What a magnificent place to spend a week with family and friends! Ginny, our host, was so wonderful to answer any questions we had and had the house perfect for us to arrive. The floor plan of the house has plenty of room for a large group to be together but also allows for privacy when you’re ready for a nap! The view is simply spectacular!

Family Trip to Topsail Beach

This house is amazing! We rented the property for a family vacation, and everyone was very pleased. The house was very well furnished and beds were really comfortable. We all enjoyed having only a short walk to the beach and sitting on one of the two large decks enjoying the spectacular view. The owner was quick to respond to all questions. We would definitely rent this property again on a return visit.

Great Family Vacay Stay

Great multi level home right on the beach, perfect for large groups. Kitchen has everything you need; bring your own paper supplies, soaps, and bedroom linens as they are not supplied. The host answers promptly and is very helpful. This area of NC coastline was quiet in September which was nice...but plenty of restaurants and stores around. The turtle rescue is very interesting too. I would definitely stay here again if I have a large multi family/ friend group to book for in the Topsail area!

Amazing house Amazing host!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family. The beds were wonderful, the living rooms were large and comfortable. The view from the decks was amazing and the hot tub was a great treat. All of the bathrooms were lovely and clean. We loved the spiral staircase and appreciated the elevator as well. The host was so patient and responsive. She checked in on us to make sure all was well. We felt truly taken care of! We loved every minute of the 10 days we spent. Thanks so very much!

Exceptional ocean front beach house

I was in charge of finding a beach rental for our family reunion. We needed 3 master suites and rooms for young adults and singles. And plenty of bathrooms. The WaveWatch Inn met all our criteria. The decor was beautiful, the kitchen was well-stocked, there were plenty of conversation areas as well as lots of deck chairs overlooking the surf. The elevator was so helpful transporting luggage and groceries, especially for my husband who was still healing from a broken leg! Everyone made a point to thank me for finding the PERFECT beach house.

Great property!

This property is excellent. The back decks are the highlight - 2 LARGE tiers of deck that are right on a great piece of beach. Plenty of chairs on the deck and a nice hot tub on the lower level. All of the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors face the ocean, which is a great view. The living room has a very large and comfortable couch. All of the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, cookware, etc. This is a great stay and we'd love to come again in the future. Ginny was great at responding to emails with questions. We thought that the elevator was broken over the weekend (it wasn't), but the maintenance man responded very quickly to our call. Excellent property!

Beautiful house and excellent owner

We stayed for approximately six days. Communication with the owner was quick and plentiful. We went with our family ages 13 to 47. Everything that we needed to know was available. The house is beautiful and spacious. The elevator was very convenient getting everything to the top floor. The beds were comfortable. Even though it was not the best weather while we were there, certainly kept ourselves busy with games and enjoyed the hot tub during this time. The deck is beautiful and every bedroom on the second and third floor have availability to the deck and the beautiful gorgeous view of the ocean. To hear the crashing waves all day and all night was such a exquisite experience. The beach is a very close distance and is not crowded at all. There is convenience north or south to eat at a variety of restaurants and we ate at Mac Daddys on our night out and the food was good. There is a grill in the garage that works well. The kitchen is fully stocked and then some. Bring your own paper towels. The bedrooms are very spacious and clean as is the whole house. Also, bring your own toilet paper. The TVs are run off of Amazon firesticks so having the online accounts of Netflix and Hulu proved convenient. Overall, this is a very beautiful house and very clean and comfortable. We’ve stayed at quite a variety of VRBO‘s over the years and with the location, quality of the house, excellent communication and convenience of the owner, this certainly is worth the value. We had more than enough space for nine people and likely you would have easily enough space for 11-12. Will certainly contact the owner when staying in this area again. Thank you Ginny.
