Our stay

It was really nice. Two things though. Dishes were still in dishwasher. They were clean. I put them away. Secondly, the living room floor was a bit unclean. Our small dog found two hard crackers with garlic on them and a popsicle stick. I think they were at the edge of the front of the couchs.Otherwise, everything was good.

Great Location

We’ve been coming to Topsail for years as a family and typically stay further south. The location of this property could not have been better. Essentially oceanfront as it’s only 20ish steps to the beach from the front door. Ability to be anywhere on the island or across the bridge in 5 minutes or less. This would be a great stay for bike riding but our kids are too young for that. Property was clean and well appointed with kitchen utensils, etc. Washer and dryer work well although a few of our items came away with tiny rust stains that we’ll have to work on at home but I’m sure will come out. Dishwasher worked great and was quiet. We would recommend this to any family considering staying in Surf City.

Wonderful Stay at the Breezeway Shores

We enjoyed our recent stay at The Breezeway Shores. The unit was very clean and conveniently located. We particularly appreciated the 1pm check in time and the close proximity of the beach access. The host was very responsive to questions.

Great Experience

Our family loved staying here. We love that the townhome is right at the beach and we don’t have to cross a road with small children to get to the sand. All rooms have tvs with WiFi connection. The kids loved that. Will stay here again.

Everything we needed.

This unit had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped, beach chairs and umbrellas were very appreciated (even though we had brought our own). Beds were comfy. The dog crate, bowls and baby gates were very helpful also so we didn’t have to bring our own.

Beautiful Location, could have been in better condition when we arrived

Love pulling into our rental. When we began moving our stuff in it was apparent the unit was not ready for us to be there. There were serious issues with the cleanliness of the property. I was extremely taken back as all reviews of the owner in the past were great. The cleaning crew was called back out the next day and after they left I felt the unit was much better. The owner was responsive and seemed apologetic however we burned almost an entire day between cleaning when we got there and then needing to essentially repack our stuff for the cleaning people to come back. I feel the owner made an attempt to make it right with us by refunding the cleaning fee however I am not satisfied with the response when I expressed what I felt was a reasonable request. I will definitely be traveling back to Topsail, however I will not be staying in these units again.

Great Stay in Surf City

The only thing that would have made our trip better was more time at the beach! :) Our family (3 adults, 2 kids) had a fabulous week in Ted's home! The location was amazing...close to all the action yet right on the beach. Surf City is a great little town that boosts all kinds of amenities without the crazy crowds of other beach destinations. Ted's home was exactly as pictured although I would say it was much more spacious in person. You really cannot beat the location - literal steps from the beach. This unit had an outstanding view of the beach from both the balcony and bedroom. We had everything we needed for our trip with a well stocked kitchen and the most comfortable beds I've slept in (more comfortable than my own). While we were not able to bring our pup on this trip, the unit and beach are dog friendly, which is part of the reason we chose to vacation in Surf City. Overall, this was a great, VERY relaxing week at the beach and we appreciate Ted's hospitality and opening his home to us. We are already trying to figure out when we can return!

About the host

Hosted by Alicea Villalobos

Host profile image
Welcome to The Breezeway Shores! My husband, Carlos, and I have been married since 2019 (dated since 2013). We are originally from Kansas, but have been living in North Carolina since 2017. Carlos owns a concrete contracting construction company. I am a night nurse in High Risk Postpartum (post-delivery nurse). We have a very energetic son named Alexander. He always keeps us on our toes! In our free time, you will catch us at the beach, our absolute favorite place to be.

Why they chose this property

Ever since we moved to the east coast, we were always trying to find time to go to the beach. Out of all the beaches we go to, this area has been our go-to spot. We love the beautiful view of the ocean. There's nothing like crossing the bridge into Surf City and feeling the beachtown vibes!

What makes this property unique

It has always been our dream to one day own a beach house. When we found this property, we immediately fell in love with it! It may not be the definition of a beach front, but it is pretty darn close! We love that you don't have to cross a busy intersection to get to the beach. The beach house has its own private access to the beach. The convenience of the location allows you to set up your personal spot on the beach and be able to go back into the townhome to grab a bite to eat. This townhome has a deck, which gives you a great view of the ocean. Listening to the ocean has such calming effects. This is a great location that is within walking distance to many restaurants in Surf City.
