6 BR/5.5 baths on quiet beach. Penthouse suite. Free linens. Gorgeous views!

Get ready for a HOT stay.We booked last minute with only a handful of options, we selected this home based solely on photos and had a less than spectacular stay.I want folks to know that you will NOT have control over the thermostats. The entire time we were there the inside temp never went below 78! Turn the temp down on the nest & it would jump back up. No way to override on the 3rd / 4th floors. 2nd floor had a non-smart thermostat & it stayed at 72. When it's 90 out, I know it is hard to cool down, but 72? I wasn't expecting 62. Even at night we couldn't get below 77. Miserable & humid is how I would describe our stay.NONE of the bathrooms had any soap, I can understand not having shampoo / body wash, but soap? We had to run to the store to grab those items for all the baths. Other VRBO/ B&B's we have stayed in have provided these items - as a courtesy it would have been nice. We DID receive a message about buying toilet paper and paper towels from our host - I guess that should have been the indicator.Service & cleaning fees were a little north of 800- YET we had a 1 page list of instruction for all of the things WE were expected to clean. Strip all the beds, clean all the towels. New sofa covers: clean any spills (obviously, but why put white covers?)In case it isn't obvious: THIS IS A DUPLEX. Pros: Great: communication from host, location, lounge chairs / beach toys. Overall I wish we had chosen another place with A/C that worked.

Lots of fun and beautiful location! Very nice house would love to go again.

We love Topsail and have been coming for over 10 years. Although we are used to having a full house with more bedrooms, this one fit our needs. This house is also walking distance from the park which was awesome for our kids. Only suggestion I have would to maybe add more living room seating to accommodate more people sitting on a larger couch/sectional and also fixing the stairs and railing that lead down to the beach. We had a wonderful time and the owner was great with communicating!

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at this fabulous property. Very spacious layout, kitchen is fully stocked, even with a separate beer/wine fridge. The owner, David, was extremely friendly and an excellent communicator. Very thorough and clear instructions regarding everything from check in, to restaurant suggestions to trash take out, as well as local urgent care and hospital information, and check out procedures. We had a few small things to suggest and the David was all ears. The property is very well-maintained and the location can’t be beat. Just over the northern bridge so grocery shopping is six minutes away. Literally almost across the street is a small playground the younger kids loved and our teens enjoyed the basketball court as well as tennis court. The pier is just a quick drive away or a bit longer walk on the beach if you choose. The beds were clean and very comfortable with ceiling fans in most room. The full baths attached to most rooms were also great when many wanted to brush teeth or get ready simultaneously. Living room was stocked with many games/puzzles for a rainy day and our big group had plenty of seating to all be able to enjoy meals together. We did not use the dumbwaiter, but that would be a great feature for someone who was bringing in groceries and luggage etc. The garage is great to pull into to unload or pack up in bad weather and it also housed many beach toys, and some beach chairs for those of us that forgot to bring them! The washing machine and dryer were also an awesome feature. It’s nice to be able to pack lightly and wash items throughout the week. We have never stayed at the same rental twice but this one is tugging at us to rent again! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the memories! The Quinlan/Backus Families

The location is beautiful, the house is spacious, and the owner is very attentive and responsive. A positive experience all around!

Everything was perfect

This property was great, our family thoroughly enjoyed our time on Topsail. The main reason for the 3/5 rating is the furniture, all of it, is horribly in need of replacement. All of the mattresses were uncomfortable, none of the couches or chairs had any cushion left, and the upholstery on all the furniture was beyond worn out. Besides those issues, the experience and space was great. The location of the house is awesome, close to the grocery and shopping, and the beach was wide open and beautiful.

I want to rent it next year for our annual beach trip. Keep up good work and management, we truly enjoyed staying in this property. The dumbwaiter is awesome.

This home provided the perfect place to spend a week at the beach. There are a lot of steps, the dumbwaiter definitely came in handy for hauling groceries and bags from floor to floor. The layout worked perfectly for our group, as everyone had their floor to get some privacy if needed. David the new owner was very communicative and responsive to questions and checked in on us by text during our stay. There were a few things mentioned to David for maintenance and needs, nothing that overall detracted from the stay. Nice quiet area just steps to the beach. We would definitely look this home up again if coming back to Topsail.

Overall very pleased with the stay. Great being ocean front with small children.
