The house and water view are relaxing and spacious. We were able to park our deep-v boat at the dock and trailer in the driveway. The sunroom is like having a 3rd bedroom/living room area. We had a wonderful family vacation and enjoyed the water, fishing and throwing the cast net from the dock, using the grill and enjoying the area.

Perfect

This was the perfect house for our trip. There’s plenty of room for four people. The sunroom and back deck were really nice, especially with the view of the marina off the deck. The hosts were friendly and were available for if we needed anything. The house was close to the beach and restaurants, only about 15 minutes, but was out of the way enough that it felt secluded and private. Definitely will be returning to this house in the future and I highly recommend it

Good spot to bring your boat.

Decent property, clean and seemed safe. Owner was very nice and let us get ice from his industrial ice maker under the house next door. We chose this spot because it had a dock with water access to the ICW and we rented a boat. Neighborhood was nothing remarkable and fairly far from anything to do. Plan to drive by car about 15 to 20 min to get over to anything interesting to do.

If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable place near the water that can accommodate four to five people, this is an excellent choice. The property is clean, welcoming, and well-maintained, with fully functioning A/C, fans, and lighting. It's conveniently located just 30 to 40 minutes from beaches and a variety of local attractions, making it a great base for exploring the area.While the internet connection was occasionally unreliable—which presented some challenges as I was working remotely—I was able to stay productive using my mobile hotspot. This was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise very enjoyable stay. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this property to others

Serene

Comfy little cabin for a peaceful getaway. Close enough to shopping and tourist areas for comfort but quiet and serene to escape to. Beautiful setting for relaxing. The closed in porch was heaven.

Everything about staying here was perfect! We were visiting our Marine! Close enough to base that he could stay with us and go to work in the morning. Dock to fish off of and feed the little fishies. Beautiful view! Friendly neighbors! Would definitely recommend!!

This house was perfect. Home away from home. Quaint comes to my mind when I think of this house. Living space was cute but that view. And outdoor sitting area was the most peaceful and serene spot. Thank you very much.

Comfortable and relaxing cottage

My husband and I were coming to Topsail to fish for a few days and celebrating his 72nd birthday!! Off the beaten path, this cottage is a very comfortable, very clean, relaxing place to stay. Check in process was easy. Property manager was responsive. Furniture is very comfortable. We slept in the room with the poster bed. Mattress was comfortable for us. Good support but not hard. Couches in den and sunroom were also comfortable. Bathroom is small; has a nice size shower. Plenty of clean towels and wash cloths. Kitchen was perfect for us. Stocked with very nice Keurig, pots with lids, garbage disposal, etc. Loved the sunroom and porch on the back. Porch has covered sitting area with nice furniture. Perfect. Washer and dryer very nice. One suggestion- maybe a floor lamp by the couch in the sunroom for reading. Will keep this property as a favorite on my VRBO app. Thank you for sharing your property with us!!
