The BEST!

Our family of 5 absolutely loved our stay at the big easy! The home is stunning and the pictures don’t do it justice. The house has everything you need for daily life. The walk to the beach is beyond quick too! The decks are the most relaxing spots to hang on (the views and the sounds of the ocean). We had such a great trip!

The Perfect Thanksgiving

We stayed for 4 nights to get away for a Holiday Break and The Big Easy was perfect! The owner and housekeeper were great communicators and the home was exactly as advertised. We loved the porch! Even with a chill in the air, still spent a good bit of time outside because it was so comfy. This rental allowed for family, furry friends, food, fun and football = The Perfect Thanksgiving!!

family beach trip

This house perfectly accommodated our family beach trip with my daughters and their families at the season of life we are in. Both of my daughters have babies, and we were able to work out sleeping arrangements that suited everyone in this house. The upstairs is spacious and so is the bedroom. It is large enough to accommodate an air mattress and pack ‘n play so they could all be in the same room with their younger children at night. My other daughter was also able to fit the crib provided by the owner and sleep comfortably with her baby in one of the downstairs bedrooms. It is conveniently located near a park too! The beds are comfortable. No one woke up complaining about the mattresses in the morning, which is a common occurrence in the previous beach houses we have stayed in. We all enjoyed the beautiful kitchen, views from the top deck and lounging in the sun. The owner purchased quality chairs and furniture for both decks. It is so nice not having to remember to bring things like soap, shampoo, and towels on our beach trip. Even the outdoor shower was stocked with everything you need and ready to go! We had a wonderful experience at the Big Easy and hope to have more soon!

Gorgeous house with everything you need

This house is gorgeous and is literally steps from the beach. It's close to grocery stores, restaurants and coffee shops as well. We have ample space for a family of 8. It was unfortunate that Hurricane Derby was in town the same time we were there and we weren't able to spend as much time on the beach as we would like. But because of the proximity to the beach, we were able to run to the beach quickly and played for an hour or two before the rain poured again. Love the layout of the house. Nice kitchen with everything you need and the top floor was really nice. All of us enjoyed hanging out in the covered middle deck. The outdoor shower with door was nice to get all the sand off before going into the house. Would love to come back to topsail again and stay here again.

The Most Relaxing Week

Days before we arrived, Jody reached out to us regarding an impending tropical storm. She was extremely communicative and went above & beyond to accommodate us. Thanks to her we made it down to Surf City safely and found everything about the property to be in excellent condition. It was exactly as described: clean, fully equipped, and charming. Our week at the beach was completely relaxing. Easy St was quiet yet centrally located so that we were able to walk out the door and onto the beach in less than two minutes, and we were able to rent bikes and ride them into town every morning for breakfast. If you have high standards for location, cleanliness, and great communication then “The Big Easy” is for you. It’s a wonderful home to rent. We loved it!

Great house for a multi family, multi generational trip!

Our group was 2 senior citizens, 2 sets of parents, and three children and this house was perfect for us! The walk to the beach took all of 2 mins and it is right near a handicap accessible beach entrance which made it easy to bring all our supplies in the wagon that was provided. Having two living areas was super convenient and the view from the top deck was gorgeous. About a 5 min drive to all the restaurants and shops in surf city and quick to get to from the bridge. Both the owner and property manager were very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a great time and hope to be back soon!

A perfect family property with everything we needed!

This was a great house for our family. All of the conveniences were there and everything was perfectly clean. There was an abundant supply of beach items, including chairs, toys, towels and umbrellas. The house has two large gathering rooms, one on the main floor with the kitchen, and another upstairs. Both have big screen TVs and comfortable sofas. Overall it was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, including a few things we forgot to bring. It helped us save a trip to the grocery store for a couple of forgotten items. We had 3 generations in the house and everything we needed was available, including a crib and a baby gate. There are two great porches, one on the main floor with shade, and the upper porch with the clearest view of the ocean. Another important quality was the immediate responses we got for any questions we had. It really helped us understand what we needed to know in advance and during the stay.

Excellent Beach Rental Home!

We recently had the pleasure of enjoying a second stay at "The Big Easy," a delightful beach rental that has quickly become our go-to spot for a tranquil getaway. Situated just across from the beach, its location is unbeatable, offering the serenity of the ocean at your doorstep. What's more, it's conveniently located a mere 5 minutes from downtown Surf City, allowing easy access to a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. One of the highlights of "The Big Easy" is undoubtedly the hospitality provided by Jody, the host. Jody's attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for guests' comfort make the stay exceptionally pleasant. It's rare to encounter such a dedicated host, and Jody certainly stands out as one of the best we've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. The property itself boasts comfortable beds ensuring a good night's sleep. The neighborhood's quiet ambiance contributes to the peaceful experience, allowing you to fully relax and unwind. Whether you're seeking a serene retreat or an adventurous beach holiday, "The Big Easy" offers the perfect balance of comfort, location, and exceptional hosting. Our family and pups are already looking forward to our next stay!

A White (sandy) Christmas!

My husband, sister, parents and in laws stayed at The Big Easy and it was absolutely perfect. The house is around the corner from a public beach access point, and has ocean views from both decks. The layout is spacious and gave us all enough breathing room to have our own spaces while also having large public rooms to come together in. We had one of the most relaxing holidays we have had in a while just walking on the beach, cooking in the massive kitchen and doing puzzles and games at night. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. All the beds were comfortable and the upstairs additional living space was so nice to have; we had some incredible sunrises and dolphin spotting from the upper deck. We will be back!
