Holly Ridge, North Carolina
Some people have called this 'your grandma's cottage'. It is the classic H-plan with four bedrooms (2 oceanfront) and 2 full baths all on one level. The ocean side deck is a screened in porch with four tall adirondack chairs and a table, as well as two rocking chairs. There is a lower deck that has an outside shower for rinsing off after your beach time or for enjoying the sunshine. The two oceanfront rooms have king beds and the two back bedrooms each have two full beds. Three of the four bedrooms have small flat-screen tvs with high definition antennas (no cable tv in the bedrooms). Depending on how comfortable your travelers are at doubling up in the full beds, the home would sleep 8 -12 (2 each in the kings and 1 -2 each in the fulls) although I limit occupancy to 8. Be advised that there is no sleeper sofa and no rollaway or trundle in the home, nor do I stock cribs or playpens for babies.
The living room has comfy slipcovered furniture and there is a flat screen TV as well, with HD cable, a blu ray player and a tv sound bar which has Bluetooth and can double as a music speaker. We have strong WiFi for all of your internet needs. The kitchen is equipped with the normal conveniences in addition to a VitaMix blender, a regular coffee maker, a Cuisinart toaster and a microwave. On the ground floor of the home is a laundry room that also has a full hot and cold water enclosed shower, a third toilet and a utility sink. I have this listed as a third bathroom on VRBO but it's really more of a last resort bathroom since it's on the ground floor.
Please note that between Memorial Day and Labor Day this is a 7 day, Saturday-to-Saturday only rental. Check in is typically 5pm Saturday with check out the following Saturday morning at 10 am. In March, April, May, September and October I may consider renting for periods less than or more than a week based on availability, or allowing early check in or late check out.
In addition to providing a competitive price I also try to stock some things that most rentals don't - namely toilet paper, bath soap, trash bags, dishwashing gel, and laundry detergent. I do my best to keep stock of these on hand all year but in the deep summer months availability may be limited or completely depleted so I cannot promise the house will be fully stocked with the previously mentioned items. But what's there you can use. Under the cottage is a large assortment of kids beach toys (buckets, shovels, sandcastle molds, etc) for your little ones to use, and the occasional boogie board.
I do not provide linens or towels, or any beach items like chairs or umbrellas. Linens may be rented from any one of several local companies.
Beginning August 2021 I am limiting pets to repeat renters only, so although new renters may not bring a pet, be advised that the home is not technically pet free, so if you have pet allergies please be aware of this.
I have a local cleaning crew and handyman on the island, so you don't need to worry about anything if something comes up regarding a repair or cleaning issue. My response time, and theirs, if faster than any realty agency on the island.
There are three grocery stores within a 15 minute drive of the home (IGA on the island in Surf City, Food Lion on the mainland and Harris Teeter near Highway 17).
I sincerely hope you enjoy your stay at our home - every time I leave I want to turn around and go right back!
We love Bryan’s home and can’t wait to come back! He is very helpful, and kept us updated through Idalia. The house has everything you need. :)
Our family had a wonderful stay at this beachfront cottage in Topsail Beach. We loved the traditional and comfortable beach-cottage feel of the home. The house is well-stocked with kitchen essentials, games and beach toys. Having a laundry room was an added bonus! The location steps from the ocean can’t be beat and the view from the screened-in porch is amazing. The owner gave us some great tips about things to do and was always available to answer any questions that we had. Highly recommend!
Brian was absolutely wonderful to communicate with. The home was very clean and honestly better then I had expected! We will definitely be booking this home again!
The location couldn’t be beat. House has spacious bedrooms and so many touches. Night lights, stocked tool drawer, vitamix blender, radio in the kitchen, nice mattresses, toothbrush holder, cotton coverlets, plug strips in each bedroom, laundry baskets in each bedroom, the list goes on. I can’t wait to go back.
Great location and beach.
The Tip-Sea Turtle was exceptional. We had everything we needed and it was very well stocked and very clean, comfortable furnishings! I would welcome the chance to stay here again!!! Absolutely loved it!!!
Wonderful place! Being right on the beach was amazing with kids because we didn’t have to cross the road. Bryan was very helpful with tips about the area, road reports and more. The house was very comfortable and was well stocked with everything needed. We brought our own sheets and towels so didn’t need to rent. Bring your own beach chair, but no need to bring toys because there are lots. We found lots of shark teeth and shells. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!
This is the second time we have rented this beach house and we enjoy this location a lot. Its quite peaceful area, spent most days on the beautiful beach with our dog (Topsail is a dog friendly beach :) playing and surf fishing. The good news is if your not catching dinner and there is a bounty of fresh seafood available close by. Highly recommend Lewis Seafood and Food Truck for fresh local seafood. Honestly once we arrive the only reason we leave is for food and drink....Its a great place hang out!
The house was exactly as the pictures show. We have never stayed in a home that was better stocked with paper products etc. The porch, views, beachfront were the best Our entire family loved the stay.
Very comfortable and homey. Able to relax and enjoy beach atmosphere, great beach access right from door. Well stocked with all the essentials. Owner was very accessible and responsive. Would definitely stay again without hesitation.
