One Of The Largest Houses On The Island W/ Direct Ocean Front Access

We rented both sides of this perfectly adequate, somewhat dated house. We were with our kids & grandkids & were ok without fancy decor. Owner was responsive when I had questions. Living rooms were comfortable with relatively new sofas. TVs were up-to-date. Decent WiFi. Nice selection of books and toys, plus good board games. Kitchens were well stocked w/dishes, glasses, utensils, cookware. Nice well-maintained hot tub. HVAC/air conditioner worked well. Washers and dryers were modern, large. Bedrooms were small but adequate. Lots of extra blankets and comforters. Plenty of deck chairs and tables. Nice, wide beach & good walkway. Wonderful view of the beach/ocean. Lots of like-new boogie boards and other beach toys. Plenty of parking space. Elevator was very handy for moving in luggage and groceries.The quirky things: Dim lighting in living areas. Cat tower in 3734 living room very unappealing. Cat hair in the top bedrooms of 3734. Tricky to get hot water in the top floor shower in 3734. Both sides had dishwashers not attached to cabinets. They worked, but tipped away from cabinets when racks pulled out. 3736 kitchen faucet took a bit of fiddling to turn on. We never were able to get hot water from the 3736 primary bedroom faucet. Each side slept 13 people, but the dining tables each had seats for only 6. Multiple bathrooms had mildew on shower curtains and tiles. Throw rugs were threadbare/worn. Many of the curtains/draperies in bedrooms were flimsy, or falling apart.

We had fifteen family members and could have had several more too. Mario was so accommodating and quick to respond to any questions etc. I had. It was a great location and not far from shopping areas. The kitchen had about anything you could use. There was some cat hair in bedroom and a couple of grand kids had allergies but handled it with medicine. It was listed as pet friendly so have to expect that then. It was clean and we absolutely loved the outside elevator!! Would go again!! Thanks, Mario.

overall disappointed with the property. the cost did not match the property. Inaccurate descriptions, small rooms, poorly maintained, not clean. Bare minimum for the asking price The location was wonderful

I was a bit disappointed about the size of the bedrooms, the shared bathrooms and the kitchen areas were a bit disorganized but overall it was a great vacation. Can't beat the price for a 12 bedroom house. Will probably return.

We had a large family group with 3 generations and pets and this place was perfect for us. We rented both sides and found it well equipped with everything we needed and plenty of space to stretch out. The owner and his son were very responsive to questions we had, even while the owner was recovering from an accident and they could have very understandably not been able to do so! Topsail island is my happy place, and this rental was no exception to our 25 years of awesome experiences there!

Mario was kind, easy to work with, and fast to respond. The home is HUGE! With 8 bedrooms set up for equitable lodging and 4 bedrooms able to accommodate a slew of kids, this place was perfect for our large family. We had a great week enjoying the unrivaled Topsail surf/sand in this beautiful beach front home. Thanks, Mario!

Overall great stay.

We rented both sides of the house and it was PERFECT. It offered great space for eating meals together and then doing our own thing when we wanted to. The house is right on the beach, which was so nice and convenient. The owner responded promptly to any question I had. I would definitely rent again.

We all had a great time. The house provided us the space we needed to have great family meals and places where we could go off in smaller groups to enjoy our time when not on the beach.

We had a fantastic week at the beach with our entire family!!! We rented both sides of this house and couldn't ask for more! The layout of the house afforded everyone privacy as the common areas are on one level and the bedrooms are on the other levels. Our grand children could just walk out the door to the walkway to the beach without crossing any roads. This house is not just a rental property but has a lot of character in all the decorations and knick knacks throughout the house. Both kitchens are fully stocked with everything imaginable to cook amazing dinners. Mario has been very responsive to every communication and wanted to make sure our week was top notch! I would definitely rent this house again in the future!!!
