Here you will find a functional, but un-updated beachfront house less than a 10 minute drive from all of the shopping near the island. The rooms are a nice size, the kitchen is large enough for a few people to work in and it has mostly everything you would want/need to cook all meals. The dining room is large enough for everyone to eat at the same table. The overall layout is great with a living room on each floor. There's plenty of communal areas for everyone to enjoy including multiple beach side decks. There's a small elevator which is helpful for load-in/out or if you have a family member with mobility challenges. The HVAC had no issues keeping up with the summer beach heat. However, the property does not appear to have been updated in many years and thus everything is somewhat old including the mattresses which everyone complained about. Everything is functional, just not as comfortable as expected. Some additional things to note: there are only 2 full baths on the top floor that 4 bedrooms have to share. One of the 4 full baths in the listing is actually on the ground floor off the "game room". Since no floor plan is available in the listing this detail isn't very clear in the photos. That bath has HVAC but the game rooom (garage) does not which limits its use, at least in the summer. With the exception of the master there are no TVs in the bedrooms. The wifi was very slow with poor performance which causes problems with a house full of mobile devices trying to stream video at night. Pro tip: this has nothing to do with the house, but do not wait until 10AM to depart on Saturday morning during the summer or risk a 1-2 hour traffic jam as the entire south end of the island filters into one single-file line trying to enter the roundabout.

This is a beautiful home that is right on the beach with 3 decks and an elevator. It was perfect for our family.

Well equipped and clean as a whistle. Vacasa made this easy and non intrusive. We experienced a shower clog and they were on it extremely fast. It was a good week!

We been renting houses on the beach for 20 years now and this was one of the best homes ever.

The location of this home was perfect. The ocean views were what we wanted and ease of getting to the beach was very good.

The property was very nice and accurate to description. Unfortunately, there are several nails sticking up on the walkway to the beach, one of which left a large cut on my foot. I have yet to receive any acknowledgement of my injury after leaving an otherwise excellent review, which leads me to believe that the property isn't as well maintained as I initially thought.

We visit Topsail every year and each year we are in a different home and location. This is a fantastic location close to amenities but far enough away that you aren’t in the hubbub of Surf City. The house itself is well laid out for a big crowd or several families. We enjoyed the space. However, we will not be back to this house unless the carpets are replaced, a top to bottom deep clean is done , and simple maintenance issues such as air filter replacements are taken care of. Loved having an elevator!

Loved the location as it was right on the beach. Enjoyed both levels of the decks. The views of the sunrise was stunning!! We didn't cook much, but the kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you for wonderful memories.
