Such a perfect gem!

Fort Knox was exactly what we needed for our family vacation! What a great spot! It was very close to the beach and a spot with few people. We walked to the beach 2-3 times a day. Was it a fashion plate? No, but we came to see the beach. Awesome water pressure! Beautiful view for our morning coffee on the porch- we could hear the ocean, we could even see a little. Awesome place that made us all fall in love with Topsail! Thanks!!

Fort knox

The house was missing a lot of necessities. There were no sheets for beds. No towels what so ever. 1/2 roll of toilet paper. No paper towels. Ward realtor informed me the following day I could rent them!! There was nothing in the description of this property that indicated that I would not receive any of these things or I would not have rented this property. I had to drive 30 minutes to the nearest Walmart at 9 PM to go get sheets, Towels and toilet paper.

Thank you for the great review and for your feedback. We hope to see you again on Topsail Island. We apologize for the unwashed dishes in the dishwasher, perhaps the previous guests forgot to turn it on as they left and our housekeepers missed it. We will mention it to our staff.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug, 2020
Thank you for providing feedback on your stay. We have shared your thoughts with the homeowner. We have scheduled a carpet cleaning for next week. In addition, we did have a hurricane a few days before your arrival and the power was out for at least a day. This can increase humidity inside the home when the AC unit isn't running, causing a mild dampness and mildew smell for a few days until the home dries out again. We hope we will see you again on Topsail lsland.

Hesitant, but still have a good rating.

Honestly, I have no complaints about the property itself. Convenience of washing machine, almost a view to the water, close to the beach, quiet street with great neighbors....the whole 9. BUT, on 2 occasions the property manager came unannounced. One of the chairs was broken so he came to pick it up day 1 and before my wife answered the door, he started to come in. On the second occasion, he just walked into the house while my wife and kids were there. I did not like that AT ALL! All just to bring a chair back AND telling us we could not use it because it wasn’t dry yet? So I was hesitant about giving 5 stars, BUT...everything ng was great
