North Topsail Beach

"This had to be absolutely the best vacation ever. Very relaxing, no traffic headaches, laid back and relaxed atmosphere and very easy and convenient access to the beach. The accommodations were pristine and provided quite a bit of space to enjoy. Very clean and the best stocked kitchen of any place we have stayed. Ample parking and convenient showers and water outside to clean up after a day on the beach. The owner was great to work with and would definitely stay here again."

"This home is one of our favorites. We have been coming to TI for nearly 20 years and have rented many homes; Sur La Mer has just the right amount of space and amenities for our families. I think this was our 4th or 5th time staying here. Kristin is wonderful to work with and is quick to answer any questions. The house is always clean and the kitchen is well supplied. We were pleased to find so many left spices and extras that we rarely had to run to the grocery. There are plenty of utensils and things you don't find in other homes. We did a few roasts and were surprised to find a meat thermometer. You wouldn't find that in other places. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of room for all with lots of seating around the table. We visited the turtle hospital in Surf City on Monday. Be aware they have limited hours and the wait can be quite long standing in the hot sun just to get in; not easy on little ones or elderly. We did learn a lot about the turtles and this year we were delighted to witness sea turtles hatching just a few houses down. We also watched dolphins from the covered porches. It was super hot outside so we only used the volleyball court once. If you are looking for a home away from home, a place for all ages and a place with plenty of parking, this is the place to rent."
