Sol Connection 2 bed/2.5 bath condo/ Villa Capriani in N Topsail

Unit was as expected from pictures. The 2 level condo was nice with little ones that could go to bed upstairs while we stayed up. Everything was clean. Kitchen stocked well with essential items that would be needed. Received check in information with plenty of notice. Numbers supplied if help was needed; which we didn’t. A few little things here and there could use some repair but nothing major; all aesthetically related. The development itself is wonderful. My kids loved the duck hunts and 3 pools. Very short distance to the beach. We definitely would love to come back and stay again our family had a wonderful time.

Very comfortable condo, right on the beach, with nice view and access to multiple pools and hot tubs. Very well furnished and supplied for a short stay.

We enjoyed our stay at 309a! The view from the balcony was beautiful, the keypad instead of keycards was so nice to enter the condo, and the stairs the elevator was close to the condo entrance as well! I also appreciated that the bedrooms also have box fans provided as they helped keep the rooms slightly cooler. We did have to call maintenance two times about the dryer not drying, but the maintenance man was friendly and prompt both times. Booking this condo is super easy and I felt the price for the accommodations was reasonable. Lastly, the on premises restaurant is a wonderful place to eat, with gluten free options for my dietary needs as well! The staff at Splash By the Sea were so friendly, I highly recommend trying it! The only thing I would recommend is in the off season maybe touching up the paint in a few places in the condo to freshen it up a bit! Otherwise it was a very nice condo with ample room for the 4 of us during our stay. Will definitely consider renting again!

Check-in was fine, easy enough. The entire condominium building could really use a facelift. The unit itself was very different than what we expected based on photos. A lot of wear and tear, damage to paint, cracks in the tiles and floors, mold around faucets and in the grout/bathrooms. It has so much potential but really fell short of expectations. We were also surprised at the lack of cleanliness. When we arrived, the unit smelled heavily of cigarette smoke (perhaps the owners of the unit and not neighbors as suggested, because the smell was seeped into furniture and carpets and walls). It mostly dissipated after a few days of candles and the fans running, but FYSA if you are sensitive. Dishes were still in the dishwasher from the prior stay and the coffee pot hadn’t been washed. The one bathroom lacked hand soap, which was addressed by the property manager. One of the shower curtains was pretty badly molded (which was also addressed by the property manager on our second day). One of the tubs wouldn’t drain, so they came and addressed that. Light bulbs out throughout the unit. A broken lamp in the master bedroom that worked but just looked raggedy. A freezer that was over freezing and an absolute mess to put anything in. Pretty stocked but dated kitchen (a lot available but all very heavily used and showing wear). Just left a lot to be desired overall, despite responsiveness of Sol. Needs a deep clean. Would not stay again or recommend the unit to friends or family.

When we book this vacation, I picked it purely due to location because we had a soccer tournament immediately following it. I quickly fell in love with this property and island. You cannot go wrong staying here. It is beautiful, has amazing views and makes you feel like you’re right at home. I would highly recommend this to anybody looking having a relaxing vacation or getaway with your family.

Inside the condo was beautiful, furnished well and had everything we needed. Plenty of hot water, four of us took showers right after the other and never ran out of hot water. Pool area was gorgeous!! Maintenance was there early every morning to clean and set the area back up for the day. The beach was beautiful, clean and not crowded. Tons of shells to collect. We ate at the restaurant two nights and the food was good and very convenient to have the restaurant on the property. The only negative comments we have…. In the condo we had the air down to 65, very cool downstairs but very stuffy upstairs. The air seemed to not travel up the stairs. The dryer would not dry clothes but maintenance was coming to look at it. The door to the condo had a hard time locking from the outside and the door to the balcony would stick, had to shove on it to open or close. The biggest complaint would be the exterior of the building as a whole. It needs a big facelift. Along with the interior of the restaurant they were both extremely dated. Doors, walls, elevators, luggage carts, gates, floors need repaired, scrubbed, painted or replaced. Once you get past the first impression of the building and make it to 309a you will be pleasantly pleased and will enjoy your stay.

Roaches in condo! Condo needs updating. Disappointed in condo. Surroundings were ok but needs better upkeep on grounds.

We will be staying again, great views, beautiful property. Condo was exactly what we needed for our larger size family and they had everything you needed to cook with. Bonus: Captain Long Whiskers (Jumpy), Jill, WiFi in unit, great communication and the friendliness of the of staff of Villa.

Would highly recommend. Condo was awesome, the resort was great and the restaurant/bar was incredible. We do plan on going back. Thanks to all the people that made our trip enjoyable.

This is an excellent location and unit. Super clean, plenty of space for the kids to stretch out (bedrooms upstairs was outstanding). Great views, wonderful restaurant, kids loved the pool, and super easy access to the beach. Looking forward to a return trip.
