We loved this property! Each bedroom has its own bathroom attached, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. There were cabinets full of games and puzzles. Separate sitting areas throughout the house to allow for people to hang out alone or all together. There were a couple things that are showing wear but overall one of the best homes we have stayed in and I will return!

The best family beach house

We loved everything. This was our first stay in Surf City but won’t be the last. The beach is nice and wide, even at high tide. And no high rises! Definitely a family orient beach.

Well equipped, fantastic place to stay!

The place felt like home…..anything we needed, we looked around and found. Never stayed at a rental beach home that supplied spices for stay-at-home cooking- simply loved this place. Only complaint I have is with VRBO- difficult to get anyone to answer the phones- Called multiple times on multiple days.

Shore sunsations

The kitchen was well stocked. The rooms/bathrooms were a nice size. The two decks were nice to have. The ice machine was a great item to have. The location to town was great. We liked how close to the beach the house was and how clean the beach was. The house was plenty large enough for 12 family members and 1 11 month old little guy. We would stay there again.

Christmas at the beach

Due to some mobility issues following surgery,my wife needed a elevator on the top floor for the week. We basically lived on the top floor for the week. More than met our needs. Will consider in the future.

Nice but needs some TLC

The upper deck facing the ocean needs new nails/hardware. Lots of rusted nails and split joists where nailed together that compromise its structural integrity- from a civil engineer. Great location. Beds were comfortable.
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on Jul 3, 2024
Christian, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the great location and found the beds comfortable. We take your concerns about the upper deck very seriously, especially given your expertise as a civil engineer. Safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we will promptly address the issue with our local operations manager of the rusted nails and split joists to ensure the structural integrity of the deck. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to improve our home. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

A wonderful week at Topsail Beach

Shore Sensation has been our "go to" vacation home for many years, and this year was wonderful as usual. We always appreciate the direct beach access, and were glad that this is still the case after last year's hurricane damage; my wife and I saw several houses that sadly had no direct beach access on our morning beach walk. The home has been improved since our last visit, with a new elevator and new seat covers, but it was still the same beautiful home we have loved coming back to regularly.

Beach Home In Surf City

We had a great time. The weather was perfect. The location was amazing. The home was one of the best we have rented to date. It is fully stocked with everything you would need. Even items for the beach were available which made it great for us, we didn’t need to bring any of it with us. One of our favorite features of the home was the elevator. It was such a relief not lugging all the heavy luggage up 2 flights of stairs. Only disappointment was not having more time. One week wasn’t long enough for us.

Great Family Vacation Home

This was our second year at Shore Sensation. This house is fantastic for a family trip. The layout of the house is great with spaces to be together and spaces to spread out to. We have been at many beach houses and this one rates at the top for supplies in the kitchen. Everything you could need, and more, for cooking in for the week is there. Also many beach houses sleep more people then there is actually seating in the dining room to all eat together. This one provides a super large table to eat at as well as an island to also sit at. With elderly parents the elevator made it possible for them to enjoy this trip. The oceanfront decks are also well appointed with great seating options in or out of the sun. Finally all the other things in the home like books and games as well as supplies to enjoy the beach or go for a bike ride are great. Don’t hesitate. Book it!!
