Family vacation

We loved being so close to town, that we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. The gathering spaces were large enough for all of us. Loved having a covered deck and the high chairs were perfect for seeing the ocean. Great vacation!!

We love this place!

This is our second time staying at this property. Location is walkable to most of downtown Surf City restaurants and shops. Close to the bridge for easy travel if you need to leave the island. House is very clean and owner John is very helpful and responsive. Beds are comfy and you have just about anything you need to cook in the kitchen. 5 stars!

Comes A Time Review

Property was great. All pots, pans, plates and silverware were in abundance of what we needed. Manager was very attentive to all of our needs and got back to us very quickly. Would recommend this house and Manager to anyone looking to stay here. Also house was centrally located to Surf City so we walked everywhere.

Phenomenal location!

This house is located right on the beach and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The house and deck sure take a beating from the wind and rain, and I can appreciate how difficult it must be to keep up with keeping everything fresh. With that being said, the deck, deck furniture and steps over the dunes could use some freshening. But those views! The rooms inside were as described and, frankly, this house is huge! We were able to accommodate everyone comfortably. Each had a room on the lower level with a sliding glass door that opens to the deck and faces the ocean. We opted to stay in the only bedroom on the top floor, where the kitchen and living room are located. The ocean views were spectacular from that floor! Overall, the house is nice but I would say the pictures were likely taken some time ago. The furniture is definitely more worn than depicted in the pictures. The house could use a deep clean. There is plenty of parking with two cars fitting under the house and a huge driveway remaining. There’s an outdoor shower, which hardware also could use a little freshening up. There’s plenty of room to lock up bikes under the house and out of the elements. There’s a small room as you enter the house with beach chairs, boogie boards etc. April is a great time to come as It wasn’t overly crowded, and the weather was quite nice! The owner lives nextdoor. Friendly and attentive but Not cool when he showed up without warning to hose off the deck!

A perfect family beach house

We had a wonderful stay at the house! Check in was very easy, the house was clean and ready for us and as pictured. The location is ideal with almost everything in walking distance. We did drive to go to the Karen Beasley Turtle Hospital for an afternoon with the kids. We absolutely loved Surf City and our house on the beach!

Great Surf City Location

We booked last minute and we were very happy with "Comes A Time." The owner was incredibly responsive. The home has great views and is conveniently located to Surf City businesses and the bridge. We will plan to book again on a future trip to Topsail.

Best Vacation Yet!

We really enjoyed ourselves at this home. We were a little worried at first about being so close to town. We thought it might be too crowded and loud, but all we heard were the waves. Plus the convenience of being able to walk to shops, restaurants, and bakeries was fantastic. We all look forward to staying here again!

Great visit to Surf City. Our home was well appointed with everything we needed. Suprised to find a great grill to cook on. So close to the shops and restaurants! John was quick to respond when we inquired about renting and worked to book the dates we needed. We will definitely book this home again!

Great beach getaway

This house is a gem Surf City. The layout was very conducive to a large family gathering. The seating was comfortable along with the beds. Access to the beach could not be beat along with the views from the top deck. It is within walking distance to so much along with the small market IGA we did not have to move the car. We plan to return.

Excellent location and excellent property!

This was the first time our family stayed in this house - we love Topsail and like being close to the pier and we insist on being on a quiet street because of the kids and dogs. This house fit the bill all around. It was nicely appointed and we loved having the two gates to keep everyone safe. We also liked being across the street from our favorite deli so we could walk over for breakfast and lunch. The keyless entry was a nice feature as well. Everyone loved the house and we plan to return next year!

Christmas 2019

The property and house were wonderful and john was very quick at answering questions we had a great time. Would definitely recommend if looking for a house right on the ocean with amazing views and endless beach. Get up early to enjoy the sunrise and we even got to see dolphins 3 morning coming to eat so close to shore. Will definitely come back and stay again if I get a chance to return. Thank you for a great holiday on the beach....
