Stayed Jun 19, 2026The host was excellent. The property was immaculately clean. Two points I’m not sure were in previous reviews or the property description: the down stairs portion of the cottage has its own entry. There are no internal stairs connecting it to the top main floor. Also, should you plan on having 10 people here, it will be cramped. I don’t see this as an issue personally as the value here are the great views and proximity to the beach. This was our first trip to Topsail island and we really enjoyed the laid back, non commercialized experience. In summary, the cottage is tastefully updated and made for a great beach vacation with my family.

Stayed May 29, 2026This is our 3rd family & friends' vacation stay at the Lifesaver in the last four years. The hosts are great to work with & the location and set up of the house are hard to beat. We love how well this house sets up for multiple generations staying in one location with the separate apartment in the lower level. We love how the great room and the covered porch are so close to the beach that it's like being on the beach when you are in the house, and the beach is just few steps away. The eating, kitchen and living areas that make up the great room easily accommodate large gatherings of 10 to 12 people. This place lives much bigger than its square footage because of its superb layout. Surf City, Topsail Beach and specifically the Lifesaver house has become a go to destination for us. A special treat this time was the full moon shining brightly over the ocean.

Stayed Jul 11, 2025This property is exceptional for several reasons - we are a family of 5, kids aged 8, 4 &2. Three bedrooms upstairs was perfect for us, and we had another family member in the downstairs apartment for 3 nights. The place is immaculate, clean, the perfect size for a no frills week at the beach. The kitchen and house has everything you could need to cook, play at the beach and relax. We were amazed that there were barely any people within 200 yards of us on the beach in either direction. But you are only about a mile from central Surf City, with plenty of restaurants, shops and ice cream stands to find plenty to do. The lifesaver has plenty of charm but is updated and accommodating. The host was wonderful in answering the few questions we had, and we greatly enjoyed out stay. Already considering going back!

Stayed May 30, 2025Emily was a great hostess. She laid out all the details of our stay and was able to accommodate an early check in! This house was amazing. All of the beach amenities were taking care of for your stay. Towels, toys, chairs and beautiful views every morning. We definitely will be there again!

Stayed Oct 2, 2024Beatiful location and property, everything was exactly as described. Very clean and had so many personal touches that made us feel right at home. The view is incredible because you can't get much closer to the ocean, its right off the deck. The beach itself was very clean, easily accessible and no crowds whatsoever. We look foward to coming back and staying at The Lifesaver again. It was truly a 10/10. . We
