Gorgeous views!

This is a lovely, comfortable, and welcoming home in Surf City on Topsail Island, NC! The views from the upper and lower decks were magnificent! We literally spent hours sitting on the deck off the LR, in comfy chairs, talking, while looking and listening to all the wonders of the marsh and waterways. So peaceful and relaxing. The home itself was well appointed, had everything we needed, I’ve been to a couple of other rental homes which were almost bare and stark - not this home! It has warmth and personality, and you can tell it has been well cared for. We loved the beds and that there was a bathroom for each BR. House was super clean. And the owners, Joe and Missy, were so incredibly nice and kind, very helpful and responsive! It was a terrific place to stay, and would love to return :)

Jazz Get Away

Perfect location while attending the annual Ocean City Jazz Festival in July with my best friends and spouses. The townhouse was impeccable in all ways and including everything that we needed for a wonderful stay. The owners were accessible and available to make sure our stay was great. If you’re planning a visit to Topsail Island, NC, this is the place, except for the weekend of the Ocean City Jazz Festival, it might be taken☺️

Surf Sound and Sunsets

Both the hosts and property are very welcoming. Many amenities and location make this property very convenient. Short walk to beach was not a problem especially when using the cart provided. Ending each day watching gorgeous sunsets over the sound from the properties many balconies. Was a favorite for everyone. Along with kayaking and exploring the sound before or after a fun day at the beach.

Convenient Location

Place and location were perfect. Many amenities the others do not have. Bikes and Kayaks were a great touch. In all honesty, sitting on the porch overlooking the marsh and Intercoastal was worth every dime to me. Thanks for hosting!!

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Malissa Lorson

Hello,
We are Joe and Malissa Lorson. We are the owners and the managers of this property.
We live nearby in Jacksonville, NC and we are available to assist immediately should anything come up during your stay. We bought this beautiful beach property in Spring of 2015.
Together we have 6 six children & 4 wonderful grandbabies.
We love our jobs but just as much we love relaxing at the beach and enjoying the company of each other and our family. We want to give you and your family the same experiences we've had here on Topsail Island.

Why they chose this property

You will fall in love with the serenity of the water views from all rooms in this beautiful home. You will especially enjoy the peacefulness of being directly on the waterway. We have a 6 person hot-tub to soothe your muscles and your mind. When you're done in the hot-tub, take a stroll down the lighted pier and relax on the small dock. You can fish, crab, watch the wildlife or enjoy a glass of wine. We've seen more species of birds from this dock than we ever dreamed imaginable.

What makes this property unique

There is something very special about this home that is hard to put into words. We searched the island for a property knowing exactly what we were looking for. As soon as we walked in, we both knew this was it! We haven't met anyone who didn't feel exactly the same after staying here. We like to treat our guests like family and your comfort is our primary concern. We love to travel and we have incorporated the very best parts of our travels into your vacation stay. You will find all the luxuries of home, a complete and furnished kitchen with all the upgrades.
We know that you have many options when choosing a place to stay for your vacation but we are always thankful and honored when you choose ours. We look forward to hearing from you!
