There were four couples and a dog staying at this property for a week. It was perfect. We all had our own spaces. It was right on the beach. We could walk to grocery stores and restaurants. One guy rented a surf board and surfed everyday. We were in the water constantly. Plenty of deck seating. Beach chairs and umbrellas. There were bikes to ride as well. The kitchen was used a lot and was well appointed. All in all it was perfect for what we had planned. Would definitely come back.

We booked this property based on size, oceanfront property and proximity to shops and the pier. We were extremely pleased with each of these amenities. They provided us with an ample amount of basic cleaning supplies, paper towels and tp. There’s more than enough cookware, silverware and plates. It’s comfortably furnished and there were plenty of beach towels and chairs. We chose to rent bicycles via credit from renting the house. We stayed for two weeks and loved every minute of our stay. I’m already looking forward to renting the house again next summer

Perfect Beach Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was well situated and as a bonus a very quiet location away from the main road. The kids played hard on the beach and slept well in the house, a perfect vacation! We'll be sure to return in the future.

Nice place, excellent location

Place was very nice and description was spot on. The location is excellent as you can walk to many restaurants, liquor store and the local IGA grocery store. As mentioned, there is no elevator, so make sure to pack a couple smaller bags instead of one big one!

Nice location and beach access!

It was a great location! The view of the beach and sunrise and sunsets were amazing. The beds could use new mattresses. The inside could use a paint job in the hall ways. We had soo much room in the living room, dining room and kitchen! Over all it was a great family vacation.

Comfortable house in excellent beachfront location

The house is laid out well with 3 floors of living space. The bottom bedroom has total privacy and then one bedroom on the "living" level by the kitchen which was also great. Any issues we had during our stay were taken care of immediately by the property management company with ease. GREAT home for a big group family vacation!

Perfect location for family to stay together right on the beach and close to restaurants. Bikes and beach chairs provided. We were good but property does have a lot of stairs so need to take that into consideration. Rental company was great to work with.

Got lucky with weather in the off season

Location is great. Close to shops. We had weather in the 70’s at the end of November. Perfect weather without the crowds. Bottom bedroom in the basement could use a dehumidifer was kind of musty. I would def stay there again!

Fall Getaway

This house served as the perfect backdrop for a gathering of family and friends. The porch over looking the ocean was utterly fantastic. The house was very comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Plenty of large common space and 6 nice bedrooms. The property mgmt team was exceedingly helpful before and during our stay. The view from the house was so spectacular we hardly left the premises.

Great location. Great set-up. Great beach access.

Listing was not clear about sheets and towels, which should be included as part of price. Bathrooms needed trash cans.kitchen needed new utensils, etc. other than those little items, which would make it pefect, house and beach were great. Location perfect. Plenty of living space. Great deck. Great deck chairs. Would stay there again.

Granddaughter Wedding at Topsail

We have rented a property on Topsail over 10 years. Sparrow's Beach Nest was by far the best property we have ever rented. We had a group of 14 relatives and friends coming for my granddaughter's wedding. The 6 bedrooms worked out perfectly. All bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. Access to the beach was perfect, right in front of the house.

Wonderful house that caters to an adult family with a small children. King bedrooms to set a great environment, kids room, beautifully equipped, access to beach is short and easy. Loved this house. It just needs more forks and an elevator!!! Thats all! 🥰

Great Surf City House

Great location near Surf City. The accommodations worked well for my group of friends. Plenty of space and nice we didn't have to share bathrooms. Some minor issues but nothing that wasn't easily overcome. Being on the beach was very nice and convenient. The beach equipment that was provided and other's that were delivered worked well for us. The deck space was nice and big to accommodate all my group to be able to hang out there at all hours.

After years of searching- we've found it!

Every year I set out to find a place for our bi-annual girl's getaway. We've gotten older and pickier and it isn't easy finding a place that we all can be content with. We all loved Sparrow's Nest. It has a great floor plan, we were all able to hang out together and sit together at dinner with out being cramped. Great location, wonderful home and very nice and easy to work with home owner. Will definitely return.
