North Topsail Beach

"The house was clean but not fancy. We had 10 people staying (kids and adults) and there were plenty of separate inside and outside areas so we didn't feel crowded. We had a few minor issues (problem with one of the showers, a cable box was out, etc.). The owner was responsive to all our questions/inquiries. The kitchen was well equipped. One set of bunk beds was rickety - kids complained that it was noisy and felt unstable. We brought a pontoon boat for the guys to go fishing while the ladies lounged in the pool. Although there is a private boat ramp at the residence, there wasn't enough room to put it in/out at the house. We had to use a public ramp a few miles away. But we were able to keep it docked all week with no issues. We just allowed enough line to accommodate the tides; the wake from passing boats was not an issue. Ramp is perfect for kayaks or anything that doesn't require backing up a vehicle. The location allowed easy access to the beach. Beaches were very nice. Not crowded at all, which was surprising as we were there in July. There was more activity on the beach at night - lots of shark fishing from the shore. If we come back to Topsail, I would stay here again."
