Amazing Place to Stay

We loved the location. Can relax on the front porch and watch the ocean. Less than a minute walk across the street and you are on the beach.

Wonderful View!!

We had a great vacation with family and pups! Easy access to beach and everyone loved the screened porch. Having the fenced in back yard was an added bonus for the dogs. The location was great!!

Perfect beach getaway

We booked months in advance. We had no idea our stay would be interrupted by a tropical storm. The host and hostess stayed in contact throughout our visit to make sure we were comfortable and educated on local resources. The home was well stocked for rain day events and everything beach!!! We had a wonderful time! Thank you for making your happy place our happiest of family Vacations!!!

Great birthday weekend

It was my daughters 24th birthday so we just wanted a weekend away at the beach with our family and her to dogs. The location was perfect, very clean great host checking in with us a few times due to the Hurricane. It couldn’t have been any nicer.

A Beautiful Getaway

My Husband and I (and a friend) took my 1 year old to the beach for the first time. This beach house was perfect! The bed were comfortable. The kitchen was super clean and easy to cook in. My daughter loved running around the porch and kept pointing to the beach anytime we were outside. We cannot wait to come back. Truly a beautiful house. Thank you for letting us rent your house for a few days. We made everlasting memories.

Great time, great location.

This was the perfect, cozy place for a long weekend getaway. We love being able to travel with our German shepherd, so we very much appreciate being able to bring her. Location was perfect, just steps away from the beach access. Checking in was a breeze and many essentials were provided. We loved sitting out on the screened in porch listening to the waves crashing. We did end up buying beach chairs instead of using the ones provided. They were usable, just very worn down. The couches in the living room also had visible stains, this didn’t bother us too much as we didn’t spend a ton of time there, but we did lay a towel over it. Would definitely stay here again.

Great family vacation!

This house is such a gem! It was clean, well stocked, comfortable, super close to the beach, and had a lot of conveniences. The fenced yard was great for the pups, outdoor shower was a hit, and the screened front porch was awesome - allows you to still be able to hang outside when it rains. The wagon, extra chairs, and sand toys were also a bonus. Extra fridge in the basement…could go on and on. Clint has thought of everything! He’s a great host. Instructions were clear and he’s accessible if you shall needed. Will definitely return!

Perfect!

The house feels like a home. Not like a sparce vacation rental. It's well laid out, with lots of living space setting, a wonderful table that serves very well for family games. Plenty of everything you could want in a kitchen. For pets it's perfect. A large fenced in space and a screen porch with locking door that allows for lots of freedom for the 4-legged family members. There's a nice ocean view from both sides. The location is great. Not too far from restaurants and shops but away enough to be quiet. The access to the beach is very close. We've stayed in ocean-front houses where the beach access is further from the beach than at this location, just because of the way it sits. The only time I needed to reach out to the owner, I heard back immediately. It turned out to not be an issue at all. We would definitely come here again.

Peace At The Beach!

Hi all! We arrived at night, so l didn't see the beach, but l heard it, and smelled it. When the dawn broke, oh my! 😲 What a beautiful sight that greeted me. The beach is awesomely close, and l enjoyed coffee, sitting in the screened porch morning after morning! Even though the weather was 80 degrees and cold and rainy the rest of the time there, my family and l had a terrific time eating and cooking in the spacious dining area. In fact, the home is roomy, inside and out. The place was clean and inviting. I was disappointed in the care and operating state of the bikes when my bother and l tried to ride them...but, very, very nice neighbor across the street and everyone said hello to us. Grocery shopping, eating areas, and good walking nearby. Easy, easy check-in too. The owner was a pleasure to work with. Teachers, you get a discount! 😊 This home is simple, nice, spacious and clean in a quiet, slow neighborhood-that is in the cool and cold months, which have become my new favorite 😀. (thank you for sharing your home with this beach lover!)

An absolute dream property

Our communication, from the beginning, was clear and open. This held true with follow on arrival instructions. The screened in porch facing the beach is absolute perfection! Best place in the whole house. Kitchen is a breeze to manuver around. Having an extra fridge downstairs is a bonus. There is little to nothing you will want as far as beach gear, no matter your age, and a wagon to get it the very short walk to the beach access point (#6) Linens were there when we arrived and very clearly marked for each bed size including towels and a rag bag (we used the rag bag for the kitchen.) Plenty of extra blankets and pillows too. Plenty of cooking seasonings, plates, utensils, cooking items, and storage items. This really cuts down on what you need to bring (same with linens.) We were very glad to see some dog bowls and a mat (under the sink.) There was even a glass jar of dog treats! Plenty of room in both fridges. The main fridge even makes two kinds of ice. It was almost like they new we were die hard whisky drinkers (ice balls for the win!!) Neighbors were quiet and the beach was less than crowded (Yay OBX!!!) And the beach is clean, of course. Been coming to Topsail since the 80's (we had a family house) and this was our first time in Surf City. This property made the slight move north worth it. The ocen is beautifully viewed from the screened in porch so don't worry about a lack of view. That was not an issue. Hats off to the owners!!!!

A Happy Place for sure

I love Topsail Beach! Nice home and fenced yard as I have little dogs! Easy access to the beach across the street. Comfortable home with a large tv in family room that I could easily operate! Had to reach out a couple of times and had a quick response and resolution! my car never left the driveway:)

This was our 2nd stay at this property and we absolutely love the location, beach, and Surf City vibe. Enjoying our morning coffee while watching the sunrise from the beach or front porch is the perfect start to the day. The beach and ocean are easily accessed and perfect for families. The kitchen and grilling amemities made eating in a breeze. Access to the fenced in back yard is a big plus for those of us that travel with our fur baby. The host is very accommodating and his communications are prompt. We thoroughly enjoy vacationing at "Our Happy Place!"

Spring break stay

Everything was as advertised. It truly is a happy place. The views of the water can’t be beat! The beach is so much better than public surf city beach, much nicer sand and not crowded. Easy walk caddy corner from the home.The home has everything you could need, including beach chairs, boggie boards and sand toys. The table games were a hit too. Our dogs loved the fenced yard.Clint was a pleasure to work with. Definitely a 5 star stay! We’ll be back!
