An Unique Experience
First let me say the host, Justin was a very responsive nice person to communicate with. This property is truly unique. Every room is filled with antiques. My husband and I being in our late 60's could relate to the furnishings within the home. The home sits on a quiet street. We felt safe and secure in the neighborhood. It is about 2 miles from Topsail which is over a long bridge to the beach and ocean area. The home sits on an inlet area. We enjoyed the herons and egrets. The master bedroom was wonderful with quality oil paintings and probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. It was so comfy I didn't want to get out of it, lol. The kitchen had everything you'd need and room to prepare it. You could tell the place had a history. It started out as a mobile home and was added on to from both sides. With the many upgrades it was hard to tell. The outside porch/deck area had really nice furniture where I sat and played my guitar a couple of mornings. The firepit area down by the water was our favorite spot in the evenings. We'd watch the moon come up. It was truly lovely being so close to nature and the wildlife of the waterways. We loved the place and our stay, but to be fair in the review I need to mention two things. One was the neighbors yard light that was so bright you could hardly see the stars at night. The other were the windows. No screens, many didn't lock or close fully. I'm sure those upgrades will happen. I know windows are costly. :>)

Comfortable and quirky
Cute little quirky place! We had a great week. Owner was quick to respond with answers to questions. While the layout was a bit unusual, it worked. The new deck furniture was really appreciated. The kids loved being able to fish from the backyard.

Excellent stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect…close to the beach, stores, restaurants, and fun activities…yet also quiet and private. We loved having fishing equipment and the ability to fish from right in the backyard!

Fair
The property was as advertised. There are numerous minor maintenance issues such as door and sink fixtures were loose to falling off, holes in the screens or missing screens, broken windows, missing light fixtures, and loose boards on the back porch. A little TLC could resolve those issues. The biggest issue we had was a horrible smell of something dead as soon as we walked into the house, to find a dead, rotting crab beside the computer desk. There were also mice that ate anything left on the counters every night. The location is amazing as it is close to the beach but away from the crowds for quiet evenings. The yard and water access was nice. The beds are all very comfortable but the adjoining bedrooms were a little awkward. I would recommend this house if the issues were all corrected, but probably would not return myself.

Wonderful stay!!
The place was exactly as described. Very clean! There were a couple hiccups but after communicating (with quick response) with the owner they were quickly addressed!! Definitely recommend! Parts of the house however are not for the very tall! My husband (6’3”) had a hard time in the shower and kitchen but nothing that would keep us from ever booking a return visit! Really enjoyed being able to dish from our backyard!! Our family of four fit comfortably for the week with plenty of space to have some quiet time as well without feeling cramped on top of one another!!
