We’re already dreaming of revisiting this wonderful home! Our party of 7 included all age groups—from grandparents to toddlers—and it exceeded everyone’s needs and expectations. Honestly, you can pack lightly, as you’ll find practically everything you need already anticipated and provided. The home itself is even lovelier than the photos, elegantly appointed and thoughtfully designed for maximum ocean views and family gathering areas, along with a generous number of private spaces, including 5 bathrooms plus a powder room. It was immaculately clean. The kitchen is well-equipped for a large group and a pleasure to use. Grocery shopping is conveniently nearby, and we made a couple of quick trips to Surf City Crab for fresh shrimp, scallops , etc. We had a memorable family birthday celebration around the ample dining table! We couldn’t have been happier with the location. The beautiful, clean, wide open beach is right off the deck, the community pool is on the beach just a few houses down, and both were uncrowded throughout our stay. It was sea turtle hatching season and we spotted numerous protected nests. It was fun learning more about them. We only had a couple of questions for our host, as everything was clearly communicated in advance. But when I did have a question, Krista responded immediately and graciously. This was our first visit to N Topsail Beach, and I’m so glad we found this incredible vacation home. We loved everything about it and can’t wait to go again!
