Pets OK Beach Home+Short Walk Beach Access+Views! Recent Updates & Upgrades

It was close to beach - an easy 2 block walk. Liked all the beach gear available to us. Liked the outdoor shower.

We had two small dogs during part of our stay.

Host was great and very quick to respond. Location of this house is amazing. If you want to be close to the beach, this is perfect. It’s six a quick walk to the beach access. The home is cozy and had everything we needed for the stay. Overall a great stay!

The location is PERFECT. Such a short walk to the beach access. Only a couple minutes to the surf city bridge. Close to all the good restaurants but not too close. Hosts always responded quickly to any questions I had. Always polite and helpful! The house isn’t huge, but it was only 3 of us so it was the perfect size for what we needed.

House needs to be updated. Everything was just beat up. Sadly, i get that renters abuse property but putting a little of that rent revenue back in the property would go a long way. Not a very comfortable place to stay. Living room furniture only has a worn out sectional, needs more seating. Surprised there was not a dishwasher but not a deal breaker, should mention though. Your pic shows a basic coffee maker but you actually have a keureg, so we had to make a late nite run to a food lion for pods. We love old rustic properties, have rented many, this property was just run down. Needs some love

We recently stayed at this VRBO on Topsail for two nights. The hosts were great with communication, which we really appreciated, and the deck and railings appear to have been updated recently. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short of expectations.The photos of the property are somewhat misleading, as the interior shows considerable wear and tear. The home definitely fits more of a “budget stay” description. Several areas inside the house need attention—floors feel uneven and spongy in places, and the beds are not sturdy, with one headboard not even attached. The mattresses were also uncomfortable.The bathrooms in particular need maintenance. In the master bath, both the shower and sink have been painted with what appears to be refinishing paint, but it’s peeling and delaminating. The guest shower only had warm water, not hot.If you’re looking for a rustic beach-vibe stay and are comfortable with a more worn-in, budget-friendly property, this place might still work for you. However, for travelers expecting the condition shown in the listing photos or seeking a more polished, comfortable experience, this rental may be disappointing.

The house was beautiful and very homey. We had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. We all would recommend and would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay..the house was beautiful and as described, all accommodations were wonderful...would really enjoy staying here again

Very clean and host was very accommodating.

Nolan has thought of everything you could need and we didn't have to run out for staples like paper towels, TP, soap, detergent etc. he had these and all other household basics plus extras there: fans, baby gates, all the items on the listing were there and worked. We checked to see if the bikes had survived the rental crowd over the summer and he made sure they were in good shape before we arrived. This was so fun! Kitchen was fully stocked for cooking. Also great was all the beach stuff: wagon, umbrellas, boogie boards, cooler-- saved space in our car and must haves at the beach! You don't have to walk far at all to the beach, and it's a nice flat sandy beach with houses, no high rises. Love being in a little neighborhood of houses and you're only a mile from shops and the pier. The sunsets on the back deck over the sound are lovely. It's on a busy road but it's not fast traffic and you can't hear the cars inside. Furniture inside the house is in excellent shape -- beds are solid, mattresses clean and solid/soft, pillows pristine and all the bedding in new condition. Sectional sofa looks/feels new and is super comfy! Streaming/TV is great! Wifi works great and my kids kept up with online college courses while there. Thick fluffy towels all provided, (beach and bath). Outdoor shower in great shape. Hot water heater kept up with our family and we have 4 girls! Felt like a safe, good neighborhood, and Nolan was easy to communicate with and so helpful!

everything was wonderful

This was the perfect little beach house for our trip. It is so close to the ocean and was so easy for us to just walk over whenever we wanted to go to the beach. The patios were really nice to sit out on too!

Superior communication with hosts, excellent proximity to public beach access and gorgeous views of the Intracoastal waterway. Rocking chairs at sunset were the cherry on top!!

Easy access to beach and communication with host excellent. Had a great time. Bring extra toiletries and essentials like toilet paper..but stores nearby so you shoukd be fine.

We just finished our stay and overall had a great vacation! I am going to write a very honest and detailed review because I look for those myself when booking houses. If I were rating the house itself I would give it 3 stars but due to the location I am giving it 4.Pros:Super close to beach- 1.5 block walk- the BEST part about this rental! Owners provided great communication prior to our stay and after (we did not complain about anything so they did not need to respond during our stay)AC works well (not the case for many beach rentals)Large covered porch (although wish this was on the ocean side of the house)Rocking chairs on porch Deck isn’t wood- no splintersMaster bed has pillow top and is comfortable (a Queen- no room for a King)Did not hear the main road (we use sound machines)House clean upon arrival Beach toys/floats/boogie boards for our use Cons:No dishwasherNo dog crates or gates so dogs can’t come on decks without using chairs to block Very little counter space or cabinet space to store items we brought No extra sheets anywhere and only 2 extra blanketsFloor spots soft in many places due to water damage Glass door broken making it bang repeatedly with the windNo fenced in yard or pool VERY small house Nowhere to hang wet items without them blowing away No TVs in bedrooms- we resorted to watching tv on our phones in bed which was a bummerHammock is broken- can’t sit in itShower heads very short- had to duck to shower Thanks!

Very good location, easy walk to the beach. Photos exaggerate the size, it is quite small for a 3 bedroom. Needs updates including but not limited to ceiling fans. Not worth what we paid.

This beautiful beach house was perfect for myself and several friends. The location was incredible, with the beach being just about a 5 minute walk away and several restaurants within walking distance as well. The property had everything you could need for a day at the beach or time relaxing inside. The porch had an incredible view and was perfect for relaxing outside. This is the perfect place for a calm beach getaway.

We had a wonderful time at Dana Point for our first family trip to the beach as a family of 4. The location could not have been more convenient and the house offered us everything that we needed.

We had a great stay! Loved the hammock, the views, and the short walk to the beach. Good communication!Beds were a bit soft for our taste, but we still slept well.

Fantastic property and wonderful hosts. Plenty of beach stuff on hand for grandkids to play with and enjoy, with short walk to the beach.

Our family had a great experience . The property manager was great to work with and responded promptly with any questions we had. I would recommend this property to anyone.

The property was just as expected, the owner communicated well. We enjoyed our stay.

The house was nice, clean and well stocked with linens, towels, cleaning supplies, paper towels and toilet paper. Grill was rusted and bikes were in bad shape - not safe to ride. Even though the house was a short walk to the beach it was on a very busy - loud road. Host was quick to respond.

We had a great trip! The only thing to consider is if you have anyone staying or visiting that may be physically handicapped (and we did), be prepared to carry them up and down the staircase to get inside. There are no ramps or anything like that. to get inside and out.

It was a nice place to stay. The kids loved it. There was a couple items missing from the kitchen but overall it was a wonderful experience

Communication with the owners was excellent!! They wanted to assure all was well. The house was fully stocked with all essentials. The location was wonderful

House a short walk to the beach, very pleasant neighborhood and quaint overall. Would recommend for any little beach getaway!

House was in a great area and close to many restaurants and shops. Property was very clean and was so awesome that sheets and towels were included. The beach access was close to property too which made it an easy walk even with chairs and beach bag. We will definitely rent this house again 😁😎

We had a great time! The location was perfect and close to the beach as well as a short drive to shopping and food. The large front porch was perfect for the rain as well as under the house where my kids could still play without getting wet. Would recommend and hope to return in the future!

We immensely enjoyed our stay. The house is close to the beach and near many local restaurants. Daily walks on the beach are beautiful. We were very happy to be able to bring our dog and teens. Would definitely stay again!
