This place was fantastic for my kids and bringing along the grandparents! We love Topsail and we will for sure stay at this house again! Donna was a great host and responded quickly with any questions I had!
A great duplex on the beach. We stayed for a week in June and the beach was not overcrowded at all. Incredible ocean views from the deck. Donna was very responsive and we enjoyed it very much. Kitchen was amply supplied with everything you need but the food. The hot tub was a hit. Would definitely rent again.
What a great house with a great location! It was perfect for our family, and with a very well equipped kitchen, and lots of beach toys and chairs to use! We even got to see some dolphins too.
The property was very clean. The ocean view was awesome. We were able to take our dog who had the best time of all.I definitely recommend this property

Phenomenal stay for families with young kids
We absolutely loved our stay at Beachcomber! Surf City has become a favorite for our family. The home had everything we needed from beach toys to toddler dishes to high chairs and a pack n play. Being able to run back and forth to the beach cut way down on the typical chaos of leaving the house with young children. We could keep an eye on our 4 year old while he ran back to the house with his "treasures". The warm outdoor shower helped keep sandy mess to a minimum. We would be happy to stay here again - in fact we are already looking to book our next trip!
The house was perfect for our family Christmas beach getaway and a great place to relax and recover. Amazing views of the ocean while relaxing and having coffee on the balcony while dolphins passed by every morning.
This house is amazing. Very well stocked with everything. The kitchen, bathrooms bed sheet, bath towels towels for the hot tub looking at the ocean. Two primary bedrooms on separate floors!! So you can bring your parents!! LOL Wonderful house, great location. Close to a lot things to do and restaurants but just far enough to be peaceful and safe. Wish that I could give higher than a 5 star rating. This place is a 10
What a perfect stay and beautiful beach. We loved the sunrises, all the wildlife, including diving pelicans and a pod of dolphins! This was the best stocked kitchen of any vacation home we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was labeled and organized so well. Beds were very comfy! And the town was very cute too :).
We had a great time and the house was in a perfect location! We were able to walk to dinner and get ice cream multiple evenings and really enjoyed evenings relaxing in the hot tub looking out at the ocean. Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks so much for your review, Elizabeth! We're so happy you had a great holiday weekend at our beach home, and would love to have you visit, again!
Lovely accommodations and a great view of the beach. Beach access was easy and the porch was inviting. We watched the surf while we drank coffee in the morning and wine in the evening! Restful and restorative. While we needed little, Donna was very responsive when we reached out. As forewarned in the listing, the stairs, both inside and out, are steep so we factored that into our stay.
My wife and I loved this property. The home was beautifully decorated, very clean and organized, and the communication with Donna was very easy. The overall experience was wonderful. My family and I needed the time away and look forward to another visit.
