The cottage is in a fantastic location, close to the park, missiles and more museum, restaurants, beach, etc. We loved the sound views and large yard. The listing was accurate, it is a cottage with old time charm. It was clean and suited our needs. It is a little worn and could benefit from more maintenance and TLC. For example, there is a considerable amount of ceiling mold in the main bathroom, and the handle to switch just to fill the tub vs shower wasn’t working, hvac air filter could be replaced, some ceiling plaster flaked off in one of the bedrooms, and the cleaners could at the beginning of the season wipe the back of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets with bleach to address mildew, etc. The house might benefit from a dehumidifier. There were no additional trash bags so I suggest future renters bring their own. Overall, the cottage was good and the location felt like you were in the middle of everything and it was easy to walk everywhere. Grateful for a lovely week at Topsail!

Fun Topsail House

Overall, enjoyed the stay. It's close to the beach, has a fenced-in yard, decently-equipped kitchen, lots of sitting areas, fast internet, and a cool roof deck. Surrounding area was a bit unsightly, but not a big deal.

Great for dogs

We really enjoyed our stay here. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dogs. We usually stay a bit closer to the beach, but the location was nice and quiet and not having to walk the dogs every time they needed to go out certainly made up for the fact that we had to walk 2 blocks to the beach. We will likely be back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Myers Myers Realty, Inc in Surf City, NC

Host profile image

Keith and I are full time residents of Topsail Beach and active in the community. We feel passionate about all this island has to offer during every season. I am a licensed Realtor and property manager, and have been selling real estate for the past 30 years. If you are looking for real estate in our area, I am happy to help you find your own happy place.

Keith is active in the Topsail Beach community, as well as sits on town boards, and enjoys boating & fishing. Our sons have been active in the Topsail Beach fire department and live close by with their families on the mainland.

My two passions are enjoying the salt air & sand with a beautiful day on the beach with friends and my chihuahuas Lily & Tinsel, and riding & showing my walking horses in gaited dressage. Combining the two for a beach horseback ride during the off-season (October to March) is what makes this island so special to me. Coming up over the dune on my horse for a south-end beach ride with friends never gets old. If we are not on the island, we are probably at the farm on the mainland. Topsail Island is an amazing place, from the sound to the ocean, it is my happy place and I hope it becomes yours too.

Why they chose this property

Keith grew up coming to the area as a small child and introduced me to the island. I have loved our little beach cottage, and the location in the middle of town, from the day we found it. We were able to visit often enough that we made many good friends and new "family" here and watched our children grow up with other children who visited and lived on the island. Keith and I have always had dogs, and bringing them on our vacations is part of our lifestyle. We wanted to share that opportunity with others, since so many people have fur babies that are an important part of their lives.

What makes this property unique

Pet friendly! We travel with our dogs, from horse shows nationally, to New Orleans, to the Florida Keys, our chihuahuas come with us. Finding safe, pet friendly, affordable places to stay is always part of our planning and not always easy to find. I wanted to share that opportunity with other responsible pet owners so that they can bring their dogs with them on vacation. Having finished up our first vacation rental season 2017, I have to say that pet guests are the best! I couldn't have asked for nicer, more caring guests in our cottage, and I hope you all come back in 2018.
