The view is beautiful. There is nothing in your back view of the ocean, the back deck withall the chairs is so cozy too. My fur babies had a great time. This property is layed out beautifully. It clean and has everything you need except your clothes. I will definitely be requesting this house for my next stay at Top sail beach.

Nice place at the beach

This was a nice place to stay. It was nice that it was two floors instead of three, reducing the number of stairs to be climbed to the living area. Beach access was difficult because of sand up over the walkway, but we managed. Kitchen was very well appointed.

Can’t beat the view

Location, location, location! We throughly enjoyed our stay and would rebook should we be back in the area again to visit our kids. While the home could use some improvements and amenities do not hesitate to book this home if you are looking to enjoy the beach steps from the back porch. In comparison to other homes in the area this is a steal!

Overall very nice house with great access, not great cleaners

The house was very well equipped for our family vacation. Everything provided to make it feel like home away from home. However, not great Vacasa experience. House was not cleaned very well at check-in and no remedy was offered for several days after we had already cleaned and washed sheets ourselves. Not what you want to be doing on vacation!

It is fine

It is fine. It isn't fancy but does what it needs to do. There are minor cosmetic issues throughout. The downstairs shower is very small. It has plenty of beds. The beach isn't crowded because there is no public access close by, which is really nice. We had a fun stay overall.

Location. Location. Location.

Incredible location. The home is older so bathrooms are small and the water heater can only handle one shower at a time. The kitchen is stocked well. The views are amazing. The house could use some TLC but it was a great vacation as we spend our days on the beach.

Could have been perfect…

We loved the location. There were an infestation of gnats, they were in the kitchen, in the bathrooms, in the bedrooms which was very bothersome when eating and we see gnats landing on our food. If this problem could be fixed, we would love to stay there again.

AMAZING

This home was practically perfect for our family vacation in Topsail. Our family has been vacationing here for decades and we have stayed in dozens of different homes. This was one of my favorites by far. It is an older home, but lovingly maintained. Because of its age, there are far fewer stairs (both inside and out) than the newer homes on stilts. There was plenty of room for our family of 11 and the table was even large enough to accommodate everyone - which is shockingly unusual. The location is fantastic. Close to town but far enough from any public beach access. I rarely book a house twice in Topsail, but I would easily book this one every year.
