Birthday get away

We go to topsail island every year for my son's birthday. This house had the best views of any we have been to so far and being able to wake up and walk to the beach for sunrise was amazing. The property was clean, well stocked and toddler friendly. If you like to swim, pay attention to the posted signs as there is a drop off towards the end of the island that is not safe. Good swimming with a shallow entry is easy to access from the property just to the right of the beach access.

Easter Weekend

We had a great visit with family over Easter weekend. The house is very well stocked and had everything we needed for a great time! We loved the location of the house, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Linens are not provided, but that was communicated well upfront, so no big deal. I was hoping to do a little bike ride but the bikes that are pictured were too rusty to ride Overall great place, we’ve already discussed booking it again!

Cant wait to come back!

The house and property were exactly as advertised. There was plenty of room for our family of 7 and we took full advantage of the fully stocked kitchen and the grill outside. Sitting in the living room or out on the decks looking at the waves and the beach was the perfect way to start the day and we were lucky enough to get beautiful sunsets and a few lightningstorms to watch out over the water in the evenings. We cant wait to come back!

Great stay and great host!

The host Mike was top notch. Always responsive, before and during our stay. Lots of beach gear, no need to bring a chair or umbrella! The kitchen was well stocked as well. The views are incredible! It was a little tight for our family of 9 but cozy. We enjoyed it!

Cute house!

This was a great house for a family trip to the beach! The host was very responsive and we did not have an extensive check out list like most rentals do, which was nice! The only thing that I would note for the next guest is that when they say they don't provide linens, they truly don't provide any linens at all. So also come prepared with the smaller items like hand towels, kitchen towels, bath mats, etc.

Cleaning

had a nice time but house needs good cleaning. Fan in downstairs master cover in dust, When we arrived dust pan was laying in middle if downstairs bed, vacuum sitting in middle of floor in same bedroom. Rug for upstairs sliding door was laying on arm of sofa. Lighting in dining room was horrible. and neither sliding door in downstairs bedrooms slide. We loved having the yard for the kids and all of the beach supplies.

Our Knee Deep Week

We were blown away upon entering with the gorgeous views from the living and dining room. Our bedrooms faced the beach with individual access from both rooms! I even watched egrets play in the marshes as I washed dishes in the kitchen. Our grandkids loved the living room upstairs. As previously stated, the house has been well stocked with essential needs. You may want to add the baby essentials in your listing. We were a little skeptical about the swimming warning signs but we were cautious. We all felt that we enjoyed the calmness(no waves) of the water much more! I loved the beachy feel and the decor of your home. We are so thankful to you for sharing it with us ! We had a lots of fun and made precious memories!

Shouldn’t complain, I’m at the beach!!

Very cute house, nicely decorated and stocked. My main issue was I didn’t know it was a duplex when I booked it, very good shots of the house in the pictures, I should have done more research. This was our first duplex and we got lucky, our neighbors didn’t know it was one either. I’m not sure the cleaning staff did the best job, I notified Mike so hopefully things will be taken care of for the next guests. The sunsets were amazing, we loved the pond behind us. The ducks, turtles, birds and frogs at night! The walk to the beach wasn’t bad but further than I thought. It’s very quiet being at the very end of the island, no shops, finally realized North End Market was available on Thursday for emergencies. Lots of military traffic in the water and sky which was fun and watched a sand dredger! We saw a horseshoe crab and stingray but no shark teeth, only the fun smooth rocks! We enjoyed Topsoil Steamer, Daddy Mac’s Beach Grille, Shaka Taco, and Celtic Creamery. Also loved the Mr. A’s Beignets truck we kept seeing, our first time having those, mini funnel cakes! This was our first trip to North Topsail Beach!

Nice spot away from the action

We've been coming to Topsail every summer for about 15 years, so we've seen a lot of different places for comparison. This spot is overall a really great house! Here's my breakdown... 1) House is a good size. Kitchen is well stocked. Beds and entertainment are good. A prior visitor left their Peacock subscription logged in, so we got to watch Jaws :-) 2) Beach supplies at the house are great! Umbrellas were provided, and a couple of carts helped us get our things to/from the beach. A short walk of maybe 3-4 minutes, nothing major. 3) Good view of both the ocean and the sound. 4) This is the northernmost tip of the island, right by the New River inlet. There's signs at the beach warning about swimming during high tide and the currents, and you should follow that advice. Low tide is totally fine, and actually really cool as there's wading pools and huuuuge sandbars that let you walk 50 meters out and still be knee-deep. 5) During high tide you can't walk very far down the beach. This area was hit hard by the last hurricanes, so there's a big beach protection zone of enormous sandbags. At high tide the water comes right up to those, and some unfortunate houses now right on the waters edge, and you can't really get past it. Not a huge deal as high tide is like "beach siesta" anyway, so you just find other stuff to do. Overall I'd put this one in the top 80% of places we've stayed for the great combo of price vs location vs beach access and layout. Thanks to Mike!

This was by far the most disappointing rental we've ever had with VRBO. Desperately needs repairs.

Arriving we noticed a strange, stale odor and had to buy air fresheners. During the week we found other air fresheners stashed around the house showing this was not a new issue. In one of the bathrooms we found belongings of a previous guest including prescription meds. We notified the owner who asked us to set it aside. Traveling with 5 children and simply putting it aside doesn’t seem like a safe response. When Amazon delivery came a few days later for the same person someone was sent immediately to pick it up. I asked if this missed bag meant that the bathroom had not been cleaned and was assured that it was fine. In another bathroom I found a dirty used bandaid on top of the toilet brush showing that both the bandaid had gone unnoticed and the toilet brush unused. Limited space to type so: -most surfaces in home were sticky -unlocked closet full of power tools 1st floor -SEVERE slant to house -interior doors don’t work correctly either don’t close or don’t open and most don’t lock -master shower door rolls open and must be held shut while showering -washer smells awful -faulty lint trap fire hazard in dryer -broken bullnose on top step: tripping hazard -pullout sofa in loft sags almost to floor -kitchen blenders and bathroom hair dryer don’t work -kitchen faucet leaks -boxes shoved under every bed and in closets -rain leaked in through elec. outlet in living room. I do not recommend this home to anyone until it has seen some major improvements that go beyond cosmetic.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Knee Deep. There were so many special amenities, specifically in the kitchen, that blessed our family. We love to cook and it was a joy to do so as a family in that space!We loved being able to watch the turtles, crab, ducks, and other wildlife from the balconies. The view of the ocean was superb!Mike answered any questions I had in a timely manner. He was very attentive and we are grateful for that!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Purcell

Host profile image
We are two families from Hillsborough NC that finally decided to make the jump into a beach house, a jump....Knee Deep!

Why they chose this property

After years of family vacations on North Topsail Beach, we decided to start looking for the perfect spot to buy a place. When we came across Knee Deep, the views literally took our breath away. The idea of being able to have that perfect spot on the beach became a reality for us this year. And we are looking forward to sharing Knee Deep with other families to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

We are on the North End of the beach, so there is not much to distract you from the beach and your family time. We love the short walk to the waters edge. We have rented places not on the beach before and it is really convenient to be so close to the water's edge.
