Perfect place for overflow lodging from a nearby family beach house during a wedding weekend. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and convenient. And it is a cute place with great views from the roof deck.

Fun Topsail House

Overall, enjoyed the stay. It's close to the beach, has a fenced-in yard, decently-equipped kitchen, lots of sitting areas, fast internet, and a cool roof deck. Surrounding area was a bit unsightly, but not a big deal.

Quiet Retreat

The house is located close to everything. It is a very nice quiet location. The roller-skating rink is a throwback to years gone by and we had a great time playing Bingo! We hope to make it back in the near future.

Great for dogs

We really enjoyed our stay here. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dogs. We usually stay a bit closer to the beach, but the location was nice and quiet and not having to walk the dogs every time they needed to go out certainly made up for the fact that we had to walk 2 blocks to the beach. We will likely be back next year.

Beach Stay

We loved the property- it had everything you need and extra of everything. Having access to the laundry units made for a clean and sand-free trip home. This was the first vacation rental we've had where we didnt have to clean the entire property plus pay a hefty cleaning fee. Very easy check-in and check-out process. The walk to the beach, food, coffee and/or night entertainment all under 5 minutes.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Myers Myers Realty, Inc in Surf City, NC

Host profile image
Keith and I are full time residents of Topsail Beach and active in the community. We feel passionate about all this island has to offer during every season. I am a licensed Realtor and property manager, and have been selling real estate for the past 30 years. If you are looking for real estate in our area, I am happy to help you find your own happy place.

Keith is active in the Topsail Beach community, as well as sits on town boards, and enjoys boating & fishing. Our sons have been active in the Topsail Beach fire department and live close by with their families on the mainland.

My two passions are enjoying the salt air & sand with a beautiful day on the beach with friends and my chihuahuas Lily & Tinsel, and riding & showing my walking horses in gaited dressage. Combining the two for a beach horseback ride during the off-season (October to March) is what makes this island so special to me. Coming up over the dune on my horse for a south-end beach ride with friends never gets old. If we are not on the island, we are probably at the farm on the mainland. Topsail Island is an amazing place, from the sound to the ocean, it is my happy place and I hope it becomes yours too.

Why they chose this property

Keith grew up coming to the area as a small child and introduced me to the island. I have loved our little beach cottage, and the location in the middle of town, from the day we found it. We were able to visit often enough that we made many good friends and new "family" here and watched our children grow up with other children who visited and lived on the island. Keith and I have always had dogs, and bringing them on our vacations is part of our lifestyle. We wanted to share that opportunity with others, since so many people have fur babies that are an important part of their lives.

What makes this property unique

Pet friendly! We travel with our dogs, from horse shows nationally, to New Orleans, to the Florida Keys, our chihuahuas come with us. Finding safe, pet friendly, affordable places to stay is always part of our planning and not always easy to find. I wanted to share that opportunity with other responsible pet owners so that they can bring their dogs with them on vacation. Having finished up our first vacation rental season 2017, I have to say that pet guests are the best! I couldn't have asked for nicer, more caring guests in our cottage, and I hope you all come back in 2018.
