Great location and owner!

We chose “Island Time” for our now-annual after-Thanksgiving trip to Topsail Island and had a lovely 4-day stay. We really enjoy the island at this time of the year when the crowds are gone and access and traffic are hassle-free. We had another good time this year and loved our stay in this property. It’s in a great location right on the ocean and not far at all from the stores, restaurants and amenities of Surf City. The home itself was clean and equipped as “advertised.” Our host, Lee Ayers, was friendly, prompt, helpful, and thorough in his communication and handling of our stay. We have nary a contrary word to say on all of the above. That all said, I must note that the property is getting a bit long in the tooth and is in need of some updates and remodeling (on that score, it’s apparent the owner is aware of these needs and is addressing them—even during our stay a contractor was there taking measurements for replacement of the house’s deck and porches). On the inside, besides some needed cosmetic touch-ups, it seemed that the home’s windows and sliders are past their prime: the heating and AC system battled to keep the house at appropriate temperatures. There is a pretty noticeable temperature difference between the two levels. Still, we have no regrets at all in staying here and any minor inconvenience was more than outweighed by the home’s location, features, and caring and competent management. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here on our next trip.

Sitting on the shore

Such a terrific location. The house was very nice, and the host easy to communicate with. One thing should be noted on the description. You have to go through another bedroom to get to the master. This is rather awkward when you're the early riser and have to pass through that room to get downstairs. We wondered if that room wasn't originally a sitting area for the master. P.S. If that room is kept as a bedroom, it would be better to have bunkbeds. That way a couple of kids in there wouldn't be as disruptive. That being said, we have rebooked for next year!

Pleasant

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was small but cozy. We loved how close it was to the water.

Great Location

Loved the location but was very disappointed that the house was not clean. Carpet was very dirty especially on stairs. Oven was dirty, fans had dust and dirt hanging from blades and the showers had hair and lots of sand in them. There was a short in the wiring of the light in the upstairs bedroom. The sliding door to deck was very hard to open and close and locks do not work on these doors. We enjoyed the ocean and the weather but all the things i have listed were a great disappointment for the price we paid for the week. One sister was unable to join us.
