Ocean View – Beach Access steps away – Kid and Pet Friendly

Beach access close to the home. Great views. Small but awesome for my husband and myself and I loved that we could bring our dog! She loved the beach. Not really a fenced yard but more of a dog run. My dog didn’t care. We walked the beach! Nicely furnished and met all our needs. Would definitely return! Great vacation!

Wanted to spend a long weekend at Topsail with another couple. Our goal was to stay ocean front, but only found duplexes. We did not want a duplex because of our young dog. She barks for a few minutes when we leave the house. We want to be responsible pet owners and not be a bother to anyone else. So.... we were shocked when we pulled up to the address and found out this was a duplex. I passed up some very nice ocean front rentals because they were duplexes and I was very disappointed that it was not disclosed in the description of this house. It ended up being ok, our pup didn’t bark very much, so thankfully it was not an issue. Also, the beach access is not directly across the street as I thought (looks like the boardwalk across the steet is your access- but it’s not). You have to walk a few houses down to the public access. Normally, this would not be an issue, but my husband recently had surgery and had chemo treatments, so our goal was to have close access (that’s why we initially wanted ocean front- to eliminate excess walking for him).

The A/C did not work when we got there, but thankfully we were able to open the windows and the weather was perfect without the A/C. The toilet seat in the front bathroom had a cracked toilet seat which made it tricky to use without pinching your rear :).

The good things- very nicely decorated and extremely clean. Owner was very responsive, but the A/C and toilet seat were not something that could be fixed immediately.

Overall- nice place, good location and easy beach access (but it would be nice to know where it is before renting).

The property is comfortable and close to all amenities. We were happy with our stay. Beds were pretty comfortable and furnished well.

The house is a duplex so if you don't mind neighbors then you'll be fine. The place is small but well kept and clean. It's a quiet, residential area. We had some issues with our trailer and had to extend our st at a few says to get it fixed. The host was very accommodating and responsive.

My overall stay was great. The owners of this home was easy to keep in contact with. Also, if I had any problem I could easily get in touch. This is definitely a good vacation spot and nice view.
