About the host
Hosted by Alan Martin
We are a small family of 5 with two amazing little boys and our precious baby girl. We are self-proclaimed beach bums and fell in love with Topsail Island after our first family vacation there (as a family of 3) in 2020. We take great pride in our listings and strive to give each and every guest a 5-star experience in our favorite place.
As hosts, we are here for you at ANY time for ANY reason no matter how small.
We would love to host you for your next beach getaway!
