We really enjoyed our time here. The place was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We had some bad luck with the beach access being closed, requiring us to drive to the beach that’s otherwise super close, and the grill that was advertised was not available to us. Communication w Renee was transparent, and we would definitely stay here again.

Loved Topsail and this cottage!

Renee was a wonderful host and made us feel very at home in her beautiful cottage. The sunset views were stunning and it was a very short walk to the beach. We are definitely coming back!

Honeymoon

We had a relaxing time and loved the town of surf city. We loved the short walk to the ocean. We have both been to topsail before so it was fun to go back and visit our favorite shops.

Perfect getaway!

My husband and I decided to spend our anniversary seeing the ocean as we live in Indiana and have never seen it. After the 13hr drive, we were so relieved to see that we could park on the property and walk literally 3 minutes to the beach. The property itself was very clean and had AMAZING views! We were also only a few minutes drive to restaurants and other local shops. The owner was very kind and easy to communicate with.

Cute clean cottage

We enjoyed the cottage with beautiful views of the sound/marsh area with lots of wildlife to watch! There was a very short walk to the beach. The beach was lovely. We enjoyed the pier and watching the surfers nearby. The kitchen had very basic supplies and could have used more quantities of cups and mugs. There is no pantry. The listing mentions beach chairs but there were only a few and next time I would bring my own. There are no linens so be sure to pack those. Overall we had a wonderful time with memories forever made.

Cute Beach House

We enjoyed Thanksgiving at this cute but spacious beach house. The view out the back slider was awesome. It was a short walk to the beach and just down the street from restaurants and shops.

House hunting

The place was great! The view from the back beat the beach especially because the sun sets over the marsh and you get to see it every night!

Beautiful view of salt marsh. Also, close to beach!

We had a great stay! Host was welcoming and property was beautifully maintained and well equipped. It’s in the sound side of the island and has beautiful views. It’s a quick walk to the beach on this narrow island. A short bike or car ride to excellent take out. The road the house is on is your typical busy beach thruway. Not far from a beautiful park with a walkway out over the salt marsh (and a playground).

Great stay!!!!

Excellent location, within minutes of anything you need. A few minutes walk to the beach, a go stroll or bike ride (a mile or so) to get a bite to eat, a nice bike ride south to Topsail Beach. The house was spacious for the 6 of us, the kitchen was stocked enough to prepare meals to eat in most nights. The downstairs area was nice and it also had a 3rd bathroom which came in handy. My wife enjoyed the sunsets from the back deck. The ONLY suggestion I would have is to have electrical outlets near the head of the bed in the master bedroom. Weren't able to use CPAP machine during the stay but it wasn't a big deal. Thanks for providing the accommodations.

Beautiful Inside and Out

We truly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean, welcoming and allowed for our family to spend quality time together while still providing plenty of room for one to have their own space. We loved the view off the back porch and appreciated the short walk to the beach.

Awesome experience

This was my fist time booking through vrbo and I couldn’t have been happier. The place was great and the owner was very quick to respond to our questions.
