We had a fabulous time; excellent communication with Tracy (new owner) and Michelle (previous owner) and the place was spotless. House has an open and airy, updated comfy, cozy atmosphere and the Best appointed kitchen we have ever had renting houses. The location cannot be beat. We also really appreciated having our own personal boardwalk to the beach which is more difficult to find in a duplex. We will definitely stay again.

Wonderful girls weekend

I spent the weekend here with my teenage daughter, 2 of her friends and another mom. We had the best time! It was perfect for our group with each adult getting her own ocean view room and the kids all sharing the third room. The views and location were excellent and the house was beautiful. It had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend at the beach and I would definitely love to stay here again someday.

Fantastic stay

Great property, fantastic location. Well kept and clean. Michelle is very responsive and got back to us quickly for any questions. Lived being able to have my dog! One thing to note, the bunk beds aren't very adult friendly, so plan accordingly. Queen beds are very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

The Best

We had a wonderful stay at Michelle’s place in Surf City!!! It was everything our family needed and More! Michelle was a very wonderful host and her communication skills were incredible. She was really, really great. I would hire her to communicate with our customers at my company. The home was super clean and steps away from the beach. Perfect place and we will back 100%. Tha k you Michelle!! The Davis family loved it.

Could not have been better

This was my first time using VRBO. The property was even better than described. Every thing that you could possibly think that you might need was provided for you. Our host was as friendly and accommodating as anyone could possibly be. Every concern of question we had prior to coming she very quick to respond, and help us every step of the way with all our needs. We would highly recommend anyone to stay in this beautiful, oceanfront condo. This was a celebration of my wife’s birthday, and I know it’s one she will never forget. Thank you thank you thank you to our host.

Amazing Vacation

Michelle's property was probably one of the best places we have ever stayed. The house is well maintained and was very clean when we arrived. The location was perfect. We could walk out from the bedrooms onto the deck and head right down to the beach. When it was time to go grocery shopping, go to a restaurant or find an activity nothing was more than 15 minutes from the house and everything was easily accessible. We spent most of our days lounging on the beach and the evenings we were out walking the beach and looking for ghost crabs and then sat on the top deck listening to the waves on the beach. We even got to enjoy some cool lightning storms over the ocean. Michelle was a great host and was so kind and quick to respond to any questions that we had and offered some great advice for things to do in the area.

Great week long stay at Topsail

The prop mgr, Michelle, is amazing. She's on top of it. If you want to stay at Topsail, find a property she's managing and you will not be disappointed. Clean, well appointed, fantastic communications. The beach is fab, turtles nesting, great beach kit comes with the house - chairs and a Shibumi for shade. Walk out and enjoy. Doesn't get any better!!

Why they chose this property

Topsail Island is a hidden gem along North Carolina’s scenic shoreline, offering a tranquil oasis of natural splendor and calm. Here are some fantastic reasons why I love living here:

Less Crowded Beaches: Even during the busy season, Topsail Island remains blissfully uncrowded compared to most other beaches. You won’t find yourself jostling for a spot on the sand or dealing with traffic congestion. It’s a peaceful escape where you can truly relax and enjoy the serenity.

Pristine Beaches: Topsail Island boasts some of the most beautiful and least crowded beaches in North Carolina. Whether you’re beachcombing, sunbathing, or taking long walks, the natural beauty of the coastline is captivating.

Sea Turtle Conservation: Topsail Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles, including loggerheads and green sea turtles. Witnessing a sea turtle nest or hatchling release is a memorable experience.

Dazzling Sunsets: The sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean are breathtaking. Grab a beach chair, watch the sky transform, and feel the stress melt away.

Fresh Seafood: Indulge in delicious seafood caught locally. From shrimp to flounder, the culinary scene celebrates the ocean’s bounty.

Water Activities: Whether you’re kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing, the island’s waterways provide endless opportunities for adventure.

Relaxation and Rejuvenation: Topsail Island’s laid-back atmosphere invites you to unwind, recharge, and create lasting memories with loved ones.

Unique History: Unlike many beach destinations, Topsail Island wasn’t originally designed for vacationers. In the 1600s and 1700s, it served as a hiding spot for pirates, including the infamous Blackbeard. Local legend even suggests that Blackbeard buried gold treasure here!
