Large direct oceanfront home

Choose this beach home if you are looking for outstanding oceanfront views with a central location to everything "beach". Two decks for lounging and a direct access walkway makes it easy to meander down to the beach. Each day was different with its own beauty. So nice to call this "home" for the week.

The kitchen is very large and very well equipped. The open concept of living room, dining room and kitchen gave plenty of room for our activities. During our week, we visited the fishing pier, our grandsons first ocean fishing experience. But the big draw is the beach, beach walks, picture taking, building sandcastles, dolphin and bird watching, relaxing and taking in nature at its best and enjoying family time. You will find all of these at North Topsail Island and especially at this beautiful home. So very glad we were able to be here.

The owner is very responsive and the house is perfect for a family vacation. Would absolutely rent again!

Our family stayed at this property from 3/26/2018 to 4/6/2018. This was our first experience renting a house for a family vacation. We were very impressed with our experience. Everyone who came to visit us were also impressed. It was clean and so well stocked. We cooked almost all our meals there and never needed extra dishes or cooking utensils & pans. The beach was beautiful and the access was easy. Our granddaughters loved finding seashells. Mario was very helpful and most accommodating. We would rent this property again.

Rented this so all my children and grandchildren could gather in one place and we LOVED it! The views are spectacular, and the kitchen was the most well stocked I've ever seen. We made Thanksgiving dinner for 24 and had every pan and tool we needed. The elevator was a great help in unloading the car and for some stair challenged elders who came to Thanksgiving. The owner is very responsive and was a great help in arranging linen rental when the first company never responded. Would definitely recommend this, especially for a large group. We had lots of YOUNG children, so the stairs were scary at first, but there were baby gaits, and all went well.

We arrived on Saturday only to find that there were not enough beds for all of our 14 travelers, despite the advertised "sleeps 15". It only has actual bed space with linens for 13 people. We immediately contacted the owner and were directed to a rusted, fold-up, military-style cot we found in the corner of an upstairs bedroom covered in dust and cobwebs. (And a pack and play for an infant, which we did not have). The linens we rented for this "bed" sat folded for the duration of our stay and were a waste of our money.

The bbq was on the top deck and was so rusted out that as we carried it down to the ground level where it belongs it disintegrated.

On our second day we realized the dishwasher was not only physically broken, but was also not attached to the cabinets in the kitchen. We contacted the owner upon this discovery.

The next day we got a new bbq but had to wait for a repairman who then told us the dishwasher would not be fixed for at least 7-10 days. We spent the next 12 days purchasing paper goods and washing dishes.

I would not recommend Tides N Knots to anyone. The property owner was not very friendly when we contacted him to report these findings and having to coordinate sleeping arrangements due to lack of bed space made this vacation very problematic.
