Tan-N-Sand - Stylish Oceanfront Beach Cottage!

We come to Topsail every summer, but this was our first trip without all the kids and grandkids. We just need a small house and this was perfect for us! We loved the screened porch and were able to enjoy it thoroughly! I was able to work and sit outside and enjoy the music of the ocean. Since we also had some rain, again, because of the porch, we still enjoyed being outside. The short walk with only a few steps to the beach was wonderful! It is a small house and tight spaces in the bedrooms, but for just the three of us, it was ideal. This house is hands down one our favorites! We hope to stay here again.

Unfortunately, my experience at this property did not align with the description provided in the listing. The home was advertised as recently renovated, but the condition suggested otherwise.•Mold and odor: The house had a very strong musty/mold smell that seemed to be masked with air fresheners rather than properly addressed. So much so it left me with some breathing issues •Cleanliness and pests: Overall cleanliness was below standard, with visible dirt and grime. We also encountered ants in our food, which was a major concern.•Flooring issues: Several areas of the flooring felt soft and unstable. The section leading from the larger bedroom into the bathroom sank noticeably when stepped on, and at one point caught my shoe and caused me to trip. This felt unsafe and in need of urgent repair.•Accuracy of listing: Given these issues, the description of the property as “recently renovated” was misleading.I believe the property could be a nice rental with attention to deep cleaning, mold remediation, and structural repairs, but in its current state, it does not provide the safe or comfortable experience for guests.

We absolutely loved our stay! Quiet and an amazing beach spot.

didn’t stay here because no washer and dryer was at another location through Lewis Realty

We were pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of this sweet surf side cottage.

House in perfect spot

Needs some Maintenance

My husband and I have an incredible time at this spot! Everything was clean to satisfaction, awesome deck area, icy AC units, and the best view. Huge TV was nice on our 1 rainy day. The only issue (which I doubt is even preventable) is our parking area under the house flooding up about a foot and almost getting in the cars. Luckily we saw and were able to move the cars/pay to park across the street. Overall great stay and would definitely recommend

This review is about the location we stayed in, not the one originally booked. The house that we reserved was going to be remodeled during our stay. The agency contacted us and gave us a choice of 3 other houses that were available and asked if we would mind switching to one of them. We did and were very happy with our choice.

The little cottage was perfect in location, size and comfort,
