North Topsail Beach

"This topsail beach house was amazing! We had around 30 guests ranging in age from 3 to 68, and everyone loved this house. As advertised, it does feel like a little resort! Lots of room and lots of amenities to enjoy. The heated pool was a big hit with the kids and the roof deck offered great views of the beach and the bay. Everyone loved the beach walks which was just a very short distance from the house. Upon arrival we were greeted by Joe, who showed us around the house and described all the features it has. The house smelled nice and was very clean too! The neighborhood was quiet, we felt safe and at ease. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for privacy, beautiful views and all the amenities of a big resort but in a beach house."

"My husband and I wanted a quiet month at the beach. We chose this property to have plenty of space and private bathrooms for family members we wanted to join us. That worked out really well. The open-concept living area and the decks provided all the space we needed to be together. Four bedrooms with ensuite baths gave folks a place to retreat. We were a group of age 55+ adults. We also needed pet-friendly to accommodate my sister's Yorkie. This house met all our needs. The house and furnishings are a bit worn around the edges, but the necessary stuff was in working order and water pressure in the showers was awesome. Full size washer and dryer are convenient on the bedroom level. We were told that the kitchen is scheduled for refurbishment after our stay. Location is key on a less crowdEd part of the island, about equal distance between grocery shopping in either Surf City or Snead's Ferry. It was a long haul (20 mi round-trip) to a couple of our favorite restaurants on the south end of the island, but we considered it worth the drive. We had good communication with the owner, but it became a bit frustrating after he connected us with the management company he uses. Fortunately we had time to work out the communication issues and all came together well in advance of our arrival. As with most beach houses, there are a lot of stairs. Having a bedroom and bath on the main living area makes it easier for someone who can't do stairs multiple times daily. The exterior stairs and deck are rough with splinters and popped nails. Be careful and wear shoes. This is a wonderful retreat for the family who needs public and private space within the house, expansive beach and views, and doesn't mind getting in the car for anything other than beach time."
