Awesome beach vacay near Topsail

We loved everything. We were especially impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was with cookware. Also, really enjoyed bacci ball. The non-sun people loved being able to sit on the deck and see the ocean. I didn't read the part about needing linens until we were an hour away from the house, and Ingrid hooked me up with Sweet Dreams Linens who were super easy to work with and fast! The location is perfect. We booked for next year on the way home!

Doesn’t get better than this!

It doesn’t get better than this rental home. And home is how it felt. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need on vacation, expansive spaces, beautifully decorated and superbly comfortable inside and out. The view is incomparable! We saw dolphins and a few reef sharks during the day and starred at the stars at night. The hosts are as good as it gets. They were incredibly thoughtful in helping us kick start two birthday celebrations, making for an outstanding experience from beginning to end. We are already planning a trip back!

Great house, great homeowners!

This house worked great for our family. Great beach location. Had an issue with the internet and the homeowners had the internet company at the house that day for repairs and delivered a new router to the house that evening. Very pleased with their quick response time! House was clean and well maintained. Elevator was very helpful for loading and unloading groceries and suitcases. Loved the high chairs on the deck.

Perfect for a big family

Our stay was fantastic. The property was clean and extremely well equipped. Although sheets and towels were not provided, there were plenty of blankets and pillows. The beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was supplied with good quality pots and pans and a great selection of implements and really anything else you could need. Although the weather was chilly while we were there, we did see many items that would make for fun at the beach. There were also lots of games, books, etc to keep an array of ages occupied. The location right at the beach with the majestic Atlantic in your back yard absolutely cannot be beat. We felt quite safe in the area, as well, and grocery stores are a short drive away. In short, I highly recommend a stay here!!

Our 2nd year at Flip Floppin’

We loved this house and location so much that we rebooked this year and we’re just as happy. To begin, working with the owners is a breeze. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner. They were accommodating and friendly. The layout of the house was perfect for our family and it was well stocked with items. We didn’t have to bring or rent umbrellas or chairs because they had them (and brand new nice ones too!). It was nice to not have to pack items for the baby like a high chair or pack and play because it was provided. The house is well kept. Newer amenities. Rooms are large and bright. In two years we haven’t been able to find a negative to this home. Thank you Kathy and Sean for another beautiful week at your home.

Perfectly located house on the beach that was very clean and quiet!

We stayed in November 2021 for five days. We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was in a perfect location: right on the beach in a quieter part of the area, with no house in the lot directly to one side because it was a public beach access, so there was extra privacy because of that. The house was exactly as it was described and shown in the photos. It was very clean and perfectly maintained, with amazingly views. There were beach supplies on hand, a well-stocked kitchen, the bed was comfortable, the wifi worked well, and Netflix was ready on the main TV. Ingrid was an awesome host who checked in on us to make sure that everything was fine. She was very responsive every time we asked a question, and she is very professional and very friendly. We had no problems at all during our stay. We thank you for being so very accommodating to us. Everything was perfect and we will never forget our stay! We definitely hope to come back here again!

Relaxing

NOTE to future guests!! This listing does NOT include Sheets for the Beds or Towels!!!! I did not notice this when I reserved it and I thinks it's a very important detail. We had to go out late at night to buy these items and that was Expensive. Add this to your budget if you stay here. The house was great, the view of being on the Ocean is Amazing! Owner was nice in communication. Bedroom views are beautiful. Chairs on the deck are Perfect for seeing the view!! Parking area good. I would stay here again...the only downside is not providing towels/sheets. I don't think the blankets provided are washed in between guests because you have to make the beds with them prior to leaving. Kitchen is fully equipped. Overall experience with this house was great.

About the host

Hosted by Ingrid

Host profile image
Our blended family of 8 wanted to find a place where we can reconnect, share some laughs and make some awesome memories. We found "Sea The View" in Surf City this year (2020) and fell in love the moment we saw the view.... The prior owners took amazing care of this property and every review was better than the next. Our goal is to meet up & use the property a few weeks a year (since we live in different states), yet mostly share the house with other families who are looking for a rental / vacation home to get away.

Jeffrey and I have 6 kids ranging from the ages of 17 - 29 yrs. Most of the kids are in some stage of education from two seniors in high school, college & law school. The kids live everywhere from Florida to North Carolina to Maine. Its a rarity for us to get together so we are hoping this 1/2 way point will be a great addition to family gatherings.

Thank you for checking out the house! We are looking forward to having you here. CHEERS - Ingrid & Jeffrey
