The house was just as it was presented in the pictures when we arrived. It was very clean and the ocean view is spectacular. The location is great, steps from the beach, and close to restaurants and stores. The kitchen was very well equipped to cook about anything you would want and there were beach chairs provided. The rooms were very nicely furnished and a lot of space. The deck was large with multiple chairs and an outdoor eating area. We loved our stay here and will definitely be booking again.

What a treat to stay at Resting Beach Face! We loved it initially for its name but after having the pleasure of staying there, loved it for its comfort, convenience and cleanliness. It is situated on a beautiful beach. In March it was quiet and cool, a perfect spot to walk our pup, read some books and unwind. It was just right! We would love to return again and again!!!! Thank you!!!!

This is our second visit to Resting Beach Face in two months, and we plan another visit in the fall. This is a dreamy home on a gorgeous strip[ of Topsail. We have been coming to Topsail for ten years and this home is by far the most comfortable and lovely home we have visited. Indeed, we ran into a fellow who had done some work on the house and he told us "It's my favorite home on all of the island." What more can I say?Thank you, Harriet and Phil !Jackie

If we could, we would assign a 6 out of 5. The house is beautiful and fully stocked and spotless. The host was marvelous… very tastefully decorated. After only one day in the house, we booked another stay. We have been traveling to Topsail for years and this is by far our favorite spot. Thank you!

This house is happily situated right on the beach, with views from every living space, starting when you walk in the front door. The living space is outstanding, every room is comfortable, and the kitchen is awesome. The decks are easily accessible and spacious, and it is a very short trek to the beach. The hosts were very responsive to our questions. This is by far and away the best house we have stayed in on Topsail Island.

Lovely house right on the beach! Walk down the steps and you’re on the sand, perfect for sunrise or sunset walks. The main living area was spacious with plenty of room for us and our friends. We loved the balconies right off the bedrooms. The Wi-Fi worked great and there was always plenty of hot water for showers and washing up. It was an easy drive to Surf City for lots of fun restaurants and bars. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back.
