The space was perfect for our extended family. Furniture was well worn but obviously well loved by children and pets. Under furniture was not cleaned very well. Over all it served our needs.

Knot fade away was fabulous

We enjoyed everything about this place. We had an awesome time. Everything was clean and perfect for my family of 9. A storm rolled through and did some very minor damage and Access realty was on it asap. The location was perfect with a small walk to the beach. And the pool was a BIG plus.

Superb views!

This property was ideal for our family's beach trip to Topsail. A few comments - The house was as advertised minus a couple of cosmetic issues needing repair during our stay, but these were clearly communicated and we were not inconvenienced by this. Communication from property management was prompt and extremely helpful before and during our stay. Lastly, the location was great and the views were incredible. We especially enjoyed watching the storms come in over the intracoastal. Great property overall!

Cleanliness and something needs to be done with all the mud and standing water

The house was not very clean especially the rugs in living room, the couches and chairs were very dirty and in desperate need of cleaning. The refrigerator and kitchen smelled like crab meat. The plates and utensils were not clean. The kitchen however was very well stocked with cooking utensils and the location was great. The drive was was a desaster

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Mary. We are glad you enjoyed the location and found the kitchen well-stocked, but we are sorry to hear that other aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We apologize for the condition of the rugs, furniture, and kitchen. Your experience does not reflect our usual standards, and we will be reviewing this with our team to ensure these issues are addressed. Regarding the driveway, the timing of your stay coincided with a tropical storm, which unfortunately led to excessive water and mud. Given the storm and the rain that preceded it, we were unable to address the driveway until the water receded. We understand how this affected your experience, and we regret the inconvenience it caused. Thank you for your understanding during these challenging conditions. We appreciate your feedback and hope you were still able to enjoy your time on the island. -The Access Realty Team

Nice stay could be improved.

This rental is in an excellent location. It has a nicw elevator for traveleing with those persons with disabilities. Overlooks the sound for beautiful sunsets. Short walk to the beach. Rental company listing is misleading. Stares 4 pm entry on VRBO hut they sent an email the day(Thursday) before we were leaving (Friday) stating 4 pm - 6 pm nd they let us in at 5:56 pm. We drove around trying to find a place to be for 2 hours waiting for text. This was especially hard on my mother who has ALS and dementia. I told them this should be stated up front . They didnt seem to care at all. Stating that an email was sent 2 days prior on Thursday. I tried explaining that part of our party had already left because we were driving from 3 differe states. Drivewy was an absolute .us pit which is not thwir fault but would benwfit from gracel. Some furnishinga stined, ripped, or in disrepair but worked for our family. Mych I ld foy d vape and dirt in the sofa within the first 5 mins but we just avoided uaing the sofa bed. Linens were delivered as stated. House is stocked with everything necessary for an amazing vcation. Sliding doors stick and the off rhe kitchen wouldnt open like it wa soff track so we avoided that door. Pool is small but perfect temperature. Eveything you vould need for the beach is there. Beds were very comfy. Perfect space for a family getway but could benefit from some mild maintenance.. wmail 2 days b Sta

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful location, comfortable beds, and convenient amenities like the elevator at Knot Fade Away. We’re glad the home provided what you needed for a relaxing vacation. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you encountered during the check-in process, especially given your family’s specific needs. We understand how challenging it can be to wait after a long journey. Regarding the check-in window, we’d like to clarify that the check-in time between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM is standard for our properties. Unfortunately, VRBO’s system does not allow property managers to list a check-in range, so the 4:00 PM time shown on their platform can be misleading. However, we do our best to ensure our guests are informed of our policies and procedures as early as possible. In your case, we sent an email immediately after your booking was confirmed, outlining the check-in process. Please understand that all homes must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before we can provide access details to ensure the best experience possible for our guests. We appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of some furnishings and the driveway. We take these concerns seriously and will address them with our maintenance and housekeeping teams to ensure a better experience for future guests. Thank you again for your detailed feedback. We hope that, despite the challenges, you were able to create some special memories with your family during your stay. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
