Finished a week at this house for a family reunion with all age groups. I have been renting houses on Topsail for decades and this house was one of my favorite houses we have stayed at. While the cost was relatively high for a non-oceanfront house, it was one of the best houses for large groups. The house is new. The a/c was able to keep up with our larger group on one of the hottest weeks (many of the other houses we have rented have had trouble in this area). The beds were smartly arranged for large groups. Every room except 2 have their own separate bathroom plus an extra near the living room. Having two dishwashers was awesome for our group as we cook every night for 20 people. Plenty of pots, pans (although I'd love to see a few more large pots/pans), silverware, plates, etc. Two dinner tables with lots of seating. Large fridge with smaller drink fridge in LR was also key. Having the bedding/bath towels, soap in BR, lots of beach towels, and many other small touches made the difference. We had one issue with the elevator and it was fixed within an hour! Walk to the beach was easy and this section of the beach was less crowded than some of the other parts I visited that week. Honestly, this house just worked well for a large group.
