We had 3 families here for the weekend. The space was perfect and the access to the beach was even better!

Family

We had a great time together with family here for the first time. It was clean and neat and the elevator worked great as there are a lot of stairs and we had family members who definitely appreciated the added convenience. A suggestion I'd like to make is better instructions. It would have been nice if there was a binder or welcome booklet that explained step by step how to work the locks, and when garbage day is, or what to do with the garbage exactly, checklist for checkout instructions, etc. Also access to cleaning supplies like a vacuum, to make it easier to clean up here and there. Other than that, we had a wonderful vacation. Close proximity to the beach, more than enough room for our family, nice pool, great views from the ocean and the sound. We would definitely come back, and would book with you again. Thanks for a great stay!Alicia

Anniversary Trip

My parents were celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary by taking the whole family fishing. The house was spacious for our group and the location was great. I like the fact that every room did not have a TV which forces the family to enjoy each other. We even took family pictures at the house. The internet was a little spotty. Over all the home was beautiful, spacious and an ideal location.

Sea and Sound Sandwich

This house was great overall and perfect for our family. Location to the beach was fantastic!! We had some issues with the pool getting clean and also had to deal with construction on the lot beside us. Dealing with Vacasa was painful but all in all the week was good.

Perfect family getaway!

Our family had a wonderful time here, with a little bit of something for everyone! The views of the ocean and sound were incredible. Kids loved the pool and access to the beach. Grandma loved the many relaxing sitting areas throughout the home. Dogs loved the fenced in yard. We all especially appreciated the elevator! Everything was clean and comfortable. We had everything we could need in this home away from home and hope to come back next year!

July Family Vacation

Each summer our extended family vacation together in July at North Topsail. Sea and Sound by far was our favorite home on North Topsail. The views from both sides of the house are spectacular! We loved all the living space which is ideal for a large family with kids and teens. The pool was awesome after a full day at the beach. We did have some trouble with the 1st floor AC but both Vacasa and the homeowner worked to help remedy the situation. We are really looking forward to coming back in 2025!!

Perfect

We are locals and rented this house to accommodate for my family. Sea N Sound Sandwich is the name of the house and is nothing less than the perfect name. Location has amazing views. Has a pool and less than a minute walk over to the beach access. More than enough room for the amount of people we had stay at the house and what’s better than that? Being able to bring our pups along! Great space to hold a large group, has an extra fridge at the lower level, and thank goodness for that, because my family brought tons of food with them! Will recommend this place to family and friends. Will hopefully get a chance to rent and stay here again! Thanks for having us!

The Perfect Home

This home had everything we needed; beach proximity, pool, sleeping space, family space. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen of any rental home we have stayed in. I cook the dinners, and let me tell you….cooking for 16 takes some creativity in a poorly stocked kitchen. No worries here. Our only issue was the elevator was broken. It made the trip versus difficult for the two seniors in our party. We are still waiting on the refund for that. We will definitely stay here again if the elevator issue is fixed.

Phenomenal Views

The views are fantastic! The house is large enough for a big group, but beware. One bedroom's mattress is hard as the ground and was rendered useless to every member of our group. The full sized bunks needed TLC (mattress, lack of slats) too. The TV situation was ridiculous-only a small choice of local channels. So disappointing when the weather was rainy. We had 5 kids and not one kid channel. The kitchen had enough dishes, pots, etc. for a large group. Make sure to bring your own spices, aluminum foil etc. though. Nothing was paid forward except a shaker of salt. The house accommodated our group, but we were disappointed about the bedroom and TVs that we had depended on. We enjoyed our week despite the disappointments.

Well-equipped house with spectacular views!

Overall, we loved the house and the location! The views were spectacular, and it was wonderful being across the street from a nice beach access. We loved that the deep covered deck in front allows you to sit in the shade with ocean views during the afternoon. The decks in the back were good for the morning (and sunsets) and provided a nice, shaded area near the pool in the afternoon. Great deck seating on both sides, and the breezes were sublime! The kitchen is small, but they've maximized the space very thoughtfully, and it flows well. We all raved about how well stocked it was. The pool was great, along with the outdoor shower and the grill. The fenced in area was perfect to let the dogs out for a bit. Loved all the little sitting areas and nooks. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into the details. It was noticed and appreciated! A couple of beds were uncomfortably firm, and the elevator was functional but temperamental. Bookers should know that there is NO waterway/sound access. It's right there, and this row of houses obviously had access in the past, but no more. You do have a great view of huge schools of fish and kayaking areas that you can't access.

A Choice at the Beach

Some families come to the beach just for the ocean. They buy a large umbrella and chairs and spend hours reading and swimming. We choose the other option, enjoying the total cottage vacation experience. This year we set up a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle for everyone to enjoy. It was the first year that our son-in-law had a boat for riding enjoyment and fishing. The boat had a 5 person capacity. My son and I usually play a couple rounds of golf, but this year we missed out on the morning rounds and the weather was too hot for afternoon golf. We had 15 in our family this year including a very active 2 year old. The pattern is to cook in every other night offering shrimp, fresh corn on the cob, fried okra, tomatoes, peaches, cantalope, watermelon, homemade bread and pie with icecream. Some time at the beach was spent swimming and looking for shells and sharks teeth. We were thankful that the elevator was in good working order. The beautiful swimming pool was always an option, but we also played games and watched two movies. Sea and Sound Sandwich has been our choice for many years and we recommend it highly.

would book again

The house gave our family of 14 plenty of space, beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked. The location of the house gave us the best of both worlds; ocean off the front porch, sound off the back! This also gave us front row seats to beautiful sunrises and sunsets! We would stay here again

Great location

Beach access is close and easy. Comfortable beds, this home easily accommodates a large group. Our inquiries were addressed quickly, although some answers were incorrect (we were told no iron or ironing board so we brought our own, but there was one there) Elevator wasn’t working which would have been a huge help with heavy coolers and bags. There is also no elevator access from ground level. Early check in was not permitted even though cleaning service was finished well over 1 1/2 hours earlier. Instructions on check out procedures weren’t clear. Text said leave sheets on beds, email said strip beds.

The house had more than what was included in the description. Very good. I highly recommend you pick a different place. 😉 Too bad they are doubling the rates for next year, we were going to book again for our family but it was too much. Would love to go back.
