Guestbook comments from the owner
The house was absolutely PERFECT for our family. Everything was exactly as you said it would be on the website. Your attention to detail is phenomenal! All the extras you provided were fantastic — beach chairs, beach towels, toys, bed rails, large pot for a great low-country boil, internet, pool and beach toys, etc., etc. I could go on and on. Thanks for the great memories you helped to provide to our Family. It is greatly appreciated!

Exceptional choice for a beach house rental
As a luxury vacation home owner who also rents, I can be somewhat "picky" when it comes to choosing a vacation home for my family. I think my opinion may perhaps matter more than some.
Idyll by the Sea is certainly the finest beach house I have ever rented. Exceptionally well-equipped, in fact stunningly well equipped, the house is likely your best choice in the area for a large, luxury rental. Beautifully situated directly on the beach, Idyll is well laid out, lovingly maintained, and perfect in virtually every way.
Most importantly, you may rest assured the house is not only as good as advertised, but even better than you expect when you arrive. I strongly suggest a visit to their website prior to making your decision. A VRBO ad can only go so far in showing a house's features. Theirs is a comprehensive website well worth the visit.
The owner is very helpful, easy to work with and a font of good information.
I have, literally, not a single complaint about my stay at Idyll by the Sea, and plan to return.
Great house in a great spot
Our extended family of 14 had a wonderful time here over the long MLK weekend in January. The consensus view was that this was the best of many houses that we’ve rented over the years. It has wonderful views, nice decor, great common spaces, a wonderful kitchen, lovely hot tub and, as we hoped, a layout that worked well for our 90-year old matriarch. The house is full of lovely and unexpectedly delightful touches from a bedroom and bathroom that are really handicapped accessible to the lovely solar powered tea lights on the deck and the wonderful outdoor couch on the top floor porch. Even the somewhat less than great weather couldn’t put a damper on a great time.
The Nicest House in Topsail!
We had our wedding/honeymoon at Idyll By The Sea in North Topsail, and we had the time of our lives. The home has to be the nicest home on Topsail - 8 bedrooms, huge kitchen/family room, heated pool, hot tub, top floor master suite all by itself, oceanfront, the list goes on and on. Carol was a joy to deal with and made us feel at home. Speaking of feeling at home, since Carol and her family use this house frequently, it has the feel of being in a "home" as opposed to a "rental", with beautiful décor throughout. We loved every aspect of this home and would love to revisit this spot in the future. This home is also pet-friendly, and needless to say our dog loved it there! Highly recommended for anyone looking for the best large home luxury rental on the island!
Our HOME Away From Home!
You are in for a real treat with this gorgeous house!! Our family has been coming back for many years, and feel truly blessed to stay in such a lovely well-cared for home! This feels like a home you are sharing—and you are! There are so many places to hang out and relax, and we’ve enjoyed them all! My favorites are hanging out under the porte cochere while the kids ride bike or do chalk drawings, watching sunsets from the screened in porch outside of the playroom, reading on the fabulous deck chaise lounges, and enjoying the warmth of the fireplace in cool weather. There is so much to keep everyone occupied that you have no desire to venture anywhere else! There are tons of games and puzzles, movies, cookbooks and novels for young readers and adults, and a fully outfitted kitchen for any kind of baking or cooking you can dream up!! The fresh seafood available nearby is a must! And there are even fresh herbs by the pool to use! The owners certainly have an eye towards pampering their guests! (Down beds, coffee, luxurious robes…) There are so many whimsical decorative touches as well to make you smile. If you go near the holidays you will even find the place extensively decorated! The location is absolutely perfect, with easy access to the beach, and groceries nearby for creating those family meals and special treats. From morning runs on the beach to shark teeth hunting and long afternoon walks, to late night sparklers, the beach is spectacular in all the seasons we’ve visited! Our last trip involved boogie boarding and catching the waves--that’s how you make a grown up giggle! And of course the pool! The pool is large enough to really swim, play volleyball, or whatever games the kids think up. It feels very private and sheltered from the wind, and has a nearby ping pong table, pool table, and ice maker. Follow that up with time in the hot tub, and you feel like life couldn’t get better! Thanks so much for sharing your spectacular home with us!
Perfect - Blissful - Beautiful - Simple
I spent a week with six (6) friends/professional colleagues at this beautiful home. We spent nearly a year planning for our stay; communication with the owner was excellent and very accommodating. Each one of us had our own room; the main living areas are spacious/open/airy. And, the unique and treasured perk of immediate access to the ocean via a few steps from the property provided the serene environment needed for a bunch of busy professionals from the Midwest! The time spent at Idyll by the Sea Two was, by far, the BEST vacation I've had in my 57 years of life. I am looking forward to my next-scheduled trip in 2016!
Paradise!
My favorite place EVER!! We had a family reunion in this beautiful home that everyone will be talking about for years to come. This rental is the best stocked lodging we have ever stayed...multiple sets of dishes, every kitchen gadget, plenty of toasters & coffee makers, two dishwashers and plenty of counter space...great cooking kitchen for a crowd. The pool area was spacious with plenty of toys for the kids/teens. The beach is accessed by your own walkway and the view is amazing. There is also a well stocked game room. The top floor is a spa with a sauna and steam shower. We brought our dog which added to our peace of mind. There was even a dog run, dog dishes, waste bags and treats provided by the hosts. We also got a gift bag with beach toys and other fun gifts from the hosts. The beds were comfy and most were ensuite. There were plenty of washers and dryers...a set on every level. The accessible Master bedroom on the main floor was perfect for our relative with MS. Most of our time was spent around the pool, walking the beach or on the decks enjoying the family. We did force ourselves to leave the "resort spa" for dinner a couple of nights and to shop the fresh fish markets nearby. But we all agreed that just "chilling' at home" was the most fun of the vacation. We hope to return each year.
Map
Idyll-by-the-Sea Two is located in the 'Ocean Sound Village' gated community, in an amazing location just over the high rise bridge, so you don't have to fight traffic on the island.
