Beach Time
We loved the access to the beach & minimum steps. Also loved being able to have our dog with us. The house is older and could use some updates.

Gresham is GREAT1
Beach vacation of our dreams. We love the Gresham. We've stayed before and it feels like being wrapped up in a warm cozy atmosphere, like home. Thank you Greshams. Keep it special!
We enjoyed getting up to watch the sunrise and being able to walk out on the cool sand to find a very empty beach. We loved being beach front for the convenience of food, beverages and bathroom. That made it possible to stay on the beach all day.

Picture Perfect
Perfect stay for fall for some rest and relaxation. The home is clean and has all the necessary amenities. We had several warm days. Steps away from the beach. It’s the perfect spot

Simple
All you really need is the beach. Quaint restful spot good for a family of four. If you need fancy countertops and such- then choose otherwise. Beds were comfy. Shower was tiny so maybe nit best for for large people.

Plain, simple, efficient
My wife and I enjoyed our week at topsail Island. t weather was great. the house lacked a few amenities but was comfortable.
Great location but exterior of house needs updating
Inside was very clean. House needs more dishes, glasses etc. nice location on the beach, the exterior needs some major updating. For the price I would not rent again.
great beach access but house could use some tlc. appliances were new & bed comfortable but all doors needed replacing.

Lovely retro pine paneled cottage oasis oceanfront
I loved everything about this property stay. It met my expectations and more. The open kitchen is well equipped. Living room area very comfortable. I was impressed with fresh, clean and welcoming. It has a retro beach atmosphere with the pine paneled wood of the 50's and large windows to bring the sunshine in. It was perfect comfort for me and my Labrador. My best review is to say ..... I will definitely request to return to stay in this charming cottage on the beach.
Great beach access but needs updated bathroom including a larger shower. Website pictures need updated, not accurate view of dunes. Too many weeds outside. Decking should be renewed. Some loose electrical outlets. Thanks!

We loved everything about this place. I would rather stay in a vintage cottage with knotty pine interior over the new fancy places any day. Everything was clean, the beachy decor was cute, and so happy our dog was welcome to stay. Also having our own private beach access was wonderful! No complaints at all,as it was just what we were looking for. We will be back!

Retro-vibe
Cute cottage with a sweet retro vibe, though more rustic than we were used to: coffee cups and wine glasses, but no water tumblers, no linens ($75 if rented), make your own bed and strip your own bed, no dishwasher, shower 3 feet wide and deep. Could use a vacum for the carpets throughout (beach=sand). But overall a cosy stay for the hubs and I.
