We had a great stay at the Terrapin house. Every room has a sliding door that steps out onto the deck looking straight at the ocean. The owners played quite a attention to detail, and it was well appointed.

Great off-season getaway

Having stayed in the Topsail/Surf City area multiple times in recent years, this location was the best without a doubt. Oceanfront, plus walkable to almost everything else we wanted to do. Would definitely stay here again.
