Enjoyed the Ocean View!

Very much enjoyed the ocean and bay views during sunsets. The beach was right there, and the best part was it felt very secluded and not a lot of people. The pool was great for after beach trips with washing in the outdoor shower with hot water. The house had tons of beach toys and floats for us to use. It was a rainy week but the house had plenty of board games for the times we couldn’t grab beach sunrays. Great stay!

This property checks all the boxes

The location is excellent, scenic and glorious, front and back. The trek to the beach involves crossing a two lane road with traffic that is usually light, so an easy trip. The house is as described and pictured. Everything was clean and in working order.

Great stay

Excellent location, construction next door was not an issue as it's nearly complete. Had to pay extra to heat the pool but it was worth it. Elevator works and there was a gas grill. Plenty of beds & bedrooms for our group of 4 adults and 6 kids. Kitchen was well stocked and checkout was a breeze.

The house gave our family of 14 plenty of space, beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked. The location of the house gave us the best of both worlds; ocean off the front porch, sound off the back! This also gave us front row seats to beautiful sunrises and sunsets! We would stay here again

Perfect family getaway!

Our family had a wonderful time here, with a little bit of something for everyone! The views of the ocean and sound were incredible. Kids loved the pool and access to the beach. Grandma loved the many relaxing sitting areas throughout the home. Dogs loved the fenced in yard. We all especially appreciated the elevator! Everything was clean and comfortable. We had everything we could need in this home away from home and hope to come back next year!

Sea and Sound Sandwich

This house was great overall and perfect for our family. Location to the beach was fantastic!! We had some issues with the pool getting clean and also had to deal with construction on the lot beside us. Dealing with Vacasa was painful but all in all the week was good.

Anniversary Trip

My parents were celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary by taking the whole family fishing. The house was spacious for our group and the location was great. I like the fact that every room did not have a TV which forces the family to enjoy each other. We even took family pictures at the house. The internet was a little spotty. Over all the home was beautiful, spacious and an ideal location.

Hi Kamara. Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that your family had a great time celebrating your parents' 46th wedding anniversary and that the house was spacious and well-suited for your group. It’s fantastic to know that the lack of TVs in every room encouraged family bonding and created lasting memories, including family pictures! I apologize for the spotty internet connection you experienced. Your feedback is valuable, and I will pass this along to our team to ensure we address any connectivity issues. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another memorable stay in the future!

July Family Vacation

Each summer our extended family vacation together in July at North Topsail. Sea and Sound by far was our favorite home on North Topsail. The views from both sides of the house are spectacular! We loved all the living space which is ideal for a large family with kids and teens. The pool was awesome after a full day at the beach. We did have some trouble with the 1st floor AC but both Vacasa and the homeowner worked to help remedy the situation. We are really looking forward to coming back in 2025!!

Perfect

We are locals and rented this house to accommodate for my family. Sea N Sound Sandwich is the name of the house and is nothing less than the perfect name. Location has amazing views. Has a pool and less than a minute walk over to the beach access. More than enough room for the amount of people we had stay at the house and what’s better than that? Being able to bring our pups along! Great space to hold a large group, has an extra fridge at the lower level, and thank goodness for that, because my family brought tons of food with them! Will recommend this place to family and friends. Will hopefully get a chance to rent and stay here again! Thanks for having us!

Surprise

The weather forecast predicted rain every day. We scrapped our golf plans and even left our golf clubs at home. Each member of our group of 15 brought his favorite game and jigsaw puzzle to occupy the sunless days. I even came with only one container of sunscreen lotion. What happened at this seven day stay at the beach? It didn't rain a drop. What a pleasant surprise! The cottage's cooking facilities were very adequate, so we cooked in enjoying French toast, shrimp and grits, beef tenderloin, fried okra, spaghetti pizza, corn on the cob and a new Italian dish. The pool and beach were widely used. Thanks for the memories ! T. Clark, Charlottesville, VA

Family

We had a great time together with family here for the first time. It was clean and neat and the elevator worked great as there are a lot of stairs and we had family members who definitely appreciated the added convenience. A suggestion I'd like to make is better instructions. It would have been nice if there was a binder or welcome booklet that explained step by step how to work the locks, and when garbage day is, or what to do with the garbage exactly, checklist for checkout instructions, etc. Also access to cleaning supplies like a vacuum, to make it easier to clean up here and there. Other than that, we had a wonderful vacation. Close proximity to the beach, more than enough room for our family, nice pool, great views from the ocean and the sound. We would definitely come back, and would book with you again. Thanks for a great stay!Alicia

The Perfect Home

This home had everything we needed; beach proximity, pool, sleeping space, family space. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen of any rental home we have stayed in. I cook the dinners, and let me tell you….cooking for 16 takes some creativity in a poorly stocked kitchen. No worries here. Our only issue was the elevator was broken. It made the trip versus difficult for the two seniors in our party. We are still waiting on the refund for that. We will definitely stay here again if the elevator issue is fixed.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 July 2023
Hi Deidre, thank you for your review, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We are very sorry you weren't able to use elevator. It is always our goal for our guests to be able to use everything the home has to offer. We hope that the refund that you were given has helped with some resolution of the issue you experienced. We hope to host you for another truly carefree and great vacation in the future!

Great location

Beach access is close and easy. Comfortable beds, this home easily accommodates a large group. Our inquiries were addressed quickly, although some answers were incorrect (we were told no iron or ironing board so we brought our own, but there was one there) Elevator wasn’t working which would have been a huge help with heavy coolers and bags. There is also no elevator access from ground level. Early check in was not permitted even though cleaning service was finished well over 1 1/2 hours earlier. Instructions on check out procedures weren’t clear. Text said leave sheets on beds, email said strip beds.
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Sept 2024
Thank you for your detailed review, Lori! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the close beach access and found the beds comfortable for your large group. It’s great to know that our team was responsive to your inquiries. We sincerely apologize for the incorrect information regarding the iron and ironing board, and we appreciate you bringing your own just in case. We will ensure that our team is updated to provide accurate information in the future. We also regret that the elevator was not functioning during your stay, as we understand how helpful it can be for transporting heavy items. Your feedback regarding the early check-in and checkout instructions is valuable, and we will work on clarifying these procedures to avoid any confusion for future guests. Thank you once again for your insights, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future!
