Clean old and crusty…..cheap
Place was definitely clean when we got there. Cheap compared to other properties. Allowed dogs. Conveniently located across from the beach. Old, neglected, patched up. Furniture look like someone collected them randomly from thrift store, décor without any sense of coherence, patches of drywall ceiling, stained callings from moisture damage, probably leaking roof. Place just screams take care of me and I can be a gem, unfortunately looks like the company’s economics don’t see it that way. I enjoyed staying on Topsail because I have friends there and didn’t have to endure all this other than leaving my dogs and sleeping in it, I would never recommend this place to any of my friends because I would be ashamed of the crappy place this is. The only thing they get right is the fact the place was clean. So…. If you can overcome the negatives the convenience and clean state of it will do. It is definitely NOT 7 people property, 5 at best, 20 if you teenager and drunk and don’t care. They should be honest about it. Anyway, If I was desperate, maybe I would consider, but I am not and will be staying at better accommodation next year. I did enjoy the beach, the convenience, …… That’s about it.

Overflow
We rented this property only because it is walking distance to our house. All cooking and congregating was at our house. This house lacked toilet paper and some basics of the property which is embarrassing. If the owner can’t afford simple necessities like this they should sell the property

Liked: Communication
The house has bare minimum kitchen stuff, the furnitures were old and dirty, the noise from the road didn’t let us rest well any time day or night, the French door was broken and one of the outside chair was too. I will not recommend this house and we will not return. Also public beach access didn’t have doggy collection bins nor plastic to collect poop, so most of the dog owners left poop on the beach, city should look into it.

Great Relaxing Vacation
My fiancé and I really enjoyed this property with our dog! You could see the ocean from the deck and hear it at night. It was very peaceful, and the location was super close to the grocery store to pick up supplies when needed! It was an easy 2 second walk across the street to the beach which was nice! Only thing we didn’t know about was the lack of sheets, we did not notice in the description that we had to bring some. There was also no toilet paper or paper towels so make sure to bring some with you! Otherwise we very much enjoyed our stay! We will be booking again.

It was nicer than we expected
It was nicer than we expected and the pictures don’t do the location justice. Close to downtown area and only less than 10 minutes from the south sides nicer dining. The beds are not comfortable though and the master bedroom is NOT a queen butter rather a full size bad.
