Secluded Island Oasis - Located @ the very TIP of Topsail Island

Beach house is not as advertised The bottom level is full of sand and completely unusable, no swings, not dart boards, or etc. There is a water spigot but no hose to wash the sand off before entering the house, however there is one outside the bedroom deck so be prepared for sand to be EVERYWHERE!Parking is really an issue as mounds of sand have not been removed from the last big storm. The doors blow open with the wind unless kept locked. Maintenance needs to be done soon before the house gets too far gone. The beach is eroding horribly in front of the house and giant sand bags are being used. That is not that big of a deal as the beach is nice at low tide and lots of tidal pools. Currents are very strong and dangerous is this part of the beach. Messaged the owner about outdoor water but he did not respond. The Realty company managing the property was responsive but can only pass on the messages. North Topsail is a nice area and I will return, just not to this house.

The place was clean. Couldn’t access beach underneath due to sand. If we hadn’t had a 4WD vehicle we would’ve been stuck in all the sand in the driveway. Stairs inside were dangerously shallow. Dining chairs about to collapse. The recliner tips over if you try to lean back. Outside lights weren’t all working. Freezing downstairs. Warm upstairs. You can tell it’s been left to fall into the surf soon. But, it was 4 days at the beach. Luckily we could walk underneath the unit next door to access the beach as no one was there.

Awesome property, great for a secluded getaway.Not much for kids to do , unless it's on the beach , otherwise amazing!

Perfect location! Inside of the house set up great! Just 2 little suggestions maybe update the cookware a little and there's no place to wash your feet off coming in from the beach. Regardless of those 2 little things we had a great time and loved the place. We'll be back for sure!

Great location and easy check in.

Overall we had a good time,(never had a bad day when at the beach).Otherwise the cleanliness of the property wasn't up to standards as far as rentals go. There was hair in the downstairs bathroom sink and tub. The kitchen wasn't very organized and the trashcan needed a good cleaning. Also the description stated, queen, full and singles, with queen sleeper sofas. Both of the bedroom beds were queen. Had to go out and buy another set of queen. The slider on the bottom floor wouldn't open from the outside. Was locked out numerous times. Will return to Topsail, just not at this property again.

We did enjoy our stay, but the cleanliness definitely needed paid attention to better. We had to clean the toilets and bathtubs prior to using them. There were some dishes that were dirty and just put back in the cabinets (I understand how this could be missed since previous guests could have just put it back and it didn’t get seen until a new guest arrived to use said item). The “baby” items that were available definitely need updated. But that wasn’t a huge deal, my kiddos are 2 and 4 so we didn’t HAVE to use them. It was the perfect setup for our family though. We really enjoyed the quietness of the area and the ease of access to the beach. It was very nice to be able to put the toddlers to sleep and still have their monitor reach my setup outside along the beach. I would have addressed the cleanliness sooner, but I didn’t see the sticker on the welcome packet stating “if you have issues with cleanliness of your property upon check-in, please contact ___”. My mother checked in before us so I didn’t see the envelope of the packet until the night before departing. If anyone wants to reach out about it, I’ll be more than happy to go into further detail about this issue. One thing that did make it difficult with the kids is that none of the bathtubs would allow you to plug the drain to give them an actual bath and not a shower. Just a heads up on that issue. With all this being said, it was still a wonderful vacation and I’d stay here again with issues resolved.

Location is right on the beach which is what was expected the house itself is very rough everything works surprisingly decks are in very rough condition house has obviously weathered a few storms both loveseat and couch were broken upon arrival couch leg rest was up and couldn’t be put down loveseat was broken upon arrival as well also woke to a contractor pounding on the house on the outside at 8 am and after being lied to by the rental company about them not knowing why he was there but they would get it stopped in 10 minutes and they would call us back both of which never happened also blocked the only door with ladders so we couldn’t get out without sliding to the side but other than that was just fine other than high tide flooded the beach access every single time

Would be nice if there were outside stairs directly to the beach

Great location but it’s seen better days. With the house sooo close to the water, I can see where you wouldn’t want to put a ton of cash into upgrades. Some decluttering of the pantry, master bedroom closet, storage area under the house and laundry shelf would improve the house. Some extra stuff can be helpful but there is just too much stuff and some is old and broken or expired. If we had little kids, I would worry a bit about the cracked floor tiles as those can cut you. And, one thing we noticed….there are no drinking glasses. We were all adults on this trip and really enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect for 2 couples and 2 kids.
