Best House on Topsail Island

This house is as beautiful as the pictures show. Very well stocked kitchen. Very clean. Beautiful beach. We have been coming to Topsail since 1979. With our growing family we continue to need a bigger and bigger house. This house exceeded our expectations.

Great Birthday and Family Reunion

We had 14 adults and 4 kids stay at this house. We loved the house set up and the pool table and movie theater were great for all. The location was within walking distance of many restaurants and the view was just incredible. Guests are already talking about rebooking Big Blue in the future. A sentimental stuffed animal was left behind, but the cleaning company found it and it is being mailed to us. We had an excellent time. I highly recommended Big Blue.

Thanksgiving 2023

Amazing week - weather was great. Location is amazing - everything you need is walking distance. Dining, bars, grocery, the pier, coffee, book shops… Awesome house. The theatre room got lots of use by our group. It was too cold for the pools, but the hot tub was nice. I loved the layout - 10 bedrooms - all with their own bathroom! Right on the beach. Alena the property manager was very helpful and helped us arrange for a mid week cleaning as friends left and family arrived for turkey day.
