Perfect spot for a beach vacation

Our stay here and it was exactly as described. House had everything we needed and was the perfect size. We enjoyed sitting up on the top deck in the evening with a super view of the beach and ocean as well as relaxing in the hot tub.

We enjoyed our time at Teach’s Lookout. Five of us two dogs stayed for two weeks in June, and the beach was consistently used by nearby houses but not crowded. The view was even better than anticipated, and the gates on the deck made it so easy to sit out with the dogs without worrying about what they might get into. We could always find shade or sun, depending on our moods and the temp. The crow’s nest deck was fun to use and provided a broader view for early morning coffee and late-night beverages.The access point was so convenient, and this section of the beach was very clean and quiet. We always stay oceanside, but this spot just across the street was just as nice.We used the hot tub quite a bit — it was a perfect activity when we didn’t have the time to take our stuff to the sand across the street. The house had nearly everything we needed, and the living room area was very comfortable. The outside shower was great, and the laundry room was very neatly kept.We used Andrew’s Produce quite a bit during this stay, given how close it is! Fresh fruits, veggies, pies, and some jams that we bought as souvenirs to bring home for family and friends.This is a classic beach house, which we love. Well-kept, smaller, more vintage houses are getting harder and harder to find. We are grateful this one was shared with us for a few weeks.

Perfect Cozy Cottage on the Water

We loved everything about this house! The location is perfect for a quiet family vacation in Topsail Beach. The kids loved being so close to the water and beach to play everyday. We loved watching the dolphins right from the deck, sunrises were amazing, and the house was just right for our family of 5. Having on site laundry was a HUGE bonus for a beach vacation stay. The house was immaculate when we arrived, and the check in process was a breeze.

Super property for a couple and a dog

This property was perfect for us. Excellent situation close to beach and wonderful views of the ocean. Well equipped with everything we needed, more than was expected after reading information. Huge deck with gates to stairs which meant we could allow our dog to lie outside and not worry. The hot tube was wonderful, perfect temperature, fairly private and good views. Loved the tall chairs, perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by. Superb place to relax and unwind.

Great view, poor house.

The location of the home was amazing. The cleanliness of the home was also good. But there was only one trash bag. The kitchen lights did not work. The Wi-Fi went out half way through our stay and did not turn back on. The bathroom exhaust fan did not work. The master bedroom ceiling fan was incredibly noisy. There was several nails and screws sticking up on the deck. The view was amazing and we loved being so close to the beach.

Thank you for your feedback, Dustin. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, and proximity to the beach. However, we apologize for the issues you faced, including the limited trash bags, non-functional kitchen lights, Wi-Fi outage, faulty bathroom exhaust fan, noisy ceiling fan, and safety concerns with the deck. We take these issues seriously and will address them with our maintenance team. Your feedback is crucial for us, and we are committed to making improvements for future guests. We hope to host you again and provide a stay that meets your expectations.

Perfect low-key, restful vacation home

This beautiful little home is perfect for getting away to do a lot of nothing but basking in the slowness of Topsail Island. First of all, North Topsail Beach is quiet and friendly. We were steps from the beach. You can walk or bike on the quiet road that roads behind the home. We spent so much time on the porch and levels of decks. The views are spectacular. We have been to other Carolina beaches. This one is much less crowded. We spent the week as a family enjoying each other's company but could easily move to an area (porch, deck, bedroom) to be alone for a bit. The kitchen has what you will need for simple meals. It is an older property but has new windows and flouring. There is a new water heater. The AC was great.

Fantastic find

The house was amazing. Just as advertised. Views were fantastic. We had one fantastic sunset due to cloudiness. Some nights were a bit chilly but the hot tub made up for it. We were presented with falling stars one night, a beautiful rainbow over the ocean another day. Even caught glimps of dolphins. Day trip to Wilmington. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Also a lovely hike over the intercostal waterway bridge. A fantastic week to start 2025. Could become our New Years tradition. One warning though. If you have a fur baby the yard is true to being a beach yard with sand spurs. Ours picked a couple in his paws but was easily removed. 10 stars from us.

Great Outdoor Living Space

We loved the house and the location. The deck area and outdoor living space was amazing. We had such a great time and will always love the location and the memories made there. The only reason I took away a star was because the beds were not that comfortable and the master bedroom also stayed way warmer than the other rooms. The bunk room would be ice cold while the master was warm. We tried variations of keeping the bedroom doors open or closed and couldn’t quite get the temperature right to stay cool at night in the master. The house is so cute though and the decor was great as well. We had plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, etc provided. We wouldn’t change a thing except to have been a little more comfortable while sleeping.

Thank you for taking the time to write your honest review, Jamie. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the beds that were not comfortable, and the master bedroom didn't cool enough. We appreciate you bringing this up with us. We'll have our local staff take a look at this for observation and get things better at home. We hope to have the chance to host your trip again in the future.

Great views and nice deck. Small, quaint, comfortable place. When we got to the house, there was no basic essentials, like no toilet paper, soap, scrub brushes, paper towels, towels, trashbags, etc. We were told that these were supplied (on listing and over messaging). Reached out to Vacasa, they did not get back to me until the next day. I requested compensation and they did accordingly. We were only able to take about a 3 minute shower before the hot water started running out, which was disappointing. Hot tub maintenance people came one day without any kind of notification beforehand.

Thank you for your review, Kourtney. We appreciate your honest feedback and we are sorry that the home did not have the starter kit of supplies we usually stock our properties with. We understand how inconvenient this was for your and we appreciate you allowing us to compensate for the trouble. We apologize for the unexpected visit from our team. We will certainly follow up with the appropriate parties to ensure that we are in communication with our guests regarding any home visits. We hope we can host you again soon!
