Our visit to Pearl by the Sea was amazing! The location, cleanliness, and overall house is wonderful! Also, the owner, Susan was fabulous and communication was great. We can't wait to visit again!

The Pearl had everything and more for our family. From kitchen supplies to beach chairs there is nothing that we needed. The rooms were perfect, comfortable beds and the volleyball court was perfect. The fact that the dogs could be on the beach with us made it even better. Thank you Susan for all of your advice and being so kind. You have a beautiful home and we appreciate you sharing it with us!

Susan thought of everything to make our experience beyond memorable. Me, my mom and dogs definitely want to return. The views from all the various decks and sounds of the ocean waves really help put you at ease. The house was very well stocked and very clean! I would 100% return again and hope to do so in the near future. Thanks again for everything Susan!

House to beach chair in about two minutes. The bedrooms are all comfortable and well appointed. Kitchen has everything you need and more. Perfect for those who want to cook or bake for family and friends .

Great beach house, well supplied and very short walk to beach and pool! The views are amazing.

This house was perfect. The beach views were amazing. Kitchen was overstocked! Rooms were wonderful. Furniture was perfect. No complaints only good vibes

The renting process was very easy. Easy to communicate with the owner. Very prompt in answering our questions. The house had everything we needed. Loved the location at the end of the culdisac. The view of the ocean was spectacular, especially at night when the moon came out. The kids liked to walk on the beach at night looking for ghost crabs.

Over the years my family has stayed at many beach homes and this one takes the cake. It was clean, a great size and so well equipped. The owner literally thought of everything you could possibly need. We hope to stay here again!

Our second visit to the Pearl and was even better! Our family of 10 included my parents, my sister, myself, our husbands and 4 children. The Pearl is in a great location, beautiful ocean views. Sound view too! We enjoyed fishing on the nearby pier, kids catching waves and building sandcastles, or sitting on the deck watching dolphins go by. This beautiful home is equipped with everything you need for a memorable vacation, from fully stocked kitchen to sand toys for the beach. Beds were topnotch, w/ soft sheets and all slept soundly after a day on the beach. With grocery shopping done and meals planned we had a glorious week of enjoying time together, looking for sharks teeth or turtle nests on the beach during the daytime and watching the little crabs at night. Susan and Bob gave us great tips for everything from restaurants to where to go for a round of golf. We may bring our children's bikes next time as the home is on a quiet street in a cul-de-sac for small kids to ride.

The owner double booked our vacation week, leaving three families with 5 children stranded at 4:00 on check-in day. We had to find our own house at the last minute 1 hour away. While the rental agreement states that if the renter breaks the contract, the owner keeps the full deposit - Susan Frank, the owner, BROKE THE CONTRACT and offered one third of that amount if we would trust her to rent to us in 2017. Seriously? We were given a code that wouldn't work and then watched another couple move in. This person is not trustworthy of representing VRBO.

Our family of 12 had a relaxing and wonderful time at "the Peatl". The property is so well appointed. The beds were each amazing and we have some picky family members! The views are spectacular from the porches or the great room, dining and kitchen area. All the beach toys you need are provided. They even provided spices. Very new and well maintained- spotless. Great customer service- we had the wrong code for the tennis courts. Our family appreciated the pool and tennis. Everything was in working order. We enjoyed a day in Wilmington- harbor cruise then battleship for the guys and shopping for the girls. Locally lots of restersunts to chose from. Check out the mini golf with the live DJ- 80s night! Loved the jet skis to rent nearby. Don't forget Fractured Prune doughnuts! Highly recommend !

This house is absolutely gorgeous. So well-decorated and perfect for a week at the beach. The view is amazing from all levels, the access to the beach is simple and quick, and the house itself is a perfect oasis. I love the king suite on the top level - I called it The Palace! I have been vacationing on Topsail for 30 years and this is the prettiest house I've seen to date. Susan, the owner, is wonderful and works with you to get everything right. Such a personal touch which is much preferred over the impersonal rental companies. I highly recommend The Pearl and Susan!

Hi Susan! We and our friends had a fantastic vacation! Your home is absolutely beautiful! We had great weather, too! The whole house is decorated just beautifully! It was very refreshing to have such a well-stocked kitchen! The views of the beautiful beach meant for some breathtaking sunrises! Thanks for having us! We will most definitely recommend you and your home! Rozanne and Jim Matthews

My family spent a week at 'the Pearl' and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The house was gorgeous and everything was as advertised. We had no issues with the home and would definitely want to rent again if we come back to Topsail. We had a great view and easy access to the beach, which was remarkably clean and practically empty for the week. The community pool was a great benefit and was convenient and fun. The kitchen had plenty of appliances and cookware for family meals. The 4 kids on our trip loved the pirate themed kids’ bunk bed room, and all of the bedrooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Any negative things to say would just be nitpicking. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a week-long vacation.
