3 days in Heaven

Overall we had a fantastic time and the location was great. The management office responded quickly to issues. What you should consider when renting this property. You will need to bring your own amenities (soaps, shampoo's, toilet paper wouldn't hurt, trash bags, charcoal, matches/lighters, and utensils for grill). We left the lighter in the drawer next to the stove but it won't last long. There were a few issues where cleaning crew are taking shortcuts (such as the A/C air filter had not been replaced or cleaned all year as the dirt had built up to surpass the outer grate and the smoke alarm was inoperative) but the management responded quickly to correct these issues.

Perfect Multi-age Bachelorette Weekend!

We had an amazing time for my daughter's bachelorette weekend. This spot was ideal for enjoying the beach, games, and good food in the Topsail Beach Area. A highlight of our trip was a visit to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital. A few suggestions...Clean the fridge! (yuck) Replace the toilet seat so that it fits correctly on the toilet. Be sure to leave enough towels.

Topsail stay

The property was very comfortable, clean, and cozy. However, the refrigerator could have been updated to one which didn't appear to be covered in rust. The front and backyard had the appearance of not being mowed for several weeks as it was covered in tall weeds. We didn't use the backyard due to this. Despite these things the place was very comfortable.

Great time at a great beach house!

Had a great time at this spacious, beautiful and very clean beach house. We had a little bit of an issue getting the keypad to let us in at first, but the property manager was prompt in responding to us and we got in shortly after. Would definitely recommend staying here, we wanted to stay longer!!!
