So fabulous!! Everything was wonderful! Check-in went smoothly and the place was clean and delightful! Everything was provided including, towels, beach towels, washer and dryer, items to use for the beach and full kitchen necessities. There was shampoo/conditioner/body soap in showers. Everything was thoughtfully provided for a comfortable & fun getaway! The absolute best part, was the incredible view from the living room area. Absolute stunning views!! The beach was fantastic and so inviting. We were able to walk to a great place for food/drinks right on the beach. We will definitely be back!!

Lisa and Brian were insanely great hosts! The property is exactly as listed, and all the amenities were fantastic. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need to cook, the beach chairs are in great shape, the grill was perfect for our burgers, and we even used the tent despite the strong winds. What really stood out was the consistent and frequent communication. Lisa and Brian sent messages before the stay reminding us of our check in instructions, checked in during our stay, and even provided prompt service when needed. Two of our showers got a little clogged and within a couple of hours, someone came out to fix them - by the time we got back from the beach, the showers were in great shape! Our stay was awesome - definitely recommend booking this property!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We’re so glad the kitchen, beach chairs, grill, and tent all came in handy for your stay, and that the wind didn’t stop you from putting the tent to good use. Communication is something we care a lot about, so it means a lot to hear that came through. We hope to host you again soon.

We had a great stay - the property was beautiful! Loved sitting on the top deck overlooking the beach. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins several times. Plenty of space for everyone in our party. The host was very responsive.

Thank you for such a kind review. The top deck is one of our favorite spots too. The reverse floor plan puts the living space up where the view is, and the dolphins go by often enough that we still stop what we're doing every time. Every room in the house is meant to be used, so we're glad your group had plenty of space. You'd be welcome back at Seaside Sanctuary any time. Lisa and Brian

We had a wonderful week at North Topsail! The property is well maintained and spacious. Beautiful view of the beach which is only a short walk to reach. Loved the reversed floor plan! Lots of steps but worth it for the view! The gas fire pit is nice and will be wonderful when the weather is a little cooler.

Thank you so much for staying with us! The reversed floor plan is one of our favorite things about Seaside Sanctuary too and worth every step for those gorgeous ocean views. We are so glad you enjoyed the fire pit, it's magical on a cool evening with the sound of the waves. North Topsail Beach is such a hidden gem for those who want a real beach experience without the crowds, and we'd love to have you back!

Property was clean and comfortable with plenty of space indoors and outside. Very family friendly. Noise between floors is hard to hear -- great for nap times and early bedtimes, noise from outside was minimal. Host provides some beach items, like chairs and towels, which is super convenient. Location is close to local businesses, but not close enough that the beach was overly crowded. The beach area is clean and an excellent spot for shell collecting. Host was quick to respond.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled the amenities and layout worked well for your family, from the quiet floors for nap time to the beach chairs and towels we leave for guests. North Topsail Beach is one of the most peaceful, least commercialized stretches around, we love the wide, uncrowded sand for shell collecting and are glad you did too. With Surf City's restaurants and shops and Sneads Ferry just a short drive away when you want them, we agree… it is the perfect place. We'd love to host your family again at Seaside Sanctuary! Thanks again for staying with us.
