Lovely home with updated kitchen, bathrooms and spacious bedrooms and living area. Not much in the kitchen so if there are nice pots and pans knives etc you’re used to using, bring them yourself. Hot tub was not working at the time. But I had read that review from prior guests and did not expect it to work, bikes are also not usable. Treks decking is very nice and beach is amazing. Outdoor shower has hot water and is awesome.
This house was great! Plenty of room for our family to gather and celebrate each other and the holidays! We loved being right next to the ocean, watching the waves and dolphins, and hearing the birds and ocean. Great location and beautiful home!
View and house was awesome would stay there again. Better view than most seeing the ocean and sound side in the house

Our yearly family vacation at this property was disappointing. The house was in need of so many repairs from walls, ceilings and bathrooms. There was a huge water stain above the shower in the master bath with peeling paint. All showers had hard water stains. The linens on the beds were VERY minimal (sheets were rough, two tiny pillows for a queen, no bedskirts leaving all the boxsprings exposed). The kitchen pans were rusted and gross. There were many dishes and cooking utensils missing. The bikes shown in the photo were rusted and unrideable. For the price of our stay, it was an incredible dissapointment. I am still awaiting a response from the rental agency, Carolina Coast Retreats, about our stay. I can only hope the owner is aware of the state of their home and I would caution anyone looking to rent this home.
House was immaculate, great location, loved the hot tub!

What a view
The views from the house and back deck were awesome. The home is in great shape and it's in a great location on the island. The beach is right off the porch.

Hot tub didn’t heat up til last day of vacation. The king bed was as hard as sleeping on the floor. Door key code is impossible to remember at 10 digits long. Bathrooms were nice
This house did not disappoint, the location was ideal in the middle of the island offering easy access to different restaurants, treats, and shopping. The beach was quiet and the views were amazing. Lots of space for everyone. I would take my family back again. Only bummer was hot tub was cold when we got there and took days to warm up and was struggling to stay warm.

Thank you, Tina, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
The house was beautiful and this is an excellent location. There could be a few more cooking items (pots, pans, etc.) we purchased butter knives because there was only 1. But otherwise the house was great!

Great views and accommodations.
This property deliverd all of the things you look for in a beach vacation. It's ocean front, it has its own beach access, and we really liked having a hose and outdoor shower to clean up with on the way in from the beach. Two decks gave ample.room for people to lounge. The place feels.roomy. I appreciated hav9ng two thermostats for up and downstairs. The roku tvs in each room were splendid so everyone could recharge at night in their own way. I would definitely come back again.

We loved this house and the location! It fit our family of 7 with room to spare and was everything we were wanting! It’s right on the beach beautifully decorated and very well maintained. We had a small issue with the door lock and it was handled immediately. They checked on us to make sure it was still working. The communication was great and everyone was so friendly! We will definitely be back. Even the kids said we have to come back to this exact house next year
Location is very nice, but the cleaning was done superficially and you need to bring everything as one garbage bag and two kitchen towels were provided for 5 days. Given the price, we expected much better equipment.

No after hours help…
No hot water or stove due to lack of propane to the home. Had to call 4 times and didn’t receive contact from local team for 16 hrs. Unacceptable (this coming from a STR owner.)
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Jul 2025
Thank you for your review, Sean. We regret to hear you had a disappointing stay at our home due to the lack of propane. The issue was reported on Sunday, 6/15, at 7:50 PM, which was outside of standard business hours. Once the local office opened at 9:00 AM the following morning, the local operations team contacted the gas company to request a refill. The gas provider completed the service and confirmed by 2:00 PM that same day. Please note that Vacasa does not control the scheduling or availability of third-party gas providers, and they responded as quickly as possible. We understand your frustration and regret the inconvenience caused. Thank you for sharing your insights with us.

This place is lovely for a great beach vacation. It has new owners have added some nice features like top notch kitchen appliances. It might be there are future improvements coming, but my recommendations would include adding curtains that completely cover the windows. Also, adding screens to the working windows would be nice. We like a softer mattress, and the master bed is extra firm, so plan on that. Someone left a large container of dishwasher pods and trash bags, which was nice.
We would definitely rent again, although now that Vacasa has taken over the rates are ridiculously high.

Work in Progress
The Home is beautifully renovated. However, we experienced an issue with the hot water (wasn't any most of the time or became scalding suddenly then back to cold), lack of privacy in bedrooms due to drapes that did not cover the slider entirely; sheer drapes in living room that didn't cover sliders; limited seating in tv area so that we had to use our beach chairs (only 4 of us..no way can 12-14 people fit in this area). It's our understanding the owners are addressing the seating and drape issues. We actually met the owners upon our arrival and they were very caring - they are not the issue here. The water issue was never resolved during our stay and Vacasa admitted they dropped the ball on it. The "local" maintenance person lived an hour and a half away from Topsail. On the third day of being promised a call from local staff, we finally received one. Then waited around for a plumber that never showed up on the last full day of our vacation. Parking is a bit of an issue for 2 cars plus driveway was littered with nails and staples that my husband had to clean up to avoid a flat tire. Hopefully in the future Vacasa will provide the necessary services that the renters - and owners - are paying them for. If not for these issues, I would give a higher rating to the house itself.

Ginger, thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are pleased you thought our home was beautiful! That said, we apologize for the issues you experienced with the hot water and we hope the compensation you received helped alleviate some of your frustration. As noted, the owner is in the process of adding curtains and blackout blinds and we thank you for your feedback. Additionally, we regret any disconnect in service you felt when communicating with our team and we have shared your comments with the appropriate parties. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again.

Great house… but…
The house is amazing. If you are wanting beach front and spectacular views this is the house for you. However…
1. This house has 3 flights of very steeps stairs. Getting into the house is actually dangerous. The front door is at the top of the stairs and not easily manageable.
If there is anyone with difficulty climbing stairs this is not the best place.
2. For the number of people the home sleeps, the living room/kitchen is rather small. The bar stools are so high you can’t sit at the bar. I would say 4 people could watch tv comfortably together.
3. The service company Vacasa is an international company. They were actually not easy to work with. I had to call serval times for help with issues and none were resolved. The people answering the phone are not local. I was interrupted for them to come and replace a router but they never showed up. The front door doesn’t lock when you leave.
4. You will need to bring any cleaning products , hand soaps, sponges, paper towels, dish detergent, trash bags, etc. this was not provided to me.

Hi, Leslie! We hope you made some wonderful memories while staying. Our property manager will ask the homeowner for new bar stools, and a local number will now be provided for faster support when needed by our guests. Beginning in January, this home will provide the cleaning products you mention above. Thank you!
This is a lovely home and perfectly placed on the beach. Exactly what we wanted to eliminate packing and taking everything to the beach--we could go in and out of the house all day--absolutely perfect in this regard. The disappointments were in the amenities and comfort within the home or on the deck. It's quickly clear this is a managed home never occupied by a personal owner. The living room is much smaller than it appears in the photos and aside from the couch there is only space for one other chair. There is very little space to walk between the back of the couch and the counter bar stools , again totally uncomfortable to use. Most rental properties provide several days worth of bathroom paper or paper towels. Some bathrooms had none and the others very limited sheets of toilet tissue. There were no dish towels and only one potholder. The grill that was in the garage area was in such rough shape that it couldn't be used. The property managers did replace the hose and nozzle that were leaking water and almost non-functional. They were very timely in correcting this when we called. They also provided a broom and dustpan when we requested something to help with the cleaning. A positive for Vacasa. One of the strangest problems was the shower door in the master bathroom was on backward--it left no room for you to access the opening to the shower itself because of the narrow hallways outside the shower. You had to partially open the door and squeeze between the
