Stayed Aug 9, 2025Lovely beach house in a great location with everything we needed for a family gathering. The two covered decks with the comfortable rocking chairs were a hit as were all the en-suite bathrooms! The elevator was very helpful in getting groceries and luggage up to the top floor, especially for the 70 year olds in the group. Would definitely return here.

Stayed Jul 26, 2025We absolutely love this house! A very well maintained property, accommodating, plenty of room, and very well stocked. This was our 3rd year at Himmelstrand and we already have it booked for 2026. The only reason I didn’t give cleanliness a 5 star was because a couple of bathroom showers were not as clean as they have been in the past and the property manager didn’t contact us. The owner is very proactive, informative, and wants to make your vacation stay the best week for you and your family. Thank you Chad!

Stayed Jul 19, 2025This property was the perfect setting for a multi-generation vacation. The hosts were timely with responses and even provided a fun shell connection activity with previous and future renters. It’s hard to find a spot where a multiple families with a wide span of ages can have and and relax. The faculties were clean and well care for. With the quick access to the beach and the main strip, it was our perfect spot.

Stayed Jun 21, 2025Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at the beach. It was a very warm week but the Topsail breeze helped to keep us cool. Everything about this house is perfect for our family.

Stayed May 23, 2025The house was beautiful and nicely decorated and very clean. We loved our family time and really enjoyed the house location, the easy access to the beach, pier, and shell collecting. Overall a great experience and we all want to come back to enjoy this well cared for house that felt like home away from home! Thank you for keeping it well maintained.

Stayed Aug 29, 2024We gathered nine adults and one infant for a family celebration. The rooms and beds were comfortable. Ocean access could not be better. And the two covered decks created get connection space. Kitchen was well equipped but with a large group the refrigerator/freezer space was small. Overall it was fantastic.

Stayed Aug 10, 2024This is the third year that my family has stayed here. The location of this tremendous home is what really sets it apart - it’s on the beach, within walking distance to shops and the pier, and the beach itself is quiet and clean. The home is well furnished and clean. On that note, Chad was an attentive and superb host. He went out of his way to line up a cleaning crew after flooded roads from Hurricane Debbie made it impossible for the original crew to prep the house for us. Thanks Chad! The home is starting to show some signs of wear - the back door needs replacing & a slider door required serious muscles to open and close. The bunk bed in one of the bedrooms squeaks very loudly and is quite disruptive. On a whole, this house meets our needs and we especially like the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom. You won’t be disappointed!

Stayed Aug 17, 2024This is a beautiful and well kept property that is perfect for a group of adults. Everyone has their own bathroom and there’s one room that’s great for a family with kids. The house is well laid out and comfortable and the covered porch is amazing or sitting out and looking at the ocean when it gets too hot to sit on the beach. Really enjoyed our stay!

Stayed Aug 3, 2024You couldn’t ask for a better place to stay! Owner really cares for his property and for his guests to make sure they are totally comfortable with his home! We enjoyed our stay, even though we had to deal with tropical storm Debby. Chad, the owner, stayed in constant contact with us to make sure that we were safe and that we were aware of the situation. Hopefully, we will be able to rent his home again next year. This was our second year staying in his property. Thank you Chad! Kathy

Stayed Jun 29, 2024This property is amazing. It's just as described, but more roomy than the pictures make is appear. We stayed with a large group ranging from infant to 94 yo and everyone had what they needed for the stay! Beds are comfortable, kitchen well appointed, and every bedroom having a dedicated bathroom was great for a large group! The beach was great. We were worried about it being crowded given the condos nearby, but we were there over a major holiday weekend and the beach was still peaceful and relaxing. The only minor thing to note is that the bunk bed is made of a metal frame, making it incredibly squeaky anytime someone moves. My high sensory kids requested ear plugs to be able to sleep, so parents of sensory kids may want to plan accordingly.

Stayed Jun 22, 2024Himmelstrand is a beautiful beach front property. This home is perfect for our family including an energetic two-year-old. The beach is beautiful, the weather amazing, and the one stormy couple of hours was amazing to observe. The location is conveniently located to shops and grocery stores. The parking space is more than adequate. . Thanks for sharing this property with our family. John and Melody

Stayed Jun 15, 2024We had a party of 15 and everyone was very comfortable. This house is close to the beach which makes it easy to come and go. It’s also close to town and restaurants, grocery stores etc. The hosts are great. They are available and they email you once in a while reminding you to take out trash and asking if we need anything. Overall this was one of our best beach vacations and we want to return!!

Stayed May 25, 2024Our stay in this lovely home was wonderful! There was plenty of room for our large family group. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for large group cooking. The home is situated in a quiet area on the beach and the view is beautiful. It is an easy drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Our hosts were gracious and quick to respond to any questions. By far the nicest home and beach location our family has stayed.
