Beautiful Views

We enjoyed our stay…. beautiful sunset! Clean and peaceful my only suggestion would be supply more towels and wash cloths and a rug at the front door and balcony door. Loved having in unit washer and dryer…

Best condo so close to the water

Excited to have beach this time around. The shore fluctuates rapidly, so get there while there's beach to walk on during low tide before it gets washed downstream again. The unit was immaculate. Murphy bed right next to the sliding glass door is a great perk. Like being on a private yacht at high tide. Plenty of nice touches and the rainshower showerhead with extra jets is a special bonus. Alan is the bestest!

Beautiful little condo overlooking the sea!

This condo was beautiful, clean, well stocked, comfortable and its balcony was right out over the sea where we could see the dolphins and birds playing every day! My wife and I had a lovely little getaway. It is within 15-20 minutes of lots of restaurants and shopping. It had a nice king sized bed (and a Murphy hideaway bed that we did not use). We’d definitely come back!

Best OCEANFRONT Ever

We will be back to this exact unit. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway! We even asked and got to stay an extra night for half off. Host was excellent. We did not even use the bed in the back room. You have everything you need and more AND we saw Dolphins every morning. !This is our forever NC beach spot

Cute little condo

Everything was as advertised. Although there isn’t beach access at high tide, there is public access just two houses over so it wasn’t a big deal to get on the beach. Recommend walking down to see the sunrise. Happy to have a little ice maker. Bed slept well, and even though I was there during an extreme heat advisory, the unit stayed cool and comfortable.

Great Vacation Getaway.

The location was great for a family vacation. The beach was tranquil. Met some wonderful families. The view from the balcony was amazing and during high tide the water came in so close it was akin to paradise. The furnishings were a bit dated and the washer and dryer did not work. The owner informed us a few days before arrival but shared a repairman was scheduled to fix it during our stay which did not happen. This was a bummer as we packed lite. No compensation was offered for the inconvenience. Access to the community basketball court was a plus for our son and the beach acces was spectacular. Hope to be back to this beautiful beach soon!

Great Oceanfront Getaway!

Very nice, clean property. We really enjoyed our 3 nights. Having never been to Topsail Beach, we were pleasantly surprised how nice the town is. Great views. I even got sprayed by the waves as the tide was right up to the condo! Highly recommend!

Ocean front balcony

This property was right on the ocean. High tides made it impossible to walk out to the beach. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the waves and tide, but we were limited to beach time. The kitchen had plenty of space and was well-equipped. The Murphy bed was easy to use and worked well for our teenager. The air conditioning units were noisy (mostly because they were working all the time due to the high heat). Property owner was good with communication.

Over the top amazing

This place delivered everything expected and then some. We went on a girls trip and have nothing but good to say from check in to check out. Alan was easily available, the place was clean, had AMAZING views, and incredible location, and the list could go on and on. We did get to see the dolphins playing just outside our balcony. Was so cool to hear the waves of the ocean the entire stay and to be able to step out onto the beach at low tide was the best. There is also a beach located minutes up the road and a short drive down the other way. Great stay!!
