Great house and location

The property was more spacious and much prettier in person. The view was amazing and there’s a huge deck to enjoy it from. The location in Topsail was great. Would highly recommend this property. Nick was always fast to respond with questions I had before I booked it.

Beautiful Location

Nick's place is nice and roomy and the deck and ocean view are a slice of heaven. Only improvement I can recommend is some new pillows! Thanks for a great week.

GREAT! HOUSE!!!

Sand in Your Toes was beyond our expectations. The house was perfect for our family of eight. We cook a lot and the kitchen had everything we needed. It is a quick walk to the beach for ferrying chairs and umbrellas. The porch was very comfortable with both shade and sun. Well, like I stated, an excellent beach house. Nick and Beth communicated with essential information and were very accommodating. We will definitely stay again. Sherry

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Our stay was cut short by Hurricane Dorian. The property was just as pictured. We had 3 couples and 4 children. Lots of room to spread out with privacy for everyone. The master is very spacious with a huge closet area that was perfect for a pac-n-play or crib. Beach was beautiful and there were plenty of comfortable chairs on the deck. Kitchen had everything we needed and was very well stocked. We also especially liked the low deck and felt the house was very child friendly. Nothing bad to say about this house- I would stay here again! (minus the hurricane)

Can’t see much of the beach from the deck. Fairly long hike over two dunes to the water. Not for people with walking disabilities.

Very relaxing home!

This property is laid out perfectly! We were able to have wonderful dinners as a family, put together puzzles on another table, play games in the garage, fish right off the sand, and the gates allowed our pup to enjoy the porch also. Owner was responsive. No issues and everything was exactly as described, if not much better!

Great home for the week

We loved our week at Topsail Beach, and this was a great home for our group. The layout of the home is convenient and comfortable. We also appreciated the abundant kitchen amenities. Nick was great to work with, and we enjoyed his recommendations, as this was our first visit to Topsail. We highly recommend this home.

Beautiful home and great location

We had a great stay. The home is beautiful and very spacious. The deck is the perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the ocean view We love the south end of the island, the location was perfect. It was also nice having the large parking area.

A Little Piece of Heaven

We absolutely loved the house, especially the views and the access to our own private beach. The house was well equipped, with plenty of space and the ocean views were just breath taking. We spent our mornings on the back deck enjoying our coffee and the sunrise and in the evenings gazing at the moon and stars while listening to the waves crash against the shore. Very peaceful and relaxing in a quiet area of the island. Enjoyed every second of our quality time and the precious moments we got to spend with our Marine. We look forward to returning.

Great location on Topsail with wide beaches

We enjoyed that the house was situated in an area with a wide beach and few visitors. No need to worry about overcrowding and plenty of room for the kids to play. The deck was large with plenty of shade so you could enjoy the sunsets while sitting and relaxing. Another nice feature was that the air conditioning worked really well (we stayed the beginning of June) and we have had issues in the past at other rentals. Elevator worked well and this was a plus. House was well stocked, the only negative is that some minor updating and repairs should be addressed. Will stay again

Perfect beach hang

Our family enjoyed a week long stay at the beach and the house was perfect! We loved the many windows with views straight to the ocean and the boardwalk with shower to wash off the sand before heading inside. The property has nice plant barriers to increase privacy. Overall everyone loved it

Cozy home with perfect location

We loved this vacation spot. TopSail is a favorite of ours and this home was a perfect match for us. Plenty of room and we loved the covered deck. Easy access to the beach and we loved walking and riding our bikes through the neighborhood across the street. House was very clean and plenty of kitchen tools to satisfied our cooking needs. The owner was super friendly and easy to work with. We loved every moment!

Overall, a great time was had by all.

Only negative was the First Impression. The house looked as expected but the yard was overgrown and front door paint was peeling and gave a negative impression to begin with. These 2 small things if corrected would make all the difference ! Only other suggestion: replace kitchen flooring as had a seam that had pulled apart in middle of the floor. Know it's hard to keep everything perfect when you are renting, but this is such a great cottage in every way and I will be happy to rent again. Nick, you were a joy to work with. I hesitated saying this as you were so nice. Thanks for letting us rent this wonderful house, Gay Eatman

A Very Nice Week at the Beach

We had a wonderful stay at this house with our extended family last week. So great to be able to walk right off the back deck and down a few steps to the sand! For those looking for an updated and stylish home, be aware that this is not it, as the furnishings, fixtures, flooring, windows and decor are all a bit old and worn. That said, the house is huge, comfortable, and right on the beach. Nick the owner was great to deal with, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Comfortable with unbeatable views!

We had a great time at this home - one family with three kids and one dog, plus our parents and grandparents. The views of the ocean from the house (inside and from the seaside porch) were beautiful. The mattresses were firm and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked. While the house wasn't spotless when we arrived (cruddy sink, dirty dishes in the cabinets, debris in the dresser drawers), and the tub in the main bathroom didn't drain well, it wasn't too bad. The layout of the house worked very well for us, and the elevator was a big plus for grandma's mobility issues. The sand toys and beach chairs provided were a nice touch also! Overall, if you want a decent house on the beach but you're on a budget, this house is a winner! We would book this home again for our summer vacation.

Another great vacation!

We love this house - location is perfect for us. We’ve stayed here exclusively for several years - it is fully furnished with all one needs for a home away from home. The owner is responsive to every request and continually updates the property. An “A” property in an “A” location on an “A” beach!!!

All about the beach!

We had a wonderful week! The house was very clean and the location, views are hard to beat. Topsail is a quiet beautiful beach~just what we were looking for! We did use the linen/towel rental service Nick suggested and it was efficient and easy! The house has plenty of room, the kitchen well appointed. Great way to end the summer!
