Dog-friendly coastal home with wrap-around porch and short walk to the beach

The house is nice. VACASAs handling of issues made the stay challenging. One of the showers didn’t work (no water, no matter how we turned, pulled, or pushed on the central knob) and it took VACASA three days to send a repairman. The repairman fixed something and tried to say that it had been working all along, but we weren’t using it correctly. The password to the door stopped working and instead of resetting it remotely, VACASA gave us the code to the lockbox, so we had the master key to the door. Potentially unsafe condition for future guests (and who knows how many times this had happened before our stay)

This is a perfect little beach house. It is so well appointed, you really do not have to bring anything with you except your toothbrush and your clothes. The towels are soft and fluffy. The sheets were cozy. Everything was so clean and the screened in porch was the best part of sitting outside in the evening. There is a game room down stairs, but we did not use it. All in all our few days there were delightful.

I booked this house for a short trip for my daughter's 16th birthday. It was perfect for our family of 5 plus 2 of her friends. Being dog friendly was also a big plus as ours vacation with us! It's a short walk to the beach and far enough away from the main hub of surf city. Neighborhood is quiet and off the main road. Will definitely rent again for future trips as we frequent topsail

Rental was very disappointing in most aspects. Dirty and uncomfortable. One star only. We will not be back.

When we arrived, it appeared that only bed linens had been changed and bathrooms cleaned. Sand and dried food was on the table, kitchen counters and side cart. The laminate floors were very dirty and had a lot of sand on them. We found dirty underwear under one bed and beside the dryer. The coffee pot was broken and leaked constantly and the outlet in the master bath did not work.The loveseat in the sitting area could not be used by anyone. It is worn out and very uncomfortable. Finally, the 20 steep steps to go in and out of the house and the three block walk to the beach is not ideal for senior adults. We were very disappointed and will not be back.

We had a great vacation! The house was perfect for our family and fur babies. We loved the location and the neighborhood. We will definately be back !

House as described, clean, in a quiet neighborhood.Walking distance easy to beach.Some features in the house are a little worn, but everything was nice and worked.

It was the perfect house! Lots of fun memories were made.

Nice neighborhood and easy walk to the beach. Enjoyed fixing meals in well equipped kitchen. And family game nights with games already there.

Cute house in a great little neighborhood right by the beach. You can’t beat it!

Adorable little gem in a cozy quiet neighborhood! Loved the large screened deck amongst the trees and the adorable kitchen! All the amenities needed for a long stay, too. Beautiful walk to the beach with lots of wildlife. Saw deer and squirrels and all the neighbors walking dogs were so friendly. Our only complaint was the bunk bed was sooo loud and creaky at night with hard metal steps hurting child’s feet when going to restroom at night. Room would have been better with two double beds. Will definitely come again!

Great place with easy walk to the beach. Nice neighborhood. Awesome screened porch!

Nice house with main living space conveniently all on one level, which was important for our multi-generarional trip (also with a tripod dog). Easy walk to the beach to two different access points. The beach wagon was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. The young adults (19 yrs olds) enjoyed the 2 bikes and took the 3 kayaks out on the sound (at low tide, unfortunately, although they still had fun). There is a convenient access to the sound nearby. Our dogs love to go on trips, too, especially to the beach, and we were fortunate to find this relaxing dog-friendly home to bring our 2 pups along with us for the 3-night stay. They especially loved the cool and breezy wrap-around screened in porch (they weren't the only ones!). We would definitely return in the future!

Overall a great stay. The proximity to the beach is a huge plus, and it's far enough down the beach from the heavily used areas that it's not crowded at all. The fact that we were able to get such a large, reasonably priced house so late was astounding. I have no complaints about any of the substantive aspects of the home. However, a few minor notes: 1. Some of the doors do not close without using a lot force. 2. The handle of the storm door in the main entrance falls off. 3. The dishwasher runs perfectly fine, but the display is a little messed up. One recommendation I would make is to allow for early check or late check out. Would have gladly paid for either of those options, especially since we went to the beach the day we checked out.

This was our first time visiting Topsail and this rental was the perfect home base. Sound views from the house and only a five minute walk to the beach. Very close to restaurants and other amenities but in a lovely quiet neighborhood perfect for relaxing and for families with small kids or dogs you want to keep safe. Three nice sized bedrooms and plenty of space for relaxing. Great bonus game room downstairs. I loved the ability to do laundry as well. Very clean and all the amenities we needed. Highly recommend!

This house was absolutely perfect for our stay. Very clean upon arrival. Located in a quiet neighborhood and only a short walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend this house to others.

We had a quick stay of just two nights with our two dogs. This house offers games for the whole family in the basement as well as a wonderful enclosed porch with a comfy and serene sitting area. Located in a private community with only a 5 minute walk to the beach, this house was wonderful. The beach access point is right across from the entrance of the community. Overall a wonderful stay!

Lovely pet friendly home. Perfect kitchen with all necessary utensils (including a steamer for shrimp and lobster) Location is fantastic. We have family with grandkids and pets. It was an awesome home!
