Beautiful home!

Our group of 14 ranging from 19 months old to 60s enjoyed our stay. Each group had their own bathroom and showers which was awesome. The pool was great, we used the supplied grill once and the kids loved the arcade game in the garage. 2 cleaning stations with one being an outside shower was great. Will definitely stay again!

Annual Topsail trip

We had a great time during our annual beach trip and we’re so glad we decided to stay 2 weeks this year at the beehive! What a wonderful home! The kids and adults alike loved the private pool as well as the convenient short walk to the beach and pier. There was plenty of room for everyone in the house. Would definitely suggest staying here!

Restful

We had a wonderful time at this property. Absolutely loved having a pool and spent most of our time either on a deck in the shade or by the pool. Quick access to grocery and restraints. Quiet neighborhood with just a short walk to the ocean. I would definitely go again. Host was very kind and responsive.

Fun and family friendly

This house has everything! Games, a private pool, decks, short walk to the beach. Our families enjoyed everything the Beach Hive had to offer. The owners were very helpful and provided clear communication from start to finish! We've stayed at Topsail many times and this is one of our favorites by far!

Repeat visitors

We stayed in this property back in 2021 as well. While we would certainly prefer to be on the beach, this house is only a block away with easy beach access. The private pool is a big plus, since we had three children with us under 3. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults and 3 kids - lots of room to congregate and also enough room to get away from the others if/when we needed to.

Amazing!!!

This house was the perfect setup for our family. The private beach access is a must and would most likely be a deal breaker if not available. I would recommend this house for sure. We had 11 people in the house and there was plenty of room for everyone. Awesome spot!!!

Great house in Surf City ☀️

We loved our stay, even though we had not such great weather due to Tropical storm Debby, the proximity to the beach and the private pool made it easy to get outside during the few hours of clearer skies. The house was plenty big to spread out with adults and teens, plus being able to walk into town was super fun for the teens. The beach bag welcome gift was also so nice! The house was well equipped with the necessities, and we loved the laundry basket/hampers for each room. The only thing that is missing is full length mirrors. Thanks for a great stay!

Great hosts and great house!

We had a wonderful vacation in the Beach Hive! 11 of us fit comfortably in the house and the pictures were spot on to what the house looks like. The pool was perfect and the short walk to the beach was nice. We had one issue with the faucet which the owners addressed promptly and without any disruption to our stay. We highly recommend this place!!

Gem in Surf City

The house is great. Clean, organized, provisioned, etc. We were a group of two families with four adults and seven kids from 7-13. The proximity to the beach and lack of crowd was one of the best parts of this property... The pool is small (like most others on Topsail), but served it's purpose well. The owners are super fast to respond to any and all communications. One star deducted for neighborhood; the house next door is a dump with detritus all over it. This really drags down the nice properties around it. I also deducted one star for cleanliness... While the overall property was very nice and clean, little things like the fridges and freezers, stairwells, etc definitely need more attention from the cleaning company. Overall, we would absolutely book this property again...!

Ohio Friends Beach Vacay

We had a wonderful visit to the beach hive!! We have 8 kids, 6 parents who all enjoyed the spacious house, amazing pool, and easily walkable distance to the beach! We typically stay in North Topsail beach, but wanted to try Surf City side. A lot more traffic and some car noise all night long were the only downsides to this awesome house! Lots of amenities and space for our 3 families and all our things :) Would love to visit the Beach Hive again some summer soon!
