The major concerns are the Oceanside (top) sliding doors should be replace due to safety and liability issues and the bottom sliding doors do not lock. Even though we put the sticks in the doors when we left it was still a security issue when the doors would not lock. There needs to be another chair or loveseat or couch and a lamp (not the little night light type lamp) in the main seating area. Three adults sitting on the couch was a little uncomfortable and we had to keep the dining and kitchen lights on a lower setting.

While I understand that paper items would not be included. I believe at the very least one roll of toilet paper could be at the property when guests arrive. I can promise you rarely do people stop at a store or travel with paper products. However the first thing g they do is use the restroom when they have arrived at their destination.

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. The owner does provide a gift bag with some toilet paper and essentials for their guests however it seems as if the cleaner/inspector failed to leave it out. We apologize for the inconvience.

Relaxing Stay

My husband and I had a great stay! It was relaxing, a great location and a beautiful beach area. We enjoyed sitting on both decks during the day and night. We were a little concerned that it was a duplex but had no issues with neighbor noise because it was a very private set up.

Great Beach Spot

This property was great! Very convenient, right on the beach, and the area was not crowded. Be aware that this is a duplex, which means that you will have next door neighbors out on the balcony next to you, and you will need to share the parking area. Overall, a great beach vacation rental! Easy check-in and check-out procedures.

The moisture is very high inside the condo. It was recommended not to adjust the A/C below 72-75 degrees and it was not cool. The upstairs where you sleep was much warmer than downstairs even with the ceiling fans on. The Return vents haven’t been cleaned in sometime. There was sand in the carpet. The utensils were rusty. The sink can’t be cleaned more as it has permanent stains. The bathroom sink drain doesn’t open. The refrigerator is not of good quality and doesn’t cool. The freezer works fine. The sliding glass doors are difficult to open. The standing fan kept falling apart and had layers of dust all over it. The Owner should check behind the cleaning people and visit the property .

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not fully satisfied with your stay - We were unaware that there was an issue with the HVAC unit until after your stay, however the HVAC unit has since been replaced, which resolved the moisture issues. - The return vents have been thoroughly cleaned. - The refrigerator is cooling properly, and we are continuing to monitor it to ensure it stays that way. - All other items mentioned have also been addressed. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We hope to host you again in the future.

Terrific Topsail Beach

We had the best time at your place! Nice and clean, beautiful beach. It was super accommodating for our dogs too! While we were there, I picked up trash on property and did a little weeding in the sandbox. Would love to stay again next year but would rather book through you directly. VBRO has way too many hidden fees. Thank You so much for your North Carolina hospitality. Brett & Scott

Family getaway

The house was decent but smelled very musty when we walked in. It had old carpet on the stairs and upstairs that was old and I suspect most of the smell was from that. Also there were no vent fans in both full bathrooms. That created a lot of humidity in the house from showers being taken. There was also evidence of mold around the AC vents. The top deck had great views but the lower deck had obstructed views of the ocean because of a high sand dune. The owners did allow us to bring our dogs which was much appreciated.

Unexpected

While we understand that Vrbo is not a hotel, basic amenities such as toilet paper, soap and trash bags should be supplied. Additionally, the lack of cleanliness in one of the bathrooms was beyond unexpected. It was disgusting as the photo shows there were dried feces on the outside of the commode. When we reached out to the realty company, they replied sorry for the inconvenience. Sliding door upstairs won’t open and ac is poor. The request to keep the thermostat at 72 results in the upstairs sleeping areas being at 75 or 76. The location and beach access was great but wouldn't recommend staying here until they rectify their issues.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 20, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. Starter supplies are not provided at any of our properties. The main reason for this is that everyone has their own preferences. Additionally, some individuals have severe allergies. For the cleaning issues you had noted to us that you called the cleaning company back and they "rectified it within a couple of hours". We did simply apologized for the inconvenience because the matter was handled. I do not see a message about the slider and I will ensure we get that handled. For the A/C we do request not to go below 72 because it is so hot here. When it is that warm and you drop the temperature too low it will cause the A/C to continue to run and freeze up. At that point you would have no A/C at all. Again, we do greatly apologize for any issues we may have caused you on this trip.

Had some issues

Well, I do have some issues. The property is ocean front, just set back a little, walkway to beach is right next to the house, which was fine but I assume in the full season it could get a bit busy, we stayed in the off season. Before we even arrived I received a text message informing us that the internet was not working. We arrived late and was informed that the internet could not be fixed for a day or so. Well, that turned into 3 days and we finally got the full service on Thursday of our stay. In my opinion the management company should have been aware of this issue and had it fixed before our arrival. The management company were very nice but I think a little lacking. The cleanliness was ok. The sliding doors are unusually hard to open (should have been lubricated) and the furnishings are just ok. I wanted to love our stay but had just a few issues. I am sorry for that, I would not stay there again, I suppose for many people it would be fine, just not us. Sorry

This property has a lot of potential but...

My family and I enjoyed being so close to the shore and having enough room for our family of 5. The property was nicely decorated and updated and had many kitchen amenities. That said, we did have several issues with the property. 1. The AC unit stopped working on our second day there. We spent about 24 hours without it, making the house extremely uncomfortable, especially at night. A repair person was sent out and it was thankfully repaired. 2. On the third day of our stay, the septic alarm began sounding. We called the rental agency who was able to request the utility company come and inspect it. Fortunately, it was able to be repaired, but we were told that this was not the first time there was an issue with septic. 3. When we arrived, we observed that one of the lower kitchen cabinet hinges was broken and the door was hanging off. We told the rental agency about it, but it was difficult to manage walking/working around it, so my husband went out to the hardware store and purchased a new hinge which he installed himself, so the cabinet door could be rehung properly. 4. When we arrived, there was no comforter for one of the twin bunks. We let the rental agency know about it but a replacement was never provided. 5. One of the twin bunks did not have a pillow. 6. One of the pillows from the king bed had fresh blood stains on it so we did not use it. 7. More closet space is needed in bedrooms. 8. There is mold in the washer. I had to wipe it out with Clorox wipes.

Great Stay!

House was nice and clean. It's a little small, says it sleeps 8 but I wouldn't want to put someone on the pullout sofa. It's a townhouse and we had a group of young gents next door, but it was perfectly quiet and peaceful the entire time. The house has it's own beach access over a sand dune. Some may think that's bad but it blocks the straight line winds which is great. This was our 1st trip to the area and we'll be back, likely to stay here again.
