Great beach house!

We had a great stay! Loved the hammock, the views, and the short walk to the beach. Good communication!Beds were a bit soft for our taste, but we still slept well.

Wonderful!

We had a great time! The location was perfect and close to the beach as well as a short drive to shopping and food. The large front porch was perfect for the rain as well as under the house where my kids could still play without getting wet. Would recommend and hope to return in the future!

Wonderful beach house

We had a great stay! The house was clean and had all that we needed. The walk to the beach was even shorter than I anticipated. The rear deck was perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze and the kids loved playing in the shade under the house.

What this property lacked in “fancy” it made up for in price and location. 2 blocks from the beach made for easy walking. Would rent again.

Five stars for cleanliness and being stocked - No stars for busy road

The house was nice, clean and well stocked with linens, towels, cleaning supplies, paper towels and toilet paper. Grill was rusted and bikes were in bad shape - not safe to ride. Even though the house was a short walk to the beach it was on a very busy - loud road. Host was quick to respond.

Great Location!

If you're looking for an almost beachfront weekend getaway, this is a great place to stay. The beach with a non-crowded public access is just a short walk away. The house is well-equipped and perfect for trip to Topsail. The only hair in the soup are the mattresses which were a bit too soft to our liking - but the owner plans to switch these during the winter break. With new ones in place this is a clear 5 star recommendation.

Clean, but needs work

House was clean, well kept, and has a convenient location. However, the flooring was uneven, showed spaces between seams and subfloor was damaged in the hall bathroom. New Decking outside was uneven and sagging. Renter stated bicycles were available for use, but both bikes had flat front tires, and one was missing a securing wheel nut, and was unrideable.

We just finished our stay and overall had a great vacation! I am going to write a very honest and detailed review because I look for those myself when booking houses. If I were rating the house itself I would give it 3 stars but due to the location I am giving it 4.Pros:Super close to beach- 1.5 block walk- the BEST part about this rental! Owners provided great communication prior to our stay and after (we did not complain about anything so they did not need to respond during our stay)AC works well (not the case for many beach rentals)Large covered porch (although wish this was on the ocean side of the house)Rocking chairs on porch Deck isn’t wood- no splintersMaster bed has pillow top and is comfortable (a Queen- no room for a King)Did not hear the main road (we use sound machines)House clean upon arrival Beach toys/floats/boogie boards for our use Cons:No dishwasherNo dog crates or gates so dogs can’t come on decks without using chairs to block Very little counter space or cabinet space to store items we brought No extra sheets anywhere and only 2 extra blanketsFloor spots soft in many places due to water damage Glass door broken making it bang repeatedly with the windNo fenced in yard or pool VERY small house Nowhere to hang wet items without them blowing away No TVs in bedrooms- we resorted to watching tv on our phones in bed which was a bummerHammock is broken- can’t sit in itShower heads very short- had to duck to shower Thanks!

Very good location, easy walk to the beach. Photos exaggerate the size, it is quite small for a 3 bedroom. Needs updates including but not limited to ceiling fans. Not worth what we paid.

This beautiful beach house was perfect for myself and several friends. The location was incredible, with the beach being just about a 5 minute walk away and several restaurants within walking distance as well. The property had everything you could need for a day at the beach or time relaxing inside. The porch had an incredible view and was perfect for relaxing outside. This is the perfect place for a calm beach getaway.

Cute house! So close to the beach!

We had a great trip! The only thing to consider is if you have anyone staying or visiting that may be physically handicapped (and we did), be prepared to carry them up and down the staircase to get inside. There are no ramps or anything like that. to get inside and out.
