This would be a great rental, if it had a different owner! We stayed 2 nights and were accused of checking in a day early, staying longer than we did, and trashing the place! Which we did not! First, the owner tried to charge us extra for the maid telling her we were there a day early??!?! When we did check in, the beds were not made, but, no big deal, we made them ourselves. Later we discovered the toilet had not been cleaned, disgusting! The oven is ancient and burns everything, there were ants munching on the food we left sitting on the counter, and all of the "toys" in the outside closet were covered in sand/debris. The screen door was leaning against the wall on the deck. 10 days after we left we received yet another email from the owner saying she was going to charge us for the condition the maid said we left it in. Cake spread on the walls? Please, give me a break. The availability calendar shows it isn't booked at all - if I were you, I'd keep it that way and stay somewhere else!!!! Can't wait to see if/what the "owner" says in response to this. PS - the last review before mine was in 2008 - makes you wonder why no reviews have been posted in a while. AVOID THE HEADACHE AND STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Owner response:We have not charged additional monies even though I feel that I should pay my cleaning lady extra for the work she has had to do. Pasted below is the email I received after the Holts left my beautiful condo. Cathy, Hi...Just wanted to let you know that the condo from your recent guest was a mess...not sure how many people stayed...but there was cake smeared on the walls...All the linens were used and quite frankly it took almost 4 hours to clean..all the toilet paper is gone...all the paper towels are gone...and all the trashbags are gone...nothing was replaced and it was HORRIBLE....please don't rent to these folks again...:) I'm don't understand people...you supply such a nice rental property and some people have no problem trashing it....people SUCk sometimes, huh? oh well, sorry, but if you haven't refunded their deposit...you may want to think about keeping some of it... I was wondering why the man wouldn't let me in when I got there that day...I wish I had insisted, but? no real reason why...I truly think they had been there for a while, if not the night before.... I have removed all the linens from the condo to wash...when is your next scheduled guest? sorry to be the bearer of bad news, (again) thanks, beverly

It was a hot and beautiful week. Plenty of shells and sharks teeth. We love the new couch, pictures, rug, and bedroom bedspread. The place looks wonderful. Thanks for loaning it to us for the week. Look forward to next time.

We had a great vacation! Loved the condo so close to everything. Your condo was a great size for our family. We love Topsail and plan to come back! Thanks!

This was our first beach vacation for the family. It will become a awesome, fun, and beautiful memory for our family. Topsail is so family oriented and the food is wonderful. Thanks for the use of the condo. Everything we needed was here.

Took a couple of days to get used to the schedul of Topsail. Restaurants open at 5 and shops close at 7. That being said everywhere we went to eat had outstanding food and service. The condo is nicely furnished and decorated. Noise from other units was isolated from ours. We had fun driving our Honda on the loose sand at the end of the island. You can get some great pictures from there. Watching the full moon rise was amazing. It shined an amber beam of light from the beach to the ocean. Our 2 year old daughter loved to sit on the deck and play with her seashells. This place is very relaxing and we had an enjoyable vacation. Thanks

What a great week! Couldn't ask for a better week. Sun everyday, great place to stay. Great food and lots of relaxation. Our boys greatly enjoyed the bunk beds and hunting for sharks teeth. We all enjoyed the deck and the wonderful view. Thank you North Topsail Beach.

We had a great time here at North Topsail Beach. It was our first vacation with our 10 month old twins and they had a blast on the beach and in the pool. The condo is great. Just the right size. We loved that everything we needed was here. Thanks so much!!
