Stayed Dec 22, 2025We had another wonderful stay at Escape Hatch! Paul is very responsive and a pleasure to coordinate with. The direct beach access is awesome and walking along the beach is so relaxing. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean and seeing the dolphins in the morning is the highlight of our stay. I love that the kitchen is so well equipped and there are several grocery options within 10 minutes, as well as restaurants and other eateries. The house is clean, cozy and beds are comfortable, with games, books, and easy to use smart TVs. Plenty of room for our family of four and could comfortably accommodate more. We will definitely be back!

Stayed Jul 19, 2025Great House. Plenty of shared space in the main living area. Large kitchen table. Plenty of utensils for cooking, and nice to have a few stock items in the pantry. Loved the spacious upper and lower decks for view of the ocean and the nightsky! Large beach in front of house. Easy check-in with good instructions to locate lock box.

Stayed Jun 21, 2025We’ve been visiting Topsail for years as most people do. With our kids getting old enough to surf and swim completely unattended this place is fantastic. There was plenty of space to keep all our boards in the garage or under the deck. The easy access to the ocean and the view from inside the house was incredible. I loved being able to just walk out and surf anytime the waves cleaned up.

Stayed Jun 14, 2025My children, parents, husband, and I especially liked the large living space being on the middle level as it meant less steps to and from the beach. My mother recently had surgery, so we were worried about that, but she was able to get down and back up on her own with no problems. We all enjoyed sitting on the covered deck every day and playing games at the large dining table. Kitchen was well equipped, AC was cold, and it was nice to secure cars in the garages.

Stayed May 15, 2025We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Escape Hatch! Our large family gathering was made even more special thanks to the great layout and inviting atmosphere of the home. The main living area is perfect for hosting, featuring a spacious dining table for shared meals and a cozy living room with plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to relax and connect.The dual decks and Ocean views were a highlight—we spent many hours enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery. The house is filled with natural light and has an open, airy feel that made it great to spend time in.The beach is both beautiful and accessible. We had a blast playing cornhole, surfing, and soaking up the sun. The bedrooms are generously sized, and three of them open directly onto the upper deck, offering ocean views and it is great for evening stargazing.The location on the island is ideal and is a quick drive to nearby shops and essentials. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We left with great memories, and we would absolutely love to return to this property in the future.

Stayed Nov 26, 2024The property is in a great location with ample space. Rooms were spacious and furnished well. We just had two minor comments - the stove top runs very hot. The upstairs shower/tub combo only has water for tub - the shower did not work. We had a very nice relaxing holiday and would rent the house again. Also, I have already recommended the place to a friend.

Stayed Sep 26, 2024This is our second year staying at Escape Hatch. Me and a group of girlfriends take a beach break every year. The location is perfect, beachfront living! Paul was very diligent throughout the rental process while there. We had a hiccup with the AC that was a new unit issue and Paul stayed on top of it and had the repair company there quickly! We will be back again next year!!!

Stayed Aug 31, 2024This was our 3rd stay at Escape Hatch and we have truly enjoyed each visit! Paul is a great host and his vacation home is absolutely wonderful! We love the layout of the house - it is very spacious and comfortable. Having the living area on the first floor is definitely a plus and the views of the ocean from both the living area and the upstairs bedrooms are amazing! We enjoy using both decks and being only steps from the beach is simply fantastic (especially with toddlers)! Our family beach trips to Escape Hatch has become one of our favorite weeks of the year and we are very grateful to the Graupners for making it available!

Stayed Aug 24, 2024We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Escape Hatch. We go for the effects of the surf & star gazing, so the fact that the neighbor's security light to the east shines too luch on Escape Hatches back deck put a damper on that but we enjoy the house and the area.

Stayed Jul 13, 2024The location was fantastic! 1 flight of stairs to the beach. We have never been this close! We loved the spacious area by the sliding door. Plenty of space to beach bags and belongings. Kitchen had everything you needed ie containers silverware cups dishes etc. The layout is great having a bathroom on the main level and the laundry room! We enjoyed sitting on the decks and hearing the ocean! Plan on staying again!
