We really enjoyed our stay. Loved being so close to the beach. House isn’t fancy, but suited us well - very comfortable and family-friendly. It has great porches for watching the sunset, well-equipped kitchen, some beach supplies, outdoor shower. We hope to be back!

Hi Nancy,
We are happy to hear this house was such a great fit for your family vacation. Thank you so much for renting with us! We hope to see you again soon.
Thank You,

This is the perfect beach house for families!!! We stayed with 3 kids, our dogs, and our parents. The location is perfect, a very short walk to public beach access. Topsail beach is the cleanest and nicest beach we've been to. The house has literally everything you need... to include boogie boards, umbrellas, etc. We even saw a manatee from the back pier! We will definitely book again next year!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable stay at our beach house. The location and amenities seem to have been a great fit for your vacation needs. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back next year. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we hope you create many more cherished memories at our property.
We love Topsail Beach and rented the Boyd house mostly because of the location (near my sister’s house) and because it was on the canal and pet friendly. It was like going to the grandparents beach house! Very quaint.
However, the mattresses and linens were very poor quality. The queen/twin bedroom smelled of mildew.
With older features, the house needs to be extra clean -this was not the case. Overall, we had a nice week but I do suggest some improvements.

Great location, spacious and well furnished!
Loved staying here with my family for the week! It was both beautiful and affordable with stunning views and access to the water. It comes with a well stocked kitchen for cooking and entertaining and several decks and areas to vegetate and either sit and read or gather and hang out . Wonderful place to get away from it all!
