In addition to the open living space, you can hang out on the ground level and play darts or video games or open up the garage door and enjoy the outside.

Had a wonderful week with family and friends. The house was close to the beach. Amenities were great especially all the beach items. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool as well!
We had a great stay and the house worked great for our large group. The proximity to the beach was a huge plus. The hosts were kind and responsive and we appreciated their hospitality.
We loved how close the property is to the beach, without being on the beach. The area is amazing for going to eat, grabbing coffee or exploring (with or without the kids). The house was the perfect size for our family. We were glad it had a pool, which had the perfect amount of sun and shade, the couches were amazing for lounging after a day in the sun! The rooms were perfectly set up! We truly loved being at this property
Nice house with plenty of room for families. Very clean and very true to the pics in the listing. Hosts were very easy to communicate with. Proximity to the beach was great...just a short little walk! The pool was great to have when the beach got too hot. Only one drawback.....being right next to a busy road doesn't make for a quiet afternoon or evening on the decks. But let me add....the house is very quiet and you don't hear much road noise while you're inside.
Beautiful house, comfortable beds/bedrooms, many bathrooms, and a well contained and nicely sized pool area! (And VERY handy to have 2 side-by-side sets of washers and dryers!)
Great vacation. My family has been coming to topsail for many years and this was first time we stayed in surf city. The house had everything we needed and was very clean!
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The short walking distance to the beach was perfect!! There was plenty of room for our family. The salt water pool was well liked by the kiddos. We would definitely stay here again!
The owners of this property have spared no expense to make this the perfect getaway. Well-equipped, beautifully furnished and the pool/patio area is literally an oasis! Loved this cottage!!
The house was adorable, easy walk to the beach, nice ocean and sound views from upper deck. Close proximity to downtown surf city. We loved the pool and outdoor areas as well. This was the perfect size for our group !
We enjoyed our time at the Beach Hive! It was very spacious and the pictures included with the listing were accurate. The pool area was great and the close proximity to the beach access was also a plus! Jeff was great with communication throughout the week, as well. Thank you for providing us a home to enjoy Topsail with our family!
Was a great property for two families with infants/toddlers and pre-schoolers. The pool was perfect for the older kids while the younger ones napped. There are two laundry facilities which was perfect for keeping up with laundry. The host was attentive and responsive. It was a great house for vacation.
We had a wonderful vacation in the Beach Hive! 11 of us fit comfortably in the house and the pictures were spot on to what the house looks like. The pool was perfect and the short walk to the beach was nice. We had one issue with the faucet which the owners addressed promptly and without any disruption to our stay. We highly recommend this place!!
Our group of 14 ranging from 19 months old to 60s enjoyed our stay. Each group had their own bathroom and showers which was awesome. The pool was great, we used the supplied grill once and the kids loved the arcade game in the garage. 2 cleaning stations with one being an outside shower was great. Will definitely stay again!
