Ocean-view beach home - private hot tub, central AC & fireplace - dog-friendly

Not clean, especially the kitchen floor, all the other floors and under the beds. There is no broom or mop to clean it ourselves. The double bed in the back bedroom is terrible. We had to take the mattress from the sleeper sofa to put on the bedroom mattress to make it tolerable. (Though we didn’t use it, the sleeper sofa also looked unusable.) Though not expected, the dispensers in the shower were empty.The kitchen was pretty well stocked, but didn’t have any large/ serving spoons. Loved the decks, the chairs and picnic table on the deck, the views of the ocean and the sound, and the Ninja coffee maker.

Great views of the ocean and the sound. The house was dirty and the bedding poor.

We recently stayed at this beach house and can confidently say the best part of it is the location—it’s just a very short and easy walk to the beach, which made our days incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The porch decks were also a highlight, offering lovely views of the ocean and a great place to relax. That said, the house could use some general maintenance and attention. When we arrived, the floors didn’t feel clean, the kitchen table was sticky, and we were surprised to find a bug under one of the bed pillows. The furniture is quite worn—especially the couch, which is so saggy that shorter guests had to crane their necks to see the TV comfortably. The beds could use a refresh as well. The kitchen has the basics, but a set of sharper knives would go a long way. We also noticed that the landscaping around the house needs some upkeep—especially the weeds growing around the back stairs. Overall, we loved being so close to the beach and appreciated the great views, but with a little extra care and updating, this home could be a truly fantastic rental.

What a wonderful home and perfectly located within steps to the beach. Our stay was filled with lots of laughter, sun, sand, and memories made. We loved the big kitchen table that we were able to play games on and all sit to eat at. The decks showcased amazing views of the entire island. We would love to stay here again! Hopefully next year ❤️

We spent a week here with a group of 15, and really enjoyed the quiet beach location at this access. The house was very nice and had enough space to accommodate us all. It would be nice to have more linens provided - for example we could only find one dish towel and had to use bath towels for all of our cooking/cleaning of the kitchen. We also did laundry daily to have enough bath towels for everyone. It was pretty clean but still had some dog hair on a comforter and some sand on the floors, the oven hadn’t been cleaned out. Our family was pleasantly surprised to find a gas grill downstairs that we used a few times! The hot tub was well serviced. We enjoyed the large lot size so the kids could play baseball out in the driveway area. Overall a nice place to stay just bring more dish towels and possibly bath towels depending on how many people you have!

House was great and had everything we needed! Location was awesome with just a short walk to the beach. Loved our stay and loved the house!

We enjoyed our time and the wonderful views at this home. Easy access to beach. Nice to eat breakfast on 3rd floor in the morning and look at the ocean. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Loved location and the big decks. Best of both views. Ocean on one side, sunset on the other.

This was a typical stay. The hot tub was nice. The views were beautiful. Perfect distance from the beach. There was nothing that was super spectacular about the place, but it was overall a good place. It could use updates on paint, a working microwave, and the cleaning crew could pay better attention to detail. A BBQ grill would have been a nice option.

The property was close to the beach with a terrific view of the ocean and intercoastal waterway. There was plenty of space for everyone and the deck had gates at either end allowing us to feel safe that the dogs and children were able to move from inside the house to outside without worry.

We enjoyed staying at this property with our teenage children and dog. There was plenty of space to spread out and the short walk to the beach was perfect!

The dual views of the sound and ocean are delightful. We enjoyed the deck and hot tub. Kitchen is equipped and we appreciated the cleanliness of kitchen and bathrooms. Parking is easy. Bedrooms mostly are large. Foam toppers on the mattresses. The LR furniture needs a refresh and the living room isn’t large enough for the # of bedrooms in the house, considering it is the only inside gathering space. We had 9 adults and 2 children. May be less of an issue in the summer but something to consider if you have a big group.

The top loft is neat. Love the full decks with hot tub ! Cool easy to use kitchen with small island.

Our family enjoyed our time at this house. For our needs perfectly. Just had to walk across the street to the beach and easy to go back to the house for the rest room and a quick bite for lunch.

Great . Trimming of vines and briars around steps need to be cut

Can’t beat the location and views of this beach house. So close to the ocean and grocery stores, restaurants, and shops are nearby. Lots of space to spread out and the large deck with a hot tub was amazing. Make sure to bring your own beach chairs, umbrella, toys etc as they aren’t provided. Hosts were communicative and helpful. Easy check in and out process. We would happily stay here again!

We loved the proximity to the beach and well-furnished kitchen for family meals. We loved our time at N Topsail Beach!

Plenty of room, great access to beach and cottage was comfortable. The only thing that needs looked into is the washing machine…when you run it it sounds like it is going to fall through the floor in spin cycle…I think the drum is off center…great place though.

Everyone loved the hot tub and lots of deck to hang out. We had 3 teenagers in our group so sleeping was a challenge for them. The sun was too bright in loft to allow them to sleep in??? It would be great for younger kids that like to get up early.

This house has the best view of sunsets and sunrise. Beautiful, private beach.
