Annual family beach trip 2025

We have been coming north topsail for 15 years. The house was lovely, quick to the beach, wooden walkway could use some care( a few nails/screws poking up). We had lovely neighbors to share the deck. Loved the living space downstairs, we could play games and visit with everyone, cozy without being crowed. Kitchen was well appointed. Donna was quick yo respond to any issues. We never found the paddleboard. Get out early to set up your beach chairs and tent.

Great property, right on the beach. Hot tub was a plus! Great place for 9-12 people and good for a 2x family get away (friends/extended family). Clean, kitchen was well stocked! If there are kiddos in your group, the pool (shared with other rentals in the condo group) was a major plus on windy days (high tide).

Home was not in shape to rent. Advertizing deceptive. Change my trust in VRBO. contacted owner with a very unsatisfing responce. May no vacation in Topsail again. Btween raised nail(cut kids feet) and non functioning toilet and freezer. Not a pleasant stay. Besides the ocean being there this is worst stay at Topsail. Most lokely last
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Aug 2025
It’s disheartening to receive a review like this, especially since the guest reached out only after checkout. Had we been contacted during the stay, we would have been more than happy to address any concerns right away. For example, the toilet issue was resolved within 15 minutes once we were made aware, and the freezer concern appears to have been related to a door track that was not damaged prior to the guest’s arrival. As for the nails on the deck, this is something we could have immediately sent our maintenance team to fix, and we always recommend wearing shoes or flip-flops outdoors for safety. We take great pride in caring for our home and providing a positive experience, as reflected in 13 years of consistently strong reviews. We hope future guests will feel reassured knowing we are responsive, attentive, and committed to making every stay enjoyable.

We’ve been going to topsail every year for the past decade. We’ve stayed in bigger places but none that were as close to the ocean as this place! The proximity to the ocean can’t be beat. This home was well stocked with everything you need, the only time we left was to go to Food Lion which is a short drive away. We loved your home and hope to be back next year if you’ll have us!

Great for a group

I wish we could have stayed longer! This condo was perfect for our girls-get-away long weekend. 5 bed rooms and 4 bathrooms gave everyone plenty of space. Donna was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The views from all the decks were amazing and even with the windows closed, you can hear the sound of the waves. The condo is located on a very quiet street private street. It was a little disconcerting to have to buy toilet paper, dishsoap and trash bags but I can understand the reasoning for longer stays. This condo is 4 stories top to bottom from the ground and the elevator only goes to the main floor, so if you have trouble with stairs, this might not be the place for you. It would be a great place to spend the week as a family.

Hi Mara, Thanks for the review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We recently started renting for stays shorter than 7 days since people were looking for weekend getaways. We thought the start up of paper towels, TP, and detergent provided would be enough but thanks for letting us know. We will definitely provide more for the weekend stays since I can see how that could be frustrating. Come back with the family for a week in the summer. It’s beautiful! Maureen & family

Family Vacation

We had a family vacation with my husband, parents, son, daughter in law and 7 month old grand daughter. This was our first time in Top Sail. The house was great. Well equipped. Perfect distance to walk the path to the beach. Kitchen was well equipped. Lots of beach chairs and toys. Everything thing was in great working condition. Donna was great in answering questions. I would suggest that the description state it is a connected home. Although our neighbors were great the main deck is only semi private because the home is not a stand alone single family house. (If that was stated - I apologize) Overall a great vacation home.

North Topsail Beach - Villas by the Sea

We enjoyed a great stay at this property in North Topsail Beach. Located in the Villas By The Sea complex, the location is very convenient to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, etc. in either Sneads Ferry or Surf City. Our favorites were Sears Landing (breakfast), Shaka Taco (lunch), Rick's (dinner), Agave Azul (dinner), and Trailer Bar (drinks). Just steps from the ocean, the beach was relatively quiet since the beach access is for homes within the Villas. The hot tub and neighborhood pool were nice to have as alternatives to the beach. The home comfortably slept our group of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids), and we even had an extra bedroom that wasn't used. There's plenty of parking for at least four vehicles, and the elevator makes loading and unloading a breeze. On top of everything, Donna was very responsive and great to work with. Thanks again!

Great spot for an extended family

Property was perfect for us! We were a group of 7 adults, 5 kids (2-9) and everyone had an amazing time. The location is perfect - especially for kids - as you are right on the beach, so can go in and out without packing anything up. And access to the pool was the best way to break up our day. We would spend mornings in the sand and surf, and the afternoons in the pool. It's not in the main Topsail town, but if you plan on cooking for yourself and spending time in the home, it's a great location close enough to a grocery. The home was well stocked with kitchen gear, spices, beach toys, and baby gear (pack n play, high chair). The only thing I wished had been included were beach towels. The management was quick to respond when we had questions/concerns. And we were able to access the property early which is always a plus! Thanks for a great week!

Sun-sational!

Top Sail Island has been a family favorite since we first vacationed there in 2001. We always enjoy our time at the beach but we've never stayed somewhere that was so comfortable that we wanted to stay there another year. This year we found the place that made us say "next time we land in Top Sail let's stay here again!" Oceanfront with lovely ocean views from each deck; wonderful walkway to the beach; small community with a pool; comfortable beds; elevator; hot tub; well stocked kitchen supplies; well stocked everything - books, games, dvd's, multiple tv's with roku, kids toys, high chair, deck furniture, great outdoor shower and beach supply closet. Excellent communication with manager and owners. AND a wonderful restaurant (at Villa Capriani) as well as the pier ice cream shop within walking distance. The week wasn't perfect (it included a trip to an urgent care facility and more stormy weather than we wanted) but having the comforts of home to R&R in made it much easier to remind ourselves that life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Sawyer

Host profile image
We started vacationing on Topsail island in 2009 and we just fell in love with it. We live in NJ and have three busy kids and we love that Topsail is a place to relax and enjoy the ocean.

Why they chose this property

We Chose Villas By the Sea because of it's ocean front beauty, private hot tub and community pool. My kids have met other kids at the pool and had a great time but then we also have our privacy back at the house. We love the restaurants but also love to cook at home when we have friends come down with us. We hope you will enjoy your vacation as much as we do!
