The house had plenty of space for our group of 11 adults. There is a lovely view of both the ocean and the sound and multiple decks for either sun or shade lounging. The main deck off the kitchen wraps around a bit and was wonderful for sharing a meal outside (we made a low country boil!). The large table inside fit all of us around it for meals and games. The home decor and comfort were amazing. Owners must have recently replaced flooring, interior paint/trim, mattresses, sofas/chairs, and deck furniture. We felt spoiled having 6 bathrooms, each with beautiful tile and new fixtures. The kitchen was spacious, but it could use just a few more cooking tools. There was no coffee grinder, wine glasses, or lobster/crab crackers, and the garbage can had a difficult lid, but all of that was no big deal. We cooked several large dinners and breakfasts while family enjoyed drinks around the beautiful stone counter or on the decks. The beach access is right across the street, an easy walk, even carrying beach supplies. The street can get busy, so kids would need to be supervised crossing, but we had no issues going back and forth. The house has plenty of parking and easily fit all 6 cars that we had there. There is a shower in the car port and plenty of space to leave beach supplies out overnight. We had a great time!!

The location has lots of potential. Cleanliness was quite lacking. We were told that with “Covid regulations” it took longer to get into homes. If that’s the case, I would certainly never consider visiting after ANY pandemic because I would not consider it Covid clean by any means. White tables were clearly dirty from handprints and general lack of cleaning. Toilets all had black nasty stains - looked Like an issue with water or something, but that needs to be fixed. We were left with not even a piece of toilet Tissue or a single piece of soap. Too bad if you arrive after a 4 hour trip dying to use the bathroom prior to unloading. No TP! PULEASE!!! Adequate but cheap cooking utensils. Location decent and close to beach access- nice.

The 5 of us and our spouses enjoyed a quite relaxed week with lots of sunshine, sand, and sitting around.

The inside of the property was well maintained and beach access is directly across the street. However there was construction occurring next door and was very loud in the morning. The outside has a lot of wild grass and branches around the home. Additionally, I highly recommend bringing your own face and dry towels, the rental fee for towels is not worth it. The towels are very dingy. In fact, we didn’t even bother to unwrap some of them which come sealed in plastic. We elected to purchase new ones instead and some of us brought towels with us. Lastly, there a lots of ants around the kitchen counter that appear to come from outside through the electrical outlet. By the time we noticed them, we had to throw away food we had placed on the counter because ants found a way in it. Also, we questioned if they cleaned the blankets in between guest stays because they ask you to make the beds before you checkout. We did as requested but didn’t understand why make a bed if housekeeping will be washing the blanket.

Excellent trip

Beautiful house, so specious. The views are amazing. We enjoyed it so much

We loved staying at this property! The home was clean and well maintained with awesome views of both the ocean and sound. The beach access was a very short walk! We would definitely stay here again!

There was a total of 13 people in the house and we fit so comfortably. The location was incredible, the house was big and clean. Couldn’t have asked for a better house at Topsail!
