We so enjoyed our stay at the Pearl! Susan was super to work with, the house was very clean and it was so convenient for the beach. The kitchen was well equipped and the volleyball and putt putt areas were enjoyed by our kids. The elevator was great to have with aging parents. Highly recommend!

From check in to check out our stay at the Flip Flop Inn was amazing! Susan was an outstanding host! Quick to respond to any questions I had about the house before and during the stay! The Flip Flop Inn felt like home the moment we stepped into the house! The elevator was a game changer! (my two dogs enjoyed the ride on the elevator to go on their walks daily)The walkway to the beach was one of the nicest we have experienced. Having the ramp to get out to the beach made it easy to take out all the beach items! We had one our best vacations!! The kitchen had everything we needed! One of the most well stocked kitchens we have seen! Hosts Susan and Bob are the real deal!!! Thanks for an amazing stay!

We loved our stay at Pearl by the Sea! We had 6 adults and 6 kids. The house had everything we needed and then some! The owner was very responsive and communicated with us well before our trip and checked in during. The house was very clean and organized. It was 100% family friendly with a fun bunk room, all the beach toys and supplies we could need, and a fun volleyball court. Everyone was comfortable with space to spread out and for us all to hang out together. We will 100% be booking this house again next year!

The house was everything we wanted and needed! It is right on the beach and at the end of the road so you truly feel secluded. The beach was beautiful and not very busy for our spring break. The house was also perfect for our family. The elevator worked great for those who struggle with stairs. All the bedrooms had great space, a nice bed, and beautiful beach decor. Plenty of fridge space, beach chairs, kitchenware, oh and the best space was the 3 different decks you can enjoy ocean views from. We had an awesome time and you will too!

Weekly Wonderful

What a fabulous place!

The Pearl will not disappoint! The location is perfect-oceanfront, beautiful yard, close to amenities. It has the best well-stocked kitchen I have ever seen!! Our family loved the decor, the large kitchen table for meals and puzzles, the elevator for hauling up suitcases/groceries, and the kid toys and games. Wonderful!

“The Pearl by the Sea” was a Pearl!

We just finish an adult only family reunion at Topsail and “The Pearl”. Beautiful home with bright, beach colors and all the amenities of your own home! Especially liked the the elevator, walk way to the beach and the ice machine downstairs.

Great property, super vacation

There is no downside to this property. The property owners are attentive and helpful. The house is beautifully furnished. The best part is the wide front porch off of the kitchen living area where we spent many hours enjoying the view and letting the little ones play. We hope to return next year!

Wonderful week at the Pearl

We had an amazing stay at the Pearl. It was a very last minute booking (other host canceled last minute, putting us in quite a predicament) and Susan was very responsive and helpful. Our group of 8 had plenty of room. The kids absolutely loved the amenities, including volleyball court, pool, etc. My family loves to cook, and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked. They’ve thought of everything. The owners were amazing to deal with, and I would highly recommend this property for your next vacation.

One of the nicest properties we’ve ever stayed in!

This house was so fabulous that I don’t know where to start. The home owners clearly take a lot of pride in this property. It is very clean and the kitchen is well-equipped (we like to cook) and even has an ice machine. There’s so much attention to detail - from beachy wall sconces and murals in the ceramic floor tile to a dolphin shaped handle on the foot wash station. Super convenient walkway straight onto the beach plus gorgeous balconies to sit and sip wine and enjoy the ocean from (the gate on the deck was crucial in keeping the grandkids contained!) Definitely recommend this wonderful house!!

Great for Large Group

Our family had a great time (except for Hurricane Debbie) staying at the Pearl. Susan is easy to communicate with and helped with all our needs prior to our visit and during the visit. Read the reviews before going because the house has so much to offer! If you are tight on space, leave your chairs at home and use the Tommy Bahama chairs that are at the house! There is a second fridge and an ice machine!! So helpful if you are like us and make all your meals for the week.

November getaway

We’ve stayed at many houses on Topsail and this was the best. It is hard to find an ocean front house that takes dogs and has an elevator , but this one has it all. The house is stocked with beach gear, nice kitchen equipment, bath and beach towels, fans, sheets, ice machine and extra fridge. It’s in a good location in the center of the island. It has an elevator and is dog friendly. The kids loved the volleyball court and mini golf course. Lots of yard space for the pups. There’s also a community pool.Susan was great-very communicative and conscientious. This is an A house!

A Pearl by the Sea is perfectly named. What a gem of a property! This spacious home is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with a beautiful ocean-front view, well-appointed bedrooms/baths, a kitchen that is a fully stocked with everything you could possibly imagine. The decks and walkways to the beach are well designed for easy access. The volleyball court and putt putt are so much fun! Add in Tommy Bahama beach chairs, boogie boards sitting in the outside cubbies, kid toys, and crib, what else do you need for a wonderful vacay!!?? This owner (Susan) thought of every detail to make guests feel like they’re not home away from home. She was incredible at communicating throughout the rental process. We will definitely be renting this property again.

Marvelous home on the beach!

The Pearl has it all - privacy, cleanliness, comfort, convenience, amenities, and most of all close proximity to the most wonderful stretch of private beach area. Our group of 6 adults and 3 children had plenty of room to gather at meal time or scatter for privacy. The kitchen is fully stocked for the days when you want to bbq or cook in. And everyone enjoyed their most comfortable beds. Our favorite thing to do was sit on the porch and simply watch the ocean waves, sunrise/sunset, feel the breeze and breathe in the fresh air, so relaxing. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. And you'll not find a better owner than Bob and Susan Frank. They both went over and above to make our adult autistic son at home so that he could enjoy his time away. In fact, he stated that he always wants to vacation in one of Ms. Susan's homes! Thanks for sharing your beautiful beach home with us, we are very grateful!!

Stay away!

The owner double booked our vacation week, leaving three families with 5 children stranded at 4:00 on check-in day. We had to find our own house at the last minute 1 hour away. While the rental agreement states that if the renter breaks the contract, the owner keeps the full deposit - Susan Frank, the owner, BROKE THE CONTRACT and offered one third of that amount if we would trust her to rent to us in 2017. Seriously? We were given a code that wouldn't work and then watched another couple move in. This person is not trustworthy of representing VRBO.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
I made a mistake and accidentally dual booked this week - only time in 11+ years of renting. However, this renter was not left stranded. We located two equal properties, which the renter initially accepted but later declined and decided to go to another beach. We provided a full refund that day and offered the renter a $1000 discount on a prime week next year. They instead demanded a free week not to write this review. We took this as an extortion attempt and stuck by our original offer knowing there was no way we were going to satisfy this renter.

This vacation rental has it all! Property was well maintained and very clean. All the beds were comfortable and that is always a plus. The kitchen was well stocked and it was especially nice since we cooked most of our meals for a family of 12. Extra refrigerator a plus and what a surprise to have a great ice machine! Perfect place to enjoy the beach. No crowds and my grandchildren entertained themselves looking for sharks teeth in the sand. The pool was conveniently located and never crowded. We all agree this place is a great find and hope to return next year.
