Quiet beach getaway
The house was clean and spacious. Huge main bedroom with a second floor balcony with a great view of the beach. Large beach with no crowds. Awesome spot for a laid back family vacation.

What a view!
There are a couple of things that weren't exactly right, (we didn't find the dishes for a day since they were left in the dishwasher.) but nothing that could take away at all from the overall setting. The host was also very cooperative when we found a broken table. He took care of it in a matter of just a few hours.

Great location
This house has a terrific view, beach access and the decks are both covered, which allowed us to sit in the shade at any point in the day and enjoy the ocean breeze. The beach in front of the house was not heavily populated during our stay (July 4th week). The house was clean and well-equipped and our host was responsive. We did a lot of our own food prep and the kitchen had what we needed.

So relaxing!
The Golden Dog Inn is in a perfect location with beautiful views of the ocean and an easy drive to both Surf City and Topsail Beach. The condo was very comfortable with everything that we needed (you do have to bring your own bedding and towels). The fenced in back yard was perfect for our dog. We loved being right across from the beach. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. We highly recommend this property.

Exceptional Experience!
Everything about this property exceeded our expectations. The home was well taken care of and had all of the modern conveniences that you would want. Everything was clean and well-kept. The view from each porch was perfect, especially in the morning. The location on the island was convenient to restaurants and shopping. I have been coming to topsail Island for 40 years and I have to say that this location was prime. The owners were very friendly and prompt with communication. Even though this property is dog friendly, you would never know because of the cleanliness. Loved our stay!

A Dog-Gone good time’
The photos don’t do justice to the house. Our two small dogs enjoyed the back yard and deck. The private beach entrance gate is directly across the street—if you forget beverages or dogs, it is maybe six minutes round trip from your beach umbrella to the house and back. The two oceanside decks offer beautiful views. The upper deck (on the third floor) has especially great views. Some comfortable deck furniture up there would really be nice. The captain’s chairs on the lower deck were great fun. Good kitchen. Very private. We had a good time. The dogs had a good time. A beautiful week.

Great house with a wonderful view!
We had a wonderful stay! The house was spacious and very clean. We loved the view from the deck! It was very quiet and peaceful. It’s a short walk to beach and it always felt as if we were the only ones there. Our Corgi’s loved the fenced in back yard. It was nice just to let them out there without a leash. The check in and out process was very easy. John is a great host and communicates well! We plan on coming back!

Lovely place
We loved our first stay on Topsail Island. The house was clean and conveniently located. Gorgeous views of the ocean from two covered decks. The beach is particularly wide compared to OBX with not many people on it Our pup loved the fenced in backyard. The only drawback was the road noise, especially on the weekend. The kids and I didn't much mind it. Our pup did. All in all, a wonderful vacation.

Great Location
Can’t beat the location and proximity to the beach. Love that the unit has its own private dune crossing located directly in front of the unit. The pictures on the listing don’t do the place justice it is much more spacious and light filled than shown - we were pleasantly surprised! Will be back again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is ideal, directly across from the beach and close to town. Joe is a wonderful host and very responsive to any questions or requests. We rented a tent and chairs from Sweet Dreams which were delivered right on time. Couldn't have been a more enjoyable week!

Wonderful Family Easter Break Getaway!
This is the perfect beach rental for a small family that's wants a dog friendly vacation! The home is beautifully decorated and very clean. I say home, because that's exactly how we felt renting from John. He was very friendly, prompt with communication and has added all the right touches to this property to make you feel at home. We had a wonderfully relaxing week and would love to visit again. Thanks for offering such a lovely home for us to enjoy!

Perfect Escape
We had an incredible time at the Golden Dog Inn! The house is very clean and the views everything. The sunny deck off of the living room that provided shade and shelter from the wind when we needed it was our favorite spot. John was an excellent host and we were so grateful for the perfect, dog-friendly escape. Thank you again, John!

Fantastic vacation
We had a wonderful vacation! The house was so clean (and so spacious!), and both fur-baby and human-baby friendly (no breakable decor to worry about!). The kitchen included enough cookware for our needs. The garage made packing/unpacking so nice, and the fenced yard was great for our dog. FYI don’t bother bringing the beach cart/wagon- the beach is so close and there are a fair amount of steps on the private board walk down to the beach. John was a great host, as well. This was our first Topsail experience and we loved everything about it, except leaving!

Great Trip
We brought our dog and three kids and had a great time! House was incredibly clean and very spacious. Great access to the beach, which was very private, not a hotel in sight! This accommodation was not only very pet friendly, which is rare to find, but also did not show any signs of pet abuse or damage, which shows how great the owners are in keeping up with the place. The owners were available when we had questions, didn’t have to go through third parties. Can’t wait to stay again!

Host profile image
This is carmen and gema.
They are our inspiration for the golden dog inn.
We are very involved in the protection of animals
And make regular donations to help our furry friends.

Why they chose this property

The golden dog inn is a beachfront - ocean view,
Pet friendly property located between
Surf city, and the town of topsail beach.
There is a wide variety of restaurants, gift and beach shops,
Groceries and a market where you can buy fresh local seafood.

This is a spot where you can truly unwind
And leave your worries behind.
Plan to visit soon and enjoy our little piece of
Paradise at the beach!

What makes this property unique

Topsail island north carolina
Is a family-oriented, casual beach community
And undeveloped compared to most other beaches along the coast.
Life is simple here, there are no high-rise hotels or boardwalks.
Pristine white sand beaches meet the ocean in the east,
While the serene intra-coastal waterway borders
The marshes and creeks on the sound side.
You can go boating or kayaking and look for
Great blue herons, osprey and other wildlife.
There are nearby bike rentals and a bike path
That goes down the entire length of the island.
