Wonderful property! We would stay again! Great beach access and had all the necessary items needed to enjoy our stay. The furniture is older and needs updating but really didn’t use it much with the beach being to reason to be there. Tv is not a smart tv so no NFL on Thursday. Great screened in porch. Highly recommend the property and look forward to staying again!

Beautiful location
Topsail is such a beautiful place! This house was great! The screened in porch was just perfect. We had everything we needed for our stay. I did feel as if the home had not had a “deep” cleaning in a while. There was lots of dust on the shelves and lots of dirt behind where the patio seat cushions were stored. Just little things. The only major issues was my 1 year old found a pill on the floor the cleaning crew missed! So scary to see your child about to put a strange orange pill in their mouth!! But overall the house was nice.

We really enjoyed the Blue Crab!
We had a great visit and were delightfully surprised to find kids and toys, chairs and umbrellas to use on the beach! The location is great and we truly had a great time. One thing to note so you don’t blow by the house like we did, the blue crab is actually grey! :)

Blue Crab Escape
The property was in a great location and access to the beach was great. The size of the bedrooms and sleeping worked well for our party of 8 but the main living space was a little tight. There was limited space for watching tv and just catching up plus an update on the furniture is needed. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes, pots, pans etc. but lacking the basic that I have had on every other rental like salt and pepper, etc. The beach was amazing and the acvess was unbeatable. You really had a lot of space because the beach was not overcrowded.They had all your needs for the beach which was great but more detail about this in posting would have been nice because it would have saved some of our packing. The location to grocery stores, restaurants was great and within 15 mins. Overall, we would stay again! Thank you for an memorable family vacation.
