The best family beach house

We loved everything. This was our first stay in Surf City but won’t be the last. The beach is nice and wide, even at high tide. And no high rises! Definitely a family orient beach.

We loved this property! Each bedroom has its own bathroom attached, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. There were cabinets full of games and puzzles. Separate sitting areas throughout the house to allow for people to hang out alone or all together. There were a couple things that are showing wear but overall one of the best homes we have stayed in and I will return!

Well equipped, fantastic place to stay!

The place felt like home…..anything we needed, we looked around and found. Never stayed at a rental beach home that supplied spices for stay-at-home cooking- simply loved this place. Only complaint I have is with VRBO- difficult to get anyone to answer the phones- Called multiple times on multiple days.

Shore sunsations

The kitchen was well stocked. The rooms/bathrooms were a nice size. The two decks were nice to have. The ice machine was a great item to have. The location to town was great. We liked how close to the beach the house was and how clean the beach was. The house was plenty large enough for 12 family members and 1 11 month old little guy. We would stay there again.

Everything you need!

Shore Sensation is the perfect beach house. A room for everyone. Great decks. A kitchen that has everything you might want. A large ice maker!! Game room and a large closet full of beach chairs, nets, boogie boards, etc. Vacasa responded to all our questions and check in and out were super simple. Great vacation!

A wonderful week at Topsail Beach

Shore Sensation has been our "go to" vacation home for many years, and this year was wonderful as usual. We always appreciate the direct beach access, and were glad that this is still the case after last year's hurricane damage; my wife and I saw several houses that sadly had no direct beach access on our morning beach walk. The home has been improved since our last visit, with a new elevator and new seat covers, but it was still the same beautiful home we have loved coming back to regularly.

Nice but needs some TLC

The upper deck facing the ocean needs new nails/hardware. Lots of rusted nails and split joists where nailed together that compromise its structural integrity- from a civil engineer. Great location. Beds were comfortable.

Christmas at the beach

Due to some mobility issues following surgery,my wife needed a elevator on the top floor for the week. We basically lived on the top floor for the week. More than met our needs. Will consider in the future.
