Perfect for our family’s short stay
Lovely place, exactly as advertised. The neighborhood is quiet and residential with easy access (walkable) to public beaches. We enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views over water just minutes from our “home” for our short visit. Beds were comfortable too! Thanks, Sara, fot a great experience!

1st Trip to Topsail
This was the first trip to Topsail for my wife and I as well as our one year old son’s first time at the beach. The property location really couldn’t have worked out better, it’s right by a public access and a short drive to any restaurant. This property was cozy for the three of us. We had excellent and fast communication with the owner and the check in process was a breeze. We did forget to sign the guestbook :( Thank you for making our stay pleasant.

Most relaxing vacation getaway we all have had in a while. Very welcoming community. People were very friendly. Beaches were fantastic and water was blue and warm. Even saw a baby turtle make it to the ocean. Rental was very comfortable and clean. Host was fantastic and addressed all our needs. Very nice individual!

It was a super clean space & my family really enjoyed our stay. We walked almost every where we needed to go: to dinner, the beach, the park! Loved the outside hang-out area, as well.
