Sherry, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize to hear that the cleanliness did not meet your expectations. We would have been happy to address any areas in need of additional attention during your stay had we been notified. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to host you again.
The view is beautiful. There is nothing in your back view of the ocean, the back deck withall the chairs is so cozy too. My fur babies had a great time. This property is layed out beautifully. It clean and has everything you need except your clothes. I will definitely be requesting this house for my next stay at Top sail beach.
Great house, location, and amenities. Access to garage was a game changer when it was thunderstorming as we packed to leave. There’s also a second fridge there that was very appreciated!
This house made supervision of our young people easy. The location was great. The owner stopped by and was very kind. We had a great time and will be back.
This was a wonderful location! We took a group of homeschooled high schoolers here. They had a blast. Thank you so much for your afforable pricing so this group could enjoy time with one another in a beautiful location!

Nice new appliances. The refrigerator with an ice maker that worked was nice. The extra refrigerator in the garage was nice for food items and drinks. Roomy enough for the whole family.

A wonderful house. Fully stocked kitchen to cook in. Easy access to Surf City.
This was a nice place to stay. It was nice that it was two floors instead of three, reducing the number of stairs to be climbed to the living area. Beach access was difficult because of sand up over the walkway, but we managed. Kitchen was very well appointed.

It is fine
It is fine. It isn't fancy but does what it needs to do. There are minor cosmetic issues throughout. The downstairs shower is very small. It has plenty of beds. The beach isn't crowded because there is no public access close by, which is really nice. We had a fun stay overall.

Overall very nice house with great access, not great cleaners
The house was very well equipped for our family vacation. Everything provided to make it feel like home away from home. However, not great Vacasa experience. House was not cleaned very well at check-in and no remedy was offered for several days after we had already cleaned and washed sheets ourselves. Not what you want to be doing on vacation!

Can’t beat the view
Location, location, location! We throughly enjoyed our stay and would rebook should we be back in the area again to visit our kids. While the home could use some improvements and amenities do not hesitate to book this home if you are looking to enjoy the beach steps from the back porch. In comparison to other homes in the area this is a steal!

Big rooms well stocked with cooking supplies. Beschfront location is a 10. I gave it a 4 because. Bathrooms could use grab bars and a little TLC

Incredible location. The home is older so bathrooms are small and the water heater can only handle one shower at a time. The kitchen is stocked well. The views are amazing. The house could use some TLC but it was a great vacation as we spend our days on the beach.

Could have been perfect…
We loved the location. There were an infestation of gnats, they were in the kitchen, in the bathrooms, in the bedrooms which was very bothersome when eating and we see gnats landing on our food. If this problem could be fixed, we would love to stay there again.

AMAZING
This home was practically perfect for our family vacation in Topsail. Our family has been vacationing here for decades and we have stayed in dozens of different homes. This was one of my favorites by far. It is an older home, but lovingly maintained. Because of its age, there are far fewer stairs (both inside and out) than the newer homes on stilts. There was plenty of room for our family of 11 and the table was even large enough to accommodate everyone - which is shockingly unusual. The location is fantastic. Close to town but far enough from any public beach access. I rarely book a house twice in Topsail, but I would easily book this one every year.
