    Amazing home, location, and customer service! We loved being so close to the beach, especially with the private community entrance. The unit was very clean upon arrival, and the layout was great, particularly on rainy days. The primary bedroom bed and sheets were hands down one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on during a vacation. The large couch in the living room was a favorite for our family movie nights!We also loved how close we were to the pier. During our week-long stay in January, we found over 1,000 shark teeth! Communication with both the rental company and the owner was fast and efficient when needed. We would be happy to stay here again!

    My family of five had the best time and loved our stay! It was a quaint little home with beach access steps away! I’m already trying to convince my husband to let me book it again for next year! :)

    We enjoyed our stay at A Writer's Reef! If you're planning to spend most of your time on the beach, you can't beat being a few steps away. This cozy accommodation provided a very comfortable stay for our few nights at North Topsail. We would definitely stay here again!
