

Was a great place to stay, but not much for activities if you want to do more than be at the beach or the pool.

We relished the quick and easy walk to the beach and enjoyed the shared pool for a relaxed water alternative. We appreciated the outdoor shower and hose access to minimize bringing sand into the home. The open shared space was enjoyable to share with friends.

The house was nice, lots of rooms and well stocked. It looks like it has been partially rennovated, new floors, beds and paint. There were lots of sleeping spaces and bathrooms, but unfortunately the house can only seat 6 comfortably in main living space even in dining room so we had to eat in shifts.We bought some beanbag chairs to sit together and play a game or watch a movie. Also had to buy a firestick as it did not have one. Now the important thing, the location! It is located close to the beach which was very convienent. Be aware there is no beach "view" unless you stand up and look over the side. Otherwise when you are sitting you are looking at the side of a house or the road. The road gets noisy with young people racing up and down at night Also right across the street is a bar and a club. The noise on friday and saturday nights was very bad. After 2 am when the club closes people hang around until 3 am talking and laughing, sounds like they are right outside your bedroom. We knew about the trailer bar but were unaware of the Tortuga night club. There is a sound machine app we discovered on our phones which helpedbut our first Saturday night we got no sleep. Very unfortunate the town would zone bars that close to residential living. We made the best of it and all in all we had a great time on the beach and having a pool was nice too. The host was great and responded quickly to any issues we had.

Stayed here Monday-Friday with my mom, her friend my 2 sisters, cousin & her 11 month old. getting ahold of the host was super easy and they replied back super fast. The house was clean, just make sure to bring your own linens ( pillow cases, blankets ) & also bring your own toilet paper but those are things that are told when you book but overall we had the best trip! The beach & pool is not even a minute walk and not crowded! We would deff stay here again!

The host is a really great communicator- from swapping dates to a small maintenance issue- the host responded immediately and took care of what was needed very quickly. The condo was in good condition and perfect for the weekend. Very quick walk to the beach. The condo is very close to a popular bar and it was a little louder than we anticipated. It didn’t effect our trip but I’d bring sound machines for the kids in the future. Great weekend spot!

Fabulous Stay. Perfect Central Location on the Island. Super Family Friendly for mixed ages. Beach right outside our door! Only concern is the amount of stairs...Our 60 yr. old arthritic knees took a beating...No issues for the Young Bucks. Highly Recommend...Owner Lovely to interact with.

Mold on shower curtains, cookware very outdated-teflon scratched; ceiling fans and air vents covered in dust/dirt. Ice maker didn't always work and leaked; mattress in master bedroom needs replaced-big indentation in the middle. Difficult for 2 people to sleep.comfortably. Condo advertised for 10 guests but only 6 chairs for seating at dining room table. Carpet entering into master bedroom pulled up and nails sticking out.

We loved our visit! We walked the beach, the pier, found sharks teeth and sea glass! It was such a nice relaxing trip that was just what we needed. The island was not at all what we expected and we will be coming back. Our mutts loved the beach and all the walks they got to take!

The process was pretty easy - I had never used Vrbo before. The house was good but way too many stairs for elderly people. That’s the only down side.

Make sure you read the complete description…..there are no linens or towels. We had to go to Walmart in Jacksonville to buy some….but the owner was nice and we should have read the description more closely.

We had such a lovely time. Perfect amount of space, well equipped kitchen, just steps to the beach which made it convenient for bathroom runs. A few cosmetic issues but put it down as rental wear and tear. Hoping we can do the same thing next year!!!!!

Location is great with a very short stroll to the beach and a city playground. House is a great layout with lots of options to bunk. Kitchen had plenty of supplies and washer/dryer were convenient. We appreciated each bedroom having an en-suite for privacy! Parking was super manageable even with three cars.

Dealing with Kristi was a pleasure. As with any stay there are things you may not like or an issue may arise and we did have one that was out of anyone’s hands, which was an AC issue. Kristi was very responsive and immediately had a resolution and eta for the repair. We were very appreciative of her care. The property is very convenient to the beach and if you cannot find ocean front this is a great option.

great location and property- owner is super responsive to any communication. Overall upkeep needs work- pretty significant kitchen faucet that leaks onto counter, mold all over all of the shower liners, fleas present, very thick dust on air vents and fans. Owner was notified and will follow up.

Close enough to the beach to hear the ocean. The public access we used to get to the beach just happens to be where the turtles are released back to the ocean. We witnessed one during our stay. Awesome! A short drive to several of our favorite shops and restaurants. Plus a convenient store across the street. The one small issue we had was quickly taken care of by the host. Couldn’t have asked for a better week! Would rent again!

The rental was fairly clean. The only problem was a terrible knat problem in the kitchen and bathroom. We also saw two roaches which are common in the area. The air conditioning vents were black with mold and the fans were dusty.
