This house was perfect for our family! The ocean views from the deck & house were amazing! We loved being on the north end of the island where it was quieter. The fact that it was pet friendly & clean was great. The walk to the beach was so close…we will be back for sure!

We enjoyed our stay at the beach. This property had everything that we needed, and was in a great location. It was nice to be able to enjoy our coffee on the porch and watch the waves roll in. Unfortunately, the fenced in backyard for the pups was overgrown and needed to be weeded. We called the rental group but no one came to mow. Backyard pictures were deceiving.

Loved all the windows and being able to easily see the ocean from the sofa, kitchen, and decks! Comfortable furniture inside and out. Figuring out the light and ceiling fan switches made for a fun little scavenger hunt. Beach access is very close and there's a nice outdoor shower.

Topsail getaway for two plus a pooch

Great house! Right by the beach. Loved the inside and the fenced in backyard for our dog. Has great views of the sound and beach. We will definitely return. Great communication by management. There were some cons, but not enough to keep us from coming back.

Wonderful stay on our Christmas trip. Kitchen well stocked with utensils. Very short walk to beach. Just a few things needed addressing, washing machine did not work well at all, would suggest more blankets, side door keypad did not work and back yard needs some tlc. We brought a lot of wood and used the firepit almost every night. With all that aside everything was nice, dogs loved laying out on the wrap around porch and trips to the beach. Very quiet area, loved walking down the secondary street, which is just shy of a mile. Would stay again.

Sweet and too short

Loved the property!! It’s perfect for us and our two dogs. Location is perfect. We could listen to the ocean and had a nice view of beach from the porches. Great for reading a book in the afternoon. We loved having the fenced in backyard with firepit. Lots of flowers. The house is nicely decorated with beach themes. Loved the master bedroom. We had a wonderful time. Thanks for having us.

Great Rental

Great location. Fantastic fenced yard. Short walk to public beach access. Beautifully decorated with all needed for kitchen. Please label the light switches. The master bedroom mattress was the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on so I switched bedrooms. Porches were great. Our dogs were happy in the yard able to be off leash.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 13, 2025
Hello Rebecca, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're so glad you enjoyed the fantastic fenced yard, the convenient walk to the beach, and that your dogs had a great time off-leash—that truly sounds like a wonderful stay! I’m sorry to hear that the master bedroom mattress was uncomfortable for you. I completely understand how important a good night's sleep is, and I’m glad you were able to find a more comfortable spot in the other bedroom. Your suggestion to label the light switches is a great idea, and I’ll be sure to pass that along to our local team to help make future stays even better. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We hope to welcome you and your furry friends back for another enjoyable visit soon!

Perfect location, amazing kitchen, awesome views

So many places to sit and chill! Swing on front porch high top for al fresco dining, screened porch for watching the storms move in! Enjoyed the fire pit with fenced in yard for Millie, the dog. The Topsail, Mayberry by the Sea, was finished in two days. Great cookbooks and every utensil you could want. Thank you so much!

The location of this house is great, with views of the ocean from the porch, and the furnishings are relatively comfortable, but the property, including the house itself, had a sad air of neglect. Hope the owners are able to give it a little TLC in the coming weeks.

Summer vaca 2023

We spent a week on vacation with our youngest 2 grown children and 7 month old.granddaughter. It would have been better if the washing machine was working so we could wash clothes as needed. Unfornately the property management company didnt arrange to have repairs completed during our stay as stated when problem was reported.

Overall one of the best rentals we’ve ever found for 2 adults and our dog. We look forward to returning. Pros: The clean, modern decor, great cooking/ living space, linens included made this home feel very comfortable. Our dog enjoyed being off leash in the fully fenced backyard. The ocean views from the deck & screened porch and a short walk to the beach cannot be beat. This house was the perfect size (and price) for our little family of 2 adults 1 dog. Cons: The keypad lock access code Vacasa emailed us prior to arrival was incorrect and we had to contact them to gain entry. We could not use the cargo elevator for unloading/ repacking our vehicle. The refrigerator is missing most of the plastic shelves on the inside of the door which limited storage space. The 2 charcoal grills in the carport were not clean/ usable (fortunately we travel with our own). There are A LOT of light switches in this house and the owners may want to consider labeling them. There was no instruction binder like in many homes to provide emergency numbers, trash/ recycle days, restaurant or activity recommendations, instructions for check-in/out, etc.
