    The renovation was great. The gathering area was perfect for family game nights. Plenty of seating for everyone. The ocean views from the deck were beautiful and the covered deck made it possible to sit out there all day. The kitchen was very well supplied and our cooks really liked the barbecue right off the kitchen. We had a great time and hope to return next year.

    This property was excellent. Our family really enjoyed the open living areas upstairs and the great views. The renovations were beautiful and really covered everything you could want. The kitchen was well equipped, the elevator was handy for grandparents, and the proximity to beach access is right across the street. The owner was very attentive and responsive when we contacted her. We would definitely use this house again.

    Our first family vacation at Topsail Island was perfect! We had a wonderful time making memories at this beautifully renovated, spacious home in Surf City. We were honored to be the first guests after the renovation! Kudos to Susan, the owner who pulled out all the stops to create a beautifully warm, comfortable and inviting place where our family of 11 truly felt at home! The new elevator was a huge blessing for sure. The kitchen was one of the most thoughtfully, well appointed we have ever enjoyed in our 20+ years of renting. We love cooking and sharing meals together so the large kitchen and farmhouse table was an added blessing! The house location was really perfect for us and close to everything we needed! The beds were very comfortable and the Great Room living space had plenty of cozy, comfortable seating to chat, play games or enjoy a movie together on the giant TV. We also enjoyed relaxing on the fully furnished decks as we watched the ocean waves tumble. The owner could not have been more helpful, kind and gracious! I would highly recommend this beautiful, clean, well appointed and home to anyone! We will be back Susan!!!!

    This home was absolutely beautiful and comfortable! Our 4 children (24 thru 18) plus my husband and I had plenty of room to relax and enjoy the amazing views and sounds of the ocean! We will be back!

    This house was exactly as described - maybe had even more amenities than advertised! Perfectly located within walking distance of all the businesses in surf city, and sound-side park. The house had lots of rainy day activities, including a great under-house area for hanging out and playing cornhole, darts, etc.

    Everything was wonderful. Location of this property was excellent! The owner was very well with answering all of my questions and communicating. I brought too much stuff because the kitchen was much more equipped than what I expected.

    An attractive and well-appointed cottage with lovely ocean views. We like the convenient private beach access only steps from the front door. The kitchen had plenty of cookware, plates and glasses. The owner is pleasant and responded quickly to our questions. Excellent property for family vacations.. Our overall rating is definitely 5 stars.
