Worn and Tired

We rented Top Notch beach house for a wedding weekend. The house furnishings are well worn and dated. The whole house needs updating and a deep cleaning. Showers are stained and shower curtains are dirty. Mattresses are all old and in need of replacing. The entire house smelled of bacon grease (I guess courtesy of last guest.) The refrigerator and freezer greeted you with a strong fish smell every time it was opened despite lots of baking soda. The outdoor shower does not drain and created a small pond between the carport and back stairs. The grill was rusty. The ocean views from the back porch are fantastic and access to the beach is very convenient.

Beautiful and very comfortable house

Great location on the beach and easy to get to. Very nice interior, and fully furnished for guests -- even storage containers and lots of pots and pans. And even noticed highchair and portable crib. Not needed for us, but nice to see them there. Kitchen easy to work in and plenty of room for others to hang around. All the bedrooms very comfortable. We stayed on top floor and appreciated having the entire floor including bathroom for ourselves -- in winter it was very comfortable, not too hot and not cold. Nothing to complain about. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Beachfront property!

Fantastic property, great communication from the Owner throughout. The house is in a quiet side neighborhood with direct, private beach access (ocean-side) but also only a short drive to supermarket/stores. Beautiful views of the ocean from multiple balconies on each level of the house. Every bedroom/bathroom/shower was very comfortable. A/C works great, Wi-Fi was strong, kitchen was expansive and fully functional with all of the cooking/serving items we needed including a charcoal grill outside. The house is well-apportioned with std beach items (chairs/umbrellas, etc). No complaints whatsoever, it literally had everything we needed or wanted.

Great beach getaway

Great beach house for a group of friends to spend a long weekend enjoying some time at the beach. Perfect setup for four couples to have their own rooms. Kitchen was well stocked for making big group meals. Easily enough parking for 4 vehicles.

Wonderful home on the ocean

Our family had a wonderful time here. Our group included two grandparents, a daughter and son-in-law and three grandsons. Everyone enjoyed our stay. The host was extremely responsive to every question posed. The fact that the house is a duplex posed no problem at all. There was a large family next to us that we hardly knew were there. We’d love to return.

Great location, perfect for families

We had 9 people (5 adults and 4 teens). Plenty of room for everyone. Beach front is awesome. The beach dune was a little tough for Grandma to walk over but manageable. The water was beautiful green and crystal clear. Well stocked beach chairs, boogey boards, etc. Five minute drive to restaurants and shopping. Staff at all stores and restaurants were very friendly...food everywhere was great. The house is well stocked in the kitchen but the house could use a little TLC (loose door knobs, needs interior painted, rusty shower rods). That being said, we enjoyed it and would stay there again.
